anyone who just wants to change rear sparkplugs, this isn't necessary.

1. remove the window vents under wipers (4 button plastic tabs on each side, pop off with screw driver).

2. remove water tins under window vents (3 screws to a side).

Thank you for this video! It helped me remove the air intake manifold to access the rear spark plugs! I appreciate your help!

I would like to personally thank you for this video. I needed to perform a pcv valve change, plugs change and new wires. (tune up) . Your video helped me do this. I bought the Haynes manual (Joke) and also checked Chiltons (Joke). Neither one covers the DOHC only the OHV and OHC. The Duratec was a vague mention. I guess they only wanted to cover the easy engines not the hard ones. Because of your video you saved me a great deal of aggravation and money. For this I thank You.

Thank you for posting this superb tutorial. My son and I needed to pull the top off of a Duratec in a 2002 Taurus so that we could access the streering rack to change the high pressure hose that was leaking. Once we had the intake manifold off, we sufficient access to replace the leaky hose.

Thank you! Thank you, Thank you! I had to get under the UIM to replace my coil and change plugs & plug wires, and PVC valve. Appreciate you and your assistant taking the time to record and post. This needs a link to TCCA. Thanks!!!
