Get some wobble joint extensions for your socket set ( I'm not talking about flex extensions or the one's that look like universal or CV joints). They look like normal extensions but have a tapered end, when you install a socket all the way they're a standard extension but if you pull the socket out a bit it can wobble around. Perfect for doing those spark plugs.

Ah, the dreaded 6th plug. I skipped most of the video and went to the good parts. Great video.

My FPV Typhoon F6 number123 , had oil in the first two plug galleys . It was from the VCT Actuators leaking slightly. I have now fitted a delete kit and vernier cam gears from Atomic Performance. Engine response is much improved. My car is one of only two here in UK. I found a 6 inch extension with universal joint gets rear plug fine. Keep up with the Barra thing. I love mine.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

In the UK? That's cool! Thanks for the info. From memory I didn't see any oil trails from the VCT solenoids so I think mine were from the spark plug seals.

Another common issue with the BA-BF Sean that causes a poor idle or surge in idle on the 4.0 is actually the throttle body which is another issue on the BA-BF. And normally with a clean with some throttle body cleaner and a brush and cleaning the butterfly. Will sort out a poor idle

thx for that info...have had this issue on my NA XR6 for couple of years. Will do this and hope it resolves the issue

[@michaeljones7497]

@@xlr8g2 use the Nulon brand based cleaner i find it's the best one and its safe to use on fly by wire throttle bodys the only thing with the fly by wire throttle bodys is you need to have the key in the run/on position and a block of wood on the throttle body to open the butterfly use a tooth brush and clean both sides of the butterfly as well as sides of the butterfly. And also give the throttle body a scrub and spray to. Once you put everything back together and start the car you may find it has trouble starting or stalls or runs on a few cylinders. This may last up to 30 seconds while the solvent burns away then car will run normal.

Non existent when you drive with normal power. Cleaned throttle body and MAP sensor and changed spark plugs. Only have intake manifold gasket or coils to try now... Cheers for this great video.

[@jhaynes85]

Did you end up resolving your issue?

[@kieranfarrell5714]

When it's cold, try flooding the intake with carby cleaner, it will take a little bit to start but it will blow allot of gunk out.. give a few revs, repeat the process until the exhaust passes clear. That will improve your idle.

[@johnblood3367]

I had same issue basically happen on my 2007 BF2 Fairmont Ghia for the last 2mths . On mine while driving the speedo needle would drop to zero, the ABS, Stability control an Brake system fault (!) Would light up. Pull over turn off engine restart all good for a while . Could be an hour could be a few days before it did it again. Anyway today got the same repair done above you did . New spark plugs an coils. ( got all genuine Ford parts Urideium Spark plugs). Car is DEFINITELY smoother when accelerating. Quiter when idling also. Did a good 50km test drive. A interesting fact to I have done 234,000km on the Original spark plugs. I was told they should have been changed at 100,000km. I was never told that . Car has run beautiful for the 14 years I have owned it. So I think that is awesomely impressive 234,000km on the original spark plugs. Maybe as I estimate 70% of its driving or 80% has been Freeway/ Highway speeds is why they lasted so long.

[@ThePowerbloke]

The main issues I had with my XR6T were front brake calipers always warping. When I bought my MKI back in 2005 it was only 18 months old and still under warranty. Every service the dealer would re-grind the rotors but refused to upgrade to vented discs. I only owned it for 2 ½ years and I never experienced any other problems with it. Great video as always Sean. Thank you. :-)

Had the exact same issue with my BA II XR6 Turbo back in the day. Changed the plugs and coils and whilst it improved it, I still felt it wasn’t right. Ended up taking it to a performance mechanic and got a tune done and it fixed it 100%, car felt heaps better (a little bit of extra boost helped too)

I reckon the sound system sounds great too. I was abit concerned because of some comments Ive read on various forums.

[@Jpgundarun]

Just fixed a rough idle and a misfire in my EL Falcon. After asking around everywhere about injector replacement/cleaning and cleaning plugs and checking plug leads It ended up being a crack in the inlet manifold Gasket. A Quick test to check for air leaks is to spray some Parts cleaner along the manifold gasket, if it makes the engine idle worse you have an Air leak.

