Hey,
My apologies. Can someone point me towards where the maintenance/mechanical FAQs are? I can't find them.
I have a 4th gen., 2004 SES, Duratec (3.0L DOHC V6) w/ 58K on it. Never had any major probs with it. Great car. Anyway, it's starting to hesitate during acceleration.
I hope it's a dirty fuel filter but I think it's probably a spark plug/arcing problem.
Could someone tell me when Ford calls for the plugs and boots to be changed? And where is there a detailed explanation about dealing with that manifold cover and geting it back on the right way after the plug/boot replacement?
It looks like it might not be too hard to do but there always seems to be a trick or a good tip out there to make things like this easier.
I'll buy the plugs, boots and manifold upper gasket, and what the hell, a fuel filter too. IF I decide to ask a mechanic to do it, what is a fair price for the labor on this job?
Thanks,
Mickey
