I am getting ready to do a tune up on my 1999 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0L. I have 200,000 miles on it and figured it is about time.
I remember years back before electronic ignition when a tune up would consist of spark plugs, Points and condenser, rotor, distributor cap, sometimes wires and a coil.
Could you tell me what I need for a complete tune-up with electronic ignition?
My list consists of coil packs, spark plugs, possible spark plug wires.
Am I missing anything? (seems like it)
Any tips ? I have heard something about the drivers side and passengers side of the engine require something.
I have heard NGK Plugs are they way to fly, do you feel it is true?
Any information will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Rick
