    I cannot tell you how thankful I am for this video. I'm so impressed with how you did it, it was super helpful. You didn't spend 10 minutes just loosening screws, and I could see where all the hoses were that you took off. I watched the video a bunch of times to make sure I got them back on right. As a bonus you know what everything's called, so I can refer back to this video if I need to know. Thank you again so much! Very very well done video. I have subscribed, and watched a bunch of your commercials lol.

    Had a 302 code come up after 2 months of misfire with no engine light. This video helped me change out back plugs and Cylinder 2 spark plug. Fixed the problem, no engine light and running like a 20 year old car with only 55K miles again! which is pretty good. Thanks for the video and thanks for keeping it up 9 years later.

    This video was extremely helpful! Mechanic quoted me $200 to replace the back three plugs, but was able to do it with the help of this video. One thing I might add is to purchase two extra EGR elbow connectors. The originals are cheap and flimsy will be likely tear...like mine did. This Taurus my wife inherited from her late mother. My first Ford. Great video and great instruction! Thank you!

    Great video, this was very helpful to me on a valve cover gasket replacement. Only one thing, the intake manifold bolts are not capture bolts, they are only held in place by the rubber grommets so it's a good idea to pull them all out after loosening them. If you don't, when you flip the manifold over they can drop out and be a bit tricky to find, as happened in my case ;)

    Thanks very much for making this. It helped me through the job very well.
    My task was to change the plugs and wires.
    I took a little short cut- after disconnecting the stuff on the right and the left
    I propping the manifold up with a stick and had room to work avoiding disconnecting the lower stuff too. (I didn't need it to flip all the way over)

    Great info! I've got a 99 Taurus DOHC (170K miles) with the aluminum intake, but the procedure is almost identical.
    Two things I've learned:
    1) Be slow and careful moving that manifold around. It's heavy and sturdy, but still possible to break a tab or crack the throttle body from setting it down too hard.
    2) Double or triple check the vacuum lines when hooking everything back up, especially the red ones. These tend to slip out of the rubber boot that attaches to the manifold while you're fidgeting with something else, and the car will idle really rough when started.

    This is my second time trying to change my spark plugs and wires an my 2003 Mercury Sable. The first time my brother helped my and broke the 8 screws on my upper intake manifold and it cost me $1100 to get it repaired. Today was the second time I tried it. This video gave me the confidence to try it again without the help of my brother :) it took me about 3 hrs to complete the job but I did it perfect with the help of this video. I would like to give a big thanks to FordTechMakuloco you saved me $430, I really appreciate that.

    Car would barely run in winter cold start, but would run perfect after warm up. Suspected intake gasket leaks. Sprayed good dose of "Armorall" at plenum base all around when cold started engine and warmed up. Did this a few times over a couple days and found this must swell gaskets and has sealed problem for more than a year. No wrenching required.

    For those of you who replace that PCV tube... when you order the new one from Rockauto it will have a spring clamp glued to the TB side connector. To remove it, apply some heat with a butane lighter to the backside of the clamp and carefully twist off. Replace that clamp with a standard screw-to-tighten hose clamp from Home Depot. Your life is now much easier in the future. ;)

    FordTechMakuloco - thanks thanks thanks! I have an '04 Taurus with the 24v. Slightly different in that I have coil on plug and something seemed different with that lower hose connected to the manifold, but a really good guide to get me into that rear set of plugs! Took me maybe half an hour to get everything off the top and another half hour to do the rear plugs. Did the tune up for $66 instead of the $310 the shop wanted! Save a bundle because of this video!

      It's been a few months since I worked on it. Wish I'd have taken pics. Is the one you're having trouble with kind of under the rear bank around the lower intake? I remember having to use a small pair of pliers to squeeze a clamp open and at the same time carefully work a hose off. I wasn't able to fully remove the UIM but was able to move it around enough to work.

      You *should* replace both gaskets. But you can probably get away with reusing the intake gasket. The EGR gasket is super cheap. If you want to save a few more bucks, you can order the parts from an online store like partsgeek.com instead of your local auto parts dealer.

    I have the same engine.
    When you pulled the EGR off,....I noticed two gaskets on bottom only.
    I changed mine about two day's ago. It had one gasket on bottom,..no gasket on top. I thought someone had missed something so when the new EGR came with two gaskets I installed one on top also. Should I double up on the bottom and eliminate the top?
    Car runs fine.

