Mechanics that make these videos make the world a better place. Ive saved THOUSANDS of dollars fixing things on my car that seemed to complicated just by watching videos like this. Thankfully my misfire is in the front. (cylinder 2)
@@FixItPhillip youre the best man, no cuts on important parts, most are like, "gonna disconnect some wiring harnesses and vacuum lines" then it cuts and magically the manifold is off. You actually showed where they are so i dont miss anything and end up snapping a wire or hose yanking it off.
Have 2005 Murano with 341,000klm on the clock. Have the car booked in to the mechanic to change a coil pack. This will be the 3rd in the last 18 months. Watching this video is VERY informative but will leave the job to the the mechanic. Thanks Phillip
This video saved me a bunch of time. I just forgot to put in new spark plugs. And only replaced the coil.. but my engine was misfiring so badly that it would shake the dashboard while driving. after I replaced the coil, it seemed to run fine.
I agree, what MORON designs these kinds of cars. I took the cover off and thought WTF!!! You have to remove an intake just to replace plugs and coil wire!?! I'm not doing that. I just wanted to do simple maintenance on my gf car. Now it's got to go to a freaking mechanic! Nissan you get a -10 for design!
@@UnknownUser-dr4gw my wife's Toyota Camry literally has 4 in a row right across the top. The only hard part was the connector being a B to remove. But if I only have a connector complain about, I'm pretty damn happy.
You got my sub off this video. Thank you. I have a 2007 Nissan Murano w/139k miles throwing Cyl1 fault (P0301) Definite kicking on acceleration. It started about 70 milies after getting new gas, but the gas was from a reputable place. So, I would bet these cyl 1,3,5 plugs have never been changed under the intake. Ordered 6 plugs and 3 new ignition coils for the rear, and an intake gasket. This video is perfect. Straight to the point, no music, etc. It would be cool to have a tool list (extension size, socket size etc.) in your notes, but I probably need to watch it 4 times anyway. i'll try to remember to come back and edit this with tool list when I am done. Thanks again.
He made this P.I.T.A. job look easier than the mechanic described. That's awesome, thank you so much for your video and helping me save me about $575.00 labor.👍😊😁
He does make it look easy, but it isn't. It's painful considering spark plugs should be changed pretty regularly. Honestly almost 600 labour for this is a little steep, but I'm not even that surprised either. Did you end up replacing them yourself?
Have had to do this job for a few of these coil packs and this video has walked me thru each time and it gets easier each time I do the job. Thank you for your video!
Outstanding video. Thank you very much. I have watched a number of videos about spark plugs and ignition coils; and yours is one of the best. You appear to be a great automobile mechanic. Keep the good work kind Sir.
You are awesome the way you walked us through step by step from the beginning to the end. This video was very informative on how to check and change spark plugs. Thanks you. Why pay over $350 when you can do it yourself fir something that want really take an hour at the most to do
Tnks for your time and effort to make dis video because these mechanics just rip off people big times. Am going to buy myself some tools from harbor freight and do it for myself. U made it look very simple and easy to understand. Tnks for sharing
About to have to do this tomorrow on the exact same 3rd cylinder. Hope it fixes the problem. Just bought car for dirt cheap and I hope this is the only problem. The reader said it’s the only problem. But we will see. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Bro! I wasn’t even going to try to attempt it. But I kept my phone under the hood with me and paused it as you went along. The only trouble I had was that damn connector on the back left of the intake. Shredded my wrist after multiple times trying to get it off. It’s an 06 and the plugs obviously had never been changed. I’d imagine most of these engines go with only the front 3 getting replaced. Thanks again!
i had the same problem but i took off the wiper cap and there is better room to work and loosen all the crazy rear wiring and hoses, thnks for de video
Appreciate your video, simple and to the point. 160K on my 06 Murano and the station owner asked if I wanted to replace the coil packs while the IM was off for plug replacements and I said no..... Luckily my error P0304 which is cyl. #4 front middle which I'm going to swap with #1 or #6 tomorrow. Hoping it is that as I was getting some bucking while driving and though the trans was gone.
You Rock I have the same problem and thanks to your video I fixed it the first time . I especially liked how distilled the video was and how you would tell us what size sockets to use Thanks again I subscribed!!
The best part is if you can do this to a Nissan Murano, then you are able to do the same thing for a Nissan Maxima, V6 Altima, Quest , 05-11 Pathfinder 4.0, it's a similar process for any VQ 3.5 front wheel drive vehicle.
