[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 1017126, member: 56140"] My Sport Trac is running fine. I have close to 90,000 miles on the plugs, but I just don't feel like changing them anytime soon. The problem is our Mounty. We have a 2006 Mounty with the 4.6 V8. In 2012, I changed the OE plugs (not one single problem pulling the old ones out) and I replaced them with the one piece Champions. Personally, I don't like anything other than a Motorcraft plug in a Ford, but the one piece design was very enticing. Here I am 2 years and 33,000 miles later with a miss. I am not sure if it is the Champion plugs or maybe a bad coil or plug boots. Anyways, I recall reading somewhere on here that Ford made an upgraded Motorcraft plug that doesn't have the issues of the multi-piece plugs. Is that correct? I don't know if it is the plugs for sure, I am still trying to diagnose the issue, but I am just doing my homework before I make any moves. I do have this sneaky suspicion the plugs are bad.
