As others have said they get a bad rap on the spark plugs, mostly undeserved and mostly with the older engines. Some of this is they are a more high-tech engine and a lot of folks that hang out here aren't much for technology. The Ford modular engine family started in the '91 Towncar and spread to the '92 Crown Vics and Grand Marquis and them across the board to about anything Ford made that was rear wheel drive except maybe the two seat T-Birds and the Lincoln LS. In taxi cab service it is not uncommon for the 4.6 two valve to run 500,000 miles and if you're looking for a used black Towncar most you find are coming out of livery service and will have 200,000 plus miles on them. In trucks I see a lot of them for sale with 200,000 + miles, however some are being sold because of exhaust leaks and a few say "need plugs" don't know it it's they've HAD problems or EXPECT problems.
Being a high tech engine maintenance is a major factor in how many problems you're going to have, or to put it another way they don't endure abuse as well as lower tech engines.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
