2010 FORD FUSION 3.0L Tune Up - How to Change Spark Plugs

After researching this project I realized that I needed to film this. This is the 3.0L V6 Ford Fushion and I wanted to cover the details of removing the intake manifold in order to change the plugs in the rear of the engine. Good news is this updated V6 is much easier to work on then the older generation V6 from ford.

dyi 2010 ford fusion f150 how to change spark plugs

[@jmrandom194]

Best video yet on replacing plugs for a 10-12 3.0 Fusion!

[@sjn7220]

Thx! I've got the same car and plan on doing this someday soon.

[@sirtanon1]

I don't know what car that is, but what you show on the interior is not even close to what a 2010 Fusion interior looks like.

[@KylePancis]

Yes, I started the video moving a Volvo out of the garage.

[@theshield1613]

You could change the seats as well

[@ninajackson2068]

Which way are you turning to loosen the plugs

[@just4funproductions579]

I needed this. im nervous because I have 2010 Ford Fusion SEL and been watching this video for days now hopefully I can do what you did thanks.

[@KylePancis]

Get in there! Not hard at all once you get going. Just like putting a puzzle together

[@erringnadinger5448]

Love the soundtrack!! Anyone know what it is??

[@riclmilligan4345]

Don't you change the sir filter with a tune up?

[@basspeggarr5169]

Love this video as a 2010 3.0 flex fuel owner I needed this cuz fuck labor costs for subpar work xD

[@evanknight3629]

Shop prices are insane I’ve had my 2012 3.0 flex fuel for a few years as a daily I’ve done water pump throttle body and maf, all easy to do myself then I wrecked it hard was able to save thousands replacing the entire front suspension at home because I bent everything and broke my rims and axles, these cars are very easy to work on compared to other fords

[@alexh9858]

Thanks for showing how to remove the manifold!

[@timothyluedtke7695]

Hope you're being sarcastic

[@covidisalie2139]

@@timothyluedtke7695 I think he is I'm sitting here with a manifold half off one bolt left but I cant see it

[@dylanbreznay5228]

Dude I need help. I can’t for the life of me get the damn thing off. All bolts loosened and it’s still not coming off all the way

[@kaotikdave]

what brand and part number did you go with on the plugs

[@KylePancis]

Good question. Off the top of my head I don't remember. I did use my local parts store, so it must have been an oem part number

[@kaotikdave]

Hmmm, well you can get an OEM equivalent plug from virtually any manufacturer but you are going to have your different tiers ya know...like you coppers, platinum, Double Platinum, Iridium etc....do you remember roughly how much you paid? I work at a parts store lol...and I dont sell the Motorctaft platinum plugs that are recommended. Heard they were just relabeled NGK's...who knows though. Thanks for the instructional video though as I have the same car.

[@haveawonderfulday7579]

My 2010 started to smell burning from the motor. It might be the gasket leak?

[@mrniceguy9808]

rear main seal leak most likely

[@1102zack1]

Maybe cover gasket

[@carlosvalencia152]

How did you take pop off the fuel line

[@KylePancis]

I forget to be honest. I believe there is a clip that is secured by a metal tab...pull the metal tab and it can be pulled from the fuel rail

[@chunkybuttc9107]

Ford uses spring couplings. One pipe inserts into the other. You can buy the cheapo plastic tool at Autozone (usually has like 5 or 6 sizes). They go around the tube and you slide it into the coupling housing to release the spring, then pull the two sections apart. I do not remember any clips when I did mine, but my car is an early 2010 (manufactured in June 2009), so there might be a change.

[@Elvis-dw7ux]

Mine is 2011 V6 3 litre...same method?

[@KylePancis]

Should be!

[@theshield1613]

Yes

[@fredbach6039]

I did not see you blow out the holes with compressed air after you pulled out the coils.

[@KylePancis]

I did not do this step.

[@chunkybuttc9107]

I used a shop vac.

[@nicholasvasquez3669]

How did u take intake off still can't take it off...

