Thank you very much. As someone without mechanical experience, removing the manifold seems like a colossal undertaking. Your video takes an intimidating task and lays it out in manageable steps for the whole process. It doesn't mean that it's a breeze; it took me several hours of meticulous work, scratched hands and pulled hamstrings, but I understood the steps and had the confidence. I successfully replaced the coils and spark plugs on my Mazda 2005 in 2019, and again in 2024 after the warranty on the coils expired. Each time I studied your video to prepare. Me and my Mazda thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video! Walked me right through every step of replacing coil packs and spark plugs on my 2004 MPV. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the video! Just inherited a 2004 MPV that was running horribly - watched your video and was inspired to take on the project. Turns out the PCV hose was toast - replaced that and coils/plugs/PCV valve - purrs like a kitten now! Couldn't have done it without your vid - cheers!
5 years later and people are still watching this or at least I did. Lol. It was a huge help in replacing all 6 coil packs and spark plugs. Only only took me 6 hours. Haha oh yea I forgot to mention my hamstrings are killing me too.
I want to say THANK YOU!!! I performed this task on my 2006 Mazda MPV after it developed a misfire on spark plug #2. I replaced all plugs and the #2 coil... After reassembly, the van is running really smooth, and it passed emissions!
OK...I am getting tired of this. I have used this video on 3 separate occasions for our 04 MPV. 180K and the damn thing just keeps running. So thank you....I think. Hard to justify something newer when maybe every 6 months or so the fix is less than $50. Truly amazing video, cannot thank you enough.
Thank you very much for this informative video. Gave me the confidence to do this myself. took 2 hours. the price of the parts was significantly less than what the shop charged me to replace a single coil. The rough idle completely gone and car running well.
Thank you for your video. I changed out all my ignition coils today. Only to find out I have both valve cover gasket leaking. Despite that, I was able to change out my spark plugs and coils because of your confidence to share. Thank you.
Great video for those of us the own one of these vans. Ours is paid off and im just trying to keep the wheels running on it. Ive replaced the spark plugs and packs twice already and it is a major pain so thank you for posting a good video on it im sure it will help a lot of others out there who are in the same situation.
I remember how mad I was replacing spark plugs on my 06 mpv, I went through hell removing that intake manifold! :) But I love the car, It's the best van I've ever had.
I've hardly done anything on a car before. Spent 5 trips to the auto store. I spent 10 hours total doing this, but was eventually successful. It all sucked (the worst part for me were the 4 small hoses behind/underneath the air intake hose) BUT I wouldn't have been able to do it without this video. Thanks!
The video showed me the job wasn't *SO* bad... and I actually re-referenced it during reassembly when I was confused about the connection of a couple of vacuum lines. Thanks!
Well, did some investigating and found 2 things. My coolant reservoir was completely empty. Filled and took for test drive and still no heat. Came home and looked at all the hoses for leaks. No leaks. So I look at the 2 big hoses going through the firewall and notice something that looks like a switch on one hose. I flip the switch (which is actually a petcock) and voila! I now have heat! I didn't notice the petcock during my uninstall/reinstall but it is right next to the back intake bracket. So I must have moved it when I was doing my work.So mystery solved! Thanks for all your help KB. You da man! :)One other thing... Chris Isaacs is me below so commenting by the same person. :)
watched this dozen times and finally did the work. This was a big help. Thank you. Very intimidating but not as bad as it looks. Had a misfire #3, mpv runs great again.
I've got a 04 MPV LX. Runs and drives great, reverse not so much. It sorta creeps backwards while on level ground but give it some beans and it revs up like it's in neutral. Thank You for posting this. I've got 4 different tires, I'm sure the plugs on the rear cylinders haven't been changed. Lots of little things that weren't done. Cabin air filters were completely clogged up. I'm losing coolant but thankfully not into the oil. That's diluted with fuel. 😋 Just more opportunities to learn new things to fix or replace.
