Extra work? Yes. More plumbing than an old truck? Absolutely. But the young lad gives step by step instructions . Very clear audio. Good lighting on video. Very good how to. Most detailed video on triton plugs change on RUclips I've found.
I just pinned your comment. Thank you for a positive comment and I'm glad this has helped you!
Awesome video , question....what motor oil do you use? Thank you
@@tiggger1130 On all my engines I use what the manufacturer recommends, which in this engine is Ford Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic blend. Glad you liked the video and this helped you out!
I think you need to check dielectric grease and see what that does it does not conduct electricity i can see it lubricating the boot for easy pull off
I agree, and very thankful for this great video…
I miss the days of the good old clunkers with no computers, no injectors just good old clunkers that you you could actually see what was what .
I agree, they are still out there, but most are fixer uppers if you know what I mean. Computers and fuel injection are the way of the future, and we mus embrace it.
Thank you for the video. Yours was the first one that showed removing the fuel rails; I've replaced some plugs with it in place but pulling it out makes it much roomier to work.
Work smarter not harder! Thanks for watching, glad this helped you out.
Thanks so much for posting this video! My knowledge of automotive is mostly the class I took in high school and I didn't really have the money to pay someone to change the spark plugs and ignition coils when the parts them self costs ridiculous amounts of money. A little more coverage on the passenger side would have been nice but now that I'm done (took me two days and making some personal video notes on what I disconnected) it really helped. I own a 1999 F-250 Light Duty and seeing that it was only made for 3 years, I was scared that it would have taken something special to figure it out. But it's done the same exact way your truck is. Thank again. Other tubers, Up to questions while it's still fresh in my mind.
Thank you I am glad it helped you. About the passenger side, I actually was not going to do this video, but after getting into this further, I began to see where some people may have problems, so I started recording halfway through the job but back tracked with instructions as much as I could. Please help me by liking this video and subscribing to my channel! Thanks for the positive comment also.
I did the drivers side today about an hour. Only removed the intake snorkle/filter and fuel rail bolts. That allowed me enough wiggle to get them changed. I did not remove the fuel rail from the injectors.
It did require a variety of extensions and swivels as you showed.
Your video is well done.
Thank you for the positive comment.
Anyone that reads this, you can replace the spark plugs without removing the fuel rails! I've done it. I would advise to avoid removing the fuel rails.
Please share your video with the rest of us, because there is no way to remove the plugs with the rails on top of them.
Kevin Reese - I've changed plugs in COP systems before and didn't need to remove fuel rails. However, I'm planning on changing them in my 2000 expedition 5.4L this sunday and after looking everything over so I knew what to expect, I don't see how removing those rails can be avoided, either. Besides, it'll give me a chance to inspect the injectors. I guess we'll see how it goes...
Chelsea Schear sounds great I hope it goes good it's a heck of a job but alot cheaper than paying a mechanic! If you run into any problems just refer to my video or post in the comments and I will answer asap. Take care!
I don't have a video. But I promise it's possible. I have a 2003 ford f150 5.4L and I replaced all 8 spark plugs without removing the fuel rails. Just need some wobble extensions and universal joints.
I also work at a Ford dealership and asked a few guys there about it, cuz I'm still pretty new there. And they told me not to remove the fuel rail because I'll just run into more problems down the road. So I left them on.
Hi there. Thank you for video. I have Expedition 2003. About 2 years ago I replaced coil for cylinder 5. It was an easy one. Now I need to do same thing for cylinder 8. It's going to be more work, but after watching this video I feel more brave to approach this job. Thanks !
Thank you! Glad this video helped give you the confidence you needed to tackle the job! Please SUBSCRIBE!
I just replaced all of my coils and plugs on my 2003 5.4 Expedition. #4 and #8 suck to access. I had one coil replaced by a garage about 6 years ago and they charged me over $400!!! I replaced everything for $150.
