I want to change the spark plugs on my 2004 Ford Focus. The problem is, it's the California emissed 2.3 Liter vice the US 2.0 liter. I have the Chilton's, but that is primarily for the 2.0 and ZTec motors. The manual specifically says the 2.3 liter does not have spark plug wires, but speaks of removing them another way - I am pretty good mechanically, but I cannot understand how to do this procedure.
2004 Ford Focus 2.3 Liter, Changing the spark plugs?
You are correct that your engine has no spark plug wires. Instead you have four COPs (coil-on-plugs). Simply disconnect the electrical connector and remove each 7mm bolt securing each COP to the engine for access to the spark plugs. Be sure to use only the proper Ford/Motorcraft plugs gapped to the factory spec of 0.049%26quot; to 0.053%26quot; (1.25 to 1.35mm) for the best results. Hope this helps.
2004 Ford Focus 2.3 Liter, Changing the spark plugs?
Not the type of thing you should do with a new car.Please take it to your local ford dealer.Most spark plugs on newer cars should be replaced every 100k miles. There is more to this than you think.
i think on that one they have coils on each plug take the screw out and remove to get to the plugs
stick with what ford girl said but I am adding additional reccomendations apply dialectric grease to the inner side of the coil on plug boot (cop) also use antiseaze on the spark plug threads only.while your there its a good idea to do your fuel and air filters as well.