So I just did the rear coils and it took about 3 hours with a break in the middle. I removed the throttle body so I wouldn't have to disconnect the coolant lines going to it. The only difficult thing I found was get access to the EGR valve bolds so used a 1/4 socket with a wobbly with a 1/4 extention through the break valve pipes with a second wobbly and adapter to a 1/2 ratchet. Pretty easy overall.
I dont know what to say than to thank you for all this ever since i watched ur spare tire removal. Thanks and God bless you. and please dnt stop making videos on MPV
Kill-O-Byte Great video Sir, many thanks for dedicating so much time to come up with this excellent and educative piece. I am picking up 2002 MPV, in very good condition mileage 69,000 and this is the first time I will be driving a Mazda MPV. Apart from changing the spark plugs and the coil which everyone says is the weakness of the Mazda MPV, is there anything else I should look out for? And what are the signs or indications that the spark plugs and coils needs to be charge or how often should it be changed. Kindly help Sir. My email is papaeli.gh@gmail.com. I am getting in touch with you from Ghana. Many thanks in advance.
Woelikplim Elikplimi Kill-O-Byte Please note correction of typo error in my previous post to you i.e. - ("...plugs and coils needs to be changed or how often should it be changed...") I will also be grateful if you share your personal review of the 2002 Mazda MPV with me since you know so much about the car. Many thanks and GOD bless you Sir.
+Woelikplim Elikplimi The MPV is a solid and reliable van overall. The PCV valve hose tends to split right around 70,000 miles. I have a video on it here: ruclips.net/video/eEQ5xUKx8LE/видео.html. Mazda sales an updated designed hose that is supposed to fix the issue. I would suggest changing the spark plugs and coils somewhere between 70,000 and 100,000 miles. Mine lasted 100,000 miles before the check engine light came on due to a coil going bad. The engine started running rough just before the light came on. Thanks and good luck with yours!
Tip: that piece at 18:00 on the top of the intake. Press down on the black plastic ring around the connector while pulling up and it will pop out every time.
@@robertmanning3922 Take a few pictures as you go along. Hooking hoses back up wasn't as intuitive as I thought and I had a couple wrong on first fire. As I recall, some pretty cramped space up agsinst the firewall and took patience.
So happy I found your video. I changed 4-6 yesterday but had no idea how to get to 1-3. I was going to try to do it myself this morning, but looks like I may need to wait for my husband so he can help. Quick question, does taking it apart like this make it easier to get the O2 sensor? We just replaced two of them but getting a misread from that one. Was thinking of checking the connection and wires if possible while changing plugs.
I'm so glad this video exists. Just got an 05 mpv. I know I can find someone to "pass" the inspection. But if I can get this free car to last me a few years, 142000 miles on it. I'll be stoked. I just don't wanna pay crazy money for something as simple as this...at least i hope it's simple. I should change the coils and plugs right?
Nice thorough video. Might also suggest resealing valve covers. My van at 80k miles is actually dripping oil on the exhaust. Also would it be easier to access those lower vacuum lines if I removed the throttle body?
That actually could be the other oil burning smell on my 04 MPV. Going to check it out later today. My trans fluid is toast and I plan to get it changed soon with a new filter. Love my minivan.
Thanks kill-o-byte. I followed your instructions step by step and was able to take it off. I bought my 2003 mazda mpv for 5,000 and had only 50,000 miles. I'm very disappointed with this van. Two weeks after purchase I noticed a leak where from oil pan gasket. Had that replaced...that was 160.00 dollars. Have had two batteries which I purchased at O'Riely...both went bad before warranty...never buy your battery from O'Riely...eventually bought one at Sears...so far so good. But, now the coils. Why so many problems with a van that has only 50,000 miles? I found out that though it has the Japanese name 'Mazda' they're manufactured here in the US...and I believe by Ford. That explains everything about the poor quality of the vehicle. I'll keep this piece of crap for another 50 or 70,000 miles then get rid of it before it nickel and dimes me to death...that's what American manufactured cars do...
Interesting how people have different experiences. Our van just hit 200K and is only now starting to give us problems. One of the best vehicles we have ever owned. (Contrast that to a KIA Sedona we just traded; 60 days in the shop in a 12 month period and just a hair over 50K on the clock.)
