I use a short rubber fuel line to attach to the top of the spark plug for reinstallation.......the feel allows for you to detect cross threading issues whereas the metal tool doesn't give you that assurance to detect as you reinstall. Also anti-seize to apply to the spark plug threads. I believe there is a torque spec for spark plug tightening. Spark plug gap should be inspected for the new ones as a verification they are correct.
Thanks for you comments. I use a ratchet extension instead of a rigged up hose. Anti seize is not a good idea in this case as it changes the torque spec. The new plugs were pre gapped but yes that should be checked on some plugs
Yes that is a good observation. I checked them off screen and they were all good. The spark plugs would also indicate a corrosion issue if the top of the spark plug was corroded. I would have explained why if it was corroded, and what to do. Thanks

You should check the springs inside the coil pack for corrosion and rust. I would replace the pack accordingly if any was found.

Same motor in the Chevrolet Trax
Would bad plugs cause engine to chug and check engine light to blink and traction light to come on?
Bad Plugs = possibly; Check Engine Light = possibly; Traction light = no
@@drive-chriscapredoni the engine light blinks and traction light comes on.
@HaileyPaulson-fw2ub that's exactly what I'm dealing with. Did you ever figure it out?
@@mushimastermikeb3056 bad plugs
Mine just started doing the same thing 2013 .