Awesome I am glad I was able to help you get it fixed for cheap! I know those back ones suuuuck to get to, I had about 4 extensions and 2 u joint adapters to get to it! Glad this helped you. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video mate, working on a 99 Lincoln Navigator with 61000 miles original plugs etc... slowly working through on its service. 🇦🇺 All the best from NewZealand
Glad it helped you all the way over there!
My in-laws 97 expedition has no go power @only 140k miles , starts and runs fine in town, but when you get on the freeway it won’t open up and the cel is on, I been wanting to do the coil packs and plugs but it looks like a Sonofa.. I’m a pretty well rounded mechanic but I been trying to go around this lol, but with this video I might get in to it now ! Thanks for the detailed vid
I totally understand! It was definitely a job!
This helped me alot. Gave me confidence to dive into that mess of motor. Thanks for the video.
Glad this helped you, yes it is a mess when you first look at it. Any questions just comment I'll answer asap.
@@KReesethebeast 3 years later I am wondering how did it turn out?
@@franklin3271 trucks running strong so I'd say it went well!
Thanks for the video . I was going to check my plugs and change them if needed . But seeing what a pain it is, I think I'll let my mechanic so it!!!
If you have the extra money to spend I don't blame you! Thanks for watching. If he gets hung up, tell him to watch my video!
I am in no way a mechanic as far as my skills are concerned and I had to double check to see if this video was going to help me. Fortunately the answer is yes because I have a 98 Navigator with the exact same engine (I knew Ford made Lincoln, but I wasn't sure if my engine was a TRITON V8 or not).
Awesome!
Got all my parts for my 1999 Ford F150... doing this job this weekend!!!! Thanks for the help! (holding my breath!)
You got it! If you have any questions post them here and I'll help as best I can. Please don't forget to subscribe!
How did the job go bud? I got to do this myself.
@@blackscoped
The front 6 were simple… the back 2 were a bear! Had to go in from the wheel well. 😑
Good video I have a 2003 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4 engine and there's a misfire on 7 cylinder and I got stuck on that one due to the wrench I was using got slipped so I will go to plan B removed the fuel injectors rail to clear up for room for a sucket 7mm to remove the 7 cylinder coil thank you so much for having the time to show that any one can do the job done ✅ and Iam doing also all the spark plugs might it's well worth the work thanks again
I am glad this video helped you out brother. Thanks for the positive comment. Take care.
Wish you had shown how you got the #4 plug out.
Patience and a lot of wigglers and extensions
@@KReesethebeast man I couldn't even get the plug out with the manifold off tried a regular 5/8 deep socket and 5/8 spark plug socket no luck on #4or#5 it seems like the sockets won't sit over the plugs
@@thehoodcleaners8426 It is a tough job make sure you remove fuel rail and injectors!
Lol #4 is misfiring for me
1998 f150 and #4 is misfire
Awesome vid, sir. My brother has a 2000 Expedition Triton engine and that driver side was a PITA to get but watching this vid helped out A LOT !!! Thanks !
Yes it was I agree. Im glad this was able to help y'all out!
We got them out this weekend and he took it for a test drive and was smiling from ear to ear !!! He said he he's pleased with the power restoration and keeping gas. I'm subscribing to your channel even though I don't own a Ford but you helped out tremendously.
Great, and thank you for the support! Check out some of my other videos! Take care.
I changed my 2002 4.6 first plug and coil pack. Code showed it was the 5th plug. Luckily the one under the power steering bracket. The plug had over 100k miles on it. Electrode worn away. Not sure if I will do the others but I am lucky if I do as they are not the nightmare 2 piece plugs that are on some of these engines. Went pretty well.
Yes it was a job for sure. Glad I will never have to do it again for a long time!
Thanks. Helps a lot... One thing for sure is to make certain the 9/32 bolts start straight and run down smooth and easy... If you don't you will crossthread and break one of those low tensile strength bolts off and have a mess...
That is why it is always good to start bolts by hand!
Thanks for the vid mang.. I have a 99 expedition .. helped me out for sure..!