[@KylePancis]

Where are you stuck?

[@kaotikdave]

legend has it, hes still trying to remove the intake manifold

[@frenchcourtier9448]

I'm on day 3 trying to get 8mm bolts off near the egr. Can't reach the farthest top one on right nor can i get range of movement for the bottom one.

[@omargonzalez5533]

Wats the firing order?? Is 123 in the back?

[@tigerboyz4206]

135 in the back for 2012 fusion 3L 135 back 246 front

[@DrMcZero]

Shouldn't you blow out the holes with compressed air after removing the coils but before removing the plugs?

[@KylePancis]

After is fine. But definitely before removing the plugs

[@andresrodriguez985]

Replacing spark plugs on this car is a pain and a puzzle

[@jamarhibbler6476]

Skipped the main reason for me watching your video need to see how to remove back part on intake

[@basspeggarr5169]

I’d take my car to you tbh this job is easy I just wish our cars were inline

[@IDABAYAREA650I]

*Forgot to show people where to put the silicone so it doesn’t leak...*

[@integrityrules8105]

he purchased a intake manifold gasket , he should have purchased an UPPER intake manifold gasket thats why he has left over gasket. Its about 15 bucks.

[@nightchild584]

i dont understand why u would make a instructional video this unprofessional dawg i came here to see how to remove the back part of the manifold and u literally skipped it

[@fredbach6039]

And your music is really aggravating

[@KylePancis]

thank you for the feedback! I will keep that in mind for future vids

[@covidisalie2139]

You left out the bolts that hold the EGR valve onto the manifold...... that right there mad things 100× difficult next time you make a video make it easy for every last bolt. I'm currently stuck because non of these videos explain fully. Thanks for skipping passed the most difficult part

[@mikee7534]

You left out the part about the hidden bracket underneath the intake manifold that has nearly inaccessible screws. This bracket was obviously put in place before the engine was dropped in and is a real bitch to get detached from the manifold after the fact.

[@KylePancis]

lol, definitely a hard part to record!

[@victordiaz2920]

That bracket was a super pain in the ass when I did the tune up on mine.

[@KylePancis]

It is a tight place to work that for sure!

[@rneugreen6008]

@@KylePancis Thanks for the video, really helped with my tune up. Obviously it's not necessary, but found that removing the throttle body and battery made for easier access to the pain in the ass bracket...my two cents

back 3 plugs are buried!

He said he was going to shoot his car at 2:30 minutes

lol..."shoot it" as in film it. hahaa

[@theshield1613]

It doesn't look like a 3.0L it's pretty big , it looks like a 3.6 or 3.7L

[@ABadOrange]

Wrong

[@ABadOrange]

They don't make 3.6 or 3.7 fusions. I have the same car he does. 3.0 v6 AWD same year as well.

[@theshield1613]

@@ABadOrange I know 3.6l and 3.7 are to much problematic 3.0l is better

[@erinnelson1798]

They do have a 3.5l in the fusion sports 2010-12

[@anthonybarr2549]

lol owns a Volvo but also has a Ford.

[@KylePancis]

Ford is a family friends

[@bits9760]

Ford didn't make a 3.0 in 2010!! At all, so are working on a Chevy. Dodge, infinity, Lexus, etc cuz not a north American ford!!!

[@MrBob58o]

I have a 2011 Fusion with the same 3.0L Duartec Flex Fuel. Same car from 2010-2012.

[@chrismacavoy7790]

yes they did, its optional. you can get it with a 3L v6. I have it as well

[@bits9760]

My apologies, I thought he meant a 3.0 EcoBoost

[@chunkybuttc9107]

The 3.0L is in 60-70% of all 2010-2012 Fusions. My 2010 was built in 2009 and it has the 3.0L.

[@fredmartine674]

I have a 2010 Mercury Milan that has the 3.0L V6..I use to have a 1988 Mercury Cougar that had a 3.8L V6, wish I still had that car. That car rode smooth even on rough roads, it had regular shock absorbers all the way around and no McPherson struts..
