Where are the spark plugs located on a 4.6 ford engine?

The location of spark plugs on a 4.6L Ford engine depends slightly on the specific year and whether it's a modular (Windsor) or a different architecture (though 4.6L is almost always modular). Generally, however, they are located on the top of the engine, in the cylinder heads. You'll find one spark plug per cylinder (8 total for the V8).

To be more precise, you'll need to:

* Consult a repair manual specific to your year and model of vehicle. This manual will have diagrams showing the precise location of each spark plug.

* Look at your engine bay. The spark plug wires will generally be visible, leading you directly to the spark plugs. They're usually surrounded by ignition coils, which makes them a bit easier to spot.

Without knowing the precise year and model of your Ford vehicle with the 4.6L engine, a more detailed answer isn't possible. The location might vary slightly even within the 4.6L modular family due to different accessory placements.
