Thanks for the video. I made my 10 yr old son watch this video and do the entire job himself. All I did was use the torque wrench at the end.
+Ben Stough good work! Easy Peazy
I really hope you said “THERE I FINISHED” 😂
Thanks Mate. Helped with my Accord Euro 2005 especially with changing the ignition coil assembly when the engine started to misfire. FYI - Ignition Coil Assembly Part No - 30520-RWC-A01.
thanks!
Even though this is an old video...these guys have the best videos. Keep those videos coming guys. Do you guy have any merchandise out? Shirts? Stickers? License plate frames? Etc..
Great vid just bought a used Honda accord 06 130k engine light came on originally thought cuz of the rough idle it had to with the ac hose straining on the engine or even the mounts buuuut it's a reinforced hose took spark plugs out and they were pretty much toast .
My socket fits on the spark plug TIGHT! Gonna have to get a locking extension set.
Do you know what specific spark plugs for a 2007 Honda accord SE 2.4L 4cyl. I assume it has to be the same as yours
Hey there. FYI. In the video you said to tighten the spark plugs to 13 ft lbs and in the video description it says 14 ft lbs. Which one is it? Did you actually torque the coil bolts to 8 ft lbs because you didn't show it on the video but it's on the description. Thanks guys!!!
follow the description box.
everywhere I've read it claims 13ft/lbs
Oscar it's 13
What's is the best anti-seize and dielectric grease to buy for this job?
Sorry for the silly question but I have yet to find through search engines the magnetic stick you used to retrieve the spark plug? I got one out and realized it did not come out with the plug socket and extension. Help!!! I put the plug back with the socket and out of curiosity the truck started up. I am about to save $300+ for the rest of my life. I will have to remember you in my will.
you can buy the spark plug magnetic socket at any auto store, just ask the employee if you don't know which one. You can also look in the socket to make sure its either a rubber grommet thats in there or a magnet. I hope that helps.
Anita Harrison. all you do is simply take one of the coils put it back in hole ,push down onto plug and ...voila..you pull it right out
Perfect video.
Going to do the plugs on my 05 Accord. Thanks for the added confidence.
***** :) np!
My favorite channel thank you so much.
Appreciate the love
Great video, can't believe dealer being charging an arm and a leg for this.
dretea yeah... I would be more understanding if it was a V6 instead of a 4 cylinder lol.
you do great job of explaining everything...
thanks!
Can you tell if their bad by looking at them ?
Did you over torque the spark plugs with that long ratchet? 13 lb.ft. is a very small amount of torque. Must be done with a torque wrench.
Yeah it wasn’t over torqued, we’ve done this many times.
great video. Question, did you use a regular ratchet, or did you use a Torque wrench? I noticed that you had put the torque specs, but not sure if a torque wrench was used. If not, would you just recommend to slowly tighten until end feel? Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Torque wrench recommended if you’re not experience. We usually hand tighten using the ratchet.
At the beginning my front bolt that comes attached to the plastic cover only comes off from the top . What can i do
its so useful video. is it need torque wrench? i dnt have it. someone told me should same pressure each spark plug.
We suggest a torque wrench if this is your first time doing this since you don't know your own strength when tightening the spark plugs by hand.
I just picked up the spark plugs at advanced auto and the guy working there asks me 'you're gonna change the spark plugs without changing the cables ? ' ..
I remember changing the plugs and the cables on older cars but none of the how to videos here suggest replacing the ignition coil on the 03-07 accords so I figured that's a nonissue ..
I just told him 'no you don't change them on my car' .. he sort of chuckled while ringing me up but I don't know if it was over that .. was he wrong ? .. are you sure you don't change the ignition coil ?
d jones On old cars, we change the ignition coils, but newer cars like the 2003-2007 and up has ignition coils, you don't change it unless its broken. One ignition coil is very expensive, its controlled by the CPU so its not the old cap and rotor system. Just change the spark plugs that's it.
what do you do if the coil is stuck ? is there any thing you can use to make it/force it to come out?
Any recommendations for getting stuck spark plugs out? Can I spray Wd 40 to soak em and loosen them?
You can use a breaker bar or an impact wrench to loosen it.
@@NutzAboutBolts I'll have to buy a 3/8 breaker bar. I've heard some ppl have luck with soaking the plug with Wd 40 and waiting a couple of minutes. Cheaper route, do you think that would help?
@@garrettsontag7813 I haven’t tried and I don’t like spraying any liquid into the engine chamber. You can buy a 3/8 to 1/2 socket adapter or use a 3/8 ratchet and put a pipe on the end for more leverage.
Ok, never mind - I found it - a magnetic 5/8 spark plug socket. The parts store sold me Autolite spark plugs, do I need to return them and exchange for the NKGs since I have to go back anyway.