Thank you, Im planning to change my plugs and coils since Im currently having a misfire in cylinder 1. Hooefully will update once I complete the task at hand, maybe scheduling soon, stull needs to buy the parts and tools...🤭😂
Excellent video. It sure gave me a better idea on how to do the job on my 2004 Mazda MPV. I'm now subscribed to your channel. Just one suggestion is for you to have someone to hold the camera for you or use a tripod when possible and another thing will be to use more light specially when showing the back or hidden places. One less thing, the video was blurry when you tried to show how bad the old spark plugs ware or the Coils numbers, try to move things farther from camera to solve that problem.
Had a flashing CEL showing lean both banks. Replaced the intake hose then got p0301 with stuttering idle. Took off intake and found cylinders 1 and 3 spark plugs loose covered in combustion material. Cylinder 1 plug's electrode was broken and extended down onto little arm at end of plug. I'm changing all plugs to be safe!! I should of known something was wrong when I started getting a faint gas smell in vehicle.
Just finished this job yesterday and this video was a life saver! Van has 140K+ and first time doing plugs/coils. She's running MUCH smoother now. However, now I don't have any heat. Did a miss a hose somewhere? I did lose some coolant when I disconnected the hoses. Maybe I'm just low on coolant now? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I hope you still are helping, I had them replaced and it runs good but the light stopped blinking but is still on code stating lower O2 sensors needing replacing at this time, but on funny thing is I gave the shop 5 QT of oil and a new filter. When my wife and I picked the van up he stated we needed about another 1/2 to 1 qt of oil????, No mechanic has ever told me this before for any of my cars. (did they accidently spill my oil)? Then after driving a couple of days the Oil light has flickered come on and gone off is something loose, did you mess with anything having to do with the oil.???
you need a clock to show how long it took to get each point. He says it takes 4 hours with camera work at the end. This is why it's worth it for most people to pay somebody to do this, not a beginner's job. You have to disconnect everything the air manifold is connected to or blocks, then remove that part. Not like my old 1970 Valiant tune up.
very nice video. no way I can get away with doing this job in my apt complex. Very nice job though, quite verbose and painstaking in explanation. Shared this on my Facebook page. Much appreciated!
How is this different from the 2000 mpv? And Will it be easier if I jack up the body of the car and make the engine drop some to make more room back there?
I just replaced all the coils and plugs. Put it all back together and now it has a gas leak. Is there a way to find where it's at without tearing back into it? Any tips would be great thanks
Nice video, I did this job at 100k on 2003 Mazda, am still having problems with front coils (only replaced 1,2, &3) at a 130K my van seems to eat the #4 coil, i am thinking of checking the connector.
New kid here, anyone able to spare some details as to how complicated fixing sparkplugs/coils on a car like this one? Im trying to learn cars so I don't end up having to pay $1600+ for sparkplugs and coils, and I need my 456 coils done in my Mazda 05 mpv. Thing is idle shaking and I had it fixed previously a few months ago for the back coils. But... Idk. Reading the comments, this looks a little... More than difficult.
hello i have a question ...i just change the spark plug and the coil just in the back...but still shaking......can you tell me a idea what can be?.....
Hello guys, I have a 2005 mpv. the p0302 code just came up so I had a mechanic change out all my coils a and plugs, the engine light still shows the same code and we even turned off the light and it came back on again, it feels better than before but it still sputters at low rpms and at a stop where before it was happening at higher rpms, I keep thinking maybe the mechanic didn't connect something back correctly, but it's weird that the same exact code comes up p0302, is there something that he could have not put back correctly that would cause the same code to come up, I mean how come another cylinder doesn't show a missfire code only the one that was showing a missfire code in the first place, I would appreciate your input, thanks.
I bought some Ignition coil on amazon that fits Mazda 2003 mvp lx but how do i know which coil goes in which for the firing order of 123 in the back and 456 at the front?
