Learn how to replace your spark plugs, cap and rotor on your Ford Taurus.
Tools that are required:
Spark plug socket Ratchet Torque wrench (not mandatory) Flat tip screwdriver 00:16
First remove shield on the front, covering the spark plug area. This shield is held on by four bolts and will require 5/16 socket. 00:30

Remove the first spark plug. 00:42
Install the new spark plug, starting by hand and finish tightening with the socket for a snug fit. 00:59
Tighten tightly but be careful not to break the spark plug off in the engine block. 01:05
Go to the rotor cap on top and remove center wire (coil wire) and set aside. 01:22
Remove the two screws holding the rotor cap down and set them aside so as not to lose them. 01:36
Remove the cap and then remove the rotor from the center of the part. Look for burns or cracks and if any are found, replace with new rotor. 01:44
Slip the rotor cap back on and install the two screws back in place, starting by hand and snug with wrench. 01:58
Install the coil wire back in the center position and you are done. 02:04
