Hi Renee, thank you for checking out my channel! you can do all of this with just hand tools (a good socket set and misc), you do not need expensive electric ratchets and impacts and such. But to answer your question, I like my simple 1/4" drive Dewalt impact. Good luck with getting it done!
Appreciate the video: about to do the same for the first time on my 2011. No intercooler for me so it will be a little easier. Do you have advice on how to find the tightening sequence pages in my model's factory service manual? Looking under Engine-Ignition System is only telling me about the spark plugs.
Thankyou for the instructional video. In your opinion could a oil leak onto the spark plugs cause misfires ?. I have a p0302 code, and have tried changing spark plugs, coils, fuel pump and fuel filter, fuel regulator, cleaned the MAF but the code keeps reappearing. Changing intank fuel regulator has deceased the petrol consumption although the spark plug still have a some oil on it (guessing cover gasket), the misfires seem to lessen when engine is upto temperature. I'm a amateur and learning to diy issues with my vehicle, thanks again 👍
Hi and thanks! Yes - an oil leak past the spark plug seals into the spark plug wells can 100% cause a misfire. I would correct the oil leakage problem around the spark plugs before trying anything else.
Question: What year is this Mazda CX-7 and does it have the common smokey issue when the car is idling on a stop or on parking? Did you replace the ventilation kit to resolve this issue? Thanks for your reply.
This work was completed on a 2008 CX-7 and no it did not have any smoking issues prior to this repair. I'm thinking your referring to the PCV system but we did not need to service this system at the time of the repair. Thanks for checking out my channel!
