Great video! I ended up taking off the entire coil pack in order to access the plugs . . . was impressed that you managed to pull out the individual coils!
Hey, HomeBoy, dats a pretty cool vid. Ya'll must smoke a fat one before filming! But just a few comments, the T30 coil bolt is a "Torx" head, FYI. For your plugs, the gap will be .036" to .050", depending on your model year, and make/model of plugs. While showing the front Driver's side is easy, I'd like to see the one by the battery done, also. I can't even get access to the coil bolt, with the huge wire harness in the way. So I'll be yanking the battery / box out and trying again. Last thing is, your passenger side coils are "wrong" ! Though I assume they work and the car runs good. I recognized them as the same in my 2004 Seville. The 2004 Sevilles and 2004-05 DeVilles used those cream-colored top coils with connectors that break easily. (Believe me, I know). I later bought a 2006 STS V8 like yours and all the coils are black like your driver's side. Peace
@@oxmanagain , yeah, man, be careful with those passenger side coils and connectors. They are poorly designed. There are tiny tabs on the coil sticks that break easily, that the connectors snap into. Also the connectors will break easy, esp. as they are all old now. I hope to pull my battery tomorrow and maybe the tray also. I cannot get at the last coil Torx with that HUGE wire loom next to it, and the loom next to the battery, there's no "wiggle room". Later
@@oxmanagain , yes but they have to deal with the designers and model year changes. Still certain things should be better thought out for service. I removed the battery but one of the tray bolts was corroded so couldn't get the tray out. Got the screw out with a 1/4" drive finally. I have a 2006 with 110,000 miles, and since the tranny fluid was apparently never changed (did that last year after buying it) I figured the plugs would be old, too. Yeah they were nasty, OEM Delco's - I'm sure the originals.
Dude I'm stuck on that passenger side spark plug in the back, I can't take it out I'm afraid I'll brake something if I force it out any suggestions??.. Nice vid tho..
+Alan Garcia I feel your pain I went through the same thing, if you take the battery and box out you will gain the room you need. Thanks for watching and the comment
Thank you so much for this video. I have the 05' STS 4.6 AWD. I have 165,000 miles on it and I had a series of codes come up. Initially, I had the cam and crank codes come up with the random misfire code. When I cleared the codes, those didn't come back. I'm in NC. We experienced the gas shortage and could only get regular unleaded. The car hasn't run right since. I have replaced the MAP Sensor, MAS, new plugs (my ignition coils have the white tops- 1st generation), air filter and the throttle body. Due to mileage and it throwing the initial codes, I am going to change the Camshaft Position Sensor and the Crankshaft Position Sensor. The random misfire P0300 is the only code coming up right now. Any ideas from my information and do you know of any videos that will help me? I am a 52 yr old woman and I am slightly mechanically inclined. I've done several of these things myself. By watching the videos, I won't be able to do the crankshaft position sensor on my own, but I'm wondering if I can do the camshaft position sensor. This car seems to be a little different than the others.
@@erikoroscoe1051 lol, Thank You so much. I was able to keep it running long enough to be Blessed with another vehicle. I gave it to my mechanic. I bought a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace 35t (SUV). It's a whole DIFFERENT ANIMAL to learn 😁
My 06 4.6l v8 sts has the white tops as well, I accidentally ordered the 2nd gen, black tops will it work instead of the white or will I need to find the white in order for it to work?
hi i hav a question , i just bought a cadilac sts 2002 4.6l northstar , that car never ben running for the past 2 yrs , the car crank but wont start , can you tell me what i have to check or dol to make it run
If the car is cranking but won't start I would make sure you're getting fuel and the battery is good. Do a compression test or you can spray starter fluid in the intake and see if it starts. Then, next I would concentrate on the ignition system. Let me know the outcome.
hey i was just wanting to know if you could help me out? i have a 2005 cadillac sts v8 and all of a sudden i started to hear knocking sounds when i accelerate. Do you think this is due to different oil i had put in or the gas? ps i had 5w 40 put instead of 5w 30 because of the miles on my car which it has 111,000. Thank you in advance
+Jose Olvera the oil could have something to do with it, plus you might want to make sure you have the proper amount of oil also.On my last change I didn't put in enough and I heard a knocking. My problem was fixed by me added the right amount of oil. I hope that helps.
Yes you're right even is on one side and the odds the other. I wasn't showing one-two-three-four I was just counting them letting you know where the four where located.
That is a rubber fitting that holds the back of a spark plug. It typically comes in a spark plug socket so we can pull the spark plug out and it won't break spark plug tip.
+George Rodriguez no I don't have a book on this car. I couldn't find one that's why I decided to upload the video to help somebody out. Thanks for watching.
I got a o6 thanks . I've been having minor problems since I've had this car I've only had it for a week and I'm learning more things about it. If u have fb I'm Brandon real on there or if @beereal247 dm me so I can ask u some things I'm running into or message me on fb
Hey man, I appreciate your videos. There’s not many that have the 4.6. Thanks, you saved me a ton of time
Great video! I ended up taking off the entire coil pack in order to access the plugs . . . was impressed that you managed to pull out the individual coils!
Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad I could help.
Have to say I just did this under a hour thanks to this video...thanks!!!
in under an hour that's pretty fast. Thanks for watching and your welcome.
Very helpful will do mine tomorrow, thank you for taking the time to do these videos on your Cadillac STS v8. 🤝🙏
Thanks for watching I appreciate all the support.
Outstanding video - all specifics and details available! Great description. . .THANKS!!!
+Simone DeSimone thanks for the comment and view
Ha thanks for the info, and l'll be doing it this weekend. Also have a great week

