is the journey pretty close to the pacifica?

we have a 2006 pacifica. 3.5l v6 engine, automatic

what plugs should i put into it?

i know it has the same engine as the journey

i have actually tried the pacifica site, with little luck on any usable information

 

It may be the same as 2009-10 DJ 3.5 v6
and it depends what kind of plug you want
standard or longlife.
Just Google "sparkplugs for 2006 pacifica 3.5 L"
Here's one I got http://www.partsgeek.com/mmparts/spa.../pacifica.html

 

what is the minimum i should go with?

i just put single platinums on my dodge van...

i know my old explorer specified double platinums from the factory

not worried about long life... just the best i can get for performance. i know this isn't a racecar, but my wife does a lot of commuting, and also a lot of city driving. she also drives semi aggressively as well....

is there anything else to do other than the plugs?


i have noticed they are a coil on plug configuration

 

Specs are spelled out in owners manual as a rule
plus there is a sticker usually under the hood that
gives factory plug spec #.
I would think it's more cost effective to change a
cheaper plug more often to assure best mpg than
to pay premium for plugs.
About all any regular owner can do is run synthetic
oil, maintain plugs, filters and tire pressures.
Unless your getting codes (ie 02 sensors) not much
else except your driving habits and terrain to consider.

 

i don't have hte owner's manual, and the vehicle is currently @ work with my wife

she did say she is having hesitation issues with it. i know that we haven't had the plugs changed on it. no codes have been thrown. she said it clunks a lot but i think that is probably an engine/tranny mount

we do run synthetic oil

 

And you are probably right. Front and Rear Engine Mount on Pacifica does go out a lot. I highly recommend you go get it fix ASAP. If it breaks, all of these motor flex can tear up your Exhaust pipe and sometimes even engine wiring.

I think the pacifica have 100k miles plugs. If you are not there yet, and it isn't throwing a Code, you probably should just leave it alone for now. Because changing these plugs requires removing Intake manifold, quite labor intensive.
