where is spark plug #3?
ok heres my story, did a tune-up about 7 months ago (new plugs,wires etc.)
about 3 months after, it starts misfiring. so i took it to ECHELON FORD in stratford nj who told me it was #3 and the wires. now i cannot understand how this is possible only after 3 months. it gets better---they tell me that they cannot get the spark plug out and they would need to take the entire head off if the plug breaks. i told them i put the plugs in and had no problem when they went in. i think they are trying to get me for some cash. anyway ---can anybody tell me where #3 is on a 99 f150 4.6?
thanks

someone like racerguy would be a better source but i suggest you soak the plug well with penetrating oil, take it real slow and pull the plug. since it's beeen just 7 months, the plug has not corroded. Maybe they have reason to think the #3 plug was cross threaded or ? if plug went in straight just 7 months ago, it ought to come out easy
