Yea man on those 5.4s there on the passenger side of the engine all the way at the back of the throttle body elbow i belive. That has to be a pain. But no more of a pain as piston number 4 spark plug and coil way under the fire wall.
At least you can get to them without pulling the body/plenum. Hopefully they used 8mm bolts, -they're a little easier to deal with back there lol. Some have 10mm.
I just took mine off 01 5.4 without pulling the tb. Just make sure you hang on to the 2 bolts that hold it on so you dont drop them down into no mans land The connector is kinda hard to get off...I just used a flathead screwdriver..
