It's the Duratec 30, which wasn't offered in Ford trucks so I don't know much (or anything, really!) about it. It's cams are chain-driven, so no timing belt to replace. About all a tune-up most likely consists of is new double platinum plugs, plug wires if needed, filters and PCV valve...

my first car was a taurus with a 30 dohc motor, i missed that in my o2 with the regular 30, but anyways, all i did was platinum plugs, wires, and new filters all around. make sure it isnt the egr sensor code, most i have seen get an egr low flow code after 100000. you have to take off the coil to get to the rear plugs anyway so i ended up doing it. made it to 225000 but i abused the crap out of that car
