Nice job! Short and sweet presentation. Just the facts ma'am! I'm a retired mechanic of 45 years in the trades. I spent 35 with Mercedes Benz. Some guys like the sound of their own voice and think KZfaq videos are acting auditions. They are not. You got right to the point and sped up the stuff that doesn't require explanation. I'd give you a 10 out of 10 just because I have to do this job on my own Dodge Grand Caravan and dread even touch cars after I retired. I'm inspired. Thanks for the great presentation.

Use a laser pointer for those dark areas and/or put some light on the dark areas and then take a long screwdriver and rest the tip where the bolts/screws are and easy to see. Had a hard time figuring out where some of those bolts were because you can't clearly see them. However, still a good video.

Great video! A couple pointers(you probably know already). 1- When putting in a bolt or sparkplug, turn it backwards slowly until it clicks and seats into the threads properly. This is especially helful on plastic, wood and fine threads when cross threading is more likely. 2-When you are installing a bunch of fasteners, like you are in the intake runner, start all bolts and nuts then go back and tighten them. This makes it easier to get the last bolts lined up.

Thank YOU very much for making this video. It saved me a pile of money that I didn't have at the moment. My wife informed me when I got home yesterday that her van was shuddering and the check engine light was on. I hooked up my Autel code reader and used the van to take the kid to work. I was getting a misfire on cylinder 6 so I figured I would start with sparkplugs. Couldn't find them so I went on KZfaq and found your excellent video. Everything was as you showed and the sparkplugs were very eroded so I went to NAPA after work today got sparkplugs and installed them and the van works well again. Got everything back together with no parts left over. Van has over 155,000 miles and I am thinking the plugs were original.

This was beautifully done. You are one of the few that I have seen that takes the sensible step of covering the intake ports. It just so happens that I know the dumb idiot that dropped a bolt down into a '99 Windstar port during a port seal replacement. I wished my father never met my mother that day! I finally got it out with a magnet but it was a chore. Anyway, it was a great video and I look forward to more.

That's a misfire code correct? Typically, I will swap a coil pack from a different cylinder and run the car to ser if code switches to another cylinder. If it switches then I know I can probably just buy a new coil pack. If it doesn't then I know maybe I only need to by new spark plugs. I do that if I am trying to save a bit of money and/or time.

I owned my dodge grand caravan for about 30,000 miles now or a year and half... This van... I am used to easy replacable parts, like change all 4 brake pads on my mercury cougar v8 in less than 10 minutes, replace the alternator in 6 minutes, replace the starter in 8 minutes, replace the serpentine belt in 2 minutes... on the Ford v8's that I have owned. But I bought a dodge caravan... It took me a span window over days... about 5 total hours, but spanned over days. Just to replace the starter that I could have done in 8 minutes on any of my ford/mercury v8/v10... (spanned over days because of heavy rain that I still continued to work in).

The ability to reliably self perform maintenance on your own car should be a requirement for manufacturers to target. They make items unnecessarily complicated to access haha

Just bought my van at 109,000 miles and it's missing that sound-deadening foam under the front of the intake; and that first plastic plug you pulled shows signs of having had pliers on it. So, without even removing anything to inspect the plugs I'm wondering if they've already been done. Engine runs fine, I was just doing it due to maintenance schedule.

You could always wait until a random misfire code to change the plugs. Only item that would be hard to diagnose is any negative impact to gas mileage, but probably negligible in most cases

How do you get the sensor off? I feel like I'm pulling pretty hard and might break something
@EngineeredMojo
@EngineeredMojo Жыл бұрын
It shouldn't be that hard. Maybe try rocking the sensor slightly back-and-forth to loosen up the connection of any grit. Now the knob type clamp that holds on the intake is a bit stubborn 😣 those are the black insert clamps I removed after taking off intake sensor

Done, so far no P0305 code. Hopefully it holds that way- fingers crossed. I didn’t change wires, since I realized it doesn’t really have them like my last car. Thanks for the video, good detail. Hardest 2 parts for me was getting that air manifold back on those pins, and getting the spark plug socket out. I ended up taking the plug back out and taking the rubber out of the socket.

Very nice video, do the spark plugs have to be gapped or are they ready to install out of the package? Thanks
@EngineeredMojo
@EngineeredMojo 10 ай бұрын
The spark plugs in the video were pre gapped. If not pre gapped you'll need to gap them. But most spark plugs nowadays are pre gapped from the manufacturer, but you can always verify when removing from the box

These were pre-gapped. Spark plug will vary by year but when you purchase online from a vendor they'll state the pre gap that you can verify once you physically have plugs
