changing spark plugs

[reward44]

When removing plugs can the drivers side rear plug be removed without removing the charge pipe or does it have to move to get the coil pack removed?

It was snug but I removed the coil and plug without removing the pipe.

Thanks.

Same here. Just gotta be patient while you are doing it.

Well got the plugs changed today while nothing else to do but watch it snow. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, took about an hour. Glad I did as one of the boots at the top of the coil was not installed correctly and somehow got oil down in the plug well. There wasn't much maybe half a tea spoon or less. Surprised at the carbon build up on a couple of them, mostly on the electrode. Oh well back in business and awaiting the 16 inches of snow to melt so I can drive it again. Now onto the explorer sport..

That oil is more than likely from a bad valve cover gasket. Been k own to happen on a few SHOs. Unless someone poured it down there while your coil was removed which I highly doubt. I would let your dealer look at it.

Usually plug well #3, driver side on the "rear"/firewall-side bank.

It was either 3 or 4 right in the middle front. Not sure which this is I haven't seen a diagram. This was the coil pack that had the upper gasket pinched and not put on properly but still hard to explain other than valve cover gasket.
