I’ve been dreading this task because of how much stuff I need to take off before I get full range motion. This is giving me a little courage but still looks like I’ll need to keep the kids busy with something for a few hours 💀
Just did this today. I was surprised how easy it was once you actually do it. Not sure why everyone is so intimidated by this job. 3 hoses, 3 sensors, some bolts. Done.
Thank you! I was able to change my spark plugs for the first time. I wish you could do a video on changing a water pump on the dodge journey 2012. The videos I've found are annoying lol
Hi Arches, I like your videos, your videos help me a lot. I had a 2012 dodge journey, but I am not a handy man and this car had so many problems, so I sold my old journey recently. I will still keep watching your videos. thank you so much!
Nathan J sorry to hear. Mine is really just the build quality. Everything engine and transmission works great but the rest is garbage. I won’t be buying another one that’s for sure. Just curious...what did you buy to replace it?
Hi Arches, I am a huge fun of Subaru! My wife has a 2014 Subaru Impreza. It works great and really reliable. It never go back to dealer for any repairing and just does regular maintenance since we bought it, and with the combination of winter tires, we have no trouble to survive the horrible winter road conditions in Canada Lol!
Nice video, me and my mother have the same Journey. Hers needs a tune up but everyone is charging a arm and a leg. The code for her is a cylinder 5 misfire which I assume is from.. well it needs the tune up but my question is, could i essentially just replace to spark plug for cyl 5 or would it be better for all?
@@ArchesMechanic yeah, I asked because I figured it was easier to access that one but doing all doesn’t seem too much of a task. I have two journeys to work on today. Mine and hers lol
Great video. My 2015 Dodge Journey is reading code p0301. Engine Shakes and vibrates at start up and when idles. Already changed all spark plugs and coil pack in cylinder 1. Now doesn’t shake as bad but still does.. I’m at a loss now.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
My friend has a 2016 caravan with the same issue. I would try swapping coil pack to cylinder 3 and seeing if it moves to 3. Otherwise it may possibly be an injector problem.
Hey, got code P0300 on my 2013 Journey SXT, first fix is going to be plugs. Is there an intake manifold gasket that needs to be replaced doing this? Thanks, great video!
Why did ALL 4 of my power windows stop working simultaneously? Yes I have the rear window buttons are unlocked. The unlock/lock buttons & the mirror adjust buttons work just fine. But none of the window buttons will respond pushed down/pulled up. Can you please help? Ty!!
Yo Arches, I just wanted to say thanks for all your vids on your Rebel! They've helped me with my own Rebel a lot. Is your rebel still having problems? You had mentioned a sputtering problem. I had the same issue for so long until I changed the fuel that I put into it.
Hey just watched your video yesterday to change my spark plugs on my journey but now today I’m having a real issue with my breaks. The break pedal is really hard to push and then it will “stutter” that’s the best way I can describe it. Was wondering if you had any advise or knowledge to what it might be. Thanks
@@ArchesMechanic thanks for the reply.....I know that the tech manuals instruct to not put any on, but being a tech myself, I sometimes don't listen to them because I know it's not right....😁😁
is it possible to experience misfire without the engine light coming on? When i cold start my 2016 Journey, i feel a tiny bit of shaking/vibration felt in the seat for about 10 - 15 seconds. Thinking misfire, or engine mounts.
Thanks ineed to do this service to my journey just got to 1k when to mechanic sait 120 for parts 250 for labor that's way to much I my try myself do it thanks for video
I’m not doing one on the axle fluid since mine was just changed and it’s very difficult. I’ll do brakes and coolant though. Now that it’s winter it might be a few weeks. Peace
Great job with the video, I’m just having an issue with the removal of the plenum. You said something about removing two bolts that are in there weird, where are those bolts at? Again best video on this so far thanks.
Curiosity not sure on this one. This was a 3 hour job for my first time. Would probably take 1 if I were to do it again. Got a good one coming next week. Maybe my laptop will be fixed by then.
ford flex is the same.. truth is most new cars are made this way.... . now days you got low end gum ball machine cars and trucks and people buy this crap???? lol fools. 40,000 for a car now days and its really worth 15,000 on its best day if it don't kill you from all the defects and recalls. Common sense ended in the 80's the world today is full of nothing but garbage products, fools and so called guys wearing 1970's women's pants aka skinny jeans (pure ass pirate btw).

I replaced the injectors in a 2014 Caravan today and got good results. This job is not too difficult but not everyone is made to do this sort of work.
Best damn home mechanic on the internet!

Hi Arches, thank you for your reply. I leased a 2018 bmw x3. I just think the deal was pretty good.
Nathan J sweet ride. If I get a raise at work I’m going for the Subaru ascent.

Sorry this may seem silly but I'm a young mother and just bought a 2010 journey is the replacement the same and what was the zip tie for. Thanks
Seeking Hope they are different. If yours is a v6 it is the 3.5 litre. Not sure when I used a zip tie. Do you have a time code?
Oh the zip ties were to replace the ones that were there. Holding wires in place
This video may help ua-cam.com/video/t69b5yrQ9ks/v-deo.html
Can you show how to recharge battery without taking it off,I have 2016 journeys, thank you

Do them all. You’re in there anyway

Wow you diffently made it so much easier so what do you think about 1 or 2 hour job?
Thank man ...best vid ive seen to get job done
Great video. My 2015 Dodge Journey is reading code p0301.
Engine Shakes and vibrates at start up and when idles. Already changed all spark plugs and coil pack in cylinder 1. Now doesn’t shake as bad but still does..

