I here a popping noise in engine compartment nesr air cleaner. Car seems to run fine. & I think it's about time to change plugs took one out and checked it gap is not what it should be sticker oin engine area says 1.04 to 1.14 which I belive is about.40 to.46 and the gap was about.055. One more thing the plugs in car are motorcraft ASGF32PM & when I called ford parts they said never heard of them he said there is no PM it has to be FM. Any help would be nice. Thank you. Pepperone

As time goes by and plugs show signs of wear, the gap always gets wider! This is normal. As for your part number. Can't help with whats in the car, replace now with the correct part# Is the check engine light comming on? If yes get any codes read, Autozone does it free, then post the codes before you replace any parts!

The only sensor over there would be the MAF see if there is any dirt on the heated wire.
