foreign material from spark plug areas of cylinder
heads (6049) with compressed air.
3. NOTE: Three different styles of
platinum-enhanced spark plugs are produced for
the 4.6L-(2V) engine. Each plug has a different
part number and use. AWSF-32P spark plugs
have a platinum-enhanced center electrode and
are used in cylinders 5, 6, 7 and 8. AWSF-32PG
spark plugs have a platinum-enhanced ground
(side) electrode and are used in cylinders 1 , 2, 3
and 4. If any spark plug is removed and
re-installed, it must be installed in the same
cylinder from which it was removed. If any spark
plug is replaced, use only spark plugs with part
number AWSF-32PP as listed on the vehicle
emission calibration identification label. This
replacement spark plug has double platinum
enhancement on both the center and ground
electrode and may be used in all eight cylinders.

to determine the condition of the spark plugs.
