It's a V6, so six.



To be frank here - if you don't know how many spark plugs you have (or how to figure that out), I highly doubt you have the knowledge/skills to work on the car yourself. You'd probably be better off to pay someone to tune it up for you.



Good luck changing the three closest to the firewall.

How many cylinders is it? 4 cyl needs 4, 6 cyl needs 6, and 8 cyl needs 8.
If you do not know the size of your engine, you will need more advice than how many cylinders you have. With a Villager, I'm sure you have either a 6 cylinder or 8. Find your coil pack and count the number of wires it has. Each wire connects to a spark plug. I would say to count your spark plugs but some are hard to see.



Once you determine whether you have a 6 or 8 cylinder, you will need to find the %26quot;gap%26quot; setting for your plugs. Your Auto Parts Store should be able to tell you. You can purchase a small guage to set your plugs to the proper gap. Some people believe that when the buy plugs that are for their vehicle, that they are already gapped. NOT SO.



Another point. No doubt you probably have aluminum heads. If so, do not remove and replace your plugs until your engine has completely cooled off. Do not remove or replace plugs in a hot aluminum head. Also be sure you get the wires back on the correct plug.



Since you believe you need new plugs, also check out your wires.
it could be 4,6, or 8.count the wires or call auto parts and tell them the size motor you have it will be wrote some where under hood by front of van
You need 6 plugs, a spark plug socket, a 6 inch extension and a ratchet. You may need a wobble extension or universal joint for the 3 plugs in the back. You'll also need to do one plug at a time because if you remove all the wires, you'll have no idea where each one goes without a repair manual or marking the wires. Just do one at a time and avoid problems. Good luck, if you have to ask how many plugs you need, you should probably get some help on this job.
mercury villager? it,s probably a V6 so it will take 6 plugs. a 4 cylinder will take 4 plugs and a V8 will take 8 plugs.
