new member, changed my spark plugs on my "new" 98 3.0 with 101k on the clock, it wasn't running that bad, only an occasional misfire detectable with an automatic tranny. old plug gaps ranged from 0.065 to 0.085 my guess is they were original plugs. had to re-gap new plugs from auto parts store to match emissions sticker 0.042 to 0.046. It was 80° degrees outside today so just worked in shade instead of jockeying cars in and out of the garage. have not checked after dark to see if any wires are arcing, two appear to have been replaced. Took about 3 beers and 2 hours to complete.
