Did anyone have the connector that looks the same for their ignition coils? Mine look like that but hey, apparently everything that is on my car didn’t come from the factory that way lol

@KE0ZCO says:

Thank you for this video.

@THRobinson says:

Wish there was a video for the V6..
Lots of info about the 4cyl but nothing for the V6 model.

@UltimateA.I. says:

Is there anything I can do to try to get the valve fixed without taking it out? Maybe and get the light to go off.

@perrysmith5973 says:

Will the check engine light go off by it self?

@amandalamoureux6671 says:

Will it need to be re-programmed

@quintinsramek9826 says:

Is it also 89 in/lbs for the exhaust solenoid? I assume it's an obvious 'yes' but I'm superstitious lol

@dogmoo says:

That’s a flat head

@bmartinsounds says:

I've never fixed anything on a car before in my life and I just fixed my issue with this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

@weshuff8436 says:

Thinking of tacking this job on my own how vital is it to use a Torque wrench?
