Spark plug replacement 2013 Ford Edge 3.5L V6. Lincoln MKX How to Install, remove or replace

[@jasonthomas9364]

Really makes me appreciate my 1979 F-100 and how easy it is to work on it when it does need attention

[@benfeld1]

This is an understatement.

[@davidmckibbin4440]

same with my 61 corvette

[@inflameslp311]

This video was great! For once, I actually had everything I needed to get the job done in one session. It took me about 3 and a half hours to do this myself, but it resolved my engine misfire issues. Thanks for posting!

[@Phiidyn]

Thank you! I started getting a misfire on my ‘13 Edge. Thing has 230k miles with factory plugs. So I figured it was time. Your video made it possible and now my daily is back in tip-top shape. Thank you so much :)

[@renebleu8711]

I have a 14 edge, I love my car- spark plugs gave out at 120k- I hope to keep her going another 100k miles.. I’m nervous to change it but excited to learn

[@tnicholas6620]

after watching this vid, took me about 2 hours start to finish to change the plugs on my 2012 Edge limited 3.5 L...much thanks...

[@mariettadashcam6857]

T Nicholas trying to debate if I want to pay some one to do it on my 13 I could do it but looks like a pain to do it

[@tnicholas6620]

@@mariettadashcam6857 in my neck of the woods, paying a pro to replace the plugs is probably a $250 job...it only cost me $25 for the Motorcraft OEM plugs. The toughest part was disconnecting and reconnecting the hose that connects to the pcv valve in back of the manifold (around the 17:00 minute mark of the vid)...super awkward location...

[@vikfan4life]

I have a 2013 Edge and have to change my plugs soon. What a pain in the butt it is to get to them. When I had a Tauras it was so easy, the plugs were right there and you didn’t have to take all the crap off. Thanks for the informative video

[@weebdad]

Still a relevant how-to video in 2023. Thanks for the excellent attention to detail. Plug clips and friction clips are so finicky. So, you thatking the time to show that is great. I just replaced the myford touch sync 2 digitalizer on my 2013 edge and the interior design is just as absurdly crammed together and running over itself as under the hood it seems. You've been a great help!

[@avguytx4361]

After replacing 24 lifters, 24 rocker arms, and 6 spark plugs on my daughters 2015 Jeep Cherokee Sport with the 3.2L Pentastar V6, these will be simple. That took 2 days to do but it saved me about $4k versus a shop/dealer doing it. My 17 year old son drives a 2013 Ford Edge SEL when he's not taking my truck. It's all just part of the "fun" (not) of owning a vehicle with a transverse mounted V6. Hell, even on my 2012 Nissan Titan, I have to remove the intake manifold just to change the starter. Some smart engineers for sure.

[@kwb377]

Thanks for the video...just did the plugs on my wife's 2013, took me just over 2 hours.

[@fr.kenfleck7501]

WOW ! Great video. Convinced me not to attempt this on my own. You are really detailed and I am sure have help many do the job right or like me, get a mechanic to handle the job.

[@tracysuttles]

Man thank you for this video, got the plugs changed just fine just as you showed! Awesome thanks for the directions!!

[@julioaguilar3495]

I follow the video and all these directions you gave watch it over and over again and I change my spark plugs great videos my SUV runs great now thank you for your advice and your expertise

[@fixingcarsandstuff]

Glad it helped

[@wesmoc]

This was the best video. Worked perfectly on my 2011 Edge. Note: if you over torque the intake bolts even by a little bit, they will snap.

[@DanielL-ty6pf]

Great video. Made the job so much easier. My son and I got the job done in 2 hours. If you take your time it isn’t as bad as it seems. Motorcraft plugs come gapped at .051. We did replace the gasket and PVC value also. We also disconnected the battery. Thank you

[@eparreira65]

Just a quick thanks for the video. Been working on my own vehicles for years, but seems more and more I’m having to look up how to do once basic things, like changing spark plugs. Took almost 3 hours, but it’s done, and your video really helped. Thanks again.

[@LBZ65]

Thank you for a very well documented video and not skipping any steps in the process was able to follow video easily and replace the spark plugs. First time I’ve ever had to do this in depth of an auto tear down so again, keep up the great work and video quality. The hardest part of the entire process was trusting my calculations from inch pounds to foot pounds and setting my torque wrench up correctly 😂

[@grel0mtl]

Thanks a lot, I change the spark plug on my car by myself succesfully because of you. Great video. Make more please!

[@SaltySouthTexan]

Good quality video and I like that you showed how to remove tabs without force or breakage. Solid video

[@paulkimble736]

I’m surprised you didn’t disconnect the battery before unplugging those electrical plugs. Glad you didn’t have to drop the engine to get at those back plugs!

[@artc9114]

Just did mine today great Referance Thank you.. While I was back there I changed that PVC valve as well the local guy quoted $275 just do the valve...

[@mickeyscott1054]

You are a good mechanic and teacher. You also do good on your camera shots.😊

Thank you. Best video out there. The how to close ups of the clip removals are GOLD INFORMATION!!

