#3 Spark Plug ¡¡¡HELP!!!

[Nicaraguense]

I am changing my spark plugs. I have come to the last one (that dainged #3) I have a 2000 Explorer XLT 4x4 with A/C and that dainged heater core. First of all, any advice? Also, Under of over (to change it)?

Take your tire off, you might be able to get to it through the wheel well...

Thanks

I thought about it after I posted that and cut the wheel to the right and got it through the wheel well. Man, I am glad I won't have to do that again for a while. Hey, what type of spark plugs is everyone running around here? I just put the Motorcraft Plantinums back in it. I looked at the Bosch platinums that are supposedly a good plug and well, I just don't trust that. Granted the electrode is platinum but it should be larger than the size of a pencil dot on a piece of paper so I just got the Motorcraft since they are the origionals, platinums and have a good, normal sized electrode.

I went with Motorcraft plugs and wires. $102 total at the dealership because I couldn't find it at any other stores. AutoZone said they sold out and Advance Auto doesn't sell Motorcraft stuff so I was stuck with the dealer. The plugs were $5.50 and the wires were $63.

Bosch Plats

Nicaraguense,

I always used the Bosch Plats, work great, even w/the skinny electrode. Never mind the multi pointed things, the single gives you a consistent spark.

Good luck!
