Appreciate the video. Pretty simple DIY vs paying $200 for somebody else
Couple of extra points here. Please blow out your engine before you remove any of the coils or spark plugs. Second do them one at a time just in case you have dirt falling into a cylinder when you're not looking. When replacing the spark plugs don't use a power tool to tighten the spark plugs initially. Tighten them by hand. Its very difficult to cross thread a cylinder head when turning by hand. After your are sure that the thread are not cross threaded tighten them any way you want. Personally I would finish tighten them by hand.
Blow out ?
@@dalegribble4308 yeah with compressed air, blow off all the dirt and debris from the engine surface as well as anything in the spark plug well that may have dropped in after removing the coil. It should always be blown out prior to removing the spark plug to ensure no dirt or debris gets directly into the cylinder while the plug is out.
2012 Ford Focus owner here, also I would check the spark plug gap before putting them in, you can check your manual for reference
So tightening by hand is very difficult with the depth of the hole. Are you saying by using a tool and not an electric tool?
This is by far the clearest how to video I have ever seen, great job.
thank you so much for making this so much more clear
so no needs to remove the battery connectors?
Dis your spark plugs have oil?
Thanks for the video. Please, can you tell me the tools you use so I can get mine? Thank you
I like to buy milwaukee tools. but I have lots of different brands, craftsman, husky, milwaukee, etc - the best tool is the one that gets the job done right - I recommend shopping at lowes or home depot, they have great quality tools, and of course can't forget harbor freight tools.
@@HidalgoMotorsCo I know nothing about cars. I did find the company website that sells the type of spark plugs you use. However, I don’t know which ones I need for my 2014 Ford Focus because it was so many.
5:8 plug socket
Ford focus 2011?
that’s phuking easy
Whst number of spark block shocket 14mm or 16mm
That s what I was about to ask....what 5/8 means in metric😂😂😂
Got a $675 quote from a Houston Ford dealership. Common sense tells me to call an auto parts for parts and hire a reputable shop to do the "simple work"!
and what exactly does this add more?
Nothing it’s just general maintenance
Ford Focus 2016 2.0L Flex fuel engine my engine light went off and scan tool at Auto Zone said P0300 which means change plugs and or coils . I changed the plugs and check engine light went off seemed to run better . It was stalling / lagging when accelarating . That was 2-3 weeks ago and now noticed some of that old stalling / lagging came back and light engine came back on . Had it scanned again at O
Reillys and says same thing . Woman there says a tune up and I told her I just did one . She says disconnect battery for ten minutes which will reset computer .. I did that for fifteen minutes and the same engine light still on . Any help be appreciated
Change the coils and then reset the battery again
If that didn't work with the reset then it might be a faulty fuel pump issue. See this video ruclips.net/video/NeUP6lzHg5k/видео.html
@@johnsantiago3784 update - it's normal now. Just took a long time . Took over a month but now runs great. Maybe a slow computer. Last time , check engine light turned off and mechanic couldn't scan or find anything wrong with it so I let it go and waited. As I said , it's normal now. Fantastic.
As part of a tune-up, you should also be cleaning the throttle body and replacing the air intake filter as well as replacing the PCV valve, which are known for causing fuel delivery issues in the Mk3 Focus. Should run like a top after as long as there isn’t a ton of carbon buildup on your intake valves.
I’m having the exact same issues(stalling, lag issues and now the check engine light came on). I just got the used car a month ago. I’m hoping changing the sparks plugs will do the trick as I don’t know a thing about cars. How were you able to fix yours? I’m going to go to auto zone and get a diagnostic. I really hope it’s nothing I can’t fix by shelling out a few bucks…
What is the torque needed?
Spark plug torque specs for the Mk3 Focus (2012-2018) is 11ft-lbs. The torque spec for the coil bolt is 7.5 ft-lbs.
Don't want to sound dumb but what does a tune up do to your car?
Basically, over time your spark plugs get corroded with carbon and whatnot reducing efficiency of the spark and decreasing overall efficiency. New plugs make the car run better
Not only what Aaron said, but also the other aspects that go along with the plugs which are the air intake filter, throttle body cleaning and potentially the PCV valve. These are the key components that make sure your engine gets proper air, fuel and spark to run efficiently. Carbon buildup on your intake valves is also a common issue for GDI motors, but can be mitigated with regular intake valve cleaning additives and/or regular spirited driving.
Do you have any car available for sale today...//;?
hey friend! yes thanks for watching!
Looks like that engine bay ain't ever been cleaned..
This dude is going to mess up is car. Very dirty and power tools really. This is why you pay someone to do this if you have no idea what your doing.
Yeah, I would have first blown the area with compressed air. Then used a hand ratchet to remove the sparkplug with a grommet socket. When replacing sparkplug spin it in by hand in the socket. Never use the ratchet to start the sparkplug so you don't cross thread it.
@@cryingleftists2290spin the spark plug opposite direction until you feel a click. Then spin it the correct direction. This way you won’t cross thread
@@zipper978 you wouldn't feel that on the end of a ratchet unless you pulled it from the end of a extention and socket and started it by holding the extention.
@@cryingleftists2290 exactly what I meant. You don’t need a ratchet until it needs to be torqued down. Should be hand spun until then.
