We bought it from the dealer who did not tell us it had been in a major accident. I found out when I received the registration. Next I had to have both front bearings replaced, last week a new Ford dealer took me for a major tuneup plus at $400. A day later it sounded & acted just as bad as before. A friend told me to take it to Shucks Auto Parts where do do FREE Electrical scans. My #7 spark plug wire was not connected to spark plug so the technician connected it free. Now it runs fine. But I need a new Program key, dealer told me it would cost me $100. per key. But I bet I can beat that somewhere? Joe

um just so you know the cost for the tune up is legit because of that last plug under the a/c

however, make damn sure that they recharged your a/c as they have to discharge it and remove it to get to that plug

hey steve replaced the plugs on my sons 98 sport and got to it  though the wheel well no need to mess with ac.  mike

um... not true. I'll admit it's a bitch to get to that plug, but you do not need to remove the a/c components to replace the plug. I've done it myself. I'll admit I cussed the a@@hole that designed it - but it can be done. Go thru wheel well and have the right extensions.

I took my Explorer over to Schucks Auto Parts and the young fella just reached down & secured the  Wire to the 7th plug for free. No dealer cost. Explorer works like a Charm now.   Joe