[@zero012345678910ten]

Removed my plugs on Ba Barra awhile ago.Two Tips Label wires before removing.and spray some wd 40 or a like and let it soak for an hour if you don,t know how long the plugs have been in.The longer the plugs are in the more carbon build up.If when removing plugs you notice it gets a bit tight stop and go the other way.... repeat tighten loosen motion and use wd 40. Cheaper than rushing it and stripping a spark plug thread

[@philip4193]

Thanks for your detailed and informative DIY video! I've seen a few other videos where they'll just pull a couple of the front plugs and then just jump to the end when they're all out and then make an off-the-cuff comment like "gee that last one was a bastard to get out alright" however not give the viewer any insights as to how they actually achieved the task (ie, your trick using the 2x short extensions).

In regards to oil under the coil plate, I've heard it generally happens from the VCT sensor gaskets failing. just thought I'd mention that in case you were still finding oil :)

[@marktaylor3802]

if you get it in the plugs/coils wells its the rocker cover gaskets.

[@swingingvoter4309]

That oil can get to that spot if someone spills a bit while filling the oil filler (common), and the gasket is not in perfect position. I am pretty sure that is the explanation. I can get the last spark plug out using a short extension and the bendable knuckle extension from a very similar Stanley tool kit. I am not a mechanic, but have owned a few falcons.

[@glennarmstrong7891]

Whilst I have had a couple of coil packs fail over the years on my BA XR6, the problem I had the most difficulty diagnosing was a failed inlet manifold gasket creating a vacuum leak. Similar symptoms to a failed coil but harder to isolate.

In regards to the clutch squeak try greasing the point where the clutch slave cyclinder meets the clutch fork with high temp grease and also spray silicone lubricant or oil up the sping/moving components behind the clutch pedal itself. Has happened before on my Hilux. Also if you hear a loud clicking sound as you depress the clutch , its most likely you slave cyclinder. Cheers for the great video mate

[@Noelly1980]

Great video bro. I have to do this job on my FG soon. A little bit of silicone spray on your spark plug socket will help the spark plug release from the socket too. Obviously not dripping wet (spray in there and wipe it out ensuring the rubber grommet at the top of the socket is clean and dry), but we do that with the motorbike plugs, it is the same situation where they are an absolute sh*t to get to.

Haha I use the same 2 short extension technique for the back one, have found electrical tape around the joins works to keep things together, I also like to use some new 3/8 hose to stick the spark plugs in, just insert the plug into it, you can get them fairly seated with it and tighten from there, also doesn't hurt to use some anti sieze. Workshop manual states 14-20nm for the plugs 👍 something else to keep an eye on is the exhaust manifold bolts, they love backing out.

Very common problem with the BA. Don't buy the cheap green ones off eBay they stopped working immediately. i went to Repco and bought the right ones and problem solved. You didn't show us the fun part of getting the last screw out of the cover. I have a flattened waxed veggie box that I lay across the engine so I can lay on it to reach that last screw, it also saves the back.. You worked out the trick with number 6 plug way faster than I did. Well done. I can do it real quick now but the first time there were many harsh words spoken. I always put the oil filler cap straight back on to stop any bits falling in there. I also bought a long magnetic claw for picking up those bolts that do tend to get dropped . I see yours has much better average mileage than mine. If you clean out the throttle body your idle will improve a bit more. It's important to use the correct solvent though. It's amazing how much dirt gets into the TB. You did take us for a drive around Ipswich at night.

For smooth running use Lucas injector cleaner or Royal purple Max clean

17:58 uni for the ratchet after all this time since you posted to get the last one

Should also put the oil cap back on while working on it as I have dropped a bolt down there once

I have been having problem similar to this on non turbo territory misfires on cylinder 3 only when cold once warm it goes away, it throws DSC light on and when u cycle the key it seems fine , problem is not coils or plugs, no noticeable vacuum leak, compression is good now suspecting injector. Ordered new OEM ones once changed I will update if it fixed the fault

Nice easy insertion first time :)

Try a little lubricant, like silicone, on the rubber portion of the spark plug socket

[@mickfitchettchristine115]

My sisters BA Turbo had an idle problem so I did genuine plugs and coil paks which made a bit more power and a slight improvement in the idle. The problem was the idle was still not smooth. So what I found out was the hydraulic oil had leaked out of the engine mounts. Once the engine mounts were replaced the engine idle was perfect. The engine mounts are hydraulic and the oil had leaked out so they did not work properly.

For the last plug you just need to use a 3/4 length and pop the spark plug bit out onto the swivel part of the connector.

The oil shows you need to get a rocker cover gasket kit. It includes gaskets around the coil packs and PCV.

Yup they'll need doing at some point.
