Appreciate the video. Pretty simple DIY vs paying $200 for somebody else

Couple of extra points here. Please blow out your engine before you remove any of the coils or spark plugs. Second do them one at a time just in case you have dirt falling into a cylinder when you're not looking. When replacing the spark plugs don't use a power tool to tighten the spark plugs initially. Tighten them by hand. Its very difficult to cross thread a cylinder head when turning by hand. After your are sure that the thread are not cross threaded tighten them any way you want. Personally I would finish tighten them by hand.

Blow out ?

@brandonhooker4498 2 жыл бұрын

@@dalegribble4308 yeah with compressed air, blow off all the dirt and debris from the engine surface as well as anything in the spark plug well that may have dropped in after removing the coil. It should always be blown out prior to removing the spark plug to ensure no dirt or debris gets directly into the cylinder while the plug is out.

So tightening by hand is very difficult with the depth of the hole. Are you saying by using a tool and not an electric tool?

I like to buy milwaukee tools. but I have lots of different brands, craftsman, husky, milwaukee, etc - the best tool is the one that gets the job done right - I recommend shopping at lowes or home depot, they have great quality tools, and of course can't forget harbor freight tools.

Ford Focus 2016 2.0L Flex fuel engine my engine light went off and scan tool at Auto Zone said P0300 which means change plugs and or coils . I changed the plugs and check engine light went off seemed to run better . It was stalling / lagging when accelarating . That was 2-3 weeks ago and now noticed some of that old stalling / lagging came back and light engine came back on . Had it scanned again at O Reillys and says same thing . Woman there says a tune up and I told her I just did one . She says disconnect battery for ten minutes which will reset computer .. I did that for fifteen minutes and the same engine light still on . Any help be appreciated

Change the coils and then reset the battery again

If that didn't work with the reset then it might be a faulty fuel pump issue. See this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMuFg5md367LZZ8.html

As part of a tune-up, you should also be cleaning the throttle body and replacing the air intake filter as well as replacing the PCV valve, which are known for causing fuel delivery issues in the Mk3 Focus. Should run like a top after as long as there isn’t a ton of carbon buildup on your intake valves.

I’m having the exact same issues(stalling, lag issues and now the check engine light came on). I just got the used car a month ago. I’m hoping changing the sparks plugs will do the trick as I don’t know a thing about cars. How were you able to fix yours? I’m going to go to auto zone and get a diagnostic. I really hope it’s nothing I can’t fix by shelling out a few bucks…

What is the torque needed?

Don't want to sound dumb but what does a tune up do to your car?

@aaronsnook9109 2 жыл бұрын

Basically, over time your spark plugs get corroded with carbon and whatnot reducing efficiency of the spark and decreasing overall efficiency. New plugs make the car run better

@brandonhooker4498 2 жыл бұрын

Not only what Aaron said, but also the other aspects that go along with the plugs which are the air intake filter, throttle body cleaning and potentially the PCV valve. These are the key components that make sure your engine gets proper air, fuel and spark to run efficiently. Carbon buildup on your intake valves is also a common issue for GDI motors, but can be mitigated with regular intake valve cleaning additives and/or regular spirited driving.

Yeah, I would have first blown the area with compressed air. Then used a hand ratchet to remove the sparkplug with a grommet socket. When replacing sparkplug spin it in by hand in the socket. Never use the ratchet to start the sparkplug so you don't cross thread it.
