I followed the video pretty close, but there was no way in hell I was getting the plug wires off and out of the plug. the fire wall prohibited it from going high enough to get the stem of plug wire out of hole. I was able to get only one and I thought I was going to break the plug wire socket.
Thanks cocobumper for this video. I did this job today on a similar engine, 2007 Hyundai Entourage 3.8. The locations were identical. Unlike you though, I did not need to cut all those tie wraps, only the one on the far left rear, and one wire near the throttle body. The most frustrating part was that 14mm bolt that held the rear of the manifold, once I finally figured that out (an hour later) and removed the 2 bolts that held down that hose you mentioned to the manifold, it was easy peasy!!
Thanks for the vid !!
If you look up inside the coil pack that goes on the top of the spark plug, you’ll see it’s a spring that touches and wraps around the tip of the plug. It doesn’t have the “cup” like older cars had hence you don’t get that snap feeling.
Thanks for the vid. I replaced my front 3 in less than 30 minutes. I’ll tackle the back 3 when it warms up some in a couple weeks. Appreciate you taking the time to share!
Thnx so much! Saved me a lot of frustration, and knowing what size wrench helped a lot. Still not a fan of the bolt in the back. One things strange to me but guess it is designed that way…. spark plug boots don’t seem to snap going on plug. Could not even feel spring resistance but there is no other way to do it so tightened down bolt and called it a day.
Gave up for the night. I have only the driver’s side rear left. Having trouble getting enough space to clear the boot.
thank you so much just changed the rear it was a mission but just changed it
Thanks…I do appreciate your time to complete this video. It’s my Sunday project. I feel confident after the video. Happy Holidays!
This was a great video.It helped alot.
wow you r the man thanks so much for this viedo
Awesome slideshow. It sounds like you did not replace any gaskets, correct? I am using this diagram flic.kr/p/dcyvJb (must copy and paste into url bar) and it looks like a 6-hole-gasket is there under the manifold, what my diagram calls the surge tank. Did you reuse your gasket?
Lastly, what kind of socket did you use to remove the spark plugs themselves? It sounds like the tools needed are: 10, 12 & 14 mm sockets, flat-head screw driver, X-type of socket for plugs, anything else besides beer?
great video cocobumper, I suspected it was laborious and long to do that. My worst nightmare was unplugging the electrical connections/ Was afaid of cracking the plastic.I prefer to change plugs more often than 96k km, but looking at the labor involved, its worth the extra bucks for iridium coated.
good, but no 2006 rondo rear plugs change out
Great video, thanks a ton for making it. It’s easy to remove that final hose in the back by undoing the two bolts that hold it to the manifold. Took me 3-4 hours to complete (basic tools, no mechanical experience)
Thanks! This was very helpful
Clear presentation well done! I found missing bolts on ground wires and brackets which were supposed to hold the hoses everywhere as well, all the tyraps were previously cut, wires were not run where they were supposed to be run as shown in your pictures etc…all must be from previous service visits at KIA since it was always dealer serviced! Thanks to your great pictures I was able to make it right!
Thanks again!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! You saved me a ton of money and time. 20$ and 2 hours complete!
