How to change the spark plugs on a 2.0 EcoBoost engine without removing the high-pressure fuel pump. This may work with the Ford I4 2.0L engines that are in the Mustangs and Explorers too
Thank the good lord I found this video before going to do this on the wife's Edge. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Ford and all the automakers for coming up with new and inventive ways to screw the DIY'er. It makes us exercise our brains on how to get around their buffoonery.
Did you have any misfires from cylinder 4 or trouble connecting it? Tried doing this but can’t get the ignition coil to sit right on the last plug and it seems like that’s causing a misfire
OMG! Followed your awesome instructions and somehow cross threaded that difficult to get to plug going back in. It felt like it was going in without much resistance and when it became obvious it wasn't, about 6-7 threads from the bottom of the plug I took it out and walla. Two of the threads were mashed down around that 6th thread up. Guess I've got to tow it to the dealer tomorrow and hope they can chase the threads and it not wind up costing me an arm and a leg. Any idea if the head on the 2.0 is aluminum? Thanks, Don
I hope so. It’s weird how it didn’t mash any of the threads until I got to around the 6th thread. Thank God I stopped when I did and didn’t keep cranking it down. Thanks for the reply.