Hey, got code P0300 on my 2013 Journey SXT, first fix is going to be plugs. Is there an intake manifold gasket that needs to be replaced doing this? Thanks, great video!
Upper intake manifold gasket should be replaced at the same time. Might as well since you’re there.
Why did ALL 4 of my power windows stop working simultaneously? Yes I have the rear window buttons are unlocked. The unlock/lock buttons & the mirror adjust buttons work just fine. But none of the window buttons will respond pushed down/pulled up. Can you please help? Ty!!
Fuse?
I figures as much but their is nothing labeled for power windows. I have no idea which one is for the windows.
Yo Arches, I just wanted to say thanks for all your vids on your Rebel! They've helped me with my own Rebel a lot. Is your rebel still having problems? You had mentioned a sputtering problem. I had the same issue for so long until I changed the fuel that I put into it.
Marverick Felton working on a video about this. Waiting for my computer to get back from repair
Should the ignition coils be changed at the same time as the spark plugs?
No. They can last a lot longer

Check the master cylinder vacuum line going to the back of the intake. It has to be that or something similar
Great video can you do one locating the oil pressure switch
Do you recommend using Die Electric Grease when re-installing plug wires?
Chris Thonert I do. However it was a step I overlooked.
@@ArchesMechanic thanks for the reply.....I know that the tech manuals instruct to not put any on, but being a tech myself, I sometimes don't listen to them because I know it's not right....😁😁
In my 2012 Dodge Journey it came up with the code p0301 can that be the spar plugs ?
That’s an O2 sensor circuit. Front heated o2 sensor malfunction.
Do u know where’s that located thanks
@@juanuribe7632 there’s 2. Both on the front catalytic converter.
Thank you so much
Are they the same or different
Hey just found your videos. Have the same vehicle. Just wondering if you can show us how to change out the coolant reservoir...
Danilo Florez I’ll try. Winter is here. Might save outdoor projects for spring but if I get a warm day I’ll be sure to do it.
pull the clamps off the hoses then pull hoses off and remove the screws that hold it down you will see them np thats it... clamps, hoses, then screws.
how long did this take overall?
is it possible to experience misfire without the engine light coming on? When i cold start my 2016 Journey, i feel a tiny bit of shaking/vibration felt in the seat for about 10 - 15 seconds. Thinking misfire, or engine mounts.
With a professional scan tool you can
@@ArchesMechanic Thanks. I connected my obd2 scanner to it and sure enough, cylinder 3 misfires on cold start, causing the vibration.
Great job 👏🏾
Great job really accurate and clear video
What hex bolt did you use for the first two bolts to remove from the front of the upper intake manifold?
Jayson Montarde I want to say they were 8,10 or 12mm. Can’t remember for sure.
Thanks ineed to do this service to my journey just got to 1k when to mechanic sait 120 for parts 250 for labor that's way to much I my try myself do it thanks for video
thanks for this video,,can you please also do a video for axle fluids,brakes and coolant flush..thanks
I’m not doing one on the axle fluid since mine was just changed and it’s very difficult. I’ll do brakes and coolant though. Now that it’s winter it might be a few weeks. Peace
Great job with the video, I’m just having an issue with the removal of the plenum. You said something about removing two bolts that are in there weird, where are those bolts at? Again best video on this so far thanks.
They are in the front. I would say they are more like nuts. They hold the intake manifold to two black brackets
Chris Callahan I just bent the brackets to remove them
What mileage are you changing the plugs at?
Andy Blood 75k
Thanks, i'm at 114K kms so I think this is a job thats pending. Great coverage, helps a lot.
My 2014 just hit 100k so its time to do this, looks like a time consuming process.
Igot 2012 dodge journey sxt when I put it in reverse car star to stall like wanna turn off need help
Angel Gonzalez check idle control valve
@@ArchesMechanic where is the located at bro..
Angel Gonzalez on the throttle body. Can’t explain right now since it’s not in front of me but it should have 2-3 screws and a plug going to it
Good job but WTF were they thinking with this setup?!? :) .. My 2007 Ford Focus has a setup with PVC that is somewhat similar.
Curiosity not sure on this one. This was a 3 hour job for my first time. Would probably take 1 if I were to do it again. Got a good one coming next week. Maybe my laptop will be fixed by then.
ya really tho. my rig you only remove the plugs thats it no coil pack bs just plugs out and plugs in and yes spark plug cables
ford flex is the same.. truth is most new cars are made this way.... . now days you got low end gum ball machine cars and trucks and people buy this crap???? lol fools. 40,000 for a car now days and its really worth 15,000 on its best day if it don't kill you from all the defects and recalls.

Tim Shoebridge who’s the ass pirate? I can’t stand those skinny jeans. Need room for my stuff to breathe. Thanks for the comment tim
ass pirate applies to anyone wearing the gay ass skinny jeans lol.
I've watched other people do this job that made it seem complicated
It’s definitely not 4 banger easy
@@ArchesMechanic I'm sure it isn't but I've watched guys take alot extra steps that I seriously had to question 😅
Thanks...but there must be no alcohol consumed during this process!!!!!
He lost me I can't even see where hes removing the bolts
Too mush to get to 5he dam spark plugs dam!
How are you goin make a video and not show what you’re doing
az0942915 by taking my time to explain it as clear as I can while pointing out the area of the parts as best I can.
The 2.4 is easier
john doe doesn’t surprise me. Any 4 banger is easy to work on. Except that damn boxer engine