    Love the videos. I own a 1995 Mercury Sable with a 3.0 L. Engine light has been on for over a year. Every component has been replaced under the hood, at least 2X including the ECM. Light is still on. The car runs great, however, after driving it for a few miles and turning it off, the car will not start unless you let it cool off for at least 20-30 minutes. Then no problem. I was told to that the intake is plugged and to change it. Do you think this can be the problem?

    For anyone with this engine, the main PCV elbow on the bottom near the throttle body should be replaced with an updated one. Ones like the one is this video are prone to collapsing! My taurus (2000 with the duratec which also has seperate ignition coils) had the updated elbow on it when I started pulling everything apart. Im gonna be doing valve cover gaskets on mine though. Spark plug holes are full of oil and burning and sticking to the plugs,boots, springs, and bottom of the ignition coil where the spring connects causing connection issues and random missfires :( and any suggestions on the PCV system? its dumping TONS of oil into my intake... I was thinking a catch can or something because of how severe it is. It seems its mainly coming in from the front valve cover? that pcv tube is always full of oil. Makes me wonder if an oil return is partly clogged or something. Im gonna try and investigate the issue once I get the valve covers off. I run fully synthetic mobil 1. I plan on changing to pennzoil's ultra platnium though to help clean this old engine as it has 207,000 miles on it and was running like new until the oil started pooling in the spark plug wells. Runs very strong too. Ive watched videos of people doing 0-60 in the duratec tauruses and mine is a bit quicker. Not sure if its due to the vacuum leaks from the UIM and LIM gaskets being shot letting it get more air in or so much wet compression from all the oil being dumped into it while its running. I love this little car. The trans is just starting to give me some trouble (slight slipping at really high rpms during kick downs and sometimes really hard shifts) so not sure how much longer it will be until it drops :( The programming for these AX4N trans is garbage... specially the programming for the TC lockup... I plan on dropping the bottom pan and changing the filter and the bit of fluid thats there

    On the 2000 sable duratec, it's got an early attempt at COPs. '01-'03 went back to the ol' cap n rotor.
    Got the '00 sable DOHC in 2016 with 61k miles, original plugs. Changed em out right away with dealer bought plugs, checked the gaps anyways, but still lost a coil shortly after.
    It's a new part # with different boot design (DG-513). Seems like maybe moisture was getting inside the spark plug well?
    I've since lost 2 more, but I'm wondering if I should replace the other 3 with the new design, or I can just wait until (if) it throws a misfire code.
    Some days it'll idle real $&!++# but doesn't throw a code. Clears up after a few minutes, but does it take a lot of misfires to get a CE light? I don't have a reader so I just do shade tree diagnosis to narrow down which coil it is. Last 3 are in the back, so if it does cause a CE light, I might just buy all 3.

