You did something that brought me back 50+years to my childhood. My dad and I tuned his 1964 Ford cab over v8 oil truck and when we got to new plugs he made sure to show me how to check the gap (at the time 28 or 32) . He said “just because it came out of a new box doesn’t mean it has the correct gap. You made sure to check the gap before you installed new plugs. “ My dad would have been pleased. He would have said, “that guy is a real mechanic, not a shoemaker!

It's probably the heat that causes those coils to fail as the problem in both cases were low down, where it's probably hottest. Still, a nice easy fix and it was all put together logically. Compared to the amount of stuff that has to be removed on some engines before you even gain access, that was a breeze.

[@K.Kelly87]

When getting this kind of service, I ALWAYS ask for the best coil and the best spark plug back from those changed. Reason? Stuff happens to you when you least expect it. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's good, or will last as well as the old ones. I had an old spare coil pack saved in the box from the new ones. I have a VW with the PCV built into the valve cover, and I needed a new PCV, thus a new valve cover. The mech mangled a coil trying to get it out. (it's not that difficult, he was in a hurry and rough, and did not see the hold down screw) Blamed it on the coil, which was about 2 yrs old, and told me I needed to buy a new one... BS!.... BUT... I had a good old one in the trunk.. SAVED ME LIKE $60!!!! (BOY you should have seen his face!!!) I have also, in the past, had a plug go bad on the road. Saved a bunch of $$ by having a few old ones in the trunk. I also keep my old belts if they are not broken. You can save $$ in an emergency by keeping old, yet still usable, parts.

[@K.Kelly87]

@Tom An old one is better than a bad one, or missing one, to get you home or to the parts store. I had a chevy truck once that spit a plug out, due to improper torquing, and I was stuck alongside the road while it was snowing. A cheap tool kit, and an old plug got me back to the guy who didn't tighten it correctly. Do you remember the 4.3L 6cyl circa 1991? There was no washer on the plugs for that, so they really had to be torqued right, or POP!!!! They could come out with enough force that they also came off the wire. I have always had older cars. Cars that need you to carry a box, (or 2) of emergency car rations, and a tool box. Coolant, oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, a set of cables, or a jumper box, a 12 volt air pump. a "real" tire iron, a 3 pound hammer, bungee cords, zip ties, and a ratchet strap or 2.... EDIT: Oh yeah!!! And a tow chain or strap!!!!

[@Paramount531]

I had a couple of coil packs go south on my 06 Avalon, my future son in law was working as a tech at the time, he put new ones in the firewall side. I kept one of the old good coils and a 10mm wrench in my trunk just in case any failed on the easy side, none ever did! I wouldn't think the average customer would even know where to look for the coils on a modern engine, so giving them the good ones would probably be useless. If this customer knew enough, he or she would have diagnosed and repaired their own car as I would have. I did this on my old Volvo XC70.

I own a 2015 Nissan Rogue Select with 64k miles. I will file this repair for the future. FYI, I have a 2007 DF140 Suzuki outboard. At 800 engine hours it developed a slightly rough idle, but ran ok. I checked the basics and found the bottom cylinder spark plug loose. All the rest were not tight as they should have been. At 400 hours it was scheduled serviced, by the dealership which spark plug replacement is included. This was done just before I owned the boat.( a 19' 6" SeaFox CC) I'm a retired M-B technician and I always torqued spark plugs, especially the newer mini types. The torque spec. for the DF140 is 32 to 36 ft. Lbs which is 10 ft.lbs more than most spark plugs. Two guesses who did a crappy job, because the lower cylinder spark plug access is partically blocked by the mid engine section side covers. Keep doing a good job Ray, and have a "GREAT" day...

Most modern 4 cylinders are easy to work on still. Its when you move to V6 and V8 options you get the "creative" placement of various components. On my escape spark plugs is a 2 hour job.

[@jdtractorman7445]

Good repair. This is why when people change their spark plugs it's a good recommendation at minimum to replace the coil boots. They are around intense heat and break down over time. Electricity will always follow the path of least resistance, which in this case, means arcing to the cylinder head. It's probably a good idea to replace coils in this situation though as I see another commenter saying these coils were known failure points.

