Thank you again

 

desertdad for my 2000th post, I was looking to post something prolific, I see this as good as it gets....

Your very welcome and I am glad to have helped you out in some way. I have learned alot from this forum in the past 2 years and its nice to pass along information, procedures for the DIYers here!

 

tsk tsk Rick you gave him number 5 for YOUR car not his. #5 on 2000 stype V6 is middle cylinder drivers side

 

UH OH.... I just reread the 1st post, my eyes read 2003 S type not 2000 3.0,

Thanks Brutal

 

OK some of you may think I chickened out and I am included, but as soon as I heard those 5 magic words "it's not under the intake" I switched gears. I did not change the plugs, I will though. Changed the fuel filter (thank you for the video), motorcraft so it may be original (85,000 mi), and the #5 coil pack. will take it out for a test drive shortly and let you all know. I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!!!!

 

Crossing fingers for you!

 

took the car out, ran great. Hoping this is the last that I have to do to it, this clears everything the dealer said was an issue, even had the tranny serviced early.