Hi Kill-o-Bite, Love your videos, I recently was told that I should only use American spark plugs for this car because it's an American engine. Though I liked using Ngk. Did you need to clean vale cover baskets
+william delair The vacuum hose goes from the EGR valve to a sensor on the air box, which has another hose going to another sensor, also on the air box.
JUST hit 203,567miles on my 05 MPV... my ignition coil, and cylinder #2 are going bad... not excited about this- especially since I JUST found a crack in the plastic part of my radiator, just under the hose... I wanted to try to do this myself, buuuut, it looks like it's a TINY bit more than what I am able to accomplish on my own. *SUPER bummed out face*
is it accurate? i was going to get the pittsburg adapter because i seen somebody calibrating with it and a lot of people say its very accurate and only 30 bucks
Great video, I think I did everything right but when I connected the battery back the alarm went off and now the car won't start. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Sounds like a security issue which is triggered by removing the battery connections. There is a way to avoid this by using a tool consisting of a 9 V battery plugged into a power outlet. Look into it. Check owners manual.
I'm just amazed that it's the 21st century and consumers put up with a car design that has inaccessible spark plug holes and coils that are also buried on top of a hot engine -- it is to be expected that they won't last long! Do people really believe it's not possible to engineer a vehicle better than this? This is progress? There is no excuse IMO -- smart consumers should just say NO.
Well, ease of maintenance DOES factor into design engineers' engine designs but not ahead of performance, cost and other variables. Yes, I too wish that it wasn't horizontally-opposed so that I could access the plugs as easily as I can my other cars, but at the end of the day, this isn't really all that much extra work. I mean, there are some supercars that DEFINITELY put ease of maintenance on the back burner as some require the entire body to be removed from the frame to change the oil and half the motor to be disassembled if you want to also change the plugs. Xd
How are you replacing plugs over 100k it's impossible bcuz your spark plugs only last 50k and especially if there cheap bcuz I changed my spark plugs and mazda only puts Densos and not Motorcraft, when I got my van it had 89k I think but it definitely wasn't 100k miles, and your not supposed to use antiseize since your not supposed to tighten your spark plugs so tight, it's like your oil filter you don't tighten it so much as matter of fact you hand tighten your oil filter until you can't
Those are codes saying you have a lean condition (too much air/too little full) at idle. One code for each side of the engine(both banks) so it has to be something in common to both sides. I’d check for vacuum leaks, such as cracked hoses, but there are a lot of things that can cause those. Check out my video on replacing the pcv valve, it has some basic tips on troubleshooting a vacuum leak.
Thank you very much. As someone without mechanical experience, removing the manifold seems like a colossal undertaking. Your video takes an intimidating task and lays it out in manageable steps for the whole process. It doesn't mean that it's a breeze; it took me several hours of meticulous work, scratched hands and pulled hamstrings, but I understood the steps and had the confidence. I successfully replaced the coils and spark plugs on my Mazda 2005 in 2019, and again in 2024 after the warranty on the coils expired. Each time I studied your video to prepare. Me and my Mazda thank you!
I gotta do same Thang on my 2002 mazda the rear ones

So what happened?
big thanks kill-o-byte...just finished mine on a 2002 mpv...you sir are an excellent teacher!!!

William Brown Buy the plugs from a local auto parts store and do it in their parking lot... ;)
@@Killobyte They are not going to be happy about that. Look for auto store that has a closed down business near by.
I just got a 2004 mpv. Runs really quiet but sound lacking going. Haven't got the van scanned. How long did this hole complete change take?
Do you need to put a new gasket on?
Buen día, como se quita el sensor de temperatura? De Mazda mpv 2005 3.0
How is this different from the 2000 mpv? And Will it be easier if I jack up the body of the car and make the engine drop some to make more room back there?
I just replaced all the coils and plugs. Put it all back together and now it has a gas leak. Is there a way to find where it's at without tearing back into it? Any tips would be great thanks
Nice video, I did this job at 100k on 2003 Mazda, am still having problems with front coils (only replaced 1,2, &3) at a 130K my van seems to eat the #4 coil, i am thinking of checking the connector.
What did you find?
