I ended up breaking the first two plastic clips. Finally figured out I could disconnect the pcv pipe and the two screws holding down the spark plug wire block.

[@ejsgarage]

My pleasure Patrik.

[@patrikhala1910]

@@ejsgarage So I have changed my ignition coil, sir, properly, I believe. Yet the car is still running on 3 cylinders only - the only difference is, before the 4th cylinder was sometimes cathing up and sometimes not, but this time, it does not run at all. Spark plugs were done recently by my father-in-law. I probably know the reason of all the problems - someone, in the past, was messing with the ignition coil already, so the connecting rail above the coils is broken "between" 1st and 2nd cylinder... so the cables were a bit dirty, even the connectors are not 100% good. So that may be the cause. Strange but funny fact - the car starts up on 1st attempt 😀😀

Good job Patrik, so proud of you 👏

Yes, you should change the coils. People neglect that all the time and you will get end up getting stuck on the road. They are cheap and easy to do if you follow my tutorial 😄

Removing the air cleaner plastic assembly. Last time another did that service on my Fiat 500, they overtorqued the hardest to reach bolt. It now spins & won't come off. The spark plug wiring connection parts for the plastic release tabs also were broken & damaged too. What a mess that became. The wiring connectors still have sufficient plugging connectivity, it's not an issue just yet. Don't panic if that ever happens to you for the hardest to reach bolt. Why ? The plastic air cleaner part has a rubber grommet that one can lubricate with Vaseline or grease and it will remove like the plastic logo cover with it's 4 rubber pressure fittings at that hardest to reach bolt location. Here's the solution, just lube the hardest to reach bolt & rubber grommet with Vaseline or grease, loosen the 2 front bolts like you normally would, disconnect he rubber hoses & tubes as well. Then GENTLY lift the entire plastic air cleaner assembly to a tilt to the firewall. Work your hands as close to the hardest to reach/remove bolt and gently pull & pry the air cleaner plastic assembly up. You'll be able to pull the grommet out of the last remaining & hardest to remove bolt location, because it's a larger hole that the grommet is a lipped pressure fit. I figured that one out & fortunately I won't have to replace the intake assembly & air cleaner assembly plastics. The air cleaner plastic assembly will not only remove, but reinstalling it will also slide easily over the lubed rubber grommet. The rest of the procedure is identical for replacing spark plugs for he most part, unless other parts were damaged by the last mechanic that performed the spark plug change service to the vehicle. That one hose that goes across the spark plug sensor parts, that should also be removed for ease of access to the spark plugs. And make sure the spark plugs are torqued properly. the last time anyone did that spark plug change on mine, one of the spark plugs had come loose and was backing up & out of the threads. That improper installation & the electrode of the spark plug will get excessively hot and burn/melt off into the cylinder and potentially damage the top of a piston. And that is a catastrophe that could damage the cylinder head & engine. What alerted me was the engine idles rough, the check engine light was coming on as warning & the spark plugs electrodes were almost completely gone on the spark plug that wasn't torqued properly. Other spark plug electrodes were worn excessively. I used NGK's Iridium spark plugs that have longer life than the basic copper spark plugs that were OEM spark plugs. I'll gladly pay a few bucks more for NGK Iridium plugs than have to do this maintenance more often.

[@ejsgarage]

Thank you very much for the tips

[@jimcamp2423]

The reason I suggest taking the hose that goes over the spark plug plastic & metal parts, is that the hose connects at one end to the oil fill neck and on the other end to a fitting there that may also fatigue or break/crack. That hose is definitely obstructing the middle 2 spark plug ports. What I like about the design of this engine, the spark plugs are installed vertically, not horizontally like other engines. Then there's the fact that the spark plugs are sealed with those plastic pickup assemblies. I recommend doing one spark plug at a time, rather than trying to remove all 4 of them & then trying to figure out which one belongs with the other for a wiring harness connector. The spark plug pickup assemblies themselves should be universal for a cylinder. Bit it does matter what the firing order of the cylinder for ignition order & timing. that was more a problem with other engines that have distributors than this engine. I assume the computer controls the impulses of electricity for firing order and in that case matching the wiring harness connections is just as critical as it would be for getting the order correct for a distributor for delivering spark to the correct cylinder & in proper order. Put it back the way it was essentially & it just works. Removing the hose. With the left hand, secure the oil fill neck firmly, then gently wiggle the hose until it comes free & slides off relatively easy. The other end can gently be wiggled off like the one that was secured to the oil fill neck & all spark plugs will be easily accessed to perform the spark plug change, cylinder by cylinder. Once that is done, the hose can be gently reinstalled and the air cleaner plastic part can be reinstalled like it was installed originally. Put the Fiat logo cover back on the air cleaner assembly & start up the car. Should drive like it did before having any problems. Another tip, if the check engine light is on, disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and that resets the check engine light. If there is something wrong, the check engine light will read that error & come back on. There are other parts external to the spark plug system for sensors & valves that could be an issue. But the car should operate smoothly and perform with an even power for the engine combustion, if that's what the issue was for the spark plugs being worn. That's just a quick method to make sure the check engine light is not lit up. It takes several problem free starts to get that light to go & remain off. Rather than endure that, just easier to disconnect the battery & solve the problem with 1/2 an hour for the electrical to discharge the memory of the check engine light. Apologies for being technical, but I want to be as helpful & thorough for those that want to understand what's going on when they turn the ignition to start the car.

