Well done video, informative and entertaining, even the camera angles were great. I plan to change my plugs soon and this video will help me greatly.

Thanks for showing what all is involved with this job. Good video

Still helpful in 2021, thank you for taking the time!

Man you're preaching to the choir. My vans a 2000 and I did a plug replacement when I bought it in 2001 and am just now replacing plugs and coils. Use good parts and they'll give you a hundred thousand miles with hardly any fails. Do NOT use cheap coils. I tried using a set I got for 40 bucks on line and one by one they're failing. Looks cold where u are. Good video guy.

Great Video, THANKS! Helped me a LOT. Wow that's a knuckle-buster of a job, standing on a box up to your shoulders, the plugs are in the most awkward positions. Have plenty of different lengths and swivels extension ratchets to help find an angle to get on the nuts and plugs. Did the front first, the plugs are a mess, maybe original. That cleared all the codes, it's running great. Next we'll do the back when we can face it.

I just ordered a kit with 8 coils and 8 Motorcraft plugs off Amazon for $88.00 now I just got to put them in🎉

Thanks for the info Brad, no picnic for sure. Always good to see how much other people have to work around things before poppin yer own hood, like the green connector ;-) All in all not as much of a pain in the ass as I thought it would be. I've seen some tubage where the plugs snap off, no Bueno, but from what you did it doesn't seem like that's a probability if you take your time and maybe cuss at it instead of roughin them up. All in all, all things are possible. Job well done!

Hey Sr. Thanks for share with us your knowledge, on this issues.

Thank you for Explaining how to do this Lots of Information now I’m going to be doing mine tomorrow on my E250 2004

Thank you Sir, for passing on your tips and experience. This is what I am needing to do to my bread and butter service van. Thank you agian.

I love it! 75% labor 25% cussing. I'm the same way. But more like 65% flavor 35% cussing. Excellent editing.

All I need to do is a coil on Cyl 2 coil but I'm a lousy computer guy and apprehensive. This gives me some peace of mind. I gotta go in with patience. Lots and lots of patience. Thanks.

Thank you so much. The video was great and instructional. Did my first tune up on my e250 2004. The ignition coils were some what easy to come out. Only 2 gave me problem getting out. But with patience all can be done. Thank you once again.

Great video. informative, very concise and to the point...Thanks!!!

Thanks man, very well explained and very helpful.

Excellent info. Thanks for only smoking on the *other* end of the engine away from the fuel leak

You made a good video thank you. I miss the old days when there were no coils.

Your video was very informative, THANK YOU.

I hate working on these style engines. Access and room to work > : ( Great video! Currently 29 terds voted "thumbs down" - unbelievable.

Excellent video I just bought a E150 thanks !!!

This is a super helpful video. Thank you for the detail and info!!

Great job.Keep up the good work

I just hate it when the fockin' di-electric grease finds a dang hiding spot and won't frickin' come out ... funniest part that your good friend filmed for this video..... educational AND humorous !!!

Old video but very helpful as I still own this type of van. Thank you!

I was removing some rust while doing this and the metal coolant line from under the intake manifold started leaking from passing a metal brush over it, these trucks and all my Fords in fact had rust issues..

From Miami:Thank you for the video...Miguel

Thanks bro I really needed this video

Reason why I would have enjoyed seeing good work

Good Job. Very well explained. I'm giving you 5 STARS

very helpful, thanks for explaining it well

Great video , don’t forget to replace that leaky injector, very dangerous .

This video was Great! Thank you. You had GREAT video work! and very good information with out stupid BS. I have watched a few of these youtube repair videos. Brad, this one was by far the most informative. GOOD JOB. Thank you. I wish somebody would just make an entire video library, i would pay for it. I hope you get some reimbursement for your efforts and good useful information.

Nice job, I have 04 e250 cylinder #2 needs a coil

Thanks Brad. Super clearly explained. Just bought a 2004 E150 and had the dealer diagnose a misfire (figured it was coils/plugs, but wanted to confirm before diving in). Got quoted ~$1000 to replace!! Definitely going to do myself. Videos like this are a lifesaver for teaching DIYers like me. So much appreciated. Any advice on which coils, lube and/or dielectric grease to use? Cheers!

When I put my coil back on if I click it on the plug I cannot get the bolt holes to line up because I have to pull it up a little to get the plastic bolt flange on top of the mounting hole. Then it releases so it’s not clicked in. Didn’t seem like it was clicked in when I removed the old plug. Maybe I need a new coil? I was getting code for misfire cylinder 3

very well done. very descriptive and is very well appreciated.

Thanks, great explanation!

I need all the 2003 E250 videos I can get! Injectors next!

Great job big help thank you

It is probably a good idea to clean the area before removing the coils and spark plugs. I also use pressure air to blow out the spark plug well and put a shop vac on it. The valve cover gasket needs to be replaced too. Otherwise, it is pointless to change the spark plugs and coils.