New kid here, anyone able to spare some details as to how complicated fixing sparkplugs/coils on a car like this one?
Im trying to learn cars so I don't end up having to pay $1600+ for sparkplugs and coils, and I need my 456 coils done in my Mazda 05 mpv.
Thing is idle shaking and I had it fixed previously a few months ago for the back coils.
But... Idk. Reading the comments, this looks a little... More than difficult.
You just saved me $180! Where should I send your check??
My, 2005,.Oil leaking from the between, Timing Cover & etc.block. how to fix it.
Any chance to get the front ( 4, 5, 6 ) coils out without removing the intake manifold?
There is no need to take off the intake manifold for the front 3. Just take the cover off :) It is the rear 3 that is probably a 3+ hour job.
is their a slight difference between the 2005 and 2002 setup ? mine is from 2002 so its older
Anyone been able to find information on replacing the knock sensor on a 2003 MPV?
thanks an thanks for the video on the spark plug change very helpful
What did you use to clean the intake and agr valve? How did you clean the intake and agr valve?
Holy moly... I guess I ain't never doing this myself.
Ive done 4 times since i had the car 4 or 5 years ... now i just dont have time to do it again ...so im giving the car away lol
Yeah, 237,000 miles on this one. Not doing this job myself and it's probably going to cost more than it's worth to have a shop do it.
hello i have a question ...i just change the spark plug and the coil just in the back...but still shaking......can you tell me a idea what can be?.....
my van is heating up i changed spark plugs. afterwards it heated up and losiing water changed thermostat also i dk y its still heating up can u help
saludos excelente video tengo un mazda mpv año 2003 motor 3.0 l gasolina ,,me gustaría en español seria el exito
What obd2 scanner would you say to get or prefer?
Hello guys, I have a 2005 mpv. the p0302 code just came up so I had a mechanic change out all my coils a and plugs, the engine light still shows the same code and we even turned off the light and it came back on again, it feels better than before but it still sputters at low rpms and at a stop where before it was happening at higher rpms, I keep thinking maybe the mechanic didn't connect something back correctly, but it's weird that the same exact code comes up p0302, is there something that he could have not put back correctly that would cause the same code to come up, I mean how come another cylinder doesn't show a missfire code only the one that was showing a missfire code in the first place, I would appreciate your input, thanks.
Look at replacing your idle air valve . you can do it yourself in about 5 min
Did you torque the spark plugs? What were the values?
Anyone know for sure the size of the spark plug socket?
I bought some Ignition coil on amazon that fits Mazda 2003 mvp lx but how do i know which coil goes in which for the firing order of 123 in the back and 456 at the front?
The coils are interchangeable and can go on any cylinder. Just make sure the wires running to them stay with the same cylinder.
Any videos on how to change out the EGR valve?
I have a 2006 and was wondering if the PVC pipe is an issue for the 06s as well?
+Bob G I'm not sure when they redesigned the hose.
Hi Kill-o-Bite,
Love your videos, I recently was told that I should only use American spark plugs for this car because it's an American engine. Though I liked using Ngk. Did you need to clean vale cover baskets
This engine was pretty clean. I did blow out and wipe off as much grim as I could before removing the intake.
+Kill-O-Byte Where did you buy your coils from because I may need a new set. Thanks for your help too!!!
How can i find out which cylinder is missing?
Hello ! A need to fin the engine númber of a mazda mpv v6 . Can anyone please help me whit this ?
Thanks you so much for this video.. helped me so much!!
Had a misfire on #3 I was here before then changing all 6 tho I'm back again just for a refresher 🙏🏾
Thank you so much 12/10/2022 🎉
Has this Mazda MPV been reliable for you?
I’m looking for a used one for work to drive about 200 miles a day!
Yes, it was reliable. It was traded in a few years ago.
Kill-O-Byte okay thank you! Thank
Good video. You do mean cylinders 1,3, and 5 on the back side.
+HammerDown No, 1-2-3 on the back bank and 4-5-6 on the front. Yes, it's not normal but that is how it's done on this van. :)
Thank you for sharing. It is great.
