how to replace the spark plugs on ford E350 5.4l van spark plugs replacement step by step part1

[@DaveTheHVACguy]

Getting the fuel rail back down and secure was hard for me but glad you showed how. Had a spark plug blow out. I figured it thanks to a couple videos like yours.

[@JM-AUTO]

geat job, and thanks for watching this video.

[@johnathonjsmith]

What other videos

[@brainlessmoto6405]

Seems like a very easy way to replace the injectors as well! I have a 1997 e350 with a stuck open injector. While doing the plugs im gonna try and do injectors too.

[@dianasegarra752]

Great Job! I like the down-to-earth real deal mechanic vibe. I learned to speak Spanish in Spain & am working on my Ford Trucks in Germany. I did understand the quick translation of Magnet to IMAN. Cool stuff & keep up the good work!

[@JM-AUTO]

a beautiful comment from Germany it is a great help for me thank you and it is a good thing you learned how to speak spanish great job.

[@kalvinhengler8827]

Your English is awesome! thanks for the video, thinking about doing this job on my 04' E350

[@JM-AUTO]

thank you I appreciate it very much.

[@blairjohnson5299]

Thank You for this video! Gave me a better perspective of how to start it

[@JM-AUTO]

thanks for sharing

[@toniocavalari6936]

You would think Ford would have designed a better route for the fuel rails. One has to take apart so much just to get to the coils and the spark plugs. Great job brother 👍

[@JM-AUTO]

totally agree with you but that is how manufactures work, they make some things easy and some very hard to get them done. thanks for the visit.

[@DavidRamirez-qz6wk]

You have won for best mechanic tutorial video ever made. Hope ypu have a video for any car i work on

[@JM-AUTO]

Wow, thanks! I appreciate it very much and thanks for watching.

[@tedspens]

The spark plugs are certainly not easy access. I want to change the plugs on my 2001 E-350 and I'm glad I watched your video. I'll be sure to allow plenty of time to take everything apart and put it back together. Thanks! 😊😊🛠🔧🔧

[@JM-AUTO]

yes not that easy but you will be doing a great job on your E-350 and thanks for visiting my channel

[@wyatt1153]

Don't use anti seize in these engines. Torque to 25 lbs to stop the plugs from spitting out. Only use Motorcraft plugs also

[@reverse_aid0744]

Spark plugs don't matter as long as they meet oem requirements.

[@wyatt1153]

@@reverse_aid0744 They matter big time in older Ford's. Autolites and others will misfire.

[@htatesil4192]

😂😂😂😂 no anti seize 25lbs bro the book says 15ft your risking breaking them

[@wyatt1153]

@@htatesil4192 That's the new recommendation from Ford technicians. 25lbs is really not a lot of torque. Even 20 would do it. 15 is to light. The problem is that the exhaust gases eventually back out the plug with light torque. There's only 4 threads. I check torque every 12-15k. They'll never back out with 20-25 lbs. No anti seize recommendation. They're already nickel coated.

[@JM-AUTO]

The problem is on the cylinder head not on the spark p, not enough thread on cylinder head from manufacture. So when the plug blows up it brings the thread with.

Thank you GoldenChildMovers, LLC!!

[@wailingwarfare]

Gonna have to do this eventually! Just got to get some tools and a couple of prayers...

[@joshpinedo4996]

@6:24 “it’s big bolt” thats exactly what I was thinking lol

[@yogibeer9319]

You make it look easy! Thanks for great video 👍🏼

[@JM-AUTO]

thank you and and God bless you and your family as well.

[@TERRORoftheLORD]

I have the same Milwaukee cordless ratchet, and I opened the head on mine, and greased it. It took some time and careful work, but yours sounds like it is very dry inside, and mine runs very smooth and quiet now.

[@JM-AUTO]

great, I should have done that too but never have the time, now mine stapped working so I bought another one, thanks for the suggestion and knowledge.

[@BlackandWhitecustoms]

You can actually use a 5/8 spatk plug socket to remove the plugs and you won't need a magnet to pull plugs out

[@goldenchildmoversllc-mover6980]

Still need a magnet if it hits something and fall out.

[@donovansherratt2093]

Great work! Thanks for sharing. We just blew a plug. I will be interesting to see if it is the same cylinder that the sleeve came out of yours.

[@JM-AUTO]

im sure you will do a great job and thanks for coming to my channel.

[@wyatt1153]

Torque the new plugs to 25 lbs and you'll never have a problem. Use Motorcraft only.

[@name-ob6np]

Good Work !!

[@mountainwolf1]

These directions will work on a 2012 Ford E350 5.4l v8 aswell thanks for the advice.

thanks for visiting this channel and your comment.

[@WHITECOMOFLAGE]

Could you provide the address of your shop? My husband has the exact van and we need help to get it up and running ASAP. We are on LI. Spark plug 'popped'. Helicoil work needs to be done, and we cannot find anyone to do this. Thank you for a great video.

[@teddnorman7689]

hello did you get help with your van. I have the same van and need a tune up... the video was great but why did ford make it so crazy to get to the plugs?

[@johnathonjsmith]

Great job

[@iLikePhilly]

what is the name of the pliers for removing the coil packs

[@JM-AUTO]

11 In. Straight & 90° Offset Long Reach Pliers, but there are several degrees like 20 or 45 degrees and you get them at hardbordfreight tools.

[@spidennis]

What year model is this? Newer ones use a different kind of longer plug?

[@davidwelday3276]

You convinced my I'm not doing this myself!

[@JM-AUTO]

im sure you can do it, it is not that bad. try it.

[@interstategar]

Were any of the coils bad?

[@JM-AUTO]

they all were good.

[@jamesissound]

When i was lifting up on the fuel rail, one of the fuel injectors detached between the rubber and metal. Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks

[@JM-AUTO]

if the injector did not brake then you just put it back just lubricate the o ring so it does not bind but if the injector broke then replace it.

[@jamesissound]

@JM Auto Repair Thank you. The o ring was stuck inside the metal portion. I fished it out and reattached it.

You're welcome! and thanks for the time on this channel.

[@dave1283]

American engineering. Half a day's work just to get to the spark plugs. This is why when a neighbor asked me if I would change the pugs on his 2004 E350, I said no way. After all the BS, then you run into something like the insert issue or you break the plug.

[@arispowers6062]

It weems like the gas is never going to stop dribbling out of my fuel rail. There's no mention of it leaking out in the video, so its kinda freaking me out.

[@JM-AUTO]

unless there is a fuel leak but it should only leak very little when you open it and it should stop

[@arispowers6062]

@JM-AUTO ok, well, there was a constant dribble that never seemed to stop, so I reinstalled the rail, especially since other videos I found on this job didn't mess with the fuel rail. But apparently I didn't get a port seated right, because gas poured out when I turned on the engine. The rail is definitely annoyingly in the way, but it can be worked around, so I think avoiding the much worse situation with leaking fuel would have been worse dealing with the bad ankles caused by leaving the fuel rail in place
