Number 6 would be the second one on the drivers side.

the back one on the passenger side is a bitch...there not to bad but get a air hose or good vac to get dirt out from around injectors and plugs. just pull fuel rails off and push them over out of the way then start unbolting coil packs and changing plugs one at a time..make sure you have one or maybe two 3/8 joints too make it easier..i would soke plugs with wd-40 the day before also

yeah somebody else told me the same thing about the back on the passenger side but i was gonna let the ford place change them but they want almost 300 hundred dollars in just labor and then a 160 dollars for 8 spark plugs and a 1 coil pack is that a decent price or is it a rip off

there easy to remove once you pull fuel rail off to side, need 1/4 drive socket with joint and 7mm socket if you have it, can do it without joint but its easier with it, undo bolt ,grab coil and pull it off, if boot comes off just put it back on, just make sure and line the arrows up on boot and coil
