how many spark plugs in ranger?

if your vehicle is 4 cylinder it has either 4 or 8 spark plugs ... 6 cylinder has 6 spark plugs ..

Dave H nailed it spot on BUT on the rare occasion there is a variation. I don't know what all model years they did this for, but I have a 2000 Ranger 2.5liter 4 cylinder and it requires 8 spark plugs, 4 on each side. From what I have found it was to improve its emissions and efficiency....Changing these is no fun because the back 2 on the driver's side are under the intake manifold and are very difficult to get to. Thank you Ford :/

your ranger has a dual spark plug system so there is 8 on the 4 cyl and the easiest way to get the ones under the manifold is to use a long extension inbetween the manifold and use some ones skinny hand to reach between the manifold andvalve cover if neccesary

I bought some plugs for my truck and it turned out they were too long when I screwed them in it bent the tips of the plugs and I have read about the ohv and sohc use same plugs but that they don't like eachother so what plugs from napa. Will fit my truck I would like to stay with the brand autolight or ngk thanks

See pic for application chart.

On the plate of my ranger it says the plug gap is 1.05. Everywhere I look online it says the gap is .44. 1.05 seems like a large gap. What should it be?

My manual says .044 thousandths of an inch. 1.05 would be over an inch. That would not be possible.

What type of spark plugs do I need and what is the recommended gap. I also want to buy the right air filter element. Please respond ASAP

Go to an Auto pparts store they will provide right plugs, gap and correct air filter

i would like to know what i need to set my gaps to on my spark plugs

what is the best way to get the plugs out on the left hand side of the engine

Best I can tell with out on infront of me is to remove the plug wires and use a swivle socket with an extention and remove them. If you can include a pic and I will look to see if you can remove anything to make it easier.

The Manual suggests to remove the exhaust manifold. A week ago, when I replaced these, I did NOT remove the manifold. I replaced the plugs in question with a couple of socket extensions however it was not easy. Getting the new plugs back in was not easy either. To get the plugs back in I used some rubber tubing, (I believe it was 3/8 inch i.d. tubing) and inserted the spark plug firmly into the tubing so it held the plug as I lowered it into place. I was able to get it to turn a couple of times, so that I knew it wasn't cross-threaded, then pulled the rubber tubing off and finishing tightening the plug with the plug socket and extensions. Getting the plug wire back on was also difficult as I do not have a 'plug wire puller', which would have came in handy. I put a tiny bit of vasaline on the part of the plug that is 'grabbed' by the plug wire and worked it on and off a few times prior to putting into it's hole, in order to get the plug wire to go on more easily when it came time to push it on.

Hi I got a question about spark plugs I have a 1994 Ford ranger with a 4.0 my factory spark plugs is awsf-42pp they don't make this plug no more I bought autolite ap105 at advance auto parts I just wondering can I use this spark plugs in my motor I went to autolite website I put my original spark plug number in it cross reference a app105 and that's a double platinum what's plug should I use my has the dis system

Yes that plug should work

To the Ford expert I wrote a question about spark plug for a 1994 Ford ranger that has a 4.0 motor the original plugs is awsf42pp I bought autolite ap105 from advance auto parts store I want to double check make sure this plug will work my original plug cross reference is a double platinum the first one is a platinum I wondering the platinum will work in a dis system the double platinum is used for dis system please help me to get the right plug for my truck

The plug number you listed you can no longer get is a double platnuim plug thats why it ends with two P's.If the truck burned a lot of oil i would steer clear of the platnuim plugs.They carbon foul.

cant get a spark plug wire off

They make a couple of tool's to help remove them there is a plier type and a 90 degree hook tool i have seen.You could try one of those if your having a lot of trouble.You end up replacing the wire's if it's really on there i have seen wire's come apart removing them.

how far should my spark plug gap be?

3.0=.042-.046
4.0=.052-.056

i have a 3 lt engine and the two spark plugs in the back of the engine will not turn both sides i am scared they will break off than i have trouble what can i do HELP ?

run the engine untill shes hot, then being very careful, the most careful youve ever been try to break them loose now. should be easy. after that what you do is thread them back in and torque um down to the specs wait for the engien to cool then remove again and your good to go. let it cool as to not screw up the threads

There is no firing on two spark plugs on my truck

check for faulty coil pack

how do u get the last 2 plug wires off and the plugs out. thay r under the the intake manafold next to the fire wall driver side.

not as hard as they look,you need two swivals,one 10 inch or so ext.i have same truck.take your time,
but with just those tools it is easy.

Had the same problem on my 95. Finally found that using a tent stake (the hooked end) would fit in there and I got the wires off. Not what I'd call OEM, but it worked.
