    Couple things missing from this video. First, I would apply dielectric grease to the spark plug boot/coil pack and second, I would apply dielectric grease to connector for coil pack so it makes it easier to remove next time. Also, I wouldn't drop the spark plug down the hole, that may affect the gap and may need to be regapped. Use a piece of fuel line or hose to get spark plug started by hand

    • @KJs_Garage
      @KJs_Garage  4 года назад +5

      Quality of gas could be a factor, or your car might have an oil consumption issue? Disconnect the intake at the throttle body and look at how dirty it is. If there's excess oil there, you have a blow-by problem. If it's clean, then just make sure you're using high quality gasoline, and I don't mean 93 octane, I mean just a good brand.
      Also bear in mind that I run my car for 8 hours as a time, which is healthier for motors overall. If you only do short trips, you will see more wear on parts because it spends more time heating up to operating temperature, where the most damage is done to a motor

    Always degrease and wipe the dirt/grime off around any opening that leads to engine, tranny, etc. Also, I would not drop the spark plug in like that if the drop is deep like that, if it lands off center, the impact could change the gap and even damage the plug.

      Check the sockets you're using with the new spark plugs and ensure that they are long enough to reach. Then try different size sockets until one fits and you can pull them out

    • @JirmaVerse
      @JirmaVerse 4 года назад +1

      I’m using denso iridium spark plugs that I purchased from the dealer. I’m assuming that different spark plug manufacturers use different sizes for their spark plugs. 9/16 didn’t work for me either. I’m using a 14 mm.

    • @jidmoonh
      @jidmoonh 4 года назад +1

      Either socket should work since they are very close in size - less than 1/64" difference. However, I found that some 9/16" can be less thin-walled than others, so the 14mm is preferred. Thicker-walled sockets will bind on the spark-plug-tube walls and resist going deeper and may even get stuck in the tube - this tube seems to have a slight taper. Not having a 14mm deep-socket, I ended up grinding off ~0.5mm from the outside wall of one of my 9/16" sockets, about 1/2" up from the bottom. It solved the issue, and saved me the long drive to town and back!!

    I have started this job at least 5 times and failed every time lol. I have purchased at least 6 different sockets for the spark plug. The plugs I already had were not deep enough for the spark plug( the end of the plug would stick through the square end that the ratchet should attach into) I bought one long enough but it was too wide to fit into the spark plug well. I bought I thinner version but was hitting something down in the well and would not make it around the spark plug. It seems like I need a super thin (exterior diameter) socket to pull the plug out. Has anyone had this issue?!

    "Drop the spark plug into the hole." The horror, the horror. Rather, insert the new spark plug into a piece of 1/4 inch fuel line and gently lower it into the spark plug hole. Next, rotate the fuel line with the attached spark plug clockwise to thread the plug into the hole. Or better yet, purchase a magnetic spark plug socket.
