I am in the process of replacing the plugs on my F150 with the 5.0 liter V-8. I'm not sure how to get to the 3rd plug from the front on the passenger side. It appears to be underneath a sensor or controller that is associated with the fuel injection. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want a response you will need more info on truck & engine ,,,, List everything you know including anythink you have checked !!! Any recent repair etc.
Also list your trk in your signature ...Look @ mine below this message...That info will appear everytime you post !!

 

Got it. The truck is a 2020 F150 4x4 Crew cab. It's marked as an XLT and when I bought it (used) it was advertised by the dealer as an XLT. But if I search the VIN, it is listed as a Platinum, even though it has none of the platinum markings. The engine is the 5.0 liter V8. The kicker is that it was originally sold in Canada. I suspect that is why the information that I can find on the internet describing the spark plug access isn't consistent with what I see under the hood.

 

A couple photos could help a lot. VIN searches are often wrong about the trim level so don't worry about that.

 

there's a great couple of YouTube videos that talk exactly about changing sport plugs in a 5.0 F150 and I have that same thing and I believe it's something to do with the fuel pressure. I'm driving so I can't search my YouTube videos to send you the link. I think it's some sort of a fuel pump pressure sensor and I did not have to remove it. I left it completely intact and that third plug was easy.

 

Helping to take him down a rabbit hole? It needn't be that difficult as Havershap shows.

 

You were a great help, to nobody.

 

Here is a video on a 2018 %>) looks like the mechanical fuel pump is near the plug in question. KM

 

Thanks, I think that video showed me what I need to know.
