Changing plugs on 2000 mpv

I've change mine couple times, the back side on the V6 is the hardest.
You'll need 3/8 drive, extensions, 2 universals, 5/8 plug socket. The
front side is ok because you'll notice cutouts in the front for the drive
extensions. The back side you'll have to remove the distrbutor for it's base
and simply push it to one side then, with patience remove each plug.. Buy
new plugs ( and gap them ). I bought Bosch, Do not install ungapped plugs.

You might want to consider platinum plugs as well. They came stock in our
'96 Town and Country (which has a similar access problem). Took me quite a
while to get them changed and, in some, the gap was about twice the spec.
Car ran great, however and, if I recall, I changed them around 120K.

the 2000 mpv needs platinum plugs do not install any other kind then the
ford motorcraft platinum plugs which can be purchased from your local dealer
also the 2.5l v-6 is eligible for a new intake manifold as a recall and is a
good idea to look into getting your plugs done at the same time as getting
the intake manifold done
