Thanks so much Brutmaster08. I watched your video over and over, as I repaired my wife's car. It was surging, and ran a scanner on it, and it was the coil in #3. I busted the hose that went from the throttle body to the firewall of the engine. Anyway, the dealer sold it for 35 bucks. However, even though I ran into my own issues seeing the video over and over again was all the help I needed to get the job done right... all thanks to you. Now my wife is happy again, as her car is running smoothly, even though she only drives about 200 miles a year,lol.God Bless Man.

Just completed the job on 2006 Mazda 6 3.0L! Had a code P0301 on cylinder #1. Just replace the coil, it is not worth your time to diagnose. Autozone will do a free code check and the code will tell suspect cylinder, mine happened to be #1. Also,some suggestions. The two hoses connected to the throttle body were easier to remove by disconnecting the other end of the hoses. Access was adequate to remove clamps and did not remove Battery. Also get a new gasket for the EGR valve, same material at the manifolds but circular. I did however re-use the one at the EGR connection. This video was accurately captured and of great help.

It's a good video. Useful hint for those removing the EGR valve - the nut attaching the exhaust pipe is threading back into the valve. All you need to know is that when you have the crescent wrench on the sucker, turn it clockwise to loosen.

Brutmaster08... the coil change went perfectly! Well, not really perfectly, had to fight with a couple hoses and connectors, but other than that, it went exactly as your video, minus the spark plug change. (got those replaced by the dealer earlier... if I saw your video sooner, I would have done those myself too.) The car runs great, the check engine light turned off. For a guy who has only recently started working on my own car... this is a big deal. Thanks again, and awesome video.

Every electrical connection I removed was needed to get intake out. I would just shoot some carb cleaner in the throttle body. I used anti seize on the threads because where I live the temp can go down to -40 below and up to 100 degrees. The temp changes so much and with all the salt they use it causes corrosion about everywhere. Don't want them to freeze and rip the threads out if I need to replace them again. Best of luck with our project!!

The I4 is simple as cake. Remove plastic cover, unplug coils, remove coils(do not mix them up), then remove each spark plug. Install new plugs...not too tight. Install each coil where they came from, install coil wire, install plastic cover, and start it up. My bro has an 07 I4 and put the Bosch 4504 in there. MPG went from 26 to 28, put an K&N cold air went to 29-31 depending on driving habits. If you need a video, let me know, will make one tonight.
