with a spark plug socket Whoever wrote the above answer has never been under the hood of a late model Ford van. I have found it impossible to remove the coil packs from the engine without lowering the engine a few inches to gain clearance. It is a horrible design and the engineers over at ford should be shot for making the worst cars and trucks in the world. try to see if there is an engine cover under the center console. I didn't have to lower the engine... and you WILL need a spark plug socket... CLICK "View Discussion" Below, and helpful info may follow. -sbp
You need to remove the coil on plugs Each plug has it's own coil fitted you need to remove these to gain access to the spark plugs which are located under the coils.
Have fun. You have to pull the fuel rail to get the direct igniton off then you can get at the plugs. Tip from pro: If your CAREFULL you can sneak the coils out with the fuel rail still on. Then you can get the plugs out.
There are six (6) ignition coils and six (6) spark plugs for a V8 3.5 liter engine.
They are under the coils in the top of the valve covers.
on top of the spark plugs in the intake manifold.
if coils are taken off,then you can access the back plugs ok! coils are on a plate with 3 bolts holding it on to engine. this is the best way to get at back plugs on v6.
You need to remove the valve cover ((V8) motor) and remove the spark plug coils, then you can change the plugs.
No, as long as they were working good before you changed plugs and did not break them while changing the plugs they will work fine.

They are under the 6 ignition coils. There is a coil for each spark plug. You have to remove the coils, and then remove the plugs.
They are under the coils, which are located next to the injectors.
The coils die faster than the plugs! The RX8 Irridium plugs need to be changed at 25,000 miles per the maintenance manual. Replace the plugs and ignition coils when the car won't rev over 9,000 rpm smoothly.
