Has anyone changed their own sparkplugs on an Escape ? How hard was it
?..there's SO much plastic on top of the engine.

I haven't done the plugs on my '02, but from what I read, it's definitely a
chore. (See www.escape-central.com)
The intake manifold has to be removed, plus all the stuff hooked to it-
throttle linkage, etc. I've only got 45K miles on mine, so I'm hoping I have
a while before I have to do it.

Good luck!
