Very helpful , clearly said thank you

[@johnhudson3095]

easiest engine to change plugs. love my 2003 civic. i did the entire job in less than 20 minutes, and saved 2-300. :)

[@SpudEater]

The forbidden 10mm, I’ve heard of such a socket , I touched it once and never saw it again

[@sk4tingpie]

7th gen civic, 10 mm socket? Never heard of it.

[@AntonioMartinez-sf5wm]

Hahaha my problem yesterday trying to change my back plate

[@NelsonkMartinez]

Great video. Very articulated and elaborate in the explanation process and great high quality definition video. I will definitely purchase my parts from your site from now on. Thanks for your expertise and dedication. This saves people so much money.

[@steveperuski5547]

I’m just about to go outside and do this and was curious what tools I was going to need and this video covered all the bases thank you very much👍👍

[@mercedesm1336]

This video was very informative. Took 30 mins for the entire job.

It only took me so long because the rubber boot in my socket kept sticking to the Spark Plug, I ended up guiding it how he did with a magnetic pole, and then using the socket without the boot to put the new spark plugs in. Turns out it wasn’t the Spark Plugs though and we changed the Ignition Coils there at the end of the video and it works like a charm now.

[@ndea2525]

Thank you for this video. It was extremely helpful, very easy to follow. I was able to change the plugs on my daughter's car myself and it didn't take long at all.

[@stevestokes4206]

Another thing you can do is if you don't have a spark plug socket and once you get the spark plug down in there put your socket down in there and turn it counterclockwise until you feel the threads lineup and then slowly turn it clockwise this way it'll thread properly

[@JayRaySR5]

Thanks for the video! My one concern is I don’t have a torque wrench. Can I do this without one? I’m working on my 2005 Honda Civic and it was having misfires. One of my cylinders went bad and I’m thinking about replacing all the spark plugs.

[@philliptaylor5981]

Thanks for another detailed video. I would recommend commenting on and displaying the old spark plugs. Very good skill to teach.

[@nb9536]

Great video, my honda civic sometimes shakes and dashboard engine light on. Is that sparking plug or connector, thanks

[@cleamoore1998]

This was defintaly great but could you address the different torque requirements depending on the spark plug used.

[@richfisher9456]

Nice job with this video - very informative and easy to follow . . . so simple, I hope even I can do this, and I'm very optimistic. Thanks for the great instruction and clear video guide.

[@Gshock714]

Is it a good idea to put dialectic grease on the coils before connecting it back onto the spark plugs?

[@mEllzee]

My new plugs came pre gap with 0.044M do I need to make sure it 1.0mm-1.1mm?

[@jknocal]

Best video I have seen for this procedure

[@learneasyfilipino3731]

Thanks alot. Very informative.. God bless u. ❤

[@Beast2011ps]

mine have a spring that fits right on top of the plug, and it goes inside the coil. Do I need those small springs they are a pain to install. I only have 3 of 4 left?

[@ybrik5937]

What's that magnet Rod, is that for automotive shop use or just a regular telescopic magnet Rod?

[@SincerelyChiss]

I’m going to do this by myself I have a misfire on cylinder 2 so I’m only going to change that one out this video is really helpful I’m going to follow it step by step I just need to find those tools

[@1AAuto]

+SincerelyChiss Thanks for watching. We carry the NGK spark plug kits on our website for these cars. Here is a link to them if any of our viewers needs to replace them www.1aauto.com/spark-plug-ngk-6994/i/ngetk00001?KZbin&CTA+Comment&SWC4

[@kpopoj]

If you don't have a torque wrench will it be fine to tighten without one

[@1AAuto]

Yes, you can do it if you don't have a torque wrench. But it's really important to not over-tighten these since they're threading right into the engine. If you over tighten and break the threads, then you're gearing up to cut new threads in the top half of the engine and that's a real bummer of a job to do. So, if you can't go out and pick up a torque wrench, just be sure you're careful. Hope this helps! 1aauto.com?KZbin&CTA%20Comment&ATony 866-403-3393

[@mercedesm1336]

kpopoj if not.....try asking your local auto parts store if they may have a few tools to borrow.

[@cookiewookie85]

Should you disconnect the negative battery terminal first?

[@samuelsanchez4885]

I need some advice: I have 2005 civic what spark plugs are best for this 1.7 ? Are copper better various platinum?

[@nicholasg.4778]

Samuel Sanchez I just came from AutoZone Yesterday for the exact same car, the recommended spark plugs were the (Bosch Double Platinum) Came with a complete set for 21$ which was great price for me.

[@flaboi404]

Samuel Sanchez any ngk be good

[@rimonramis8813]

iredium

[@liveandletlive2894]

Ok so the way it works is they're all good but copper wont last nearly as long as iridium

[@ProwlerDigital]

Anyone know why the civic was so loud when it was started? was that the timing belt going? I have the exact civic and would like to know just in case. Thanks!

[@Joshua-zy1tf]

Michael McBride He's got a cold air intake. Wouldn't be surprised if he had a modified exhaust as well.

[@fredcdobbs823]

What plugs did you suggest?

[@ledzeppelin1212]

Should you put antiseize grease on the spark plugs?

[@1AAuto]

+ledzeppelin1212 Thanks for checking us out! The spark plugs should be installed dry. There should not be any type of anti-seize lubricant on spark plug threads.

