Spark plug gap 0.030
( NGK plugs come pre-gap, DON'T adjust will damage tip)
Cylinder LtoR 1234.
Spark torque 13 lbs.
Welcome
Sparking plug gap spec for 2018 accord 1.5 is .044 which one do you go with
@@martin6441
The NGK- DILKAR8P8SY Laser Iridium comes pre-gap, and warns not to adjust. Adjusting will damage tip.
Best way to put plugs in place and start is using a length of vacuum hose that fits tight on top of plug, slide down in place and turn a few rounds, then hose pulls off easy once plug has started. I learned this from my mechanic uncle back it the 70's. Still works for me on any engine that plugs are hard to reach.
I just saved myself hundred and fifty bucks. Thanks to you.
Nice good job
Great video RB! Thorough and to the point! First time watching this and I feel confident doing this. Firestone wanted ~$100 plus -$25 per off-brand plug. You’re a real gem! 💪
I also love how you actually reply to questions! Keep up the great work!
Nice good job!!
Honda wanted 200+ 🤦🏽♂️
Did mine for 50 bucks wat hing this video took me about 30 minutes
Have you replaced the turbo boost sensor ??
No I have video on turbo replacement
hey RB i'm about to swap my sparkplugs out and I just bought some cheap ones at O'Reilly's. Should I be worried or should I not? I was thinking since I drive a little more than the average driver (about 25k per year) I figure maybe I'll get some NGKs at the end of this year. I bought the autolite iridium xp plug XP5682 - should i be worried lol I'm about to drive out on an almost 2000 mile round trip this week
after reading replies I might need to just return them and get NGK's ugh
Yes please do it once and do it correct get good ones
Hi, you added anti seize but ngk says not to use it. Is the following incorrect?
1. Anti-seize
NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize.
Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch. Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat rating of the spark plug and can result in serious engine damage caused by pre-ignition. Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental.
I seen on Reddit, some employer at Honda shop said you should grease it. I wish I could post the screenshot. Of his installation guide
Ngk are from factory fun fact the official honda plug
Honda says to use anti seize.
RB is it best to drive the car to operating temp, then let it sit for 2 hours, then once cool change plugs?
Bad idea to try to change plugs on a cold car which has been sitting for 2 days? Too cold so hard to remove plugs?
Ideally do we want the car recently driven but cooled off?
Yeah exactly not hottt hottt just warmish and they should be smooth to remove give it some time cooling so it’s warmish
hi i wanted to know how do you know if your spark plugs need to be changed?? my car chokes when accelerating sometimes and has trouble going uphill sometimes i have about 80k miles and all my lights on my dash turn on honda accord 2020
Well if u got 90k miles need to replace it
Mine just started doing this, I’ve been told it’s probably the injectors and I will be getting them checked soon.
@@zedx6414 yup it’s has recall
My car starts to feel like a jerks I’m at 60k 2018 Honda accord do you recommend changing?
Jerk could be transmission or mount related not sure what I can recomend without test driving I would recommend have it tested
I just replaced mine at 69k for the same reason and it was because of the smart plugs
My 2018 honda accord had a fuel pump recall on it. Contact the dealer and they replace it for free for you.
is this an identical process for the hybrid models of same year 2019?
Yes similar
What does it mean if I changed out the spark plugs & ignition coils and it still misfiring???
U still got misfire this car has and been known for bad injectors customers I had warrnty dealer did it free
@@RBTheMechanic I feared it was that.. appreciate the feedback 💯
@@dgfinesse6061 yeah got to be that usully it would do shake in the first morning start up
I ordered ngk plugs and beck arnley coil/boot assly. Is beck arnley good for the coil packs?
@@mdpolkboy yeah they good brand
Hey can you please tell me… before put new spark plugs you’re adding some liquid i want to know what is that. Can please tell me also is that mandatory put that?
No liquid!!! Maybe just anti seize
Is that mandatory add?
@@venkatvenky4532 no
I changed my plugs on my 2019 77k accord . No engine code but i still feel the misfire. Guessing i got to do the coils now. Ill get that done this week and see how she drives
Yes it got recall I would call them up fight it
You know what i do remember a recall now about the fuel pump or something. Ill look into that thank u
@@3fanAIit’s most likely the injectors 9.9/10 times.
Do you now of a good website to oem ngk spark plugs dor a 2021 honda accord 1.5t?
No sorry try rock auto parts.com
Sir ,do you need to remove battery connection for order to change the spark plugs or not necessary.
No u don’t need to remove the battery engine off key out of ignition that’s all
Thanks for the video! Saved me money!
Welcome
Do you need to change coil packs when changing spark plugs ?
Nope. I only change if there’s misfire
Do I use dielectric grease in the boot?
No need to but if u have sure go ahead
Is iridium xp spark plug any good ?
Yes I use them lot laser iridium
Is it really that easy cus they trying to charge 350
It’s that’s simple
And easy!!!
Do it yourself bro lol harbor freight has tools for like 20$
Thanks for the video
Welcome
What cause you to have carbon on your spark plug??
Bad air to fuel mixture or misfire bad injector
A cuanto calibras las bujias del honda acord esport 2021
Sorry idk Spanish
Do you need to disconnect the battery to do this?
No
So it’s best to change the spark plugs at 100,000 miles.?? For an honda accord 2018 sport.?
I would do it before that around 75k is good idea
Dam I just hit 80k. Thank you man. I need to hop on asap now. Bless ya man
@@AntonioEspinoza-my8wu yup tune it up
125k miles here’s no issues. Gap on plugs is spec
What does a tune up include on a 2020 accord hybrid? Thanks
Plugs air cabin filters and oil change if u request it
Thanks man 🙏🏻
HEY RB: For the 14 in deep well is it a 3/8 drive?
Also, for the extension bar is that a 3/8 drive also?
Think that should work
@@RBTheMechanic Thank you thank you
@@FreeFromSocietyRadio welcome
Nice video bro, I just did mine on my 2018 accord at 149k 😮 also did spark plug boots n coils. You know what I really recomended bro im did serious . Change out the v tec solenoid gasket Spool. Man it makes a whole difference. I was problems car not having power going up hills. 😀
Will look in to those and recommend them
@Henryaccordsport is it important to change out the coils same time with spark plugs ? Or can I do just the spark plugs ? Or will that cause my plugs to go bad again ?
@angelleos3397 yes do both I did
No. @@angelleos3397
@@angelleos3397You do not have to change the coils when you change the plugs if the coils are good the coils are good.
What was the spark plug gap size?
.044
Hey brother what do you tork them down to ?
13 ft lb
what is that substance that you are rubbing on the sparkplugs
Antisieze
@@RBTheMechanic thank you always I will be changing my spark plugs what size screws will I need to unscrew the bolts
Do the NKG spark plugs need anti seize
Yup
No longer necessary. It's even on NGK's website. They put a coating that prevents seizing.
I have 2019 Honda accord sport 1.5
Where do recommend getting new spark plugs?
Get original from dealer
How you know
Is bank 1 bank 2 bank 3 bank 4 in order
4 cylinder has only 1 bank or ru talking about cylinder 1 2 3 4?