Great! Please subscribe! Follow me on Instagram @realkevinreese
thanks for the video...will be changing mine today...would've like to see the rear ones changed however simple and straight to the point..thanks
Tried to not make the video too long, hope this was helpful to you!
Great video. I still have work to do. Its been difficult to get to smaller places on the passenger side of the engine. Ill follow up later with the progress.
Yes it can be difficult. Swivel sockets and extensions are your friends! Let us all know how it goes.
I got a 98 Navigator with a 5.4 this helps a lot
Awesome!
Great video! Thanks for being to the point and telling sizes of all bolts and exactly what to take off. Just subscribed!
Thank you for the support and I am glad this helped you change your plugs!
I need the firing order on a Ford F-150 six cylinder
i changed my f150 5.4 without removing the rail so you created more work than was needed
I didn't remove the rail either, but I am having a heck of a time getting to 7 and 8. My fat fingers just can't seem to get in there.
How did u do it without taking the rail off
Was a 2v or a 3v
2v doesn't have to take off fuel rail
I have no idea how you did that without removing the rail. There was limited room even with the rail off, especially in the back.
Great video , thank you!!!👍🏽. I need to do plugs and possibly an ignition coil on my son’s 98 F-150 but DAMN this does not look like an easy job!
Plan on setting an evening aside to tackle this job! It was tough and just took time. This video will definitely help you out though! Thanks for watching, if you run into any issues just drop a comment I'll answer ASAP!
2000 4.2 v6. Is a cakewalk . the drivers siide is the hardest . just perhaps a cinder block and a 6 inch extension .. Passeger side is the fastest
the spark plugs have quite a bit of thread area. when installed will all the threads be engaged or just threaded down until the plug shoulder contacts the head. Seems there are more threads than necessary on the plugs.
If unsure refer to the torque spec.
Before removing the fuel rail, pull the fuel pump relay and then try to start the truck and that will take the pressure out of the fuel rail. Just remember to put it back in once you are done with everything otherwise you ain't going anywhere😬
Knowing me I would break the relay or lose it!
Good job young lad! I have that same truck what I'm having problems with is a E250 Econoline same motor but f you very much for access. Guess I shouldn't have let it sit 4 years.
I have found one of the WORST things you can do for a car or truck is let it sit and ignore it.
I've heard bad stories about the spark plugs snapping off..I asked a mechanic and he said they once in while. Hopefully the last mechanic put anti seize on them If I understand it right the anti seize does not help if it wasn't pre done. Would a torque wrench help. I have small music channel and I would rather be doing that.. I was an electronic tec..and we had our days too. one more thing. I was at big lots and got a bright portable light switch .. runs on AA batteries. subscribed and rang the bell.
Thanks for the support my friend! I have heard of the plugs doing that too, so far has not happened to me. Yes a torque wrench would help. Post back here if you have any questions. Take care!
Ford changed the engine (2 valve to 3 valve) and spark plug design in 2004 and the 2004-2008 had issues with spark plugs breaking off in the cylinder head. Exception. I went to change the spark plugs in my 2004 Ford Expedition 5.4l engine last month and discovered it had the older style 2 valve motor.Luckily my car was produced early in 2004 and had the old style plugs that don't break off. I didn't remove the fuel rails .It took me all Saturday to replace the plugs,I am not a mechanic but am mechanically inclined.My mechanic wanted $800. to do the job.Watch all the videos on how to do this project, there are a lot of good ideas and suggestions here.
Kevin Reese Yeah Kevin I have to replace tm my daughter's alternator on a 2005 Kia Sedona. It's a disaster of a design as far as this part goes. Not for a beginner watched several videos . one guy kept on saying.. this ridiculous.. Some people have resorted to almost taking the engine down.. But I've seen it done two or three ways without this.. I refuse to take an engine out when I know a manufacturer would not design it that way.. so anyways it looks the best way is to remove passenger front wheel and the the plastic cover that shields the engine. Other wise work from the top and listen many brackets to free the radiator..to have room to work.. regardless. I will take numerous videos and still pixs , the way it looks and has to reassembled. What kind of jacks do I need.