Question for you: Would this be the same process for a 2015 Fiat 500L?

[@ejsgarage]

Yes if it has the same engine

[@amberbarbosa4018]

I have a 2013 fiat 500 lounge that’s telling me my Tire Pressure Monitoring system is unavailable. Does that mean I have lower tire pressure or is it a sensor?

[@ejsgarage]

Hi Amber, you can buy this tool kzbin.info/www/bejne/foazd5iPjLaho6c and check the tire pressure. If the tire pressure is between 32 and 35 PSI for each tire and the sensor light is still on then the sensors need to be replaced. Tire Pressure Monitoring system is unavailable usually means that the sensors need to be replaced which I explain on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2Klk2xml8aMaJo

I’m at 85k on a 2012 and same issue as you with that 4th (or 1st) plug. Pulled out the coil pack (after fighting like hell) and it was rusty and nasty, but guess what? I should have watched your video first because I only bought plugs but no coil packs…

[@ejsgarage]

The rusty one is pain in the neck.

[@seepassthebs]

I'm really scared but I'm about to try wish me luck

[@ejsgarage]

You can do it!

[@navynuc1]

At 2:09 you use a 5/16 socket for the air box, there are no SAE bolts on a Fiat, that is a 8mm.

[@ejsgarage]

Ok 👌

[@sound2loud]

Hey how do I know if I need square or circle coil pack

[@ejsgarage]

I will remove the air box and see if you have circle or square.

[@sound2loud]

@@ejsgarage thank you, very informative, I’ll check it out!

[@sound2loud]

one last thing. my code reader said the first cylinder is down. how do i know which one is first and which one is fourth?

[@ejsgarage]

It goes from left to right 1, 2, 3, and 4. It is the far right.

[@sound2loud]

If I change one do I need to change them all?

Thank you

What happens when I do this and turn my car on and it starts shaking and "coughing"?

[@ejsgarage]

The connections are not to the coil packs are not tight and cause misfire. It is better to take it to a mechanic if you don't feel confident to do it yourself.

I put all new plugs and coils and cylinder 2 misfiring engine light blinking now what?

[@ejsgarage]

Check all the connections to make sure they are tight

[@onlyme8870]

@@ejsgarage I've even swapped coils incase 1 was bad to see if the misfire went to another cylinder and its still number 2. Its odd for number 2 if there was a vac leak I figured 1 would misfire. All plugs to torque spec and dielectric grease new pcv and oring throttle body looks good. So maybe number 2 like you said could not be getting good contact. Ill be under the hood again Tues and repost if successful. Update cleaned throttle body, Intake, all hoses, smoke tested no leaks, I even put factory coils instead of the ngk. Ecu reads fine. But after code clearing it lasts about 1 minute then the car violently shakes and engine light flashes. I had the dealer scan it and its still number 2 misfire. All that I can think of is maybe the injector is fouled and caused all this. I can't continue this project til a week from now so if customer can't get an earlier appointment I'll be pulling the injectors to check for failure or improper spray pattern. I've never run into injector issues on a fiat under 100k so I hope this is it if not jts going to have to be someone else. Your videos helped speed this up as now I can take this apart very fast.

I took my 2015 sport to the dealership and they quoted me $700. Plus $600 to replace the outside ambient temperature sensor. Really. My only choice is to do it myself.

[@ejsgarage]

You can do it yourself 👍😊

[@JudahMcA]

@@ejsgarage thank you for the motivation! I had my friend who's a mechanic, replace 4 plugs and 4 coils, for a fraction of the price and it's still messing up. AutoZone and my friend both think it could be a bad PCM/ECM. The dealership said they flashed and checked there's nothing wrong with the ECM. It's cylinders 2 & 3. I'm at a loss. I'm begging to think it's not the plugs or coils anymore.

[@jediknight3504]

Aren’t you supposed to GAP the spark plugs. Did I miss it

[@ejsgarage]

No it is already pre.gapped

[@seepassthebs]

On my diagnostic report it says most likely solution -reprogram power train control module pcm. Secondary DTCs Random misfire detected P0303 Cylinder 3Misfire P0071 Ambient air temperature sensor performance. The shop has been getting over on me. I've been paying for things I haven't been receiving. I caught him the other day. Now I don't know who 2trust that's y I'm learning 2do it myself. I paid 4 new tires 4my mom bc she's getting old n needed them. He put used tires on. I guess he thought I wouldn't notice but I did n told him about it. He tried 2make me think I was wrong until this man walked up n said, brother don't do this lady like that u know that's not new tires. Then he tells the man they like new. He said but the lady paid for new ones right? That was it, he didn't try n make that man believe his BS smh. I couldn't do someone that way .