I always put original in these from dealer honda spark plugs
The one in the owner's manual.
What’s that liquid you put on spark plugs?
Antisieze
What happens if you don’t torque the spark plugs right?
Welll I always say I have mechanics hand and I know when things are tight might not be to spec but they will not come loose so. If ur had is good and u know it then nothing other wise they can come loose and if u go crazy u can over tight and snap the plugs
@@RBTheMechanic Hey so if I didn’t replace the ignition coils and say they were already bad will it cause my spark plug to go bad ? Just replaced spark plugs and drove it for week nd it misfired again then I checked the spark plug in 2nd cylinder Becuase of code PO302 the spark looked bad like burnt from the top
@@angelleos3397 no plugs are fine. Like I said this car has issue I think it’s recall or TBS call ur dealer ask them if it’s covered ur injector might be leaking

Hey bro I got a 2018 honda accord sport 1.5 manuel im getting a code p219e but just notice I put my car in 5th gear punched it to around 80 and it started to jerk could it be my fuel pump not supplying enough gas too injectors thnk you
I got a 14mm spark plug socket with a mag in it at O’Reilly’s for $7. 😅
Cool yes those work well
Where the heck did you get oem plugs for 19 dollars? My dealer sells them for 42 a piece.
No that’s crazy this was from dealer
@RBTheMechanic That's awesome, I'm in South Florida, just north of Miami. Quick question, I purchased some form the auto parts store. They're considered OE and are NGK as well, you think this would cause any issues? They're pregapped at .030.
@@michaelmichael1460 yes that’s good gapping! And NGK is good quality
@RBTheMechanic Ayy! Thank you my guy, I appreciate the correspondence. Keep it up, your content is great and is much appreciated. Stay blessed.
What is the spark plug gap for 2018 Accord LX 1.5 ?