Oh wow that much to change the plugs WOW! Well I hope this video has helped you out and saved you some hard earned dough!
Oh wow. I have heard Kia is a very cheap brand and not at all easy to work on and rebuild, and this was from professional mechanics who do this for a living so they know their stuff. There is a reason these cars are so much cheaper than their competitors. That sounds like a mess. If you are getting under that Kia I would make sure all the wheels are blocked and it is supported on jack stands. I got a video of a good jack and stands on my channel, you should check it out, might give you some good ideas. Hope this helps, take care and be safe.
I had a 69 Mach 1 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland, that was a BITCH to change spark plugs in due to the side clearance of that big ass motor.......
and yet it was a cakewalk compared to my '02 5.4.
I can imagine!
I have the 4.6 I found out they don't have as big a problem with their plugs.
Thank you for that info.
I have a 2000 E150 van, 5.4L with 150k miles on it. I guess I should think about changing the plugs soon. They've never been out since Ford put them in. It still runs great though. Access is more difficult since its a Van. Ugh!
Yep definitely time most likely. My truck had a misfire and when I investigated, I saw the plugs were shot! I was surprised I only had a misfire on that one cylinder, the other 7 were ok but it was a matter of time! And those vans are a little difficult. My dad and I pulled a 351 out of an old early 90s 15 passenger Ford van and put it in his 92 flareside to replace to old worn out 302 in it. If you remove the inside panel on the van it does make it much easier to get to the back of the motor though so that is a good thing. Good luck with it!
Did my 01 without pulling fuel rail. Not sure why you would, didn't really cause a problem
Only way I could get to things safely.
Damn that’s too much shit just for spark plugs. Taking it to the mechanic “father in law” 2019 not in the mood today for this haha 🤣
Hahaha I don't blame you. This is quite the job on this truck. Hopefully your father in law is up for the challenge. If he runs into any problems, show him my video! Take care.
Sigh what did I get myself into. I miss my Silverado much easier to swap plugs
I know it is difficult, but at least it is not something you have to do often. This video will help if you decide to tackle it!
Di-electric grease is an insulator, so it should not be applied directly to and electrical contacts.
it helps keep water away and protects connections.
Kevin thanks for the great tutorial; great quality! Like Clint says: a man needs to know his limitations and you have shown me mine. My Q is this: I own a '99 F-150 4.6L with 80k miles (that's not a typo). I don't know if I have long or short thread heads. While I am not experiencing any issues, would you recommend me taking it in sooner than later to have this done? My worry is waiting to 100k and having an issue with the threads binding, which is a whole different problem. I will bookmark this and check back if you have the time to answer. Thanks buddy.
Glad you liked the video! You have gem on your hands with only 80k, I bet it is in great shape. If you are not having any issues with the engine running, the plugs are probably fine. However, I feel it is always better to err on the side of caution, and if the plugs are something that concerns you, I would have them replaced.
Awesome video! Nice looking engine!
Thank you! Please be sure to SUBSCRIBE! Take care.
Great video, very helpfull. I feel confident I can change my plugs
Awesome, I am glad it helped you out. Please like and subscribe to help me. Take care.
Thank you very much help me a lot and save me money to go to mechanic
David Gomez you are welcome! Glad this helped you!
Great Video, what programmer are you running, saw it right after you started the truck......thanks again
You are in luck, I actually did a review of that tuner. Here is the link. Take care, and thanks for watching. ruclips.net/video/MhHH1OTY22s/видео.html
Yes I have been having to baby my 99 Chrysler Town and Country. it has 230k miles on it. The head gasket is going bad. I probably will have to rebuild the engine.. It will be the hardest thing I've ever done. I am totally ignorant about the process. Can you give me an idea of cost.. Just ball park it. The engine runs like new just have to hydrate it. Much better than a random junk yard... also a RUclipsr and my site is starting to grow. I've had it for years..