Yes, NGK or denso spark plugs, auto lite spark plugs are crap lol
Thank you, my old mechanic used Champions but recently (since moving to another area) my request for Champions were not met so I found I can do this myself. NKGs from now on - Thanks again!!!
yes engine light is on
whats the code?
Can I use any ol' anti-seize for the spark plugs? I typically lean on american grease stick anti-seize for it's price point
I’ve only used the copper anti seize one, I haven’t tried others…
Thank you. What is the length of the extension your using?
@@garrettsontag7813 3” extension
@@NutzAboutBolts thank you. I missed that for some reason
what kind of socket are you using? Ive tried 7/8 then 3/8 and aren't having success... I've also stopped attempting because the bolts are starting to get stripped, any advice? please and thanks!
It’s in the description box, 5/8 socket for the spark plugs.
What's your take on E3 Diamond Fire plugs?
Service manual recommends maintenance every 30k, but I've read iridium plugs can last up to 100k. Why such a short maintenance interval if the iridium plugs last over 3x as long?
hardtotherim not sure where you read that manual, but it is recommended every 120k for iridium plugs. 30k is for copper plugs, which are used on older vehicles.
@@NutzAboutBolts That's what I figured. I don't have the hard copy maintenance manual anymore and google nost likely gave me the link for a different honda model maintenance manual.
NKG Iridium good for 110k, Denso Iridium 30k.
what if it still miss fires I changed the spark plugs but still trembles could it possibly be the ignition coils?
you should get a check engine light if its your ignition coils. Do you have a check engine light?
Soooo helpful, thank you!!!
should I change ignition coils too?
cause some people told me that i should change coils too when i replace spark plugs
You never change it unless its broken... I think the person telling you this was thinking of the igniting wires, and not the ignition coils.
NutzAboutBolts thank you so much! u r my hero
Moah Son np!
Is the torque wrench required could i get by with slowly tightening by feel?
Charles Gray if you've done this before, you can hand tighten them, just make sure you don't over torque it.
What type of spark plugs is best for this engine
Ngk
also, how much do you tighten it by hand if you don't have a torque wrench ? or is the torque wrench absolutely necessary ?
d jones Hand tighten it until you feel like the washer is crushed and just tighten a little more and stop. Don't over tighten it or else it'll cause problems with the spark plug threads. If you're new to this, we would recommend a torque wrench so you don't have torque it. Usually some auto store lets you rent torque wrench for free.
NutzAboutBolts thanks for the speedy responses .. appreciate it .. I'll get on it
d jones
Yes I was watching your video and appreciated your patience and quick replies to your viewers I was wondering if I should attempt giving my car it’s first tune up or asking someone else to do it,while knowing now what should be done.
Yooo! My 06 accord jerks during acceleration and sometimes when I brake. What could be the issue?
check engine light? clean your throttle body plate and see if it helps, check your engine air filter.
lol at 01.29 I like when nick gruntled when trying to take out the bolt. mine was the same way was confused why I could not get it out. ahh
will this work on my 2009 Honda Accord Ex 2.4 vtec motor
+Michael Murphy yes, it should be the same.
+NutzAboutBolts thank you sir I appreciate that
replaced coils and spark plugs, still misfiring. ..and will not stay running. ....any ideas ?
any check engine light? you shouldn't have to replace the coils unless they're bad... the coils are controlled by the ecm, its not ignition wires like back in the days where it was controlled through the distributor.
It's not required to replace sprark plug wires or coils on these cars???
nope.
When I install my coils, they keep sliding up. Is this an issue?
no thats normal
Do you disconnect the battery to change spark plugs?
you don't have to, but if you want to, its up to you.
How long is the extension you used to take out the spark plugs?
+goX13 I believe its 6"
What is the spark plug gap on a 2006 4 cylinder
Alvaro Vazquez it is 1.2-1.3 mm (0.047-0.051 in.)
Hey guys...NGK doesn't recommend Anti Seize on the threads
thats true, but some of them are skimpy on the anti seize lol.
great vid my brothers
sending to shop, making a clanking noise when I try to run it now....
it can be anything now. They'll diagnose it with a scanner and let you know.
Love also he uses gloves.
You know what is the gap size on a denso for accord 2004?
it should be 1.2-1.3mm or .047-.051in.
It should come pre-gapped already.
NutzAboutBolts
thanks for your help
Can I ask why you used ngk vs Denso
Ngk are the oem ones
Got em out, but I don't think this is good
Hrm? What’s not good?
I was trying to upload a Pic but I haven't figured out how to do it on UA-cam
Hope it still runs 🤣
don't have a scanner
well, you'll need to get the code before replacing anything.
How does this help lol!
+eric nieto what do you mean?