[@Zack-uw4jk]

Thanks bub. Very helpful and consice video.

[@jaimegenovajr3257]

What’s the torque specs for 04 civic ex? Please reply thank you so much

[@isaacgates9598]

same

[@taichin22]

Thank you for these useful videos!!!!!!!!!!

[@rayruggles4480]

Mix in some anti-seize compound, squeaking is dry ,be nice to alloy..

[@1AAuto]

+Ray Ruggles Thanks for the tip!

[@fredericveillette597]

I can't use my regular 5/8 long socket to reach the spark plugs. It gets stock in the coil pack cylinder, a kind of sleeve. Seems like it is too thick. Probably that's why a spark plug 5/8 socket is the best for the job.

[@nicolasbernal742]

What could I use if I don’t have the 13 pound torque wrench?

[@woolymammothproductions5162]

what is it if my honda 2004 civic drives on highway at ninety kms if i acelerate to go faster its sputtering slows down a tiad and engine light comes on till i slow down, took to mechanic nothin gon scanner? not sure if its a cam sensor or waht i can do before it leaves me stuck on side of road

[@1AAuto]

Do you have to gap the spark plug? I don’t have a tool for it

[@1AAuto]

+Ryan Riley You can purchase a spark plug gap tool at any local auto parts store. Thanks for watching!

[@1guitarnumber]

Good video buddy

[@stevestokes4206]

I do have a question about the ignition coils does it matter which one goes where or do they have to be pulled out and put back in it exactly where they were I know it sounds like a stupid question but when I got my Civic they were numbered so I just wanted to know

[@1AAuto]

+Steve Stokes Thanks for your question. It really shouldn't matter in your case since the coils are all the same part. If you want to keep track of which coil goes where that is not a bad idea, just to give you piece of mind! 1aauto.com

[@robertotorres4690]

Do I have to put each coil back into where I took out from? I took them all out and do not remember where they were.

[@1AAuto]

+Roberto Castillo Torres It would be ideal to put them back in the cylinder they came out of, but they are identical parts so it should not matter! 1aauto.com

[@BrianJWood-dl3dv]

annoying background music. unneeded.

[@berretta510]

What if there is oil in the spark plug well?

[@christletaylor1161]

Oil is leaking into your head

[@ItsMichaelCalvillo]

Is the gap step at 2:58 necessary? The spark plugs I bought didn't come with a gap tool.

[@1AAuto]

+FreshMicksMusic Yes, all spark plugs should be checked for the correct gap prior to installing them. You can buy a gaping tool at your local auto parts store. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@rullmourn1142]

plug gaps can be thrown off in shipping..rough handling.

[@Nick_Logan]

No Anti-sieze lube? Is that a thing or the past?

[@1AAuto]

+nick logan You can put a tiny bit of anti-seize on the spark plug threads so that the spark plugs are easier to remove next time. 1aauto.com

[@captainkowalski5176]

All depends on the plug. Most plugs today do not need any anti-seize.

[@flaboi404]

ngk do not need them

[@bluerosegurl]

If you do not have a spark plug socket-you 100% need one.

[@eduardoyanez7371]

Can anybody help please? Ik this doesn’t have anything to do with the video but I recently bought a 2005 Honda Civic ex and it ran good at first u could hear the vtec all the time but one day while driving and going to 60, my car started stuttering moving back and forth and it didn’t move up past 60 because it would almost force itself to not go further and once I found the problem it was the camshaft position sensor which I changed and didn’t see the problem no more but now my car feels like it lost power and I cant hear the vtec anymore. Anyone know anything?

[@ivanretana9065]

Puede que sea el sensor de cigüeñal ya que va sincronizado con el sensor del árbol del levas, te recomiendo si cambiaste uno también. Cambies el otro

[@alanfreitas6373]

What is the torque of spark ignition?

[@Gshock714]

13 ft lbs

[@chrisf7731]

I dropped my socket down the hole and 5/8 don’t fit mine :(

[@guardian8319]

I think you can use a 16mm 3/8” Deep socket as well

[@lukesanchez3741]

Where do i find the oem spark plugs

[@guardian8319]

I recommend NGK G power Platinum spark plugs my 2004 Civic LX runs really well I’m impressed they restored all the lost power and MPGs

The whole interweb says the plugs you recommend are not compatible with a 2002 Civic.

[@1AAuto]

+Jim Thanks for checking us out. These plugs are specifically for the 2002 Honda Civic SI 2.0L. This will not work with any other trims which may be what they're referring to.

[@y25151956]

how do i know if all my spark plugs are working

[@RCMGPs3]

Rpm would be stable and shouldnt be going up and down, and usually if you have a loud exhaust you can easily hear a misfire

[@cableguynoe]

DId you replace the coils?

[@josemartinez575]

noe ayala how do you know when you have bad coils???

[@liveandletlive2894]

@@josemartinez575 your engine will misfire

[@mrgattiewittheshotie5295]

Shouldn't you change the coil pack?

[@1AAuto]

+Mr GATTIE wit the shotie Typically if you are doing preventative maintenance this is recommended but if they are not failing you do not necessarily need to change both.

[@SirAndrewII]

Got charged over $400 for a spark plug replacement. Don't want to be robbed again :(
