Spark Plugs
3.8L V6
Type Motorcraft AWSF-44EE
NOTE: Three different styles of platinum-enhanced spark plugs are produced for the 3.8L engine. Each spark plug has a different part number and use. AWSF-44E spark plugs have a platinum enhanced center electrode and are used in cylinders 4, 5 and 6. AWSF-44EG spark plugs have a platinum-enhanced ground (side) electrode and are used in cylinders 1, 2 and 3. If any spark plug is removed and re-installed, it MUST be installed in the same cylinder from which it was removed. If any spark is replaced, use only spark plugs with part number AWSF-44EE as listed on the vehicle emission control information label. This replacement spark plug has double platinum enhancement on both the center and ground electrode and may be used in all six cylinders.
Gap 0.052-0.056 In. (1.32-1.42 mm)
Torque 7-15 Ft. Lbs (10-20 N.m)
4.6L V8 (4V)
Type Motorcraft AWSF-32EE
