Btw, thank you very much for this video. It was incredibly helpful and gave me the courage to do it myself even though I’m not very mechanically inclined. **FYI if you don’t have the torx socket to remove the screw studs from manifold, that’s a show stopper. Get it or get a set.** Many thanks brother
Thank you so much for this! Currently doing this today. Totally unrelated to note: the neighbor kids have started using some of my favorite swears, and there's totally a 100% chance that they didnt overhear me cussing jeep and whoever designed thus model. For spark plugs and ignition coils! FFS
Definitely like the detail in the video in the video itself and the information but Jesus Christ all that for the damn driver side spark plugs and that's coming from a VW mk6 GTI owner "this is ridiculous"
Great video! I think it's weird how Jeep have the manifold designed differently for different years lol - I have a 2018 Jeep GC 3.6L and the design is different than yours. I had a miss fire on Cylinder 1 and I decided to check the spark plugs today. All 5 were good and one was sketchy with some ashes and a bit melted on the tip; Just got 6 brand new ones and I am in the process of changing them (Will be done tomorrow). I have a question though: I was thinking if it would be problematic to swap coil on cylinder 1 to cylinder #2 before I put everything back together (The reason I am asking is that after I put the manifold back on (It's a pain the butt to get to cylinder 1 but the #2 is exposed and easy to get to (SHOULD the spark plug not be the issue but the coil I can easily change that. What are your thoughts? Great video. Subscribed!
@@richierock1300 Thank you! Actually after i removed all the spark plugs and tested them (One was OFF and had ash and a burnt tip) I replaced all 6 of them and that did the trick! Thanks again!
Me: they must have run out of 13mm nuts on the assembly line this day. 6.30: they used speed nuts… What the F were they thinking. This is incredibly stupid just to replace spark plugs.
You did a great job my only complain lol you just didn’t show how to maneuver your tools on and little details other than that you did good very helpful
Good video, thanks a lot. it helped me majorly today while I did the plugs and coils on my fiancee's jeep. No clue why Chrysler would put the drivers side under the intake, how dumb.. Also, that bracket on the rear was a BITCH to get those nuts back on. Couldn't have done it without this video though, thanks again.
Yea my wife's grand cherokee only 38000 has same problem the 3 cylinder is mis firing and of course it ain't the driver side its the intake manifold side which Is a nightmare to take apart hence why I hate American vehicles I'd have a Japanese car some lasted 200 thousand miles without Even a tuneup with no issues at all
Do you recommend cleaning the manifold ? Like washing it the inside while it is off? If yes what do you recommend to use as far as chemicals. I got some of that purple ent degreaser. Is that alright?
You can use throttle body cleaner and paper towels and tooth brush , it’s just a mess and takes time , if doing the runners into the heads make sure to leave plugs out blow out with blow gun don’t want too much stuff sitting in the chamber might foul out new plugs take your time
Thanks for the good video on this, I am going to tackle this project tonight. Glad you listed torque specs and tricky bolt locations. Too bad they are $33 a plug for Mopars. Eeyouch!
@@richierock1300 ok thanks for replying. I just did a customers same vehicle and it had champion in there but i thought champion was more for Chevrolet vehicles. I put champion back in there to avoid any problems
My Oli housing is leaking, do you recommend the aluminum housing from Dorman? And since its a lot of work, how much do you think a dealership will usually charge for that? Curious if I should just attempt myself while changing spark plugs?
Well if you can do the upper you can do the lower once you get the lower out you should be able to do the housing yes I would recommend the aluminum one replace the oil pressure sensor when in there also
@@richierock1300 thank you. How did you loosen that rear lower bracket but? I’ve tried prying on it with a pry bar but it only bends. Still can’t get to it.
@@richierock1300 hello I have 2015 also shakes a lot on and off light comes on goes off scanner tool reads cylinder 3 misfire and ignition coil what should I replace first ?
I would swap the coil to another cylinder and see if miss follows that coil if not swap spark plug if follows bad plug if not check compression 135 or better replace injector if not good compression internal if found plug or coil replace them all and keep good coils for spares or testers
@@richierock1300 wow you are the best I didn’t think you would reply this fast thank you gain for your help and you just gained a new follower appreciate it so much 💯
I think I got ripped off I switched the coil and all new spark plugs car was fine on a 30 test drive got in the car this morning on my way to work engine light came on again smh after I put 300 and hours of waiting around into it yesterday sorry to be a irk what should I do next
Take it out compare the threads to the old plug make sure they match if so look at the first thread on the one trying to start make sure it’s a clean thread not chewed up like cross threaded if so try another new plug and start by hand fingers on socket if still cannot then going to have to get a thread chaser for that thread size hopefully trying a different plug works take your time don’t use a ratchet until you are sure it’s started properly
U should just so you know it’s not them if you have a vacuum leak after assembly, if it’s yours and you want to take a chance that’s up to you I’m sure they will be fine one time
Coils can go anyway the wiring is specific let them lay and see where they fit best if you crossed one you will have 2 miss fires so 1 only check plug connector and then pull the coil and check the spark plug make sure it has proper gap
@@jamesneighbors2345 Shidddddd! Those Champions lasted a whole 160K on mines. I had to change the Oil Cooler and just changed out the plugs and coils just off G.P because I'm going back in after. The plugs never fouled out. So I put new ones back in. $8.99 each compared to the $19.99 each for NGK's
Not a good Ideal to put Silicon on manifold or gaskets at all, there'sno need. That's some new stuff that some mechanics are doing, that's unnecessary. Once that high heat get to it for awhile that silicon gets hard and brittle and then you have a new problem because it also hardens your gaskets. The rest of the video was on point
Your video here makes it a lot less scary looking than a few others I've seen. Thanks, this makes it much more easier to see the steps. So helpful !