Headgasket is cheap, it is the labor that will cost you. Also, the head will need to be resurfaced most likely, so that is a trip to a machine shop. On that car with that many miles if it were me, I would sell as a mechanics special and get something else. That is if you are taking it to a shop, because you will have more money in that car than it is worth. Hope that helps.
Was the motor ticking before spark plug removal
What prompted me to investigate is I had a miss and a check engine light with a cylinder misfire so I pulled the plug on that cylinder and it was shot, as well as all the others.
Definetly don't have to take the fuel rails out just did it without taking them out
You are a better mechanic than me.
Yeah I babying my Chrysler Town and country. I was in denial.. I finally narrowed it down to a bad head gasket.. Not a mechanic but have friend in the neighbor hood and church who are mechanics. Problem is mechanics have to make a living..And I refuse to take advantage of friendships. I try to help more than need help. if I can do something on my own , but just need a just a little advise or quick looking at, that's fine. I have plenty of books.. I figure I've got a few months, keep water in the car and confine to short trips. A long time ago I took at the thermostat.. it was getting hot quick and I wanted to make sure that the water jacket was not dry.. The radiator cap caused it to get hot in a couple minutes. I don't recommend this... I am no expert but that car will not run with a radiator cap on.. you do what you have to do..I also tried putting the cap on loosely.. no dice. The distortion fans come on..I replaced them around two years ago..it was a pain to replace the control semiconductor..and I'm an electronic tech..fixed TVs etc for years. I know it sounds crazy, but back during the depression they did strange things to get them by.. they had to drive bald tires.rememember the days of recaps. Anyways I think that I will be able to it. I don't have any idea what to ye, but it good experience.. I help keep the kids cars going. .. I have five jacks and two sets of jack stands.. I want a transmission jack. My dad could take a transmission apart blindfolded and put it back together blindfolded. He had an unbelievable memory... it didn't pass to me. be blessed.. stay in touch paul
That is good not to take advantage of friendships, and yes they have a trade and have to earn a living like everyone else. It sounds like that car of yours is giving you a hard time. Overheating is usually due to a coolant leak from a low coolant level or either a bad thermostat. Also make sure your fans are coming on at idle and watch your coolant temp.
Your cylinder 1 has water leak, 5 years ago that is. Your truck still running?
Like a sewing machine.
Are those plugs known to break when taking them out? Do you let engine get cold or have it semi warm to take them out? If u were to take it to a shop, what would they charge? I like watching these videos working on engines...
I'm glad you like watching these videos, I have plenty of them! Yes, I have heard cases where the plugs break and blow out of the head. Never remove them when they are hot, always make sure the engine is cool, it also helps to spray penetrating oil down around the plug and let it sit and soak, then remove very easy and slowly. As far as a shop goes, they are going to charge you based on how much time it takes to do the job, and most are upwards of $100/hr in labor. This truck was pretty involved and took me about 4 hours. So you would be looking at around $500 after parts and labor and tax. For me, it only cost me a trip to the parts store and plugs. I am not considering my tools. Tools are a long term investment that pay for themselves again and again. Thanks for watching, and I hope this helps.
@@KReesethebeast Right on 👊🏼
Thanks for only doing 5, 6, and 7. I wanted to see how you got number 8 out. Oh well
I tried to show and explain the process as best I could. Did not film every step as trying to keep video length and time as low as possible for everyone's convenience.
@@KReesethebeast granted, it's useful but number 8 is the most difficult to change out. Thanks 😊
Okay so your using standard sockets. They are actually metric. The fuel rail bolts are 10mm and the coil bolts are 7mm
They work either way.
@@KReesethebeast true
I know there's a benefit having 8 coil (packs) instead of one but what would that be? Gas mileage Maybe?
Generally speaking, coil packs are much more reliable than distributors, because there are no moving parts and because they fire much less often than a distributor. Coil packs usually create a better spark, which in turn produces better combustion and horsepower in an engine overall. There is a reason there are no distributors anymore. Plus everything is computer controlled now for efficiency and what not. Way of the future!