    I am looking for a CERTIFIED MOBILE MECHANIC that can come diagnose and hopefully fix my car, it is a 2003 Mercury Sable Ls Premium, has the 3.0 V6 DOHC. Has a new battery and starter. One morning I started it to let it warm up to drive 20 minutes to the doctor and about 10 min into my drive I noticed my display for my radio/heat wasnt on, but everything was working. I gave the display a little tap and everything came back on. I got to the doctor and as always shut my heat, radio, and unplug my car charger, then shut it off locked it and went inside. I was only inside 20 minutes and came out to my car not wanting to start, it was clicking and trying to crank, so I had about 10 people try andgive me a jump, then a guy I know came and put a tester on the battery and said I needed a new battery. I then went and got a new battery from the Ford Dealership, my boyfriend put it in and the car wouldnt start so we towed it home. The next day the same guy that said my battery was bad came over and he has some testing equipment and said it's your solenoid on your starter, so I go and get a whole new starter, not just the solenoid and we put it in and the anti theft came on, so we had it towed to the ford dealer and they told us the new starter we bought was bad, so we changed the starter and put a new one in, the next morning the Ford dealer calls and says it has nothing to do with the anti theft, and said it has a bad ground somewhere and wanted another diagnostic fee...well everyone told me to just have it towed home if it's just a bad ground. I had it towed back home with the only changes being (new battery, new starter, and the anti-theft was off). As we were talking to the tow truck driver, we popped the hood and he said we had the ground from the battery to the starter mixed up, so my boyfriend fixed that the car still wont start. I went and picked up my Dad who used to build race motors and he brought a button to hook to the solenoid and battery and got it to start, but didnt want to stay running, so he said to put it on a slow charge and in the morning itll be good to go. Well we put the fully charged battery in and it started and shut off, then started again and gave it gas and it shut off again, tried a 3rd time and it made a noise like it was grinding. Then we took the starter off thinking it was catching the flywheel, we tested the starter off of the car and it worked, the battery is brand new from Ford, and the fly wheel looked good, so we put everything back in and we were back to square one w/ no click or crank. I was watching youtube videos and seen something about the inertia fuel emergency shutoff switch in the trunk, so I unplugged it and plugged it in and wiggled the wires and tried starting it about 3x and it clicks and it's trying very hard to crank over. SIDENOTE《The guy I bought it from in June said he messed with wiring in the trunk and that I could only open it with my key fob or the key, as the button on the dash as well as the emergency trunk release do not work due to him messing with the electrical in the trunk.》 I'm at a total loss because my Dad says he thinks its siezed, the Ford Dealer says they think it's a bad ground, and I personally think it's some sort of electrical/wiring, maybe a bad alternator, or possibly the second starter we got is bad. I has a guy reply in a post I made looking for a mobile mechanic and he came out in a beat up grand am and said he tried turning the motor by hand and it would go backwards but not foreward and said i needed a new motor, and it's been over a week and all I've gotten is excuse after excuse because I wasn't handing him the money over to go pull the motor, I told him my boyfriend will go with him or when he pulls it, I'd call and pay for it over the phone, so I was definitely going to get ripped off! PLEASE HELP, I go to school fulltime, I have a 3 year old daughter, and we are borrowing my boyfriends grandpas truck, and it isnt safe to put my daughter in and on top of it has barely any brakes, so I don't even want to drive it, and I am the only licence driver so I do all of the running around from doc appointments, grocery shopping, interviews... and I've already spun out twice in the truck and am terrified to drive it especially with rain and snow in our future! The car just rolled over 130k miles and drives like a Cadillac! Also have a 2005 Ford F250 Superduty 4x4 extended cab with 80k miles on it and the trailer break sensor is on and the breaks lock up on that. So either way we have 2 vehicles that have to be fixed, but just 1 working vehicle for now would be an absolute blessing

I can drive the car but it will idle very rough. The intake manifold looks like it's on right and the hoses seem to be connected right but I don't know how to find the leak. I didn't replace the gasket on the EGR. Could that be it? I have no idea. Any suggestions?

    I like your videos! One request if you have not already done it... Ford Focus SES Wisconsin car.. 2007 PVC replacement... If I have to I will remove the intake of the focus to replace the unit. Why did they put a maintenance in a bad place? Go figure... Here is my experience and why I thought it might be the PCV, I tried to start the car and it cranked and two plugs fired and shut down. Thinking; I decided to hold the pedal half way and hold; then crank; it worked but if I lifted my foot off the pedal it would stall. Started the unit again and let it run with the pedal depressed until it warmed up. I turned it off by letting go of the pedal as it stalled again. This is not a frozen car, it was in an attached garage but still somewhat cold. After coming back 15 minutes later the car started normally. Am I close to the failure or can you provide any other ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated! It seemed warming of the engine made the difference which led me to the PCV...

    • @FordTechMakuloco
      @FordTechMakuloco  10 лет назад

      I would take a real close look at the pcv tube full length of it for oil soaked and sucked in causing a massive vac leak and a stall. This was very common and it will get better as the engine warms up and the mixture naturally can lean out where as a cold start it must run rich. I have a video on what I am talking about, it is on a free star but the idea and failure is the same. Does it make a sucking sound and run horrible then die.

