Replace ignition wires 2000 taurus

I have a rough idle and engine light on - misfire - and was told that I should replace the plug wires on my 2000 Taurus 3.0 V 6 (Vulcan).

Question: Do I have to take off the manifold to get at the rear plugs?

My 2000 ford taurus seems to be misfiring while idling at traffic lights or sitting in traffic and engine light is flashing while this is happening. when i pull away from the light the engine sounds...

May be a coil pack if you say it starts when it gets warm..But check make sure the plugs and wires are good as well..If the engine light is flashing,,you need to have it fix as soon as possible..When its flashing ,,that means that its doing damage to the catalytic converter..If you wait to long you will have to replace that as well...they are very expensive..

1999 Ford Taurus 3.0L V6 24V DOHC Duratec Engine Engine was misfiring, plugs replaced, KAM erased, Idles Slow and Rough. OBDII says misfire ocurring on cyl 4 & 5. Codes P0300, P0304 and P0305

i would check the plug wires and the coils you check the plug wires for bad spots at night start the motor up and look at the plugs if you see a spark arch out the wire and to a peace of metal then the plug wires need to be replace.

2000 Ford Taurus 6 cylinder with the alternate

i would check the fuel injector o # 5 cyl... if the injector is leaking it will foul the plug out and cause a skip. the next time it happens remove the plug and check for wetness. you may also be able to put a fuel pressure tester on, if so install the tester, turn the key on 2 or 3 times leaving the key in the on position at the end, do not crank the engine, watch the tester for a minute or so and watch for a pressure drop.

My 2000 taurus keeps showing a #3 misfire code P0303. I have changed plugs, wires, checked the injector etc. Clear the code and for the most part it runs fine for a week or ? then light comes on again...

I had the same problem on my '02 Taurus, 3.0, V-6, 24 Valve engine. I replaced the plugs and plug wires which helped the problem but did not cure it. I then replaced the ignition coil (Motorcraft part # DG-485) which solved the problem. Has been running great since then...