Informative, but would be so much better if you would slow down and hold the camera still.
cnrmoose it is difficult to hold the camera completely still without using tripod which I was unable to do for all the footage I wanted to show. I try to move as fast as possible in order to not have a 30 minute video. It is a fine line to walk with content and time.
Excellent video. Thank you very much.....
Thanks for watching and I am happy this video has helped you.
DO NOT FOLLOW Fords torque spec 13 Ft lbs or your plugs can blow out tighten to 25 ft lbs instead. The heads have very few threads for the plugs but if tightened to 25 ft lbs they will hold.
Hmm, interesting. I have not had any issues with mine so far. Over torquing could cause the threads to strip. Tough situation.
dude, that engine looks spotless....it has 200k on it??
About 240k. Thank you, I and the previous owner have kept it well maintained.
Yup, live got a 99 buick century 3.1 with 280,000
Replaced the lower intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets.... no oil leaks
And just a light pressure wash every 2 months or so
Did the whole job and the car starts but stalls out will not idle any suggestions? Maybe my fuel injectors got a bit dirty 🤔 please send help lol
Might want to double check your work carefully, something is not right.
Ever figure out what happened? Having this same problem right now. Also had a really hard time getting the very back injector to connect to the fuel rail
@lukaswolff26 yeah some of the rubber gaskets on the fuel rail stayed in the injectors so when I replaced them I didn't think to look for the old ones in the injectors so there were 2 gaskets on some of the fuel injectors where they meet the fuel rail
Thank you!!!
Glad this helped you!
Darn. I wanted to see the plugs for cylinders 1 through 4.
About the same on both sides. If you can do one side, you can do both. Just be patient with it.
Would this effect exhaust? Just had it done, and noticed an exhaust leak. Looks like driver side. The shop I went to said it was unrelated. Could it be a cat prob causing back pressure?
Uh oh. If you just did this, and you hear what sounds like an exhaust leak, I hope the plug did not blow out, that might be what you are hearing..
The drivers side, farthest to reach, spark plug is corroded on and will not budge. Its been like that since I bought it and I've been using this good oil for several months trying to get it to come losses. Any suggestions?
Someone may have cross threaded the plug, I would be very careful with that one.
With everything off you need to access but everything on the truck needs to run still ie fuel rail in place, run the motor for 10 min or until it is at operating temp for at least 5 min. Make sure to wears long sleeves and thin gloves it is going to be hot but now remove fuel rail ect and the plug should come out once you manage to break torque go slow working the threads back and forth as you extract.
No wonder my mechanic wanted 300 bucks plus parts.
Oh yeah, it is a job.
Out of curiosity, what kind of fuel economy do you get hwy and city driving?
I average between 17 and 18 mpg in my truck. Lowest I have seen was about 16.5.
Hey man what kinda digital radio did you put in it?
It is a Pioneer AVH 270BT I think.
Okay, I get really frustrated by people using the wrong words to describe what they are doing. A motor takes an outside power source and does work with it.. An engine takes a fuel source and converts it into an energy source; then does work with it. Motor and engine are NOT interchangeable.
You are correct with the terminology, and I do know the difference between the two. However, the majority of people will use the terms interchangeably. Is it correct to say it? No, but someone looking to change spark plugs will understand what I am saying. I am guilty of using motor to describe an engine from time to time. Thanks for making sure we all know the difference. Merry Christmas!
What did you have to remove to get access to the rear driver side coil/plug?
Thanks for watching. I should have covered it in the video. There are some vaccum lines back there that I believe I remember removing.
Ok I just bought a 99 expedition and I've been doing little things to it to make it better so I was looking up how to do a time up on it. So I go outside to look at these coils that everyone is talking about and on the passenger side the farthest one back is just sitting there not attached to anything and it looks to me like there is a piece of galvanized pipe threaded down into the hole where the spark plugs is. Can someone please tell me what in the hell this could be for? What it is doing there?
That does not sound good. It could be that the spark plug blew out and someone attempted to fix it. I would ask the previous owner.
Thanks for the video. Anyone who says you don’t have to remove to fuel rail to replace the plugs, you can, but what a royal pain in the ass.
