The narrow gapped plug was the one you dropped. Probably landed on that end and hence reduced the gap.
Was just going to say this. It emphasizes why Ray always says never drop the plug down the hole.
Ditto.
"comment generator" boost the comments and algorithm 😅
I saw that myself 🙂
That is possible.
23 years old Honda and still running with plugs that can be changed without removing a rats nest of wires, air intakes, boxes and brackets making it affordably fixable. It would drive me nuts having noise from the power steering and the hood popper working though. 🙂
Got a 2001 Honda Accord. 280K miles. Like a Tonka Toy to work on. Looks like crap. Runs like a top.
My 1987 Civic wagon daily driver just crossed 250k miles, original everything. It still runs like it did when new, and looks the part as well.
@@GeneralSulla I had a 2001 Honda Stream (Civic derivative) and would still have it now if the auto box hadn't failed around 80K. All of the electrics still worked, none of the switches etc broke, seats held together. But Hondas aren't immortal. The auto box problem was subject to a recall in the early 2000s and apparently not fixed on the one I got used. It was too late when I found out. A remanufactured box was installed but then the torque converter gave up the ghost. Apart from that the only issue was that it was heavy on brake pads and rotors. No I didn't drive it in sport mode like an idiot 😉
@@GeneralSulla The accord is an "acquired taste", fantastic cars though!
You can thank the epa for changing that.
Please do not think we get tired of seeing the "basic" videos like tune ups, fluid exchanges, brake jobs and things like that. I always learn another new piece of information no matter how many of these videos you make. 😀 Also, any new updates on your truck upgrades?
Totally agree. For those driveway mechanics amongst us without access to lifts, the videos showing maintenance items under the bonnet (hood) and whilst the car is on the ground are very interesting learning experiences.
Perfect video to show how important BASIC maintenance is.
Agree
Ray I would like to thank you for using your turn signal due to cost of turn signal fluid these days some of us are to cheap to use them anymore 😊
It is such a joy seeing older rigs still getting used and maintained. A great video on the basic tune up. Isn't it amazing what new plugs and such can do for a car🙂
I wish you could still work on cars like that, so much easier to work on but that is why you are in business.
you dropped the plug with the closed up gap. That is probably why it was vastly different to the others.
Exactly what I was going to say. Also, he said he was going to keep them in order but the last one got put at the end (not the position it came from).
Probably a " comment generator "
Just like leaving the blue paper towels in the engine from the last video before he reinstalled the intake manifold 😅
@ricebike Or the "corner of doom" corner with the "door of death". 😂😂
Total tune up recommended plugs wires,coils,cap,etc.
Was just about to say the same thing lol
A clear timing cover let's you see the condition of the timing belt without disassembly. It is intact, USEFUL.
I want one for my '97 Prelude then.
@@chriskline3763 Unfortunately, while they make them for a couple of makes and models yours isn't one. But I did see where people modified the original and put a plex window in, that would be easy to do.
@repaid1317 thanks for the heads up.
Wish my ford ranger had a clear valve cover so I could of seen the timing chain and cassette before it blew up.
For those that don't know... the number 11 at the end of the spark plug part number stands for 1.1 mm, or .043 in gap.
OK I'll take your word for it.
I thought it meant that the spark went to 11. Which is one more than ten.
I was thinking Spinal Tap! Lol
Thx for the info!
Kinda of funny he pullout the old plug measure gap. I thought that should be about 40 . Lucky guess.
Good to know to what an old plug had eroded, but I still ensure the proper gap on new ones. I don't believe in "pre-gapped" sparkplugs.
Ah yes, the good old days when you could change plugs without removing the engine.
Honda V6's are also pretty easy to work as the intake sits within the bank so all 6 plugs are easily reachable without removing anything.
Dude, I have a 90's vehicle that requires you to remove/loosen the steering shaft to get at one. You also should remove the tire, unless you're skinny enough to squeeze into the wheel well. Engineers don't consider repairability all that much. They do some, but there's a very, very low limit to their consideration of that. Always been that way.
@@williameldridge9382 Was it a Renault?
29 thou was the one that dropped
@@basbass429 A Renault is a French car, if you have the internet you can do a search for it. Hope this helps.🤔
Great video, like to see that you didn’t have to remove half of the engine to get to the plugs. Would have liked to have seen what the power steering problem was.