Pls include detail of which torx socket you used bro. I'm trying to change my sparkplugs too, thank you.
Is it the E8 torx?
Pardon the delayed response... I believe it was an E8 or E10 Torx. I ended just getting a set. @@Ddboyz465

Thanks man your video saved me today! Best video on RUclips and to the point
Thank you
That magnet trick was super helpful.
What great details in the video for exactly how to do this. What prompted you to replace the plugs? I'm getting an extended crank with no error code.
I'm having an extended crank also with no codes. I'm going to change the spark plugs one of these days. Hopefully that will fix the issue.
Great video I have a question I also broke my cap like u did what can I use to replace it?
Don’t remember what kinda cap

Awesome video. Going to be a lot of help when I get to my spark plugs this week.
Has anyone ever told you you sound a little like Adam Sandler?
thanks for the video! Great job! One quick question, where do I find the seals for lower intake? Do you know the part number? Thanks again!
Advance auto parts they will assist you with the right parts

All of that just for spark plugs
Pretty common these days, the town and counrty mini vans are worse

You think that's bad? Try changing spark plugs on a CBR1000RR. 4 hour job. You have to drop the motor out of the bike....
Thank you for the video.
Got a major miss going on. Wife bought a set of coils and plugs for a hundred bucks or so. Is it best just to do both at the same time?
Yes
Do you recommend cleaning the manifold ? Like washing it the inside while it is off? If yes what do you recommend to use as far as chemicals. I got some of that purple ent degreaser. Is that alright?

Can i use this same video for my 2017 jeep grand Cherokee currently rather do a tune up myself instead of paying almost $700
If it’s the same engine yes
Thanks for the good video on this, I am going to tackle this project tonight. Glad you listed torque specs and tricky bolt locations. Too bad they are $33 a plug for Mopars. Eeyouch!
NGK Laser Iridiums are better than the OEM Champions and they’re $19 each.
Haha lucky you don't have a hemi then
How do you remove the vacuum lines?? It’s impossible on mine. It’s not moving at all.
Spray penetrate or brake kleaner and use a little flat blade screwdriver lift up a end and re spray it
What spark plugs where in there from the factory? I see you used auto lite is that what was in there?
Champion ,Dodge Jeep

Thanks Man do more Videos. 👏👏
Are new intake seals required to be replaced? My car is taken apart and didn’t know I needed new ones… so I’m car-less
You should that way it reduces the chance of a early vacuum leak but if your in bind put a little grease on them
@@richierock1300 thank you. How did you loosen that rear lower bracket but? I’ve tried prying on it with a pry bar but it only bends. Still can’t get to it.
@@Juanimo7 pretty sure loosened the nut
@@Juanimo7 I'm having the same issue with the pry bar - it only bends so I cant fit my wrench on the nut. Did you ever figure out a workaround?
I have a 2015 and it vibrates when I put it in drive and I was reading that I could be the spark plugs is this right by any chance?
Scan it to see miss fire codes , if not disconnect one coil at a time that u can to see the one that don’t change the way it runs

@@richierock1300 thank you!! Finally got it. Do you know where the MAP sensor is on the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Most likely in upper intake on the front of intake manifold in the middle
One of my coils had a strange black plug with a hole in the center, placed in the tube. What the heck is that?
Is it necessary to change the seal gaskets?
U should just so you know it’s not them if you have a vacuum leak after assembly, if it’s yours and you want to take a chance that’s up to you I’m sure they will be fine one time
Thanks for the answer, I'll just put new seals.
Do I need to disconnect the battery?
Not necessary maybe best for own protection and clean the terminals and battery anyway
@@richierock1300 Thank you sir. Liked your video and subscribed
Great video
What tools were used can someone list them please
I’m pretty sure I said the sizes 8 10 13 mm
Do you know the which way the coils are numbered. I have a misfire in cylinder 2 but not sure which one it is
Coils can go anyway the wiring is specific let them lay and see where they fit best if you crossed one you will have 2 miss fires so 1 only check plug connector and then pull the coil and check the spark plug make sure it has proper gap
Front right is #1
