Default Motor Problems....

Well I decided to change the spark plugs in my truck myself this weekend, big mistake, I broke 2 plugs off in the motor, can't get 3 out to save my life and someone before me also tried this and rounded off one the of the other plugs, but I was able to get 2 out without breaking them. I called the parts store and try to find the tool to get them out and they said I just needed a socket and a wrench, what a dumba**. Now I am going to have my truck towed to a mechanic.

While its there, what else should I have replaced as far as a turn up goes? My truck has 130,000 miles on it. Any suggestions?

buy the tool to remove the broken plugs, ford dealer will sell it, along with snap-on , mac, or matco tools... that is if you plan on finishing the job yourself

Coil on plug...each cylinder has its own coil attached to each plug. and I agree ...you can finnish this job yourself with the right tools.