Lol ray has reminded me of my infancy in the mechanics world. My grand am had a misfire. Started yanking wires off the coil. And immediately knew I pulled a dumb one..⚡⚡

[@cyane1577]

That's how I found you yesterday, recommended. After watching a channel I'm already subbed to Junkyard Digs. Good to see there are good mechs still out there. Good work though I'd not of taken the coil out while firing lol

[@RainmanRaysRepairs]

I totally wouldn’t advise removing a firing coil. I like living on the edge and pushing boundaries 😉 (Just a little)

[@keithfork8663]

Good you checked the gap on the plugs.

[@robertrabhudsonhornet5869]

That's cool to save the other coil's for testing and if a Costner that cannot afford to by a new one they just don't have the money and that your a nice man and put the used one in to help them get by

(3:38) "I'm gonna go ahead and do de do de do". Half a pack of tissues later I managed to get my laughter under control.

You're braver than me, I'm terrified of getting shocked.

I found myself wondering if the actual *** *click* *** parts of any of these videos could be made into an "Oddly Satisfying" type of video and whether it would gain lots of views. Having thought about that, I also thought about how often we are reminded by Ray himself, saying "click" when referring to them, if I will ever stop feeling good about those reminders. Short and sweet, just like this video. Thank you for all this "beautimous" work in all your videos.

[@OpCode90]

A click montage would be epic!

[@TrondBørgeKrokli]

@@OpCode90 Would it be better to have such a montage with both the real clicks and Ray saying "Click" as well, or just the real clicks? 🙂

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Make it into a "click" Christmas song.

You lot have got too much time on your hands!

[@markszyszkiewicz]

@@marksmallman4572 lol...right?!!

[@mgmnfld3109]

I got one hell of a shock from a GM HEI ignition when I was young and didn't know any better.

[@WV-HillBilly]

😥😥😥 Ray denies us the Oil Changes nowadays. Have we been bad viewers? 😪😪

[@jefflong1839]

I had a misfire on a 2015 Buick Encore from the spring pushing hard against the boot and actually rubbing through. Drove me crazy for a bit since the coil was still firing like in this video. Went old school and removed the plug attached it to the coil and set the plug near ground and that's when i noticed the spark escaping through the boot. Gotta be a better way to encase the spring. The new set of coils was exactly the sam way. Wish I had seen this video before I ran into that!

[@joenissan]

🤣 the funniest part of your vids are when you mimic the phone ringing!!!!!

[@mongoz1993]

It’s smooth like butter Ray lol

[@jimzivny1554]

Funny things happen when the angry pixies escape! The customer went with the best possible repair.

[@UrbanWolf316]

You inspire me to be a better mechanic. I really wish my spark plug/coil job would go that easy on my 1998 F-150. The 5.4 triton really tucks some of the spark plugs away by the firewall. Any suggestions/wierd tips to achieve clicks? 🤔

[@RupertReynolds1962]

Maybe worth a reminder here that older cars may not handle the higher voltages from pulling back the coil lead. Newer cars seem to be mostly immune. As the spark gets longer, the voltage just rises until it jumps somewhere. On some older cars, the coil primary voltage rises high enough to damage the ECU. On really old cars, the stray spark can start tracking on the distributor cap or rotor arm. Days, weeks, months later, the tracking can grow until the engine stops and leaves you stranded--ask me how I know :-)

[@michaelpressman7203]

Years ago I got into capsa had carbon tracks from Sparks Arkansas over the place and I used to take a rag and clean them out and the Florida got in a little WD-40 put the cap back on and keep on going have a good day

[@richardanderson4750]

Love your videos ive learned more about auto mechanics then ever love the way you show and tell the way it should be done thank you p.s also love you humours ways you do things

[@jamesmillhouse4795]

As a recommendation on the torque wrench. For the non mechanical incline. Try to explain about the (0) oring recommendation.👍 Great videos 👍
