SEL model, 65,000 Miles, six cylinder 3.0 L. My question is, what is the correct gap size that my spark plugs should be set to? I have checked my engine spec guide and also the sticker guide under the hood but neither specifies what the gap size should be. Please let me know as soon as possible. I have had the emission test ran on my vehicle and now i just need to change the spark plugs. I cannot afford to take my vehicle to the Ford dealership to have them changed. Thank you very much. :)

The gap should be .042 to .046. Should have been on that sticker strange. Use motorcraft or NGK spark plugs.

I was told that I would not need to gap platinum plugs. I take the old plugs out put new ones in. New wires then I put the car back together. Try starting the car it turns over but won't start try it again nothing. 2 or 3 more times later I start to smell gasoline. I take a plug out and its dirty and smells like gas.

Check to make sure you are getting a good hot blue snapping spark to the plugs, and make sure the plugs are properly gaped.

I bought Motorcraft SP432 plugs for my SHO. Its not a fun job replacing them and I want to get it right the first time. Is this the best plug and what is the proper gap. I keep getting different answers.

the true gap for your vehicle what was tested is located on the emissions lable, will tell you the recommended spark plug and the gap.

1.07 - 1.17 mm (0.042 - 0.046 in)

iridium plugs are really fancy, as are the platinums. as long as its motorcraft they are good for your car.

So I should stay away from the non ford plugs? How are the ones you recomend different from say champion, Bosch or those you can get from a auto parts store? Also what about the wiring?
