I would check the wires too, not sure what the wear limits are on modulars (i'm new at this eng) but theres a certain resistance (aka Ohms) that each plug wire should have per foot.

99+ 4.6 SOHC's don't have wires. I would check and replace the spark plugs during your tuneup as well.

depending on mileage, you might want to change the O2 sensors too.

Here is what I did to my 01gt a few months ago,,

Oil change (fully synthetic) Mobil 1
Oil Filter (Not Fram) any other brand is fine
Fuel Filter
Clean the Air Filter
New spark plugs
New Transmission oil
New antifreeze and water

I also put grease in all the suspesion parts to keep them working fine.. [patriot] [patriot]