On the EGR the vacuum hose were dose that go mine is short and you can hear it sucking in air my engine light comes on an says PO174 bank2 to lean
+william delair The vacuum hose goes from the EGR valve to a sensor on the air box, which has another hose going to another sensor, also on the air box.
JUST hit 203,567miles on my 05 MPV... my ignition coil, and cylinder #2 are going bad... not excited about this- especially since I JUST found a crack in the plastic part of my radiator, just under the hose... I wanted to try to do this myself, buuuut, it looks like it's a TINY bit more than what I am able to accomplish on my own. *SUPER bummed out face*
i had a mechanic do the spark plugs. he did it from underneath for the back spark plugs,, he needed a special tool.
Hi there. How long would it take for a experienced mechanic to chenge the spark plugs on a Mazda mpv?
Labor time for an experienced professional is 1 hour IMHO. They may have a fixed labor time for the job that is more than that though.
I was told 3 hrs for labor by mechanic I know they probably just trying to make money.
@@ravangrayson2977 It took me 3.5 hours. That included replacing the six plugs and all three of the back coils.
Hi my mpv car doesn't heat on the back of the car it's the normal ?
I appreciate you ..your time energy and capabilities...do you have cash app
what torque wrench did you use? i want to buy an accurate torque wrench for this for as little money as possible if possible
That looks like a craftsman torque wrench.
is it accurate? i was going to get the pittsburg adapter because i seen somebody calibrating with it and a lot of people say its very accurate and only 30 bucks
As Ezeey Eric said, it's a Craftsman. As far as I know, it's accurate. I haven't had it checked in awhile.
Great video, I think I did everything right but when I connected the battery back the alarm went off and now the car won't start. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Check your alarm system. Just a guess but it sounds like your alarm system has disabled the vehicle until a code is entered.
Sounds like a security issue which is triggered by removing the battery connections. There is a way to avoid this by using a tool consisting of a 9 V battery plugged into a power outlet. Look into it. Check owners manual.
We need to no how set the frining order from the coil to the engine, thanks,
Tve house from the Brake booster comes off by pucsing the ring down and pulling the elbow up..
Is this similar to the mazda mpv 2001 LX?
This engine didn't come on an MPV until 2002 so it is unlikely.
@@Killobyte thank you!
does any one now where is located block heater plug???
I'm just amazed that it's the 21st century and consumers put up with a car design that has inaccessible spark plug holes and coils that are also buried on top of a hot engine -- it is to be expected that they won't last long! Do people really believe it's not possible to engineer a vehicle better than this? This is progress? There is no excuse IMO -- smart consumers should just say NO.
That is a FORD engine, what do you expect ?
Well, ease of maintenance DOES factor into design engineers' engine designs but not ahead of performance, cost and other variables. Yes, I too wish that it wasn't horizontally-opposed so that I could access the plugs as easily as I can my other cars, but at the end of the day, this isn't really all that much extra work. I mean, there are some supercars that DEFINITELY put ease of maintenance on the back burner as some require the entire body to be removed from the frame to change the oil and half the motor to be disassembled if you want to also change the plugs. Xd
Thank you so much!

someone got gypped on the spark plugs, they got platinum instead of iridium plugs.
How are you replacing plugs over 100k it's impossible bcuz your spark plugs only last 50k and especially if there cheap bcuz I changed my spark plugs and mazda only puts Densos and not Motorcraft, when I got my van it had 89k I think but it definitely wasn't 100k miles, and your not supposed to use antiseize since your not supposed to tighten your spark plugs so tight, it's like your oil filter you don't tighten it so much as matter of fact you hand tighten your oil filter until you can't
I have a p2187 and p2189 can you please help
Those are codes saying you have a lean condition (too much air/too little full) at idle. One code for each side of the engine(both banks) so it has to be something in common to both sides. I’d check for vacuum leaks, such as cracked hoses, but there are a lot of things that can cause those. Check out my video on replacing the pcv valve, it has some basic tips on troubleshooting a vacuum leak.
