Just make sure that the plugs and wires are for your vehicle then change each sparkplug wire according to its length, the sparkplugs if they are new are already gapped.

SOURCE: changing glow plugs in a 1997 1.8 ford escort diesel van

Hi Patrick.

I would check that you are getting a live feed to your glow plugs terminals first, on cold starting, with a 12v test light.

Expensive to renew them, and then find it was the fuse or relay !

Best of luck !
John.

This web site shown below on replacing plugs might help you if you have never done it before. You will need to purchase the correct size spark plug socket so purchase the plugs first. The guide in the site below is quite good.
Take your time and only do one plug removal and replacement at a time and you won't get the wiring confused.

SOURCE: need spark plug wiring diagram for 1965 ford

Try this. If the distributor is in the right way, the clips that hold the cap on should be just a hair off of 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. #1 is positioned at 1 o'clock, which is at the firewall side of the distributor. The firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8and is counterclockwise from #1. The passenger's side is cylinders 1-2-3-4, from the front of the car. The driver's side is 5-6-7-8 from the front. Hope this will help.

SOURCE: Spark Plug Replacement

I changed my spark plugs and wires myself two days ago after a quote of around $550 from a local repair shop with welcomed success. It's really high because of the time it takes to do this job. I took my time and did it in about 5 hrs. The answer given for the website is a great source and helped me through a very tedious process. My best advice in addition to that is to have some 1" tape (i used flourescent green for visibility) and a sharpie and mark EVERY STINKING WIRE, HARNESS, PLUGS AND HOSES. Also it helps to make a small diagram of the bolt patterns and varoius lengths and placement of each. I started with numbering the bolts and lettering the wires and harnesses to combat confusion. I hope this helps anyone taking on this hideous task.

My 98 for explorer runs bad after I changed the spark plugs an wires and fuel filter and coil what now

You'll need to double check each item you replaced one by one to find the cause. I recommend (In the future) to replace wires, start & check engine. Replace fuel filter, start & check, coil then star & check.
For wires, make sure you have wires going to correct locations, check for possible damage to spark plugs (Cracks or breaks), and good connections.
Fuel filter, make sure it's in proper orientation as to flow direction as seen on the arrow stamped on the side, showing flow direction. and make sure you are not leaking fuel anywhere.
Coil... Again, check connections and proper wiring.
You might also wish to check for proper "Hot" (Bright Blueish spark) at the plugs.. Wear heavy insulated gloves or use well insulated grips to hold plugs against engine block to view spark.
A dimer orange spark = bad connection or faulty wire.
Also if you have a manual, they usually have detailed troubleshoot guides.
Best of luck on a speedy diagnosis!

Timing belt

Windstar vans don't use a timing belt.
The speed sensor in the transmission could cause the speedo not to work, but the slipping problems may be clutches or solenoids.
Have you checked the engine computer for trouble codes ?

I have a 2001 Ford van wind star. The heater system in the front do not work, but the back does. Why does the front will not work

there is a recall for plastic gear which fails, thus causing cold air up front, as the blend valve(door) does not shut propperly, or your heater core is plugged?