Ron williams whi is a specialist with ford heads does lots work on them says Denso brand coils are the only ones that have not returned with misfires, recommends those over lo cost offshore units

Hey Bud! Needed some motivation :) 3rd time diving into this and it only raises my "hate" for engineers that make doing this so !#$%#^@$%^%#!@#$ hard! Just wanted to throw in that having the Stanley 82-115 Pick and Hook Set, 4/Set comes in real handy when the boot separates, which at least 1, guaranteed, will. Not sure on the exact size socket, but it's one that will fit snugly over the boot piece still attached to the plug. A few twists back and forth will loosen it, then you can use whichever hook you feel comfy with. The U hook can get the job done fairly easy, just run that down the side of the porcelain, between it and the boot, and when it hits the nut of the sparkplug, give it a twist to create some space. Then push it down a little more past the end of the broken boot, twist again so the point goes under the boot, then just pull up. It should easily hook the broken end and pull it out. Also want to add having the ODB2 MX+ reader is a huge help with the various engine codes. It comes with it's own software, but you can get the version of Forscan you may want or need. I found that using the Android version with my phone gives me so much more info on what's going on. Several widgets for all the engine sensors can be monitored to see what's happening. If you really want to get geeky with it, you can record a trip. See how much more efficient each grade of fuel is vs. the miles. Or if you tow, what can you expect to get from a full tank. While my 2004 E350 is capable of doing the E85, I get almost less than half the performance and miles than going with just regular unleaded. So not worth saving a few cents per gallon only to need 2-3 times the amount of fuel for the same distance. You can also clear the codes, some auto stores do this for free, but so much more easy to do right there in your garage or driveway. One way to see if the codes come back. I know this video was from 5 years ago, but if maintained, the Econoline's can get handed down quite a few time and still be a great workhorse. So this video is still relative.

Did you blow out the debris before replacing the plugs? Also heard these plugs should be over torqued to 25 lb . How are the new coils holding up? any links?

Great video Thank you .. quick Question : did you fix the oil leak before changing the plugs and coils?

I have a 99 e 350 Triniton engine and had plugs blow our of heads 2 x Due to ford head designed with only 4 threads total for plugs. So might want to tighten plugs to Specifications To prevent comming loose.

I have found my spirit animal

Great job. How do I fix the lock on ghe driver door ? The key on the outside won't unlock the door I have to go in the passenger side?

Can’t wait for the electric car repair videos to pop up

Bought e250,put all 8 coil packs on.4 years later, same problem. major auto parts only lasted 4 years

FYI, good to blow out plug well in cylinder head BEFORE removing plug in case anything got down in hole

*thanks for the tips*

I need to replace my injectors in my '98 E250, along with replacing the plugs and coils. Do you have any videos for the fuel rails?

Goot job broos andersten litle you job is goot an explaid

Thank you sir!!!

Any fluids on the coil boot can short coil resulting in a misfire Old cracked coil boots also cause misfires Fuel leaking into coil boot is a bomb waiting to happen

Had a coil in cyl. 8 replaced at a Ford dealership 2 weeks ago. $391. I'm just to old to mess with it.

Thank you 👍🏼

How did you get that danged green clip off? I cannot get mine to unhitch!

That was good!!!

Question did you have to remove the fuel rain in order to get the coil pack and plugs out ?

My friend I have 2005 250 Ford cargo van 4.6 liter v 8 ingine issue with hard to start in cold winter morning with white smoke then 5 min run normal please help me

How much were the coils

Thanks bros!

Did you clean the oil out of that first cylinder?

9:35 much needed comic relief

Why would you use pliers to pull out the COPs? They are much easier to remove by hand. Also rather than buying a specific 5/8" spark plug socket, you can just reinsert a COP after you've loosened the plug and pop it back onto the plug to easily remove it

Pretty sure this is exactly how to work on an e250... cigarette in hand

Thank you

Tight is tight but too tight is loose... That's a classic. Real rich! 😂

Can you show a hello coil replacement

Thanks

So what might be the issue if I swap out everything and then turn it on and it runs for about 30 seconds then shuts off

inst oil on plug=bad piston rings or valves?

Do I have to take off fuel rail ??

Every kinda grease except DIE-AH-FUKN-LECTRIK grease!!! Lol been there man

Awesome content!! Thank you brother!! Frickin hilarious too!! Lol!!👍 ( every fukn kinda grease known to man?? ) I say the same kind of shit he said!! 😂😂😂

How much does this job cost at a shop?

God bless

Can bad coils drain the battery?

F that ill do the transmission oil but this looks like it will be too annoying

How do I tell if I have a 2valve or 3valve 5.4?

How long do coils last generally?

Cant you to my whers location # 5 misfire on 5.4

You did real good not for nothing why did you not fix that gas leak

What engine is this?

Value cover gaskets

Blow out the spark plugs wells with compressed air. BEFORE you take the spark plugs. You don't want debri going into those wells.

Where you located?

Valve gaskets needs to be replace this will happen again

Henry ford would be ashamed,the Ford engineers were on mushrooms stacked with methamphetamine when they designed these engines..

Duralast coils sure are cheaper than motorcraft

Head gasket needs to be replace spark plug is going to get flooded again

Your valve cover gaskets are leaking oil into your spark plug wells. You need to replace the gasket s or you will just have another mis fire.

Better change those head gaskets… you have enough oil soaking your plugs to ruin your engine..just made more double work for the near future. Better to yank the engine because the previous owner jacked it up.

First one is cylinder #5. Not 2

I thought number 2 was in the passenger side

I recommend always using a torque wrench set at 25 foot/pounds on Ford 5.4 plugs.

No smoking while you are working on car It is not safety man

What a waste of my time
