2008 Ford Escape Spark Plug Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the spark plugs on 2008 Ford Escape?

  A: Service of spark plugs begins by removing two wire harness retainers from ignition coil stud bolts followed by disconnecting four ignition coil electrical connectors. A twisting motion of a slight degree should be applied to ignition coil-on-plugs before removal to create a better seal break for easier extraction. The service requires removal of 4 stud bolts and the ignition coils. Hand tools exclusively must be used throughout spark plug removal and installation procedures because this prevents cylinder head and spark plug destruction. Compressed air should be used to remove all foreign materials before beginning spark plug removal from the well. Following the removal of 4 spark plugs inspectors should check their condition and adjust each spark plug gap as needed. Hand tools only must be used for installing the 4 spark plugs before tightening them to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Before installing the ignition coil boots onto spark plugs, apply a tiny amount of dielectric grease inside them and follow by tightening stud bolts to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Establish a connection between each ignition coil electric connector after you secure the two wire harness retainers onto the ignition coil stud bolts.
