FORD ECOBOOST- How To Easily Change Spark Plugs On A 2.0 EcoBoost (most 2.0 applications)

Hopefully this will help others out there. If not, yeah yeah yeah I’m going to hell yada yada

[@Redeemed081]

Take the five mins to take the wiper arms off and that plastic piece that is over the top of the air conduit off. Makes it much easier. No knuckle busting required.

[@BlakesCars2]

Five minutes to take off, five minutes to put on, 5 to 10 more minutes to find the tools to do that. Now you’re up to 1/2 of an hour.

Glad to finally find a video on this model and motor, it has saved me a lot of time! I do have one question though. Whatryewlookinatmegutfer

Never just drop a spark plug into the cylinder, that is how they get the gap thrown out of spec.

[@joe-vu7ce]

I think Ill take the cowling off. might be easier

[@beeda69]

My 3rd spark plug has a couple tube wires blocking it. How do you not have that?

[@TheAngryGenXer]

I’m having a hard time finding video for a 2020 escape eco boost. Any leads? Thanks everyone

[@BlakesCars2]

Shouldn’t have to do plugs on a 2020 already

[@TheAngryGenXer]

@@BlakesCars2 I got 100k on it 🤷🏻‍♂️ I hear turbo more often too?

[@66block84]

I will pay more attention to tolerances if / when I buy my next vehicle. I have a 2015 Escape & the lack of clearance makes me let the shop change the plugs.

[@27sport86]

Did you really put dielectric grease on the spark plug threads?

[@Killem-Dafoe]

Yes he did 🧐

[@jasonspencer9706]

​@@Killem-Dafoe ​Yeah. I can't believe he did that. Maybe nickel based anti-seize. And maybe a third as much (it only takes a tiny amount). But never dielectric on the threads! That's for the rubber boots. 🤦‍♂ Watch a different how-to video people!

[@markwise9138]

Could you loosen the clamp on the air intake over plugs #1 and #2 and remove the air intake housing altogether instead of bending it up? Or is it too much to do easily?

[@terf7020]

yes, this is what i did, worked great

[@DirtyRottenBikes]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@Freemasonshair]

Cool video! Thanks for the air intake tip!

[@MarkK01]

What brand air filter are you running and does that style make a difference?

[@MarkK01]

I can not understand why you would not do it the proper way by taking the cowling off. It does not add that much extra time.

[@azera55555]

I test drove the new Escape Hybrid yesterday. It was SO nice. Was so much smoother and faster than my Fusion Hybrid and I absolutely loved the new digital gauges, they were so high res

[@BlakesCars2]

One of those are probably going to be next after this. Hopefully I can at least hang onto this for a year or two 😂

[@Cjwolfee]

Size gap? And what was the gap before the tune?

[@chris323i]

thumbs up for using OE!

[@jeffrogers2180]

Nobody says 15k, Ford says 100,000.

[@isacchiu4286]

Dodge journey does

[@jeffrogers2180]

@@isacchiu4286 I don't think we're talking about Dodges here.

[@isacchiu4286]

But i am

[@markbeiser]

Ford also says the transmission fluid has a 150k mile service interval. Good luck with it if you go with that...

[@jeffrogers2180]

@@markbeiser I just changed mine at 119, 000... And I worry that I waited too long.

[@wingz777]

Thanks for this video it helped a lot! I also removed the other two bolts that secure the intake tube it gave me a bit more wiggle room lol. Do you know if a DTC P0303 refers to the third cylinder from the left (when facing the engine) or is it in reference to another cylinder from the firing order? Thanks again👍

[@pablomachucachavez1014]

do you figure it out??' mine is p0304..check the coil and is okey..so i suspect is the spark..but i change them...and after that problems start..i can't remove it...

[@wingz777]

@@pablomachucachavez1014 Hey Pablo! Guess what? Search up long block service for ford escape..I hope you "Escape" this cost!

[@JeffinTD]

Usually on an inline cylinders are numbered from the pulley end to the transmission end. If the misfire is not the coil, plug, or injector there was a series of eco boost known for coolant to combustion chamber head gasket leaks…

[@Liferoad371]

That looked like a pain in the ass

[@8RaiderNation3]

I would recommend just use a short socket.

[@thunderroad7289]

It actually is easy to work on

Great job breaking your lower air cleaner housing 2:22 mins

[@BlakesCars2]

Literally nothing broke on it. Also good job at liking your own comment.

[@kepo-le3ed]

Do you still have your g6 gxp?

[@BlakesCars2]

kepo2000 yes

[@kepo-le3ed]

BlakesCars2 I found one exactly like it for $6,400 with 110,000 miles do you think that is a fair price for it?

[@firstlast1732]

Didn’t show anything

[@scottpearce7466]

100k for iridium plugs. 20k for copper!

I’m tired just listening to this.

[@antman1251]

Dang guy your coolant is low low

[@isacchiu4286]

I hate that my garbage 2020 ford escape car to turn off and on at all stoplights and stop signs and as soon i release the brake it turns back on i love my 2015 Dodge Journey that baby is way better than my ford escape

[@shanec4494]

That is a weird feature, everything performance wise with the escape is superior. Faster and more fuel efficient. If you spent the money on the 2.0 ecoboost anyways. I can't say on the regular non turbo engine though. I test drove a journey and didn't dig it myself, it felt a bit sluggish (storage and space was far superior in the journey though) as they say though... different strokes for different folks.

[@barberdoug6930]

my 18 Escape has a dash button to turn off start stop feature

[@lukerussell7766]

Wires won't unplug no matter what I do! Man I hate fords

[@MandusahRamirez]

This is NOT an American Car lol.

[@BlakesCars2]

I mean it was designed in Detroit and manufactured in Louisville. How is it not American lmao