Exactly
Thanks, good video
welcome!
I need the firing order on a1999 ford 150 6 cyj 4.21 256ci
I'd just Google that one
Having owned a '98 5.4 for 13 years I can say that this messing with Champions is asking for blown out plugs! NOTHING but motorcraft FORD plugs should be used. ALSO NO ANITI-SIEZE! Pluge will loosen up. DO NOT MESS with fuel system! LORD almighty! HAVE a P030? code? ONLY MESS WITH THE MISSING CYLINDER! Change ONE AT A TIME! This is NOT a Chevy small block! ANOTHER IMPORTANT VERY IMPORTANT thing is CHANGE THE COIL-OVER! NEW COIL OVER and NEW PLUG is a MUST! THis engine will run FOEVER with minimal messing with it. U R asking for an ongoing nightmare if you mess with things shown in this VIDEO! PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS see much $$$$ from any owner who follows this video.,
Having owned this '01 5.4 since 2012, and doing countless spark plug changes on different engines, I disagree. Chill brother, everything is fine. Truck still running like a beast as always. Plug has nothing to do with blowing out, it was the heads on some Ford engines, threads were shallow. I agree Motorcraft is best, I only use that oil. Champion plugs I have always had great results with. As for fuel system, unfortunately had to remove the rails to get the plugs done correctly. Also, if you never used anti seize on plugs, you are asking to break one next time you change them. I have always used anti seize on plugs, never had one blow out.
Thanks bro🤞🏽
No problem
What tool do you need for removing the coil?
No tool is needed simply grab the coil twist a little bit and pull up.
Why does everyone do the driver side, there is not one video of someone doin the passenger side and the passenger side is harder then the the driver
I don't have an answer for that one. I thought they were both equally a pain in the butt, especially the rear plugs.
Thank you its was very helpful
Glad it helped you!
Y’all got anytips the scroow that hailed the coil in place broke in Half wail I was undoing it
You can use a small drill bit and drill into it then put the drill in reverse and it should come out. You may have to use what they call an "easy out". Go to a parts store and talk to a guy who has some experience, they will know what you are talking about.
I also have a video on how to replace VTEC solenoid gasket on a Honda S2000. I show how to remove a broken bolt in that video, that should help you out. Go to my channel and search it.

You can not go wrong with a Honda for reliability and fuel efficiency in my opinion, if that is what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
Kevin Reese Money is tight.. I don't want to have a payment. Perhaps I can find a car that doesn't run. Maybe by a car like mine that has a bad transmission. Thanx for that info.. as I think about I seldom hear of Honda problems.
have any problem with spark plug blow outs or them snapping off in the head? i have a 5.4 triton ford expedition 1999 and need to change plugs. i then heard about this potential spark plug problem im kinda werry on doing them now. my engine is set up exactly the same as this video.
I'm aware of that issue, but I've never had any issues with mine, and its got almost 250k on it
Will spark plugs cause it to sputter?
Old worn out fouled plugs could cause that. My issue was I had a slight miss with the engine running. Plugs is the first and easiest thing to check. Next would coils, fuel issues, pump, filter..
Kevin Reese thanks! yeah mine just started making a thudder like it’s shooting out air
@@gordoskinny1412 Shooting out air? That is not good, have you checked to make sure the spark plug did not blow out of the cylinder? That was a problem with some of these engines.
As you know I came to RUclips cause I’m not mechanically inclined lmao ruclips.net/video/zgjk6yggiik/видео.html sounds exactly like this
@@gordoskinny1412 If it sounds like that it is your problem for sure.

sorry I don't understand.
Ford engines run better with motorcraft plugs
I have always had good results with champion
Video sucked! All I needed to see was how to remove the rail. Not how to remove a spark plug👎
Well it's all part of the process so..
You talk to much bro just do the job.the first 5 min was unnecessary. Tell us what tools we need.
Trying to cover all the bases
Don't clean it!
Got to!
Nothing but mumbo jumbo...