[@joedozier7027]

Best 'How To' video I have ever seen, what a great job...!!!

[@MarkMalleck]

This was a great video. Thank you. I changed my plugs today, and a coil pack to solve a P0301 error code.

[@ShellyRae349]

Hello my friend, Thank you so much for the help. I just wanted to tell you something about that troublesome back hose. I could not get it back on!!!!!. So I put a 4 1/2 inch in place of the 2 1/4 and stretched out the end with a punch, put the after market hose clamp on and tightened it up after installation. Worked perfect.

[@RollinIsbell]

Thank you for the video. Even here at the end of 2020, it's still very relevant and was my "go-to" reference piece. I tackled this project on my daughter's 2012 Ford Edge SEL 3.5 the day after Christmas. Even changed the "pita" PCV valve and changed the oil.

Job well done, I love seeing someone doing a spark plug replacement the proper way by not using anti seize, it's just a myth that is dying hard.

[@avian7999]

Thank you for this video, that hidden bolt for the upper intake plenum would have probably put me in the loony bin if it weren't for you ! I wonder how many good mechanics broke the eye off or broke the intake plenum trying to get it out without removing that bolt, I was having such anxiety thinking about changing those rear plugs, but your video showed it to be a bit complex but not that bad, at 65 years old and not rushing it took me three hours, engine now runs like silk, Thanks Again !

Holy crap. Thanks a ton for posting this video!......gonna take it straight to my mechanic. Lol

[@debomyguy]

Did you have to reprogram the ECU after disconnecting it ?

[@leegladden3175]

? Did you disconnect your battery before you started charging your spark plugs? Is it necessary?

[@dianewilson6024]

Awesome video and thank you. just replaced plugs on my 2013 edge 3.5. No need to gap OEM motorcraft plugs as they are right and claim non gap adjustable on box. after 102k miles my used plugs were gapping @ .60k trickiest part was that lower right side support bolt for intake. Does not appear to mate intake to block, just aids in support of far right side of intake I think. Yes, took your advice and replaced rear spring clamp on breather hose with round screw clamp. super helpful video.

This is very similar to the mkZ. Thanks

I have a question about your 3.5L Ford Edge spark plug replacement video. What is on your iPad? Where can I find a procedure manual and also while I am in there I want to do a fuel injector flush/clean...where can I find that? Dealer wants over $800 to do this, plus what it would cost to rent a car... thanks in advance

Also if you're replacing coil packs or have a misfire and trying to figure out which is which. standing in front of the vehicle with hood up looking towards back of vehicle 1 2 3 O O O ---------- O O O 4 5 6

[@michaelleedle7783]

quick question... I've watched 2 different videos of this job, as I'm just getting ready to begin the adventure, and it looks like both of you left the battery connected throughout the operation. Is there a reason behind this? Unplugging the main wiring harness scares me with the electrical system still connected.

I know I'm 8 months late. But if you still have your edge and any questions answered. There is a group on Facebook called MACT FORD EDGE. it's an excellent group if you have any questions about your vehicle.

Got a 2010 Edge Limited with repeated Check Engine still/after replacing OEM 6 Spark Plugs, 6 Coils & PCV. Is Spark Plug #5 in center (1:44)? Again, still getting P0122/P0174/P0205/P0223/P0305/P2110 from BlueDriver. Anyone knows the fix or answer what to do next? Just helping a person with ALS. She was hit hard with the bills from Ford. Has only 78k. I thinking of Fuel Injector #5 or ECM.

[@gabrielledavis1827]

Is this also for a 2014 Ford Edge?

[@jakeadler8106]

Probably if it is a 3.5L V6, it’s what I came here for. Learned I’m not attempting that mess on my own

[@renebleu8711]

Yes

[@amyjordan7882]

Is this the same concept for a 2011 Ford Edge Sport? Pretty sure this is why my car has progressively gotten worse with the sputtering. Don't think it's the fuel pump ( gawd I hope not)

[@datboybutters9178]

How would we know if we did it right

[@samuelswanson4986]

Yeah I’ll never complain about a 2.5L flat 4 on my Wrx ever again

[@ABCAcoustic]

Changed my spark plugs last year using this video then I started getting another misfire this year, so I just changed the coils. Car starts for a second then shuts off, put old coils back in and same problem. Went through this vid many times to see if I missed a step but I didn’t. Any ideas?

[@mackenziet5516]

which gasket has to be changed in order to do this job?

[@fixingcarsandstuff]

Just the upper intake manifold gaskets. U may be able to reuse them. If you feel the rubber gasket is raised from the surface of the manifold, they should be ok. But yes, new gaskets would be best.

[@conspiracyrealist6470]

am I the only one who is watching this and realizing how difficult this process seems?

Maybe with some tools, some practice, is not a big deal. But if it is the first time, thats different! What i do is writing the order and take photos to remember the order later.... Thats better than change the water pump $2000 workshop labor!
