I haven't done anything to get the ez out yet but yes I did fire it on 7 cylinders.
I'm making an appointment with the shop today. It's pretty depressing to me that I got a whole side done no problem, then messed up the other side. The explorer isn't my only ride - just my winter one.
FWIW I'm using NGK G power plugs - I didn't mean to start a war over plugs but Ford is to blame for the half thread BS, and they wanted $8 a plug for the AS413 or whatever the PN was. $64 for spark plugs? No thanks!!!
On the other hand - I had a feeling my plugs were original so it goes both ways. From what i gather from my removed plugs the engine seemed to be running fine BUT the gap was over .080 - amazing!
I heard that Ford has a specific tool for the 5.0 to remedy the broken plug issue. Is this true??
