Very helpful and informative. You also speak very clearly. Thanks!
Thank you! I have an alaskan accent so some folks find it difficult to understand. Take care.
I changed my plugs and wires without this video. This video leaves out allot of information! At least you didn't have music playing instead of talking, those DIY videos with music suck! LOL.
Very true left out the hard part
I got to do this job on a 3900 Uplander - I moved engine forward, but access is still bad.
I was thinking of removing upper intake manifold to improve access, but I can't get access to the intake's rear bolt (near alternator)...
Please provide any guidance, as I'm hitting a bit of a roadblock!
I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you have beautiful eyes and your eye contact is fantastic even through the video. Thank you so much for all this wonderful information!
You're amazing, so nice!
Thanks for sharing this information was very helpful number 5 just started misfiring and I took a look 😢and realized that ain’t normal getting back there 😂 great tip ❤
It does a very good job in explaining his videos great job so well to do listen to this guy he's got it right way to take me doing it plus you explaining the phone very easily that's all
I have a 2003 Chevy Venture, changed the plugs at 90,000 miles. Took about less than hour for the front 3, around 3-5 hours for the back 3. And about a month ago with 158,000 miles I changed them again, spark plug wires metal connector broke off on all 3 back plugs. i think this will be the last time. LOL
Run the car up on ramps, you will have all the room that you need
I just removed the ignition coil pack, and the MAP sensor assembly and worked my arms back there and got to all of them.🤷
I love you man! great trick!
Thank you
Thank you
Made doing tune up alot easier
I have an EGR P0401 and need to take it off/ clean it out. But it's buried in there. Anybody used the same tilting strategy to better get to the EGR? Also, do the EGRs use the high-tension (or is it tensile?) bolts that tend to break off when you try to reinstall them and, if so, any advice on where to pick up replacements before I try to take off the EGR?
+Joe the EGR is a little tight but you should be able to get it with a combination wrench. I don't remember breaking a mounting bolt off on one either. Good luck!
would you happen to have any videos for changing the EGR valve. I have the same code and retrieved the part but waiting to see if it is safe to remove the hoses that are in the way. I have been looking for a video.
Show getting to the rear plugs
thank you so much
You bet! Glad you watched!
i didnt understand the part about the hoist and accessing from underneath. what are you hoisting. I have a 2007 Malibu v6. Is it simialr to this video? thx
I was referring to a vehicle hoist and lifting the car in the air to access the rear plugs from the bottom. It's easier from top
No, I think the plugs are pretty easy to access on your vehicle.
Do I have to take off the intake manifold to remove the coil pack on this model
No
Why AC Delco? As long as you have the iridum or whatever plugs, why does it matter brand, other than paying more money?
i use AC Delco, Cost me about $5.50 a piece at Rock----. com. Got A $3.00 rebate on 6 of them.
I need more blood. 400,000 km on the original plugs, I think it's time. Thanks Bro, cheers from Vancouver Island. :)
How did it go for you? I have a 3.9L upander on Vancouver Island that needs this job. I can't see how I can do it without pulling upper intake manifold off first...
@@pingpong9656 It's still running on the factory plugs if you can believe it. I have a nice clean replacement engine with 90,000 km sitting on a pallet in my yard. I'm waiting for the original engine to pack it in. Hope I'm waiting awhile. Changing the plugs is a bitch for sure.:)
thanks Dr car
+Sporting Real Fc You are welcome! Thanks for dropping by.
👍 Tim I wonder how many retakes you do for a vid ? Looks like your having a ball making vids and ready to break out laughing at any moment . Did you decide on a new snap on scanner , if so which model ?
Steve Rob No, still limping along with the old Verus. I just had to replace the K20 key because it wore out I guess. Don't know if ill update it any more. I do some retakes and sometimes forget to edit out several takes of the same sentence. I should watch my own videos more often before I post them.
+The Car Doctor What are the torque specs for the plugs?
Not sure. Check your manual. Thanks.
Didn't see you pull any of the back plugs ,who did it for you ?
Are you working in an aircraft hangar or what, with all that echo?
my steering wheel on my 07 uplander wont lock so it wont start
So it won't crank over? Strange.
I have been unable to get the back 3 plug wires loose from the plugs , any suggestions, like your comment you can reach them from the bottom side , I can reach the plug wires but not able to pull them off the plugs, the garage wants $300.00 dollars for changing the plugs, that is a joke
WD 40 or penetrating oil
Thank yoy
Greetings
How much does it usually cost to replace spark plugs
Depends on the vehicle. Sometimes $50 sometimes $500
what is your estimate for changing the spark plugs on a 2006 uplander?
HI DOC IF I CAN ADD MY 2 CENTS WORTH, I,M A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN YOU AND I HAVE AN 05 UPLANDER, I RAISED IT ON MY HOIST AND JUST REMOVED THE THREE NUTS SECURING THE EXHAUST AND JUST PUSHED THE EXHAUST OVER SLIGHTLY ENOUGH TO GET MY HANDS BACK THERE. I LOST ONLY A PINT OF BLOOD AND THOSE EXHAUST STUDS ARE A LOT STURDIER THAN THOSE TINY TWIGS THEY USED BACK IN THE DAY
Wow, only lost a unit of blood. Awesome job! I appreciate your feedback. I'll give that a try if I get one of these back in for tune up work. You take care!
IF YOU TAKE THE FRONT MOUNTS LOOSE AND JACK THE TOP OF THE ENGINE BACK TOWARDS THE VAN YOU CAN GET TO THE PLUGS BETTER. IVE TRYED PULLING THE ENGINE FOWARD BUT JACKING IT BACK TOWARDS THE VAN GIVES YOU BETTER ACCESS TO THE REAR PLUGS.
BLINK DAMN IT!!!
Pouahhaha
I love this car I from Iraqi
trasmision has plany oil
why my chevy uplander not shift any gear after parked runnig fine
Sounds like your transmission isn't happy
Freaking ridiculous this is what it takes just to change plugs!
😂😂😺😺😺
There are much simpler ways to do this than what this video shows that was way too extra
Thanks I got all the tools I need but not the blood, ex- wife just sucked it all out of me like a leech.
Here is a video that goes into it step by step: ruclips.net/video/W2xvbQRdHVQ/видео.html
