To service your spark plug, disconnect the negative battery cable and take off the intake manifold. Prior to removal of ignition coils, compressed air must be sprayed on and around the coils and spark plug to dislodge particles from the spark plug tube. For the 3.5L engines, holding the engine in the air, screw the screws backward and for a turnaround and don't lose the spacers under the coil. After that, you will need to take out the ignition coil before removing the spark plug with a quality socket (preferably one with a rubber or foam insert) and checking the spark plug condition. When installing a spark plug, first start it by hand so as not to cross thread it in the cylinder head, then tighten to 17 N.m (12.5 ft. lbs.). Install the ignition coil assembly on the spark plug, tighten the coil screws by hand, and torque the screws to 6.7 N.m (60 in. lbs.). Incorporate and lock electrical connection, replace intake manifold, and reconnect negative battery cable.
