2004 F150

Let me make it known that I am not a mechanic and my experience with working on vehicles is very limited.

I love to do all my own work if I can because I believe I should know what my vehicle is all about.

Any tips you can give me are appreciated. I heard something about the spark plugs. Are these like normal plugs or are they 2 part plugs?

What do I need to know?

well you didn't mention it here but in one of your earlier posts I see that you have the 4.6L so you are good. No issues on the 4.6 2V, only the 5.4L 3V and the 4.6L 3V(which they put in the explorers and mountaineers 06+). So you got regular old plugs, with a coil pack on top.

I am now questioning the ability of my mechanic. But, I figured it would just keep happening and decided to replace the engine. I had found a low mileage at a really good price. Whole job was $2000.00
