Okay. Now I have completed the change-out of the coil pack. My wife now rates the smoothness of the test-drive as a 100%. I now have a happy wife and a happy life! THANKYOU!

[@s33therfan]

Great work , thank you very much for the feedback.

[@PerpetualMan22]

You know that be right

[@pedroariza7892]

Super clear instructions, videos like these save a lot of time which is why I watch them! Thank you!

[@s33therfan]

Thank you very much for the great feedback.

Was running into misfires and poor performance on my model. I’ve got some plugs and wires to complete the tuneup, but decided to go with just swapping packs and it’s damn close to feeling smooth again. Thanks for the info, saved me time!

[@s33therfan]

Glad this helped , great job getting this fixed.

[@PerpetualMan22]

Yep, anytime a piston do not fire, the next piston to fire gets an extra squirt from the injector, then the idle is too fast so the next injector retards the fuel flow, so it goes ru ru ru, and the tack goes up and down... you know the deal, smooth low idle is the clue all pistons are kicking the mule ...

[@mikeh3334]

thanks alot for this video. was a 30 minute job. thankfully the last shade tree mechanic that worked on our power steering rack said screw that 10mm under the resv. tank and left it lose for me lmao!

[@s33therfan]

That worked out great , and not a bad idea to leave out . Thanks for the feedback.

[@michaelmitton7578]

THANK YOU, never mind the 68 year old guy, how about this 75 year young guy,..but for your video i was stuck ! When i put it back together i left that backside nut loose : ) I love you tube how to fix anything videos ....God Bless you buddy.

[@s33therfan]

Greatly appreciate feedback like this. Thank you very much. God bless you as well.

[@PerpetualMan22]

Yep, stupid manufacturer, i replace with a nylon lock nut, and set the fit to tight and forget about it, top two bolts hold it on...

[@frederickellis2414]

Thank you for showing that 10 mm nut under the power steering reservoir. That was the worst part of the whole job. At 68 I’ve seen a lot of crazy odd places engineers put bolt and nuts and this is a tough one. Dodge always seems to put spark plugs in tough to get at spots also. A 1968 GTX w a 440 was really bad.

[@s33therfan]

I appreciate the feedback . Thank you for watching.

@@s33therfan hey WHAT specific year is this one? Bc I'm looking at an 06 on Friday and the grill and headlights are dif shape than the one in your video, the video one is what the one I. Buying looks like. Wondering if his years are mixed...?

[@texascclp1445]

Super Helpful! Couldn't figure it out with repair manual. It was of no help. Doing this today plus wires and plugs. You've got me over the 'Hump'. Take Care!

[@s33therfan]

Glad this video helped you out , thank you for the great feedback , much appreciated.

[@davidbwa]

Just finished replacing the coil in a 2002 T&C. The engine runs SOOO much better now that cylinder 2 is firing. Like the comment before me - it was VERY helpful knowing about the hidden 10mm nut. Both the where and what size. One thing I did that was helpful is I took a paint marker and wrote the numbers on the plug wires and also on the new coil unit since it didn't have them. I'll probably never need to mess with them again due to the age of the van but either way they are clearly labeled now.

[@s33therfan]

Great tip , thank you for the feedback.

[@snickpickle]

You have problems with Cylinder 2 as well? I wonder what’s up with that? Must be a temperature issue or something?

[@PerpetualMan22]

Yep, best to number the wires...

[@snickpickle]

VERY well-done video! I would have been pulling out my hair when breaking the reservoir, not knowing about that 10mm bolt holding it on! Thanks for posting.

[@s33therfan]

Glad it helped!

[@ignats54]

I’m ready to replace the coil now. You make it look simple. I bought a used coil, 30$. Hope it works. Wish me luck.

[@s33therfan]

Hope all goes smoothly , thank you for the feedback.

[@jmjpowerjoule]

I am a little cautious about that "used" coil. It is "used" and out of the vehicle for a reason. I paid $70 for one at NAPA that has a 3-year warrantee. I am perfectly fine with that. I placed my "used" coil in the trash, where it belongs; because I know that it no longer works properly. I would not want to burden anyone else with the problems my old coil did to me. I hope that used one works for you anyway.

[@BillyGrands918]

Thanks for the info. I feel confident that I can do it now.

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the terrific feedback.

[@kathryncrouse2645]

Thanks for the help. Never would have found the 10 mm nut in back.

[@s33therfan]

Glad I could help , thank you for the feedback.

Amazing. Worked great. Good vid. Thank you!

[@brianwoodfill9663]

[@s33therfan]

Happy to help! Thank you for the feedback.

[@Doraj44]

Thanks a million. I just changed my coil pack thanks to you. All Praise is due to Allah!

Fantastic , thank you very much for watching.

[@GonzoNo1]

Thank you. I´m going to do this tomorrow, saturday. BIG help to see this before I start. I should had problem with that hose if I did´nt see this. :-)

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the feedback , hope all goes smoothly.