Air in the lines, must have a leak.
The crimps in the hoses start letting go after 15 years or so, and the pump's seals usually start to weep about that time too. Not to mention there's one or two non-crimped hoses that age out and weep.
Very true, the heat takes it's toll on 'em.
It’s probably just low on fluid. It’ll whine and groan like that when it’s low.
I suspect that spark plugs are easy to service on most inline 4 cylinder engines.
Wow - an actual distributor and rotor 😮
I come from the days when new points, condenser, rotor, cap, plugs, wires, and air filter were the complete tuneup. My, how times have changed.
Fun in a wet climate, these things like it dry.
As long as the gasket is good, it's in Floriduh. About to get 7" of rain tomorrow. @@jochenstacker7448
Thank you, Ray. You just helped me diagnose a 1990 Honda.
I use wooden clothes pins and put numbers on them one through eight and they fit nicely on the spark plug wire. Keep everything in order.
And I bet your pretty handy on laundry day also...
And a four cylinder could put Ray into 40 minutes of confusion and to desperately reach out to us for urgent assistance...
That's a red Mallory series distributer cap...problem solved.
We didn't get a bore-us-scope inspection either😡
My laundry skills are ok, in my young military days I had to learn to do laundry, iron, and keep the kit looking tiptop.
Naughty! Naughty! Always start the thread by hand and not the electric wrench.
I had a 2000 civic with same engine, loved that car. Simple to fix everything.
Routine maintenance can solve quite a bit. Firing order is 1342. Rotation, i never Looked. The gaps on THOSE plugs look too wide.
Those motors are as bulletproof as they come. Routine maintenance and the skies the limit on miles.
Ray the mattress is still there haha
Love cars like that….. 200k but runs sweet! They are priceless….
Nice fix. Old Hondas run forever if you take a little care with them
the old Hondas often run forever even when you don't take care of them- and this is a perfect example of non-care.
@@WilliamLaakkonen Amen. I have a Vette for my weekend car and a 2017 Civic for a daily driver
I approve this message. My 2001 Honda Accord, well maintained, has 280K+ miles and looks like crap, but runs like a top. A daily driver.
These older Hondas work quite well. I have a 2000 Accord with 228,000 miles. Partially restoring it with Honda parts (removing the aftermarket Chinese garbage parts) Other than needing some fresh paint on the hood, roof and trunk lid, it’s a great drive.
my 200 civic ex is literally falling apart but I can still hit the key and fires up first time even with a bad TQ it runs and drive.
Lol my accord has 233k and I have the same problem with the paint not to mention rust. It's getting harder to find OEM parts now.
That's an oldie but goodie there. You can actually get to the plugs. still has cap and rotor. Nice job getting it straight.
It must have been a joy to work on a car you didn't have to take an intake manifold off to change the spark plugs.
RUclips gave me a Honda dealership service commercial while watching this 😂. thanks for another great video!
I love this episode of Ray , it reminds me of a father teaching his sons many years ago . Great diagnosis and repair next step fix the steering noise .
Nice to see good ole metal valve covers once in a while 😅
I don’t think I have ever taken off a distributor cap and not seen erosion on the surfaces it came with the technology 👍🇬🇧🤓
It's fun watching you work on the old stuff. Watching you and Jimmy, Making it work completes my RUclips day.
I've got a 98 with 500,000 miles and climbing also runs very good, mine is a manual though lol
Now this motor is easy to maintain..
Friend of mine asked me if I could help him with a misfire on his Toyota Echo. Real cute little car with a tiny 4cyl engine.
Sure 'nuff, misfire on cylinder 3, and it went to 2 when the coil pack was swapped.
Figured, needed new plugs, so pulled them out - the gap was so large the gapper didn't have a big enough blade.
Asked him when he last had the plugs changed (with the car at 199,000 miles). "Uhh, you have to change those?"
Turned out the car had tried so hard to get spark cross those gaps that it basically blew out the one coil pack.
His other three were still good, and no doubt were very happy to have properly gapped plugs again.
Didn't like dropping the plugs into the hole. that's why the socket has a rubber sleeve to hold the plug and to start the screw it in. You could have cross treated the plug hole the way you used the power wernch.
