Way back in the 80’s when I went to school, we were taught by the instructors to use a piece of rubber vacuum tubing placed over the end of spark plug if we couldn’t start by hand. Prevented the possibility of cross threading . Great video as usual. Thanx

@darrylschmidt704 2 года назад

Yep. That was what I was taught too. It works.

Thanks for the great video Brian! I like how you show how to blast out all the dust and debris with the compressed air I've been doing it that way too since day one. I work at a shop and the boyz make fun of me for doing those little things but it's those important steps that make a spark plugs change successful!

@Sara-oo7er 6 лет назад

Great video! Considering doing this myself with some replacement NGK or Motorcraft plugs. I had a local mechanic I trust replace my plugs on my 2006 Ford Escape (2.3L 4x4 with 242k miles) a few thousand miles ago; used Autolite iridiums from Napa. I just recently started noticing the slightest amount of...hard to describe, but very minute loss of power or similar while cruising at speed on the highway-no indications on the tach or speed, just a feeling of slight slip. I'm not sure if the old Escape is starting to head down the path of failure, or if it is just the coils-they are likely the original. My mechanic found the valve cover gasket leaking when he did the plugs and fixed that too (110k miles since I had it fixed doing the plugs the first time back in 2011 after I bought it used). I would love to keep this car going towards 300k: it's been the most faithful vehicle I've ever owned. I do the oil changes myself every 3-5k with full synthetic oil and a Motorcraft filter, but fell behind on the tranny drain and replace...went 70k between doing so. Gradually doing the drain and replace over several thousand miles to try to ease the old car into newer tranny fluid.

@kennycybertron1 5 лет назад

@tfriesen3866 8 месяцев назад

@jackdough8164 2 года назад

What is recommended to clean out the area/spark plug if you don’t have access to an air compressor?

@MustangsTrainsMowers Год назад

Two years ago I had to replace the coil in my 2009 Ranger 2.3. I was replacing the plug wires also but the sleeve at the end of one plug wire broke off and stuck on the top of the plug and that was a pain to remove. I had to use an extra long needle nose pliers to get it off. My 2011 2.3 Ranger has 193,000 miles and I’m guessing the original plugs since it had 60,000 miles when I bought it.

@WhereHasMySanityGone Год назад

Just tried to replace the plugs on my son's 2012 Fusion 2.5L (just bought it used 162k) and ran into two very top rusted inner plug tubs. Outside two were fine, inside two were so rusted we couldn't get the socket to seat on the top of the plug so cleaned the coil boot and didnt mess with the plug. The rust in both inner tubs were dry so from what we could see nothing lese inside either tube was wet, so not sure if the water/coolant leak is still active. Anyone idea on what might have caused it also suggestion on getting the plugs out without creating a real mess and a more expensive repair. Not looking to pull the head off or crazy like that.

@SkateSpace2012 Год назад

Did buy a Escape 2005 xlt 2.3 here in Bali, Indonesia, did found DENSO K20PR-U copper spark plugs .(just 1$ here:) Your recommended Motorcraft SP 541 are not available here. Did buy Mazda (Tribute) iridium plugs (Made by NGK).

@brat997 6 лет назад

I'm curious why you specifically recommend Nickel based anti-seize lube. Why not Aluminum or Copper based? Permatex anti-seize products are labelled with the following recommendations/suggested applications: Permatex Cu - Spark plug threads installed in aluminum Permatex Al - Suggested Applications: For easy removal of spark plugs, cylinder head and exhaust head bolts; Permatex Ni - Suggested applications: Exhaust manifold bolts, exhaust system bolts, muffler clamps and tailpipe assemblies; For use with stainless steel, titanium and nickel alloys They don't mention spark plugs for the Nickel based lube. Can you explain why you recommend the Ni and not Al or Cu. Thank you.

@julieward42731 3 года назад

what was the plug part number you recommended- I know you had mentioned to put only Motorcraft ones back in. THNKS

@user-dn8fp7ol5z 2 года назад

The part number for the 2010 to 2012 Fusion 2.5L I4 is Motorcraft SP-530 those are the OEM and best plugs to stick with

@ESPLTD322 4 года назад

I’ve noticed with Ford they cut engines displacement in half a lot. Is it just coincidence, or done on purpose for modularity? 2.0L I4 to 4.0L V6 2.3L I4 to 4.6L V8 2.5L I4 to 5.0L V8 2.7L V6 to 5.4L V8 3.0L V6 to 6.0L V8 (even though it’s diesel)

@michealpopplewell3894 4 года назад

Probably because a lot of manufacturers use “square” or over square engines where the bore and stroke are similar. The 2.0, 2.3, and 2.5 are the same block and basically the same engine

@geoffreybrymer8979 5 лет назад

Do the spark plugs on a 2.3 or 2.5 use crush washers or are they just tapered? My new motorcraft plugs did not come with new crush washers.

@marctec86 7 лет назад

Any reason why the dielectric grease should be specifically Motorcraft? Also Isn't that an excessive amount? looks like it's covering the whole coil, I thought its not suppose to cover the resistor and mostly just apply small layer to the side walls.

@FordTechMakuloco 7 лет назад

+Mark the coil boots are hollow all the excess goes up into the coils spring and a light layer remains it works out perfect. You can use any dielectric grease.

@baxrok2. 7 лет назад

Brian, I just bought a 2011 2.5 with 58kmi. All four plugs are seized to the point where I can't even turn them a quarter turn. I've soaked with penetrant and carb choke cleaner for days, but still no luck. Any tips or advice on how to overcome this without pulling out the threads? Thanks.

