About to tackle this on my wife’s car. Thanks for the video. Probably going to replace the coils while I’m at it if I’m going through all that trouble. Terrible design just to replace the plugs.

I literally just finished working on mine. Had it not been for one of the 10mm bolts on the manifold being seized up, I would've finished sooner. Took me about 8 hours (had to make a few trips to the Auto Parts store.) But this video was a BLESSING! Thank you guys for taking the time to make it. It was step by step, and I watched it as I worked on my car. Taking everything apart took longer, but reassembling everything was a breeze, but I couldn't have done it without this video - so huge thanks again!

The best in ten videos of the same subject I wathched on youtube!

Great video guys! I would recommend to go ahead and change the coil packs as well while you've got the top of the motor torn apart, especially if you're getting a misfire code. Realize it's an added expense so depends on your situation. Well done!

So you pretty much have to disassemble everything under the hood to change the valves

I actually had a 09 Nissan Sentra, after watching this video, I'm glad I didn't try. Before that, I had an 02 Dodge Neon, I changed the spark plugs without a problem. But it's like a lot of these newer vehicles, they don't want you doing nothing by yourself.

Just did my plugs at 165K, did it before around 100k, the sparks were pretty damn nasty this time around, and will need to replace the valve cover gasket as oil was on the spark threads this could be why for all those running high mileage, engine runs much better with the new plugs, you will become expert at pulling this silliness apart in record time working on this MR20DE engine

Very helpful. Made changing my friends plugs a breeze, had I not dropped the throttle body bolt down the right side of the engine bay.

such a horrible design. whats the point of putting the intake manifold on top of the spark plugs?

Thank you. This helped me step through the process on my 2009 cube. Excellent.

My daughter has the same car . Changing the plugs has been intimidating. not like my toyota easy I will save this video going to change the gaskets and I might do the coils also. .I like the video make it look easy gonna take the plunge definitely before winter hits.

damn i feel like nissan did that on purpose for sentra owners...on an altima they're exposed right after that cover is off

Thanks a lot, very fast and accurate job you did. Thanks again and God bless, Mike

Great job guys, thanks so much for the help!!

Dam no wonder I got a vacuum leak thank you guys, please upload everything you do on Nissan Sentras 09 and up lol

Great informational and well done easy to listen to would like to add a couple of things. One: Its important that you don't over tighten the plugs especially with aluminum heads it stretches the threads and they my break next time you try to remove them. Finger tighten then torque to approximately 7 to 15 lb. ft. for 14mm threads and 15 to 20 lb. ft. for 18mm threads. Two I am a firm believer in anti seize, having dissimilar metals(aluminum heads combined with steel spark plugs) can cause galvanic corrosion and the plugs will seize in the hole. Again thanks for the video.

good jobs guys very helpful

Great video! Great shot and good pacing. (This video is pretty much spot on for a Qashqai J10, as well. Same engine)

Thanks for the video. Help me to finish faster. Just a little scary when starting the car because it had an erratic idling. I suppose the computer adjusted after a couple minutes.

great step by step video.

good job, very helpful

After 133.000 miles on a 07 Nissan Sentra, I changed the spark plugs and sp coils. I really don't feel too much of a difference. There's no misfire or nothing wrong with it, but I expected some more horespower or better gas mileage. Oh well don't hurt if I changed it.

I give this a great thumbs up I did my moms in about 1 he and 1/2 buuuuut and I mean but I was left with 1 bolt like wth, lol but it was the 5th bolt under the throttle body lol helped out a lot thanks 👍👍👍

Have you ever done tune ups on v6s . Or the toyota 3.5l for example you have to take off the intake manifold every time .

Buen video, me gustó

thank you guys

Man... what an absurd design... Excellent video though! Thanks!

What size spark plug stock did you use?

Now that I'm at it...i'll change the motor too.

where did you get the parts from?

No need to remove the coolant lines from the throttle body.

And also . You can swap the coil packs around . They dont have to go back on the cylinder they came off of ...

What is the key number you used to remove the spark plugs 13 ot 16

If you remove the throttle body, will it lose the config in it? If yes, how i reprogram? I know that, cleaning definitely will lose programation.

What type of coils did you use??

good vid

Good video but suggesting a die grinder to clean the mating surface of the head! That is an aluminum machined surface. Don't grind or chisel or scrape at that.

That's a lot of work just to change spark plugs.

Do you have to do the relearn for the throttle body?

My intake manifold won’t go back on I keep trying to line up the holes and can’t figure out why they won’t line up

wow, guess its good they can go 100k (or more) what a pain.

2014 Toyota Corolla spark plugs 10 min job 2012 nissan sentra spark plugs 2hour to 5 hour job.

In hindsight, how essential was it to disconnect all the tubing?

I had to use a 14 millimeter socket for spark plugs.

thanks for that, any idea of torque specs for the plugs or the intake manifold bolts?

no torque specs?

Who knew it’s time to trade in car rather than change the spark plugs? Had a 1979 Chevy Monza Spyder Sport Coupe with the 305 V-8. Had to loosen motor mounts and jack up the engine to change those plugs. Didn’t know Nissan hired all the old chevy engineers.

So much for KISS engineering

And i though replacing them on my Golf was tough

Does anyone know if this would be the same process for a 2010 Nissan sentra??

I put it all back together and P0507 code came up

Easy

I replaced my plugs and coils and it started for a minute and died now it won’t start

Why are you wearing sunglass bud?

aight i gotta sell the whole car now

the same thing for the batteries of the i phone and the new samsung you cannot change them yourself

". . .so I know you're probably thinking. . ." Nope. What I'm thinking is why are you wearing sunnies indoors? Moving on... Excellent vid, good visuals with detailed commentary. Best I've seen thus far. Good job ! Regarding music, background or foreground: Not required on an instructional vid. The music is a distraction. I much prefer to hear the actual sounds while the work is being done; I find this far more engaging. Also, what if you play music that viewers don't like? I theorise one reason for music on so many YT vids, that the generation after me grew up with computer and console games that come with music soundtracks while playing. The most illogical for me is music tracks for car games. I don't wanna listen to music while driving, virtual or reality, I wanna hear the motor, the exhaust and any squealin' of the tyres. And finally, though sadly it's been a part of western culture for over 20 years, "guys" is a male term, not female. So whenever someone welcomes viewers with 'hey guys', I'm thinking , don't you think girls are watching or you don't acknowledge them. "Folks, viewers, YTers", etc, there's plenty of other terms to use that includes both genders.

beware of tightening the spark plugs too much (over 19.6 Nm). The cylinder head may crack

Cooperation with Renault shows signs. The most idiotic system, I have never seen such a thing in another car brand.

They used the cheap engineers to design this one... spark plugs buried under the manifold. Smh

Nissan garbage we got suckered once with the CVT trans failure never again this will be the last & final sparkplug replacement.

I wouldn't buy a nissan car anymore

Very very bad design. Shame to Japanese. Changing spark plugs should be only 2 steps removing coils and removing spark plugs. It looks like looking for a treasure...

I saw the video was 15 minutes, due my inexperience I assumed i could do it in 20 min, now I'm going to be late to work and posibly will have to call an UBER. 😭

Everything good except step one. Just be careful and ALWAYS disconnect the POSITIVE terminal first. Keep the battery grounded (negative is ground). Try not to touch the positive wire on metal as it possibly could be holding some charge after you disconnect it.