Yeah, thread by hand for the first few turns to be sure... I stay away from power tools in that area though
Ya I’m suprised he did that, and he only checked the 1 new spark plug gap. I would have checked them all.
Video was good! I decided I’m going to keep my 2019 Toyota Tacoma and 2016 Honda Civic till the wheels fall off so I’m watching random repair videos to learn the engine
Fun Fact: You can reset the oil life indicator on the cluster by inserting the key into the small vertical slot next to it. Sell em an oil change too. ;)
Spark plugs have a seal between the metal and the porcelain. If you see a brown ring around the joint, which these plugs have, that seal is blown. That's reason enough to replace the plugs even if they look fine otherwise.
Spark plugs have a "Powder Filling" that helps provide a gas tight seal between the insulator and metal shell. NGK has a cut away if you look for it you will find it.
Ray has grown up now. Now he does Real Clicks with a Torque Wrench!
Another fine video. Good way to start the day. Have a good one Ray!
👏👏 congratulations Ray completed replacement of four plugs and wires 👏👏
Dave's not here man! LOL I caught that one.
Great vid as always. Thx
nice simple repair well done
Anyone else remember when we used to “recondition” spark plugs? Used a small fixture, made by I think AC delco, connected to shop air. The bottom end of the plug was hit with a few blasts of a fine abrasive to clean the fouling, regap, and you were good for another 10K.
Still have that tool
Many times especially on my 2-stroke motorcycle and chainsaw plugs. Back in them days, a set of plugs would foul up in about 5000 miles, less on the 2-strokes.
JCWhitney had the sand blast sand for the cleaner.
Do you ever use dielectric grease on the distributor connections?
That would possibly cause extra resistance. Putting plug end , the grease is supposed to only touch the metal bottom outside of the plug reducing the chance of carbon tracking(electricity leaking) and makes getting the wires off, the next possible time easier, you try not to get too much grease that would touch the electrical connection. Dielectric grease is a non-conducting grease.
@@Thestargazer56 The other place I've used dielectric grease was for the wire to the horn, which was gathering a lot of corrosion causing the horn to fail.
Keep the moisture out, prevent the corrosion!
"Slide it in and it feels pretty good on the shaft"
Gigity...
i like your choice of words😂😂😂😂
Nice job Ray , you probably know now why the plug had smaller gap LOL
No need to check the gap on four new plugs when the first one you check is ok. The factory never makes mistakes gapping new plugs.
Noticed that too!!
"feels pretty good on the shaft!"😂
B16,B18 and K20 series are brilliant engines and looked after with regular service will last a very long time.
That’s D series though 🤷♂️
That was a D16Y7 (non Vtec)
Their not that bright , but thems some purdy gud engines
wit the proper mod's a d16 can do pretty good. I will stik with my y8 till it shits the bed.@@bullbutter9699
Wife drove one of our Accords with bad plug and killed the upstream oxygen sensor. Same symptoms of rough run and flashing money light.
Those almost certainly were the OEM plugs, judging from their condition. As the great Eric O might say, "there's your problem, lady!" :-P
My sister's both trashed their 2000 civics, I enjoyed those cars. Mpg was awesome and safe, protected one my sister from head on collision with a Durango.
When I saw the sparks on the coils, I thought you were going to recommend new coils.
It’s very informative to pull the wires off and look for sparks, but I’ve had several very bad experiences doing that.
Ray could sell the old cap to a museum.
What an awesome video thanks for sharing it with us see you on the next one
I wish all repairs were that easy. Lol. Took a trans fluid shower today diagnosing a cooler leak. Turned out that as I was cleaning the residual fluid up to get a better look, the aluminum line broke off as soon as I touched it, WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. 😩😂😂
What about the power steering?
very entertaining yet informative. thanks
Great video thanks ray!
RAINMAN WRAP INSULATED COPPER WIRE AROUND THE SCREWDRIVER. FROM THE HANDLE TO THE TIP. THEN PUT THE WIRE ENDS ON A 12 VOLT BATTERY. JUST A SHORT TIME. IT WILL BE MAGNITIZED.
Distributor ,nostalgic
Yes, I looked back, and I did watch part 5. You are correct you did finish the engine. I guess I was just looking towards the engine being installed and tested. Keep up the good work.