I just had Number 5 go this morning and I am so glad to see this video. I'm going to need to replace the vehicle speed sensor in the transmission too. I guess I know how I'm spending my holiday weekend.
What a great process to find the issue! Great mechanic. I have always owed American cars. Just got this car from my daughter. Insane amount work for the plugs and coil. It has the oil cooler leak so that’s the first issue to take care of. My 97 Blazer has 452k so I spend time under hood but it’s nothing like Japanese…I thought they were supposed to be easy to work with on. Seems like everything has coolant lines running to it. The oil cooler has lines and I get that but the throttle body?? That’s weird.
Nice video. I'm in the process of replacing those rear plugs and coil packs on my '07. Was not going to attempt it but with shop charging 100's of dollars I decided to give it a try. One problem I ran into was the removal of those two rear 12 mm bracket bolts. I was afraid I would round out the heads with my 3/8" drive 12-point socket so I bought a 6-pointer. I could not get enough leverage on the closest bolt but I was able to get the other with the socket handle sticking almost straight up. Next plan was to get a shallow 6-point 1/2" drive socket which I did. With that and the larger handled 1/2" drive ratchet I was finally able to put enough foot pounds on it to break it loose. It was very difficult however as there is not much wiggle room in that area. I moved some hose to get more room.
There is a tube in the way which attached to the back wall, by detaching the tube from the clip and tying the tube to the block, that give you more room to work on those two bolts, it didn't take long to remove those two bolts afterwards.
Great video. I wish I had seen this first. #3 went out so I looked up a video specifically for that but wanted to replace 1-3-5 since they are located in the back. Ended up replacing 1-3 because I could not get to 5 the way described in those videos.
@@jbriseno2 put phone camera and video it over #5 so you can see what to expect. Need small socket wrench or flexible extension bar and 10 mm socket. It's tight. Take your time. Good luck
hi Phillip, great video as always, enjoyed them all so far, have just retired from a lifetime of repairing factory machinery, nice to watch someone else getting their hands dirty, looking forward to the next one, ..... Col from England
That was a good one; very well explained , you made it look very easy; I liked it when you changed the coils , from the back to the front so it's easy to check , wish one is working, thanks for the video; it helps at lot ;
Phillip, is a ton easier to get at back bolts if you remove the cowling. It only takes a few minutes to remove. Hate working blind. Thanks for good video.
In my experience, mechanics don't bother to diagnose. They just keep replacing parts until either the customer runs out of money or they fix the problem, whichever comes first.
Number 5 coil pack goes out first on a lot of cars and can be replaced without removing the intake manifold. Number 4 coil pack just went bad two days ago. I have a 350z and a Murano and the coil packs are always the failed part. If your 3.5 Nissan is over 12 years old, you can expect your coil packs and radiator fans to fail very soon. The camshaft position sensors will also leak and fail too.
I agree that's a good precaution, but at $75 each, that's a spendy way to go. Maybe just change out the 3 back ones. If one goes on the front, it's just a 5 minute fix.
There are 2 wire brackets on the back of the intake that arent shown in any video ive seen. I thought one has a hose but it was connector cable held by a bracket. Then there is another holding that tinfoil cable. Maybe you dont need to screw em back on but it was tough getting them off... Tomorrow we'll decide..
Alot was left out of this video.... There are 3 bolts, not two, on the backside of the intake manifold. The two that at close together, and a third (you can see the bolt hole at 21:15) below the right angle vacuum fitting that goes into the manifold. There is also a electrical harness that is also bolted to the back of the manifold, a ROYAL pain in the ass to get to. These two things alone will add at least 30 minutes to the job, if not more, assuming you have a good tool set.
Is it critical that the two back bolts go back in ? Because that was effn hard to get off lol I don’t want to have to go back in later on in the future to remove those two bolts 😂
Guys... With coil packs, when one goes its just a matter of time before they all fail. Don't change one. Just change the entire set. They all wear/fail at similar rates/times. I picked up a full set of 6 NGK platinum plugs and 6 coil packs for $100. Not expensive, so just do them all (more so the coil packs)
a 13yo SUV...might as well changed plugs, back ones especially and if high mileage engine and fact of having to remove plenum to get to back row of coils & plugs should just change out the coil packs too if planning to get another 50K miles out of it. How long before those old coil packs give out and then gotta disturb the plenum (new gasket too?) again? Otherwise, good video!

I recommend putting dielectric grease on the coil boots to prevent them from sticking to the plugs and breaking like that one did when removed!

You can take 5 out without disassembling manifold.
Yes I believe so
I ended up changed all of the because I also had oil in 1 and 6.