    • @curiosity2314
      @curiosity2314 10 лет назад

      FordTechMakuloco No, it sounded absolutely normal at part throttle and as soon as you let your foot off the pedal it would turn off without any attempt to try and keep running. Immediate shutdown. Four or five times driving after that the symptom never reappeared. Currently it is up on all fours in my garage for struts,springs, rotators and brakes. The engine is squeaky clean as I take care of it. Currently 70,000 miles on the car. I do have an inninova 3160b with no issues shown. Threw a code for the airbags and I did order a clock spring but have not replaced it yet. This airbag code comes and goes so your dielectric fix might solve it. Inninova although shows a high failure rate on the clock spring for the Focus. I have been watching allot of your videos because they are very good and I have enjoyed car repair for years, I will find the Free Star video but this seemed like something was stuck, once it sat for 15 minutes after warming up it started and operated normally.

    • @FordTechMakuloco
      @FordTechMakuloco  10 лет назад

      If it just died immediately but will continue to run great as longs as you manually keep the rpms up it can still be a large vac leak from the pcv system as vac leaks are not affected at higher rpms. From the way you are describing it it sounds like a sticking IAC. Has it happened since.

    • @curiosity2314
      @curiosity2314 10 лет назад

      FordTechMakuloco No it did not happen after that but it was not on the road much afterwards. Drove it about five times before before I put it up for the suspension. Interesting, Can the IAC be cleaned? Would this not throw a code if it were sticking? That is why I was after the PCV sticking open from the start and once it warmed up it freed? I knew I would get quite a vacuum loss with the PCV stuck and wanted to find an easier way then to remove the intake. I used to buy the manufactures service manuals for my cars but the cost sky rocketed. I'm subscribed to an online service but they just don't have the detail needed. Is the intake easier to remove then I think it is?

    • @FordTechMakuloco
      @FordTechMakuloco  10 лет назад +1

      Curiosity It is pretty easy but I don't think that is your problem. The pcv system is all metered air and would just adjust accordingly where as a vac leak is not metered so I don't think that is your problem. The IAC can be cleaned with throttle body cleaner.

    My 2005 Sable 3.0 Duratec is different from this. It has coil on boot and looks like there are more horses to disconnect. I gave up after trying for an hour. Such a pain in the ass to replace spark plugs.

    I could use some help trying to figure out if a fuel system is not working or why i am not getting a spark. Can you help some? I am working on my elderly friend and neighbor to get his car going so he can get rid of it since he can no longer drive. I have changed all plugs, fuel filter just after the tank. The car sat for about 3 years :(. No old fuel in it anymore that was old. Put about 2 gallons in so far (don't know if that is enough for the pump to fully work will put more in tomorrow). I am no mechanic or anything to diagnose just can fix what is known lol. Any help would be appreciated.

    hey great video. where can I find the fuel tank vent valve on this car? I cant fill my gas tank. It shuts off while fueling and spills fuel. I know the tank is not full. Someone told that it could be the charcoal canister or the fuel tank vent valve. I want to check my vent valve first but don't know where it is. Is it somewhere I I can get without a car jack?? Please help

    Question, how hard is it to replace the pcv tube, my mom got a quote from the dealer of $600 to replace it and re flash a modual, does this seem like a fair price on a 2003 taurus with the 3.0 D.O.H.C. Engine

    • @FordTechMakuloco
      @FordTechMakuloco  9 лет назад

      badranger2004 Tube or baffle under the lower intake? The tube can be removed with intake still on but I am sure they want to remove intake so for the dealer that price is about right. I would change it myself. Are you close to me in Illinois?

    • @ReclusiveMountainMan
      @ReclusiveMountainMan 7 лет назад

      Yes, figured that one out. I actually disconnected the EGR rather than the bracket that holds it to the intake manifold. Easy to accidentally drop the gasket down into the engine compartment if you aren't careful, but much easier for me to access those two bolts. I used a shop rag to prevent that from happening. Have to be careful of the fuel rail pressure sensor when re-installing the intake manifold.

      Thanks. I have replaced my spark plug and wires and changed the gaskets on the UIM. I still have a check engine light flashing and low coolant light. The code is P1504. I replaced the Idle Air Intake Valve as recommended by parts store. I am still having a rough idle problem and low coolant light even though there is plenty of coolant in the radiator. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    • @FordTechMakuloco
      @FordTechMakuloco  10 лет назад

      Low coolant light on these is almost always the sensor itself which I believe is part of the coolant bottle only. You much check all the vac lines to the intake especially the ones under the throttle body and the pcv elbow especially for a leak.
