Simple and informative video, it has already helped me by getting my mind on the right path.
Very good information but it makes it look much easier than it is with the back one. Also very important to blow dirt off around the spark plug BEFORE removing them. Also not a good idea to pull on the spark plug wires if you want to reuse them. But thanks anyway !
before you take out the old plugs blow out any dirt or junk around the old spark plugs than take them out
why there is no dirt that will fall in and if it did it would be burned up in the cylinders ! LOL
Nice work man my car didn’t start after changing the spark plugs then saw your video realize I had the cables wrong once connected the cables number wise it’s was good to go.
Nice diagnosing and work! Thank you for watching!
Greetings thanks awesome video you save me a lot of money much success to you and your family thank you
So glad to hear! Thanks for watching Michael!
Very nice!
Thanks for watching!
Another reason to make sure you are doing it on a cold engine is that things expand when they are hot, if you try and take them out when it is hot they could cross thread and get stuck. You could find yourself in trouble then.
Mines are seized
I had one that sized, it took a lot of patience and a lot of work but eventually, I was able to get it out by taking it out a tiny bit and putting it back in a little bit and going out and in and out and in, until I was able to work it all the way out. I used some liquid wrench on it too and after getting it partway out sprayed it again and let it sit overnight. You may end of having to get it towed to a shop though if you can't get them out safely yourself.
how dumb you cant work on a hot motor unless you want to get burned so your comment is usless
Sooo important to remember which cylinder each lead goes!!!
do one at a time
Thank you
Thank you, I’m on it 👌🏾👍🏾😁
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
👊👊
Get er done kaniesha
My ratchet dosent have a swivel, I never have done this but I’m about to try. Do I need a ratchet with a swivel to do it?
? On the rear plugs is the removal the same on a 1997 model, I just got one & working nights I have not had a really good look at it but I can tell they need changed .. thanks
if you look at the coil pack and it is numbered for the spark plug boots if we follow the boots individually to the spark plug doesn't that match up so that way we don't have to confuse the spark plug placement?
Teresa well my original spark plug wires had the numbers but my new set from advanced auto car quest didn’t have them…. So I think it depends on brand..
Thank you for taking your time to do this. Is this the same as a 2010?
Very similar if not the same. Thanks for watching!
If we change the cables and Spark plug do we have to change the Engine Ignition Coil Packs too ?
No. I would only change the coil packs if there was a problem. Thanks for watching!
Have question , did u take off anything to get into back area better? There that vent were ur windshield washer connected to, bcz the person that work on my car said it was to hard to access it without it off.. mine 01 and ur newer model.. I tried getting my hands back there it very tight spot I’m lady. Now it makes wonder if they put the wrong SP wires on wrong in back, what’s signs u would have to have them on wrong?
I have one more my PCV it back behind there too and person work in it said it was wrong one but instead of letting me go get right part, they rig it some how can that cause
Start up or stalling issues?? Thanks for ur help.. nice videos by way I wish u did more on DGC…. I love learning..
Remove the wiper housing and sump assm and drains.... all the room to work....make sure when reassembling to make sure drains are tight. If water leaks out while driving it falls on the belt and you will lose power steering. Also great for accessing front o2 sensor......
Yep, know what not to do now 👍😉
Nice! Thanks for watching!
I brought my van into a mechanic. Told them the engine starts rough.. they said it needs new sparkplugs which they fixed. Although they didnt put on new spark plug wires? It still has the old ones.. and the engine still starts kind of rough. Is that because the old wires?
Odd they didn't replace the wires given how easy it is to do. I would replace the plug wires. Thanks for watching John!
Yea that’s strange, that should’ve been automatically unless u were changing them more frequently… anymore u really have to watch out who u works on ur car.. I’ve learned hard ways been taken bcz I’m lady.. I try research or learn from others…
Did u get plugs replaced?
What type of spark plugs did you use? The part # in my owners manual says to use laser platinum. However every auto parts store says they are the wrong ones.
The ones in the description. Thanks for watching!
my man.....
Take the windshield sump off, much easier to change the rear plugs....worth the trouble.
It wasn't bad tbh! Thanks for watching Denise!
My van needs this done to it but im so afraid to mess it up, the back ones I cannot see at all and ive never done it before. Mechanic wants 300$..
It's not too bad there is plenty of room back there. Thanks for watching!
Kenneth, I have dodge 01 and same here only had it done one time and the person had take off the vent thing above to get better access.. it looks like he didn’t here , but maybe that year model they made better access.. I don’t even see PS reservoir on the ignition coil like mine it sits on top of my coil.. I hope u got ur done it not hard if u have tools and get behind. Idk why they made these vans so hard to get anything.. lol
"Head"ache lol
I thought you weren't supposed to use anti seize on spark plugs
You are. Thanks for watching!
You’re totally correct, you aren’t supposed to!
You aren’t supposed to use it on any of the modern spark plugs that have a silver plated look to them…only on the older black spark plugs. Spark plugs from companies like NGK, Denso, Bosche, and so on, all say so right in their instructions. It’s because these modern day spark plugs come already pre-coated when you purchase them, in such a way that replaces the need for anti-seize.
Using anti-seize is unnecessary & can be completely detrimental. Using anti-seize increases the torque by like 20%..and inexperienced or DIY spark plug changers, who don’t know how to torque accordingly for this, can very easily strip the threads on their plugs. This can lead to costly engine repairs. Plus, the anti-seize can also make the plugs not fire properly.
It’s irresponsible of people making RUclips videos aimed at DIYers, to not go into detail about this & explain the cons of using anti-seize, as well as explain the way to properly Torque if one chooses to use it anyway.
My spark plugs won't budge
Try spraying a bit of penetrating fluid down the spark plug well. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros is that like wd-40?
You can do it, put your baco into it
No anti seize
That's what I thought too
As soon as you remove a spark plug then you should replace it with a new one. If you don't, there may be potential for a foreign object to fall into the spark plug hole. Also replace the spark plug wire as you go, it would be a lot easier. Not sure why you are using a method that may expose replacement things in a wrong sequence.
