Among many of us, I wanted to thank you for uploading this. This was the only video I was able to follow and fully replace my sparks and coils. Some things I want to mention for anyone new to doing this. Make sure your car isnt still warm when unplugging that coolant line. (or dont have the bellows disconnected before hand) I had the pleasure of getting hot coolant shoot into the air filter soaking it completely. and make sure you dont press too hard on the coil pack clips, I ended up breaking 3 out of the 6. Removing the battery makes this job a lot easier.

1:05 on the other end of that vacuum hose is a fitting that's pressed into the valve cover. The fitting in my GF's 2005 keeps popping out and causing a massive vacuum leak. There's no damage to it, save for the fact that the tabs had been bent in, which I alleviated somewhat by boiling the piece in some water for a half hour, replacing the O-ring and reinstalling. Problem is it STILL doesn't fit snugly enough to keep from popping out. Is there a replacement available for this, or even a good way to secure it?

I’ve got this exact problem and have no idea where to begin. It’s a nd throttle adapter from Nikon FE to Sony E mount but with a nd throttle.

I have a 2009 mazda 6... do you know if these acceleration bodies go out of calibration if they are manipulated by hand?

As long as you disconnect the electronic control connector before you clean the TB, it shouldn't go out of calibration.

Damn, you weren't kidding about actually **fabricating** one of these suckers... Heh, I found your vid from looking around for tips for how I plan on DIYing one of these by just welding a piece of sturdy steel to the toe shifter's pivot-base, another peice of some small steel tubing to the end of it perpendicularly for my foot interaction & then call it a day after I adhere a few layers of marine heat shrink tubing to it for grip. It's a good thing I don't easily become self-conscious whenever I feel like I'm half-assing something by comparison, hahaha

regarding the plug gap, my manual said it is 0.054-0.057 in, 2007 Mazda 6 V6 sports wagon. confused.
@ironsinthefirediy62583 жыл бұрын
It may depend on the type of spark plugs you are using. If you are using NGK Iridiums then I think the proper gap is .044. If you are using an Autolite, Champion or another brand then the gap could be .054 > .057. I would recommend the NGKs only because they have never failed me.

So it will be a little while before I get the Mazda 6 videos finished and uploaded. I'm glad you like them, in the mean time enjoy some of the other videos on my channel and the others coming soon.

Thank you for creating this, its a very helpful walk through. Was it the labor that took 3-5 hours or a combination of what to unscrew & remove?
@ironsinthefirediy62583 жыл бұрын
It may only take you about 2 hours to do the job. I've done this job quite a few times now, it only takes me about an hour and a half. Most of what took the time when I filmed it was doing the job combined with the filming. A lot of start and stops and moving camera angles etc.

@@ironsinthefirediy6258 Youve got a subscriber for all that work lol but I have one more question: I just realized the Mazda 6 you worked on was an 07. I have a 2010 (09-12 model) mazda 6 with the 3.7L engine. Do you think the steps will be the same for my model? I have a repair model book but I can't seem to find the directions on removing this part of vehicle

@@Jojoe143 I haven't done any work on a 2010 Mazda 6. It's quite possible its a very similar design only bigger. Take a look at it to see if it looks similar. Although some of the torque settings will probably be different. If you can find a work shop manual, they are really handy. I'll see if I can find out anything and let you know.

Hi Jay, here is a youtube link for a Mazda cx-9 plug change. It's a 3.7 Ltr V6 so probably pretty much the same as your 3.7. Hope this helps you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYG9o52HjpWaa6c

Hi Rick, I'm flattered that you would want me to do this maintenance on your vehicle. The reason I post these videos is to help out people who feel they want to tackle the job on their own. I grew up around a garage and learned a lot from the auto mechanics that worked there. As I am not a licenced mechanic, I don't repair other peoples cars. But I can recommend a local garage that does great work at a reasonable cost, if you like. IITFdiy

Hi Karlynn, I buy my NGK iridium spark plugs from Canadian Tire, when they go on sale. A lot cheaper that way. But you can buy them from any auto parts store or even the dealerships will have them but probably more expensive. I recommend NGK iridium plugs. You can get a set of 6 on sale for between $40 to $50. Regular price will be about $85 to $100 Cndn.
