OTR trucker, been borrowing my mom’s 08 Taurus for over a year 😅

Thank you for this video!! I’m a young girl and I have a 2008 ford tarsus the shop charged me 2600$ just to change my spark plugs and coils this was a year ago and now my coil 5 is misfiring and I’m debating on doing it myself I can’t pay that again

Torque specs for upper intake, do you happen to know them? Thank you.

One of the best videos out there, has all the info i need, am sure my excursion will appreciate some new oils

Is it nessasary to disconnect battery ?

Great stuff man, keep em coming!

I winched the entire time you did the spring coil compression 🥵 Great job and thanks for the helpful video!!! My 06 Tibby appreciates your assistance 🖤

that happened to my car. miss fire cylinder 2 . I replace the coil and problem solved

Thanks for this video! I need to do this job on my mom's '08.

Good camera work

Can you do this Without a garage and with basic tools?

Thanks for this, couldn't be more clear how to do this.

Question: I was told bad spark plugs can make a car jump and shake and struggle going up a hill. Is this true? I have a 2007 Ford Taurus. Thank you.

I have the exact same exhaust on my 06. Sounds awesome!

I've gotta do mine and believe i have a misfire too, no check engine light on though. I am curious why the only coil pack they wanted replaced was the 3rd cylinder? Was that what the code showed? And would there be a code without the check engine light on?

Now where is the oil filter?

Well done. Solid instruction.

how do you do a fuel pressure test on those motors , cause my daughters car has a chug first start but clears up on its own and no check engine lights are on, like a misfire

Perfect Video. I Watched it cause I Have a 2013 TL. Code P0302 . It starts smooth and then it's starts shaking. But the funny tricky part is. I disconnected every coil one by one and I could feel the difference in the idle.. until I get to cyl-6 shake stays the same.. But my scanner reads 302 which is cyl-2 and not 6 were the shake stays the same . Spark plug is good and coil is arking . Hopefully is a tight valve

Was there a gasket mine didn’t have one on the intake am I missing it?

Great video boss I love the free knowledge

Fantastic information.

Excellent video. I've done this once before about 120k miles ago, your technique will save me some time as I jump into it again. My 08 just turned 226K and runs great and body is in surprising good shape for being in MI the pat 10 years.. Thank you for making this repair video. Best Regards, mjm!

great video,, if memory serves me correctly,, your #3 is in that bank,, actually #5 in the firing order..

Great video but no time to replace the back one lol i only replaced the 3 on the front 😂😂 when i get a chance i’ll be back to change it

Great video

As an Excursion owner, this is fun.

It's not a natural aspirated engine that's with the carburetors fuel injected

It's not called in upper manifold it's called in upper plenum, If it had a carburetor it would be a manifold if it's fuel injection it's called a

Very informative. About to do this on my 08 Tib GT

I did my plugs yesterday on an ‘08 Taurus X. This video was perfect. No surprises. I had my tablet right by the car and paused the video before doing each step. The worst part about the job are the 2 clamps on the hoses on the back. I could not get the one on the right off but was able to get it done anyway. Thanks, couldn’t have done it without this vide!

Thank you. So much better than the other videos for the cars in the Taurus family

Very good job teaching, subscribed! 🙏👌🇺🇸

Why did they have to design these like that…. I hate the fact you have to take the intake off just to access the rear plugs. 😑

Cool thanks, I'll probably do this sometime soon, I'll just get the quickstruts though

On modern cars torque very important on all fasteners.alot of plastic parts can't just man handle them like the.old days plugs can come loose and pull the threads out of the head.now ya got a big problem. Remember things expand when hot. So that's why we have torque measurements. Do it right.

Toque the plugs very important !!

I'd rather be safe and get the complete strut assembly. I'll leave this to the professionals.

You didn't torque the plugs

I didn't need this information, but your video was so good 😊 I had to watch. Stay blessed 🙏

Thank You so much . This is a great help to me.

hey great video i have a 2009 ford taurus was thinking of giving it a tune up car has only 55,000 miles about 6 months ago i pull out the first 2 front right spark plugs and notice they look like the ones in your video.my car still runs okay just i notice some vibration while is on idle.i don't know if needs tune up i didnt have that vibration 3 years ago when i purchase this car engine was really quiet i was going to ask you is a good thing to change the pcv valve while the intake manifold is off? because i didnt see you change the one in this car you were working on.thanks in advance

Thanks for your video it helped me I have a 08 Taurus with 191,k on it and a broken plug, which is not a problem I been up against the wall on this before, but my real question is, does it really matter if I go with factory plugs and coils are can I put a different set in with iridium plugs with Vplus coils what do you recommend???

This is my first car and I was so confused on wtf to do thanks dude!!

I'm been wanting and looking for vid. Ty so much

Hey, thanks a bunch for the video! Certainly helped me out with some upcoming work... Gotta do the 100k "tuneup" on the wife's 2015 Taurus (which looks pretty-much identical to this one), and was sort of dreading the intake removal... but it doesn't look like that big of a deal. I like the fact that you use a little anti-seize on the plug threads. I've been doing that myself for decades on all my engines. Really helps the plug come out "next time". Also, the rags in the intake ports is ALWAYS a good idea. Excellent job and advise. Thanks again!

Good job

Wow all that for some spark plugs The hemi i is so much more simple

Not being a car person, thanks kindly for posting this. Now I know what they'll be doing to me car!

Thank you so much for this, definitely going to have to do this at some point
