The coils are exactly the same and it doesn't matter in which order they go in. It's a good habit to always use some lube on the threads. A lot of the spark plug gapping tools do have notches in them so you can adjust the gap and it's always a good idea to go with the factories recommendations.
I have a question, I'm going to be putting in new spark plugs and ignition coils on my 12 Galant. Do my coils go in a certain order because I'm assuming you can just get a box a 4 and just install them?
You may have a sticker on the underside of the hood with a spec also, check that and see it says the same. Depending on the year and engine you have and the spark plug design and the manufacturer, you may not be able to adjust them. If you got NGK or Denso, they are usually good to go and install.
i am not trying to tell you how to do your job or what to do. in my expernce i have NEVER had a spark plug get seized into an alum head when the plugs have bin changed when they are sapose to be! the only time i have had them break or seize is when the OWNER of the car or truck only changes the plugs when they become a problem. yes i work in a GM dealership, yes i do see them at lower milage but i also see them all the time between 100k and 160k km's, and we do recommend they change the plugs sooner then 160k km's simply for fuel eco, better burning of the fuel which is good for the convertors/emissions. Anyways plug the never seize if you want it CAN cause issues with random misfires under load, you wont feel them but it will burn up your converter!
I just replaced the plugs on my 2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES & the car is now smoking from the tailpipe. I did not go back with the original NGK Iridium spark plugs. I used the NGK Platinum spark plugs. Did you experience smoking after doing the install & starting the vehicle? Possibly an oil change? ⚠️NEED HELP ⚠️ T.I.A.
no we did not have any smoking, did oil perhaps get into the cylinders while the plugs were out? otherwise finding out if it is oil or coolant is burning, if the smoke went away then you may have just had some buildup in the cylinders, if it is continuing to smoke, make sure the valve cover and spark plugs seals didn't get damaged somehow or also check the pcv system for clogging.
@@APDTY the smoke has gone away. When I pulled the coil packs out, there was dried oil on them. & On the 3&4 cylinder plugs, they were COVERED with oil. I wiped the coil packs clean & replaced the plugs. Again, the smoke has gone away.
@@alyshapeacock2361 if they have oil on them, there’s a 90% chance your o-ring gaskets are bad. Your plugs should be as dry as the desert. If you don’t very much care for the car. Absolutely, you can clean them off & throw them back in.
We made a mistake in this video. NGK spark plugs and most likely all newer cars should not have anti-sieze used on the spark plug threads. We will re-do this video as soon as possible.