[@KhaiMahase]

just found this video, it helped me out... Sadly the wire that sends info to the computer from the coil pack sort of broke, like the clip to lock it in place broke, it works but I'm thinking that if we hit a bump and it comes out the whole car shuts down. I was just outside in 39 degree weather to get it out. I was wondering why that pump wont come out then i realised there's a bolt holding it in... thank you so much

[@s33therfan]

[@PerpetualMan22]

Just bought one today and it be surging, drives fine, but it goes run run run, ...thanks for the great video on coil pack replacement, I replaced all the injectors, next new plugs, and if that do not fix it, coil pack replacement...then the old ODBII code reader...

[@jgp5775]

hi thank you for your video . Do you happen to know the extension length you used to get that third 10 mm screw loose on the power steering unit? I am having a difficult time with a 3 inch extension . the only other extension I have is too long . I need to purchase one to finish replacing the coil.

[@jmjpowerjoule]

Okay. Wow! Thankyou! Now I can get mine done.

How long is that socket extension? I forgot to ask that in the previous comment.

[@nicholmoore2742]

Can you tell me the name of the vacvum hose you unplugged. Tried to unplug it and broke it.

[@ValosarX]

I got lucky and some mechanic or another didn't tighten the bolt back for my power steering. On the flip side when I pushed it out of the way to make room it starting leaking fluid all over everything. Got the job done though and all my issues went away. One of the terminals was clearly burned out or damaged

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for sharing and thanks for the feedback.

[@Meowskiii]

The power steering pump hose and a couple other things are in the way of me putting my tool on that nut! I cannot see it and it's rusted. The PSP hose is blocking me. I tried for 2 hours and failed

[@mikemarvelous]

In the middle of changing out our coil pack, only problem is the wire harness is being a pain in the butt and not going on all the way so as to click in. How did you get it on all the way?

[@s33therfan]

Try using some dielectric grease , I use the stuff a lot. Thanks for the feedback.

[@bdmenne]

Nice. Just the video for me

[@s33therfan]

Thank you very much

[@Xavie905]

me out , I changed the spark plugs and wires on my 01 Carvana and after doing that my van has a ruff vibration at ideal or coming to a stop on red. I got a mechanic to clean out the threading where the spark plugs go and it keeps doing it maybe it’s the coils ? I also need an oxygen sensor maybe that will do the trick? If anyone has been in this situation help me out thanks !

[@s33therfan]

Those O2 sensors can for sure cause a lot of issues. Thank you for the feedback.

[@RicoSF415]

What were your symptoms to change this coil pack? TIA

[@s33therfan]

Basically it was cutting out on acceleration. It is pretty much always a coil pack , unless there is bad wiring. Thank you for watching.

[@timfrank7461]

Is this the same thing as a ignition coil?

[@s33therfan]

Yes it is . Thank you for watching.

[@austinrainey7217]

Thanks save my but on the p.s thanks again

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the great feedback , it is much appreciated.

[@wuzzleone]

Doing this was hard af and I broke that hose just by pulling it how can I fix it

[@nicholmoore2742]

Did you figure out what the name of that hose is because I broke mine too🤦‍♀️

[@MrBodean2010]

My mother 2004 chrysler starts up rumble then shut off. Do you think this could fix the issue

[@s33therfan]

I would check for codes first. If there is no codes you could start with some basics , spark plugs , wires. Perform a compression test , fuel pressure test. Autozone has all these loaner tools , free with a deposit. Thank you for the feedback and best of luck on your project.

[@MrBodean2010]

@@s33therfan cylinder 2 misfire, and running rich both banks

[@wonderplanet343]

Thanks! How do you know it’s bad? I didn’t get a code and only after weeks of trouble a master figured it out. AND why do they go bad at all?! Cmon Chrysler Corp...

[@s33therfan]

Well this one I had actually broken one of the electrodes myself , however you are correct sometimes they can be hard to diagnose. One case was my explorer I had been having sluggish take off but other than that nothing no codes. Finally it threw a code for one of the coil packs and that lead me to replacing them all. After that there was a big difference in power that I had not even realized I was missing . Thanks for watching.

[@jackiew.747]

About how much did you pay for the coil pack?

[@s33therfan]

I ordered mine and it was around 40 with tax and all. Thanks for watching.

[@basicboxingtalk7318]

I brakes aren't working right

[@mmdoz711]

Maybe they need bleeding , if u got new brakes and they tell u they need bleeding in. The Boots ( no Oil) brakes keep getting struck .?

[@williamcarswell1343]

How do you know when the coil pack bad what does it do,I have a 2001 town and country chrysler

[@s33therfan]

You would notice it cutting out when accelerating and you might have some rough idling. Thanks for watching.

[@matthewsalvador9783]

This helps a lot thanks I sub and liked

[@wuzzleone]

I changed spark plugs and wires and it gave the same code so I used process of elimination
