Replace spark plugs

99% of the time it was caused by dropping the plug into the hole.

I used a 10" piece of rubber fuel line to install the plugs and turn the rubber hose to get the threads started, then torque them down with sockets. Never cross threaded plugs using this method.

 

wow, 47% off today. For $12.69, I grabbed one too.

 

I replaced mine at 18k. All the passenger side ones were loose not even finger tight and a couple on the drivers side were loose, but not as bad.

Jokes aside y'all should make sure your plugs are tight. FWIW, my oil changes smelled like raw gas until I did the plug change too.

 

Is this really a 3 hour job to replace all the spark plugs?

 

Passenger side is a piece of cake but the drivers side is pretty bad. I think it took me maybe 2.5 but that was goofing off too.

 

No, maybe 20 minutes passenger side, 40 minutes drivers side.

 

Nuts. Mine is a 2020. Only 18K miles.

 

One thing I saw in this video he removed the air intake but didn’t bother to cover the throttle body with that dusty ass engine .lol

 

Good point, I was just reading the same thing on the Denso website. Luckily I just checked my gaps and they were all good.
