2003 Jaguar XJ8 Spark Plug Replacement, Ignition Coil Test, and Throttle Body Cleaning

[@mitchellhightower8731]

I learned a lot by watching the video on how to change the spark plugs on my 99 XJ8 Jag I'm able to take care of it because of the detail video and how to do this it makes me feel confident to complete the change of my spark plugs thank you very much

Young Man Sounds like Fez from that 70's Show. Rare for someone to show you from start to finish how to perform this Service. Keep in mind if you've never had a Jag before there's no way with out training one could figure this out. Inmar took the time to show us step by step how simple this was if someone takes the time patiently to show us how. At $ 95.00 an hour at the Jaguar Shop I think I can tackle installing a Fresh set of Plugs and new set of C.O P.'s ( Coil Over Plug ). Thanks Inmar

[@ricky-sanchez]

Peepin the low key racism right there. Great job!

[@wandervision69]

@@ricky-sanchez he literally gave him a huge compliment by saying no one without training could figure this out, yet Inmar did. Saying he sounds like Fez is not racist. If I say a person with a strong New York accent sounds like tony soprano is that racist? Great job!

@@ricky-sanchez Sir this is a Wendy’s... I’m a poc, and just pointing out you’re being an overly sensitive cad. No one likes people that do the crap you do

[@ricky-sanchez]

@@wandervision69 Don't be mad about my statement. If he was genuine about the comment not being racist then he shouldn't be mad about what I said, because it doesn't affect him.

[@rosss890]

Great video. One of the best with detailed instructions. Great job.

[@djlala]

...worked on my 2002 xj8 this weekend .. your video helped a great deal! Thank you!!!!!

[@ricky-sanchez]

The spark plugs are covered in oil because you need to replace the spark plug tube seals. They are located underneath the valve covers. Might as well replace them on both sides, and do the valve cover gaskets as well.

[@charlesforney63]

Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed your video.

[@gino03cobrastang]

How did you get a double din so neat in there. I have a 98 vdp. Would love a video showing the process

[@imondragon6096]

I’m sorry for the late reply. I’ll be posting a video on it soon

[@voiceofreason2674]

If you drive a 98 you need the 2 pin ignition coils. 99 to 03 needs the 4 pin ignition coils. Yall prolly know that but just in case anybody else out here doing research

[@paulanderson4739]

He did a nice job, helpful with my 97

[@TheDarkLandsMusic]

Nightmare.. need to do this myself, changing the spark plugs, think once this has been done, getting shut of it, life too short to spend so much time removing tons of crap just to change spark plugs

[@cesarcarranza42]

Why do you need to disconnect the battery for spark plug change ?

[@ScottShepherd-y7d]

Am I wrong but is he working on the early engine. The 03 like mine is the Ford 4.3

[@Reachowt]

A dirty throttle body can have some performance issues-just sayin', it can also cause your car to stop or barely start....just curious, how long did your throttle body go without cleaning? I like your air intake box design - so much easier to remove the top half compared to the 2005 VDP we just bought in January this year..first Jag ever. Yourr videos and others here on youtube are very helpful, though I can read a manual and get the job done. Thank YOU! Good luck!

[@djlala]

Great video .. love my 2002 xj8 Vanden plas

[@ddrocketstown4893]

I have a 08 jaguar xj shop wanted to fix my rear shocks for $2500 I did it myself with aftermarket air shocks for $273 with a 3yr warranty on the part.

[@philliptorrea1166]

Bro!!!! What radio is that? please respond. Am looking for a radio to fit my jag...same model

[@imondragon6096]

The radio was the Pioneer Avh280bt 6.2 Double DIN. I also purchased a kit called Metra 999501G Single or Double DIN Installation Dash Kit for 20022007 Jaguar XType or 20032006 Jaguar SType Gray. The installation was a bit of a process since you have to remove the stick shift cover and wooden panel that goes in ( you have to put the car in Neutral - I think ) because then you might break the panel. Also inside the old radio you have to remove/cut some metal brackets to make room for the new radio. In addition you need to have the right color connections from the original wire harnesses to the new one - when I installed it drained my battery since the radio was always on. I can try to find the info for the cables.. let me know

[@philliptorrea1166]

@@imondragon6096 you are the man!!!

[@alexanderthegreat6480]

How did you torque number 8? There was no room for the torque wrench with the extension.

[@imondragon6096]

I honestly don’t remember I think I used an smaller Adapter to the wrench

[@NewzAndReviewz]

Thank my guy!

[@dranb7074]

Just an FYI man. Spark plugs don’t come “pre-gapped” for your vehicle. This type of jag should be .030-.035 on the gapping. You always have to check the gaps. They tell you they come “pre-gapped”, but that’s BS lol.

[@mossfoster5317]

I know this was 3 years ago but for anyone else who wants to know he fitted iridium plugs, those must Not be gapped, you'll damage the fragile anode by trying. If you were fitting standard plugs then yes gapping is worth while.

[@tomporter2164]

you should never push the throttle butterfly by hand it upsets the readings from the throttle

[@imondragon6096]

Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind next time I perform the same repairs

[@alexanderthegreat6480]

Not if the battery is disconnected. There's no reading then.

[@chaseyangtze4689]

Never disconnect negative first sparky time

[@tainchains]

thanks

[@007ozner]

You forget to mention to have the radiocode before disconnecting the battery!!!!

[@x_over_it]

You know it's strange, I've disconnected the battery plenty of times and have never had to enter the radio code

[@MitchGrooms]

good video, I have a Jaguar car channel.. Take a look..

[@stevenhedley9617]

I'm a XJR owner of 4yrs, first time never started, now flooded an lost compression, what can I do to sort it ?

[@tomporter2164]

DO YOU NOT KNOW IT IS SAFER TO DISCONNECT THE EARTH/NEGATIVE WIRE FIRST

[@reillydowd5366]

Your audio is a full 30 sec ahead of your video

[@johnvella4029]

Why you didn't take totally the engine apart😂😂😂😂😂

[@MegaHollywood1971]

Looks like you used the wrong grease, should have used "Copper". What you used was for Aluminum.

[@peterbrown2112]

Dude. Get a fucking tripod!!

[@joeboonen7421]

10 minutes of watching the hole in the panel. Terrible vid.

[@SP-io7lj]

Get a grip! That was ONE small period out of a very long video with a lot of information! You're the type of Karen/Ken who would get upset because someone gives you a $100 bill, but it has dirt on it. Be thankful he created this video with a lot of information and relax.
