I just replaced the six spark plugs on my 2003 Mercury Mountaineer 4.6L V6 SOHC. with 95K miles on the original plugs. There are 6 plugs in total (3 on each side of the engine). The ones on the driver side are easily accessible. Just twist & pull off the plug wire (some were on real tight and required considerable pull),and you will see the spark plug.

The 3 on the passenger side could only be accessed by removing the whatyamacall it (the big black air duct that goes between the air filter and the throttle body).

I purchased the 6 OEM spark plugs (Motorcraft Platinum) from Autozone for like $24 for all 6.

The original plugs were gapped to like 60-70mm. The specs call for the plugs to be gapped between 52-56 mm and this is what I used. I didn't bother to change the plug wires as they seemed fine to me.

Relatively easy job. Took me 90 minutes to do. I am novice mind you. I am not sure what vehicle the poster below was referring to. The coil packs were located in the front of the engine, not on top of the spark plugs.
