Good video man…thank u…yur gunna make me look like a pro in front of my chick right now haha:)
If the Accord has the 3.0L V6, then yes, the procedure is the same. As far as the firewall, I wish there was a way to move it out of the way. Too bad Honda didn’t make an access point or door on the firewall to give people just a little “bit” more room.
Is this the same way you change the plugs on a 07 accord ex, and how do I get the firewall off
NGK’s typically come gapped from the factory. You can double check it to make sure. If you do need to change the gap for some reason make sure you use a tool that latches onto the ground electrode. If you stick a gapping tool between the ground electrode and the tip you might ruin the plug if you damage the tip.
Hey man great video, very helpful… So I am planning on buying the NGK Iridium spark plugs (NGK ZFR5FIX-11). I noticed that you didn’t gap your spark plugs… I have a 2003 Acura Cl Type S (It’s a V6 J-series engine), and for that particular NGK Iridium spark plug, it says gap at .044; Is it really necessary to gap these spark plugs? I don’t want to accidently break them, but would like them to perform well for my vehicle.
@6824069, you should see an improvement in MPG and throttle response with new plugs in the engine. Make sure they use the correct ones. If you don’t mind me asking and sharing with the community, are you having the work done at the dealership or an independent shop? Second questions, how much did they charge you? Thanks in Advance, Bundy.
I have my 2007 accord v6 getting timing belt and spark plugs done this weekend at 99600 miles. Hope I notice difference with new plugs.
Chris glad it helped you out.
Very informative on how to change out the spark plugs in a J series engine. Great job!!!
Your Welcome dude
Thank you dude.
Yes it is for the spark plug threads.
I assume the anti-seize is for the spark plug threads, right?
Thank you ninhbac04
Great video dude. Very informative and well shot. Keep up the great job.
@scottyray12, congrats on the 200,000 mark, that is something to be proud of! One of my vehicles has 300,000 because I changed the fluids on a regular basis. Stay with factory plugs, I recommend NGK Iridium for the Acura / Honda J Series Engine. You will notice a difference once you do change the plugs. I hope you have changed the timing belt in those 200,000 miles> I’m glad the video has helped you. If you have any questions let me know, bundysgarage@gmail.com. Bundy.
my 2001 MDX just turned over to 200,000 rides as smoth as they I drove it off the show room floor. But I dont know if the plugs have ever been done. This looked pretty simple even for a guy who has never changed oil before. So i am going to do it great video
If you are using an NGK plug they should come pre-gapped. With other types of manufacturers of plugs you might need to double check. NOTE: If you are using Iridium plugs be very careful when gaping because if you damage the tip the plug is rendered useless.
Do you need to set the gap on the spark plugs, or is the gap already pre-set?
No problem. Just make sure you do it when the engine is cold and take your time when putting the new spark plugs in, you do not want to cross thread them. Glad I could help you.
Thanks man, I was wondering how to do it on my new used Acura TL.
