Spark plugs & fuel filter questions - 7/15/2006 7:45:23 PM    DaveinSoCal   Posts: 4 Score: 0 Joined: 6/28/2006 Status: offline OK, I admit I don't know much about Fords, but this one really has me buffaloed. Decided to change the spark plugs in my wife's '99 contour (120k miles, 2.0). Pulled a spark plug wire off and found that the plugs are way down there submerged in oil - darndest thing I ever saw. Now if I pull a plug oil is going to run down into the cylinder. How do I change the plugs on this car? Also, can anyone tell me where the fuel filter is on this model. I hope it's not in the gas tank. Would appreciate any help you guys can give me. Post #: 1
