Greetings! I am new to the forum, but am encouraged by the appearance of friendly help.
I am not a mechanic, but do some basic maintenance to save money.
My Aerostar is running roughly, and according to Advance Auto's code reader, cylinders 3, 5, and 6 are misfiring. My plan is to remove and replace the plugs, wires and ignition coil. I would much appreciate any tips for accessing these items, especially those "rear" plugs.
Other posts and on-line research have indicated the firing order as: 1-4-2-5-3-6, with cylinder locations as: (from the front of the vehicle) driver's side: 4, 5, 6; passenger side: 1, 2, 3. the connections on the ignition coil have been indicated to be: (from the front of the vehicle) driver's side: 5, 6, 4; passenger side: 1, 2, 3. (Unfortunately, I have yet to find this information all in one place, so hopefully this may help others in the future.)
Again, I would much appreciate any tips and suggestions along with verification of the above information. Thanks in advance.
