How can you change the rear spark plugs on a 2000 Ford Taurus without taking the engine apart?

Answer 1

Actually OKLATOM is incorrect. Why take the engine apart? I don't recall ever doing that on the 24V engine. The right section of cowl panel there at the bottom of the windshield is a two piece design. To remove the cowl panel just loosen the plastic cover, then remove four screws and the whole right half of the cowl panel will come out of your way. Then you will have room clear up to the windshield. Work smarter, not harder. If the engine is the 12V engine. You can get a rachet and socket behind it with no problem, just have to reach around the engine.

Answer 3

If you have a 12 valve, the spark plugs are accessible by reaching around behind the engine from the driver's side.

If you have a 24 valve, the easiest way is to remove the upper intake manifold. I have done this without removing it, by tediously removing the ignition coil, which is held on with three 10mm bolts, and then using whatever combination of three inch and six inch socket extensions to access the plugs, but that is an aggravating way to do it. The best way is unbolt the manifold, suspend it with a bungee cord, and access your plugs.

(I charge extra for these by the way)

The factors adult men additionally will clarify what the codes recommend. i'd additionally replace the gasoline filter out, that is overdue to get replaced. when you get it working, upload gasoline injector cleanser to a pair intense octane gasoline and you need to work out progression. you additionally can attempt resetting the engine administration gadget with the help of disconnecting the + battery cable, (key on, engine off) for extra or less 20 minutes), then turn off the biggest and reconnect the battery. good success.

Answer 5

OKLATOM has it right. But one word of caution, while you have the plenum hung from the hood (or??) be VERY careful not to allow anything (like nuts, screws, tools etc) to fall into the engine. You won't very much like the result or the aggravation of having to retrieve whatever fell in. It can take a LOOONNGG time and a great deal of aggravation.

Good Luck