@@captainamerica9353 yeah sometimes I really hate the engineers, I don't think they care at all how easy it is to get to an area.

Do you have a video replacing the the starter on your STS?
Do you have a video of valve cover replacement on this I have an 06
I never had to replace my valves so I don't have a video.
thanks for the video , I'm looking forward on changing them today on my moms 05 Cadillac 4.6.
+Tony Rendon glad I could help and thanks for watching.
+oxmanagain bro I got a leak I think its the oil pan , have you done any work underneath to the oil pans
+Sam Niko no but I would spray water everywhere just to be sure. Let us know how it goes
+oxmanagain OK will do
Awsome videos man! Quick question have u ever had to replace the fuel pump on ur cadillac yet? If so how hard is it to do?
+Tob thank you for watching and no I haven't had to replace my fuel pump.
+Tob Fuel pumps don't normally have to be replaced, changed you filterf every 25,000 miles
That looks easier than the V6 version
GREAT VIDEO OXMANAGAIN, NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO IT..
Thanks for watching.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome thanks!!!!

+oxmanagain I got it, thanks..👍🏼
Under no circumstances should iridium spark plugs be gapped with that type of feeler gauge!
Your exactly right man
Hello.
What is the proper gap tool and is it the same for the AC Delco Double Platinum?
Just became a subscriber. Great video.

Wow. You sound amazing. Im 25 and get nervous around stuff like this. Did you ever fix the issue ? My car also has that same code.
@@erikoroscoe1051 lol, Thank You so much. I was able to keep it running long enough to be Blessed with another vehicle. I gave it to my mechanic.

Great video!!! Keep up the good work
The coil packs are one of the easiest things to fix on these cars. Shop wants about 250-300 per pack to repair. Screw that. Lol.
I agree with you.
Keep it comin big dawg
Thanks
thanks it help me out
+mrdwight ball Thanks for letting me know the video helped out and your welcome.
Great video man.
Do you know the spark plugs order?
I'm having trouble in cylinder 7.
Thanks.
I will do some research
@@oxmanagain thanks 👍
I thinks its the top coil on the passenger side
Hold down the T/c button for 8 seconds and enjoy! You're welcome
😎👌
jahseedbeatz504 what does it do
@@stanleyhuang2185 allows the wheels to spin..burnouts
Perfect thanks...
Whats the part number for the plugs?

I have a Cadillac SRX 2004. And the video is very attracted protection around the engine cover. Where can I find one?
It came with my car, you should check with the dealer. Thanks for watching.
@@oxmanagain Thank you for your video reviews. I learned a lot of useful things thanks to you. Happy new year!!!
@@ivanlidovskiy8977 I appreciate you for taking the time to watch my videos. I'm glad I was able to help you. Have a good New Year's yourself thanks.
I known its a late response but you can get engine plastics and covers from the junk yard for any vehicle..for around $10-$30 per piece

+oxmanagain thank you it sure will. im taking my car to my mechanic tomorrow to get that solved.
Hey need ur help with a problem to my cadillac
What is your problem?
Isn’t it the count odds on one side and even on the other side on the coil not the way you counted em I wrong or right
Yes you're right even is on one side and the odds the other. I wasn't showing one-two-three-four I was just counting them letting you know where the four where located.
Hey brother whats the rubber piece that was in your 5/8 wrench piece
That is a rubber fitting that holds the back of a spark plug. It typically comes in a spark plug socket so we can pull the spark plug out and it won't break spark plug tip.
@@oxmanagain is that a normal tool lol thanks man
Do you have a book you use for reference?