@FordTechMakuloco 7 лет назад

Now that is just wild are you using a 1/2 ratchet? These plugs have very long threads so lots of area to gum up. Besides soaking them the only thing I can think of is inductive heat.

@baxrok2. 7 лет назад

1/2 ratchet? No, I'm using my standard 3/8 because it feels like the threads are being torn out with every mm I turn them! lol Plus they all make that sickening squeaking sound. In all my years of working on cars, never seen anything like it. Thanks for the tips.

QUESTION: please, I have searched and searched but cannot seem to find one standard answer (the answers vary from .54 -. 60) What is the OEM recommended Spark Plug GAP for my Focus zx3 with a Ford 2.3L Duratec Engine? The hood was replaced from an accident so I have no engine sticker to refer to. I purchased Motorcraft SP492X that are pre-set at .54 but I don't want to install them if incorrectly gapped. Thank you

@stephendutton1284 6 лет назад

My Milan has 110K miles on it. Is it worth it to just go ahead and replace the coils as well as the plugs - (using all Motorcraft parts)? What would I gain? Price is not much of a consideration for me.

@kennycybertron1 5 лет назад

Stephen Dutton I would say yes, replace them all now ...a little preventative maintenance to ensure no future failures of the old parts....better fuel economy too

@pappagiorgio1675 6 лет назад

@salaciouscrumb9443 5 лет назад

They have DIY bleeder kits for like $3 at AutoZone and Walmart. Just stick the hose in and suck the oil into a plastic jug. I however found this out too late, I used a screwdriver and shop towels. Just soak up all oil before removing the spark plugs.

@alb12345672 8 лет назад

not spark plug related, but I had a CCRM smoke out (on a Thunderbird, Mustang, Taurus similar), took it apart(its riveted) and the low speed fan output pin and pad are burnt. Ran Fan actuator test and only high speed fan works, but low speed fan relay clicks and if I jumper the pin on the CCRM PCB the fan runs. Planning on resoldering. I did a current draw test on the fan direct to vbatt and low is about 9 amps high about 11. I'm wondering if the old fan could have taken out the CCRM or it may have been just bad solder on the CCRM. It was a used unit, original one had trouble powering fuel pump. Can't really get them new. I noticed the temp gauge would get a bit hotter, obvious that the high speed fan was kicking in at higher temps. The fan works fine when jumpered, but I'm thinking maybe it should be replaced.

@FordTechMakuloco 8 лет назад

Those ccrm modules fail all the time. Ford doesn't offer them anymore and Dorman?

@alb12345672 8 лет назад

standard auto parts has some remans, they are like $150., Reviews are bad, seems it is pot luck which version you get (some are just single speed. Then there is used, likely from a very high mileage car (no junkyards where I am). Going to rebuild mine with extra parallel wires going to the pins. Have a spare too with some good relays. The failure on mine was likely bad solder.

@yqwgjsg 8 лет назад

Question.... I notice you put dielectric grease inside the boot which forces it up onto the spring inside. There is some controversy concerning this since dielectric grease is designed to prevent current flow. I have started to put it on the porcelain of the plug and the outside of the tip of the boot as well as a thin coat on the outside of the boot to prevent any spark trace from forming in the future from moisture or dirt. I try to keep it away from the electrode on the end of the plug. What are your thoughts?

@FordTechMakuloco 8 лет назад

+Hammer0f Thor it is absolutely fine to put it on the coil even new coils from Ford come with dielectric grease on them. I have done this thousands of times by now and never a concern.

@yqwgjsg 8 лет назад

+FordTechMakuloco Yea I've done it for 40 years too until I got to thinking what dielectric grease was made for. Just doesn't make sense to put insulating grease between the plug electrode and the plug wire contact. Maybe I did have a bad plug wire that wasn't a bad plug wire. I'll always use dielectric but I see no reason to get it on the conductive surfaces.

@snowblind5151 6 лет назад

Should the electrode have space in between the pug tip ? Or is it supposed to cap the plug metal to metal?

Do you have a video about replacing the pcv valve on the 3.0l v6 in the escapes?

@FordTechMakuloco 8 лет назад

No videos but they are fairly simple.

I certainly didn’t trust the torque specs. Just gave it a bit more like you showed.

What brand air blow gun was that?

@FordTechMakuloco 8 лет назад

Mine is just a "tool shop" Menards brand it works great with the slender tip.

My wife's 2000 mercury cougar sticker under the hood states that the spark plug gap be 0.052- 0.056, the autostore states it be 0.052, what would be the difference if I gap them 0.056?

Spark plug torque?

@darkwing73 3 года назад

What is the torque spec for the spark plug?

@darkwing73 3 года назад

In foot pounds? Is it 11 ft-lbs?

@kennethcohagen9037 8 лет назад

Do you ever index these plugs?

@FordTechMakuloco 8 лет назад

+Kenneth Cohagen I have never indexed plugs on a stock engine no

@kennethcohagen9037 8 лет назад

+FordTechMakuloco I know there are benefits on race engines, but could there be any adverse effects if the ground electrode faces the intake in these engines? Any other position probably would hurt anything with 4 valves per cylinder.

@FordTechMakuloco 8 лет назад

Nothing adverse no

Hello, I just found your channel, great videosWhat model air blow gun are you using?

@gearsbetweenears 3 года назад

Dielectric grease is non conductive. You just smeared it all over where it plug electrode contact will be made.

@FordTechMakuloco 3 года назад

Just a little bit same a Ford does with new ignition coil, I could squirt a full tube of dielectric grease in there and it wouldn't affect it one bit.
