Ford TaurusAlong the way, Ford has made some 500 changes to the Taurus, changes that were already scheduled for the mid-cycle freshening of the Five Hundred. The general body shape of the new Taurus is the same as that of the previous Five Hundred, a large, front-wheel-drive family sedan, but almost everything else has changed for the better.
I need some guidance on removing the rear spark plugs on a 2002 Taurus. Also if you have any other tune up tips for this car/motor let me know I am new to Taurus'. I had a Ford Probe with a V-6 that looks kinda similar to this motor and the rear spark plugs were a biatch to get too. Also where is the fuel filter and do I need that special tool to remove it? Thanks guys.....
Remove the cowling and getting to the rears is a piece of cake.
Fuel filter is under the vehicle near the right frame rail. No special tools needed. Release fuel line pressure before you pop the fittings.

Were you talking about the cowl that goes around the windshield wiper arms? I took that off but I didn't get any more clearance. Is there another cowl you are referring to? So far I got 4 out of 6 plugs.