0.032
2020 Accord with the 1.5. 57,000 miles. No issues. (Knock wood).
Ok good!!
2019 77k miles no issues just new plugs and coils due.
Would you recommend a autolite iridium xp spark plug for a 2019 accord sport 1.5T ?
Honestly go original these Hondas don’t accept aftermarket
@@RBTheMechanic thank you
what about ignition coils?@@RBTheMechanic
@@T2ManOnTheMoon what about it?
@RBTheMechanic is there a brand you recommend, or does it have to be OEM/genuine parts too
I think the firing order is 1, 3, 4, 2.
Not 1, 2,3,4.. I could be wrong tho
Firing order ur correct but cylinder1234 is straight forward

Hello RB : do you know the weakness of 1.5 Accord? I know fuel injector it goes around 85 to 100 K and also the stud of the engine head stretch's and blow off engine head gasket. do you have any other weakness beside those two the just mention ? hope to see more videos in you channel for the Honda 1.5 turbo engines.
Engine will have bad piston rings oil consumption problem abs moduel will go bad check charging system will act up ac will brake down soo much goes wrong with these
Nothing you listed is accurate
@@GuatoLT1exactly haha I have a 2018 accord with 124k miles she still drives like the day I got her off the lot
@@BrandonDwhat gas you put on it? I hope mine makes it to 124k like yours and what maintenance have you done to car?
@@blackhawks1870 at 134k still runs like a champ and always do mid grade or premium never 87 or 85. Flush the tranny at 80k miles and on top of oil changes. I do need to change spark plugs lol they have over the recommended
How many foot pounds did you use?
I did 15ft lb there’s diffrent numbers on diffrent Manuel’s but I went with 15
I have my 2019 honda shake in the mornings for a bit then goes away.Did have all the dash lights come on and read misfire cylinder 2.Im about to change spark plugs with oem.U think it would be the coil ?
U have warranty this is from leaking injectors I would check with dealer they will fix free they did 3 cars I sent
Did changing the spark plugs fix the problem ?
Possibly. I'd do wires and coils same time as the plugs.
Thanks for posting. I had to replace the turbo on my 2018 accord and now it’s been misfiring when I accelerate. Gonna replace the spark plugs to see if it solves the problem.
Where did you purchase the plugs?
Got it from my local part store. I had one of these accord it had bad injector car had 23k miles
@Ephesians/rz7zp what you have to do to get it fixed ?
@@angelleos3397 I replaced the spark plugs and it’s been running good ever since.
@@Ephesians-rz7zpthe the spark plugs from a honda 2020 fit a 2021?
Ngk and Denso recommend against using anti-seize. If you use it, you should install by rotation and not by torque.
The anti-seize lubricates the threads and causes you to rotate further for the same torque value, increasing the risk of stripping the thread.
Whats the torque spec boss?
It’s in the video
13 foot pounds of torque for the spark plugs. Doesn’t need to be super tight at all. Finger tight then give it a quarter turn and you’re good.
So what’s your recommendation for changing spark plugs?
Original dealer spark plugs for these
Thanks for the quick response, I meant to say after how many miles
@@solanomartinez9961 I would and do usully recommend after 60k miles
Thanks for support , i followed your steps and everything was smoth till 3 days after my car vibrate/ struggle when accelerating, I will remove spark plugs and swap around insure connections , what am I missing ? 😊

@@RBTheMechanic good evening does it matter the name brand of the spark plugs
@@donniebullock6566 I would get the original Honda ones I believe NGK
Bosch and autolite iridium are the main plugs that pop up when I search for some. And with the antiseize do you HAVE to it on the plugs when you put the new ones in or just put them in there very carefully and don’t cross thread?
What spark plugs did you put in the engine? NGK laser iridium and no others go into this engine, maybe even denso.
Original honda
And they wanted to charge me $300 for labor alone on these 😂
