Excellent. Very helpful with Torque settings and tools and spark plug gap, etc. Couldn't ask for better. Thanks for putting out good clear and concise content.
So glad you found it helpful! I try to do the same content quality for all of my videos unless I’m unable to find the proper specs, which does happen sometimes on older vehicles.
I wish I could record that but it’s super difficult to get a camera in that location. All you’d see is my hands. I have some helpful tips on how to do the rear ones but it just wouldn’t make a good video. They are super similar to the front though!
@MCFIXIT Based upon what you Did show, I was able to get the back done too! I wish I could post a pic of the red coil packs. They look good on the engine, so thanks! 🫡
Great video! Excellent help! Thanks for making this video. Most of Hondas V6s are set up fairly the same, so this works for a few different applications! Keep up the great work!
It's the rear spark plugs that people actually need help with. For starters, how do you remove those doubled black clip-ons that are in the way of hand positioning?
@@igl9273 i couldn't find anything on how to get rid of those black things. It looks so simple to take them apart, but I simply can't figure out how to do it. So of course I'm just working around them, jamming my wrist up against them. On Monday I'm planning on buying the VCM Tuner II. It is supposed to permanently disable the VCM activation. I hope that will take care of the spark plug fouling and the coil dying. It's $140 but I expect it'll be more than worth it.
Shooting a video of the back is nearly impossible. I tried it on my Ridgeline (same engine) and it didn't come out well. This is even a tighter location which makes it even more complicated.
You don't remove the strip on top of the engine. The spark plugs are just behind them. Almost impossible to see but you can easily reach a hand in and feel them. They are a pain but definitely reachable without taking anything else apart.
Definitely an option! I’ve done that many times before. Service manual does not call for it (probably too many issues with people doing it wrong or putting too much on). Thanks for the comment and for watching
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. The back ones were harder. One of the sides was the most difficult, I believe it the was the left side. A little maneuvering and you can do it. There’s also a hose on the top that can be removed for easier access on one of the spark plugs.
Yes, I've done that in the past, but Honda does not recommend that. I know it can mess up torque specs. But it does make it easier if you live in the north in the rust belt. Thanks for noticing the wrist band :D
Thank you for explaining. My don't have problems to start but the needle start dancing at 1500 rpm and the car is kind of jerking? What do you think the problem is?
That can be caused by a lot of issues. I’d first check to see if there are any codes it’s popping up with a scan tool (or do a place that will do it for free). Then depending on that, fix any issues. If none, I’d check for leaks in vacuum hoses. How old/miles are your spark plugs? Coil packs? Have you cleaned the throttle body & I think they have a mass air flow that can be cleaned? Also how many miles does it have? I haven’t had this vehicle in about 2 years and I’m trying to remember all of its components that could cause this.

I have never changed spark plugs, but thanks to your video it was easy - especially with the little tips you gave about how to handle tight angles.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Rear plugs
That's what I need a video about.
(Edit) but based on this video, I got-r-done! So thanks!

@MCFIXIT Based upon what you Did show, I was able to get the back done too! I wish I could post a pic of the red coil packs. They look good on the engine, so thanks! 🫡
I’m sure they do! I’ve thought about doing a colored coil packs but I just normally get the normal black ones.
Nice you had listed all tools you need.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video! Excellent help! Thanks for making this video. Most of Hondas V6s are set up fairly the same, so this works for a few different applications! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Yes, the Honda Ridgeline is very similar. I’ve got a video of my 2006 on my channel.

Agree. Let me know if you find a good video, please. Thanks

Please let me know how the VCM Tuner II works. I heard about those before but not used them.

Use anti seize on spark plug threads and dielecteic grease on plug covers.
Definitely an option! I’ve done that many times before. Service manual does not call for it (probably too many issues with people doing it wrong or putting too much on). Thanks for the comment and for watching
Brother, thanks
You are welcome!
Great video. How hard were the back ones to do? I know its hard to show on the camera due to the angle.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. The back ones were harder. One of the sides was the most difficult, I believe it the was the left side. A little maneuvering and you can do it. There’s also a hose on the top that can be removed for easier access on one of the spark plugs.
@@MCFIXIT What is that hose for? If I just loosen the nut and move the hose out of the way, will any other fluid spray or leak out?
Gets to the tools needed ..
Me: I’m out !
That’s why I like to put them up front so everyone knows what they are getting into on my videos. Hope you can still get it fixed
Like your wrist band, brother! Be good to use antiseize on spark plug threads to keep from stripping out threads in heads.
Yes, I've done that in the past, but Honda does not recommend that. I know it can mess up torque specs. But it does make it easier if you live in the north in the rust belt. Thanks for noticing the wrist band :D

Do you know the cylinder firing order? Are the 3 in the back number 1, 3, 5 or 1,2,3?
Sorry, I don’t. This was on my sister in laws vehicle. I’m not that familiar with this vehicles cylinder firing order.
The back are 1,2,3 left to right
Front is 4,5,6 left to right
@@cwhip2432Thank you for confirming this!
Main problem for me was disconnecting wiring on rear cylinders.
Yes. They are tricky and I can’t film that area well
Every time he says “NKG”……. 🤦♂️
Yeah, words are hard. I try my best. Thanks for watching my video and commenting!
