2015 Dodge journey 2.4L spark plugs

[@michaeloyler1429]

Best video I found changing plugs on the 2.4.

[@bryanddd]

Thank you for this great video! You saved me a trip to the garage and a fistful of cash! Much respect!

[@mtberen]

Great video! I changed these out myself after my 2015 Journey wouldn't start in -12 degree temperatures. Charged the battery afterward and she started right up! Thanks for saving me a ton of money on towing and mechanic charges

[@dasledogg64]

I just watched all your Journey videos and they are all 👍🏾. Simple and to the point with tips for beginners. I don't even need my plugs changed, but I saved it for when I do. Please make them a Playlist because your stuff is on point.

[@jaysmith3074]

A nice cut & dry video... salute!

[@dustyroadsrider]

Thanks! I have to take care of my Mom's car. Your video made easy.

[@ChrisPollard]

Did these a couple of years back ... was getting hesitation and shuddering accelerating on hills. Plugs hadn't been changed in almost 100,000 miles. Electrodes were worn pretty bad. A few little suggestions. Since it's an aluminum engine, put a little anti-seize on the threads of the plugs. Also doesn't hurt to add a dab of dielectric grease to the boots. Oh - and try to do it on a cold engine. If the engine's hot, you can over-tighten the plugs and/or run the risk of stripping the threads. Nobody wants that repair bill. The 2.4 Journey is one of THE easiest spark plug jobs you'll ever do. Cheap and easy maintenance. I should actually do mine again before winter sets in ...

That's awesome man! I'm doing my wife's car journey soon. Thank goodness it's easy lol usually they're a pain in the ass lol

[@adrianortega2124]

Four cylinders are cake the six might be a little different. Good luck!

[@jeremyladue4702]

If you got a six theyre entirely different

[@richardhill2379]

Good job...great video. I will give it a shot and let you know how it turned out.

[@adrianortega2124]

Yes it's easy, any questions let me know

[@jewellogan4358]

Thank you for being so easy to listen to and understand I can't stand the generic KZbin voice

[@desiderious1]

Be glad you don't have a V-6 powered Journey because those back plugs would be a nightmare to change. Good job on the video.

[@adrianortega2124]

I did some on an avenger 3.5 I had to remove the air intake manifold and climb on top of the engine I feel ya lol thank you!

[@herbboughner3944]

Thanks for the video,you are very helpful in providing it.

[@larrywasserman294]

Thank you very much. Yes I have a question. If possible I know you get a lot of messages. I’m thinking about doing it myself. I saw your video and you pretty much explained everything. I’m kind of afraid of doing it myself. I’m gonna do it just the way you did it. Thank you.

[@adrianortega2124]

You will do great! Just take your time and having a spark plug socket will help you a lot. It holds the Spark plug for you and do not over tighten. If you have another question let me know 👍🏼

[@toyag4204]

Thank you! I'm all finished now! & I'm a woman : )

[@adrianortega2124]

Let me know if you need any other advise on the vehicle.

You still got this car

[@adrianortega2124]

Yes 85,000 miles no issues knock on wood 🪵

[@covercalls88]

Thanks for the upload. Nothing too weird here. I have a 2017 journey and my manual has the spark change at 30,000 miles, maybe because they used the cheaper copper plugs. Also the recommended air filter change is 50,000. To me that is too long, I change every 20,000 or less. Update I did not have to disconnect the wire from the coil for cylinders 1,2,3. I did have to remove the wire for number 4 as the wire led underneath the fuel line. Maybe my wire harness was a little longer. It appears the plugs that originally came with the Journey are cheaper copper. Now I know why they wanted me to change the plugs after 30k miles, if you replaced your plugs the ones that came with the car I suggest you replace them after 30k miles. I replaced my plugs with the double platinum. I will see how they perform.

[@adrianortega2124]

covercalls88 thank you for the info I will check on them

[@ricardoperez8879]

Time to change my plugs. How did the platinum ones work out? Any noticeable change in performance?

[@covercalls88]

@@ricardoperez8879 I did not notice any real differences except a slight mileage improvement of maybe .2 miles per gallon over the copper plugs when new. I would recommend platinum plugs just because they will last longer.

[@TheAverageLifeCassandraA]

My dodge is shut off not lose power but shuts off engine wise when I am slowing down and jerks and lower rpm when I’m driving at a steady speed did you figure out what’s causing it no check engine light either

[@josephromeo3094]

Any info you could provide on replacing the oil pressure sensor would be greatly appreciated Thanks for the vid very helpful !

[@russellcosperjr.6723]

Thanks bro!

[@marcaube7257]

Just wondering if you ever looked at noise at th efront end. The struts and links were replaced along with the sway bar bushings. however the same noise is observed. The Journey is still under extended warrantyy so I am still trying to locate the issue. On the front passenger i hear a phooshsh when i go over a speed bump or a driveway curb. I also replaced the rotors and pads with good quality after market Brembo products. However I hav ebeen told that sometimes after market brake parts will be noisy over bumps this was the case with my 2007 Dodge Magnum. Any ideas this week I am going to a warranty service centre and we are looking underneath at motor mount actually near the sides and on top for the Journey an t ranmission mounts and we will also use a pry bar to see if anything is moving as we pry.

[@adrianortega2124]

Haven't heard anything and I've put almost 60,000 miles on it. Do you live close to salt water?

When you recommend changing the spark plugs when the car is hot or when it is cold?

[@adrianortega2124]

Cold, I did a car hot one time and it melted the rubber holder on the inside of my socket.

[@abrahammorin1285]

This the same setup on 2013 2.4 L? Also how ofter should coils be changed?

[@adrianortega2124]

Should be the same setup if it’s a2.4 I’ve been told you know when you have to change the coils out, like if you feel like is misfiring or running rough I haven’t changed mine out yet I’m at 70,000 miles.

[@abrahammorin1285]

@@adrianortega2124 cool thanks. Im at 65000 and it recently started shaking when i hit 65mph. Just keeps on until i lower my speed. Any thoughts on that?

My dodge is doing this it will shut off not lose power but shuts off engine wise when I am slowing down and jerks and lower rpm when I’m driving at a steady speed did you figure out what’s causing it no check engine light either

[@adrianortega2124]

That hasn’t happen to me but it sounds like a fuel issue. Maybe the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator I would change out the fuses and relays first.

I have a 2012 dodge journey 2.4 my problem is a power drainage something is draining my battery and sometimes after I turn off the car the lights on my dashboard stay on. The only thing I do is turn the car back on and off again then the lights go off

[@adrianortega2124]

Does it have a tough screen radio? What I did is go to the settings and set the radio and the lights to turn off right when the engine turns off. I had that problem too even the radio would stay on for a while. Let me know if that helps

Is a 2018 same as 2015 when changing spark plus? I just got a 2018 and it misses while it's at high way speed, no power when taking off and uses more gas then should. I want to change the spark plus but not sure what is the best kind 🤔 or if this would be same as my 2018. Thank You. Trying to make it home 1600 Miles and don't want to break down along the way

Any videos on replacing the coil pack on a 2017 Dodge Journey 2.4?

[@adrianortega2124]

I would replace the hole coil pack and boot, taking out the spark plug you already have the pack and boot out anyway you can just replace them. Rockauto is my go to for parts way cheaper then local.
