Continental V8-4.6L DOHC (1995)
Spark Plug: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect ignition wires from spark plugs.
2. Loosen spark plugs 1/4 turn and use compressed air to remove any dirt or foreign material from spark plug areas of cylinder heads.
3. Remove spark plugs.
NOTE: Three different styles of platinum enhanced spark plugs are produced for this Continental engine. Each plug has a different part number
and use. AWSF-32E spark plugs have a platinum enhanced center electrode and are used in cylinders 5, 6, 7, and 8. AWSF-32EG spark plugs
have a platinum enhanced ground (side) electrode, and are used in cylinders 1, 2, 3, and 4. If any spark plug is removed and re-installed, it MUST
be installed in the same cylinder from which it was removed. If any spark plug is replaced, use only spark plugs with part number AWSF-32EE (as
listed on the VECI label). This replacement spark plug has double platinum enhancement on both the center and ground electrode and may be used
in all six cylinders.
4. Check and adjust spark plug gap.
