Jeff Wingfield – The Champion double platinums always work well. For some
reason Autolites don’t work too well in this car, Autolites are great from
GM cars. NGK’s work well in this car also.
What is the electrical plug under the hood on the 2000 model used for?
I have a 2000 Chrysler sebring convertible and it’s going to suck having to
go through all of this to change the spark plugs!!!
is there a certain type of sparks plugs that you recommend????
Ty for this video….just bought one of these cars ….and ur video was a
life saver !!!!
Wish u could help me with my 96 sebring …those other spark plugs in the
back seems a little hard to get to ..ugh
This was QUITE a bit ago, likely you’ve found the issue. Wanted to chime
in, i’m about to do a little work as i’ve developed the H2O leak in the
water pump area & I am happy syyenergy did these videos, I didn’t want
INSANE labor costs lol As i’m doin the water pump, may as well replace
other items that are worn like spark plugs. Noticed in repair manual that
the mfr recommends replacing Plugs/Wires/Dist Cap & Rotor at same time.
May’ve been done as you did the dist, just what I saw >=]
I just changed my spark plugs last week with the help of this video! Great
guide as takin off the upper intake manifold can be daunting. I have a
quick question tho… I changed my spark plugs due to rough idling and loss
of power, after I replaced those I still seem to have moments in while
idling where it seems like the engine may be misfiring. (while sitting at a
light.) I just had my dist. and CPS changed 2 mnts ago… could my CPS be a
bad one or do I have another problem?
You mentioned the bolts on the backside of the manifold that were hard to
reach (yours were missing and never replaced). Well, mine are there. Any
secrets to getting these out? Does it help to take the hood off? Thanks and
nice video. I’ll look for the follow-up video where u change the plugs and
replace the manifold.
Thanks for the quick response! Is the EGR or small vacuum hose easy to
locate and fix? I can definitely look into it.
Yes, basically the same.
If we had ‘Oscar’ nominations for ‘Best Repair Instructional’, YOU would be
top of my list. It’s not ‘well done’; It’s REALLY well done!
Well Thanks ! 🙂
EGR video watch?v=YGllAqgDuQU
It could be the small hose that runs to the back of the upper intake from
the egr valve. Also listen with a hose at your ear for whistle sounds from
the intake while running at various idle speeds. It is possible that you
have a small leak.
oh, and I know you mentioned just using RTV to re-seal. No need to buy
gaskets. Does this include the manifold gasket also? Use RTV for all? Which
type? Thanks.
EGR or small vacuum leak is also something to consider. Either the EGR may
not be seating all the way and that caused the cold drivability problems or
at small vacuum leak.

Thanks for all your responses. I’ll let you know how I fared.
RTV would Not be for the metal intake gasket. I use a red-colored spray
gasket dressing from Permatex for that but that is not necessary. I use
Copper Hi-Heat sensor safe RTV for almost everything else.
@L1661N6 Thanks. These cars are fairly difficult to work on, so I hope this
makes it a bit easier.
I reused the metal plenum gaskets, but also cleaned them well and used a
Spray Permatex gasket dressing, not a gasket-maker, not RTV. It’s a spray
made to work with metal gaskets to hold them in place and is fuel
resistant. It makes for a good seal even when re-using the intake gasket.
It’s Permatex® High Tack Spray. If you use anything else it will leak.
I am looking for the video when you describe in detail the McMaster
inserts. Which one is it. I have couple 8mm stripped in the plenum. Thanks
Thanks 🙂 Yeah I know how details can make the difference. Glad it made
things clearer.
I remember watching the original video of this on your channel, pretty cool
how you can do a voice over like that. Worth watching for sure!
Great video syyenergy7. I was looking all over the web for this info.
Recently got a 2000 Sebring JX Conv. that quit running as the previous
owner was driving it. They had a lot of backyard mechanics trying to fix
it. I got it with vac and electrical lines pulled off all over the engine.
I started with a compression test, got 150psi on the lowest reading. put
new plugs in and intake back on. Couldn’t see what that vac port you showed
went to so this was a big help. I like your detailed info!
I have a 98 Cirrus Lxi. I have been trying to figure out how to change my
spark plugs. Is it the same engine set up?
There is a possibility that a non-OEM CPS could cause a rough idle or
occasional miss. You may want to try the Seafoam treatment. Also clean the
wires from the battery where they are mounted on the body and the Power
distribution center well. Simple things like that can create weird problems
also. If you change the ignition wires, use Duralast wires from Autozone. I
also found some aftermarket wires don’t work right with this car.
hi , this is John you where correct I just replaced spark plugs ,wires cap
,rotor , egr valve , which the old ones had red rings on upper half of plug
some were orange. the car is running great but service engine pops on and
off check codes giving misfire codes again and 02 heater is there a way to
check for vacuum leak on manifold
Also, do I really need to change to plenum or manifold gaskets like the
shop is saying They would need to do? I’m not trying to give these busta’s
my doe. Thanks!
I am finally ready to tackle this job myself. The mainstream shops are
busting heads for this job. And its mainly to get to the 3 plugs under
plenum.My first comment was about 4 months back. My 98 Cirrus 2.5L I bought
last year with 57,400 now has about 66,400 one month shy of purchase. Runs
smooth. Just seem to misfire every now and then when car starts. But notice
that the misfire stops or slows down when warmed up and driven for a while.
Could this be something else?