2000 Hona Civic: considered the best car ever (by me anyway)
I love the self ejection coli when you bumped the key...lol
Great job Ray !
Good morning Ray. The way that engine sounds like it’s needs some Ray’s magic touch. Ray wins at the end.
feels pretty good on the shaft
Memory lane. I actually recognized the parts from ancient (1960s) history. Thanks!
Word of advice, the golden era of Honda´s had problems Distributor Rotor screws loosening up from centrifugal force and causing the car to stall or a no start due to the position of the rotor on the distributor shaft. Use Loc-tite
Good morning form Canada Ray! Have a great day!
It's worth the extra minute to double check the gap on all the new plugs. I have found the factory gaps to be off.
thankyou Ray,,I thoroughly enjoyed this one,,👌👌
When I replaced the oem factory plug wire one piece wire and routing rack junk on the 5.7L hemi ‘04 ram 1500 with Taylor wires the wires came numbered. Nice touch.
Nothing like having fun while working
Great job .
Nice an simple. Good easy job close to end of day.
Really a change but a good change to see the old wires & cap
Hello from Indiana, for the algorithm. Have a beautiful day
The excessive gap was making the leaking wires arc worse. A set of plugs would have fooled the ordinary human by improving the misfire. The arc under the cap you detected when the plug wire was removed confirmed the it was time for the cap and rotor to be replaced as well. We routinely replaced the set of components but this time it was confirmed that all parts had come to the end of their service life.
Plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I would just replace all of them just because..
Affirmative
Mattress is still on the hill ? Maybe a new mattress ? Ray, I love your analytic analysis. I am also subscribed to the "WIFE UNIT ". Congrats on the one year anniversary.
Well good morning Ray 🌄 looks like it's time for a engine flush.
That was a great diag. and pretty easy tune up considering todays autos.
had this exact car. great car easy to work on. plug wires can bleed especially cheap autolite ones. obvious it is distributor fed so that can be a point. the main relay on the passenger side behind glove box are also prone to solder joint cracks.
Great job ray!!!
the plug that measured .022, was likely the plug you dropped. It closed the gap when it hit the floor.
Great job 👏
It's a nice bonus that you have a bridge with a steep grade right by your shop. The ultimate tool to make a misfire show itself. I love those old Hondas. There were so many up here in the Northeast that rotted out and were sent to the scrap heap with perfect engines and transmissions. What a shame.
I had a 96 civic with the d16. Great car. MSD ignition was the best thing i ever did to that car.
Lol last few seconds when you said “Dave not here man!” I kid you not, I said the same thing out loud! Great minds think alike.
I had a 2000 manual for several years, was a great car! Actually miss it!
Nice. Hello from Capetown 🇿🇦👌💯🇺🇲🇺🇲
Nice simple tune up for a change. Love the loose radio and noisy PS!
You forgot the "Beuuu" when shutting off the engine at the end. 😆
A video such as this should be required viewing for teenagers/twentysomethings who are learning how to work on cars. 😉
Memory's, did the same thing with a jeep. 13 to 19.5 mpg. Put in the right plugs and new wires and cap/ roter
Nothing beats copper plugs for hot spark. Yes they need to be changed more often. A lot more often but they do perform much better during their short lifespan. If it's easy to change plugs copper is always a good choice.
They are copper core not copper tipped. ... The tips are made of another metal, Iridium platinum steel. But here the other twist, most are resistive too about 5000 ohms
I have not done one of those for at least ten years they were easy as to fix.
lol! I love the comment “Dave’s not here!” reference. That’s totally old school Cheech and Chong!
One of the best cars made love the Honda Civic's from the 90s/beginning 2000.
I did exactly the same job on my Mom's Civic (plus an oil change). I think it took me longer in line at the parts store than it took to do this easy job.
Personally, I don't care for Hondas. They just don't fit me, or my style of driving.
However, that doesn't mean Hondas are not GREAT cars. I actually recommend Hondas for anyone on a budget, or are learning to drive, and take care of a car.
This car you just did is PERFECT for first time owners, or owners on a budget. You can get parts anywhere, and the car is not real fussy about exact OEM parts like my VWs are.
