You either have some blow by from the spark plug or you have a leak possibly from the valve cover or another location.
Hey 1aauto if three of my plugs on the passenger side have oil on the electrode end what could that be?
If the car hasn’t had plugs, fuel filter change, and just regular maintenance in awhile, it might be worth the time to do it and see if it helps.
whats up so lately on my 99 lincoln town car i notice when i accelertae the car sputters or had a hard time accelerating this doesnt happen all the time but most times could it be i need a tune up if so should i have to replace all my coils or just the plugs?
I was able to replace coils and spark plugs at 6 and 8th cylinder on a 99 navigator. It runs much better. Thanks for the video.
I am going to change coil pack today .
Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Thanks for posting all your vids! So many people are intimidated by newer cars (including myself) so It’s awesome that your willing to help out. If I can ever use your business I surely will.
If it’s really stuck in there and won’t come out with a decent amount of force, it might break on you. If it does break, there is a tool to extract broken plugs for the head. If the spark plug threads become ruined, you may need to also have the head re-threaded.
What if a plug feels “stuck?” Should you keep increasing force? Can a torque wrench be used to guage whether a plug is “seized?” What’s the maximum safe torque to put on a plug when removing it from a 4.6 liter Ford?
The process should be very similar.
On the newer cars, usually when they start to fail you can replace them. As long as they’re firing good you should be okay.
I like your vids man, I don’t know how many I’ve seen but I’ve seen a few. I had a question though. After how long would it be a good idea to change the ignition coils?
And I got a lil trick I picked up from my pops for worn out sockets and since this is for spark plugs it works beautifully.
Shove a piece of rubber tubing down the socket and make sure it’s a snug fitting piece, you’ll see that it does a good job of gripping the plug so you can pull it out a lot faster.
would this also apply to an 03 Crown Vic?
You may want to start with replacing the spark plugs first if they’re bad.
a I got a lincoln towncar my check engine lite on. I got it testes its codes read like misfire 1,3,5 dont know if its the spark or coil would u know??? spark plugs (cheap) coil(expensive)
The Anti-Seize wouldn’t cause that to happen. If the spark plugs are left in the heads for a very long time they could break of damage the threads when taking them out. You may want to have someone take a look at it if you’re having a hard time removing them or threading them back in.
my husband is installing new Motorcraft Platinum/Spark Plugs into our 2000 lincoln towncar. and this is something of the same situation that happened with our spark plugs. he added the anit-seize compound and now two out of the 8 spark plugs are not screwing in anymore. as if the threading in the cylinder is stripped. so at this point we do not know what to do..? what is a helicoil?
If it’s on the driver’s side of the motor and it’s in the way you might have to.
do u have to take the fuel line that is on top??if im not wrong that is wat they told me it was the chrome piece on top ??? plz if u can reply thank u
You should be able to just pull it off of the end of the spark plug if that’s where it’s connected to.
I had the metal connector break off in the spark plug tubes on the spark plugs. How can I get them out. The tube is off but the metal connector inside the wire broke off and is staying on the connector.
They would be on the opposite side of the motor in the same spot.
i cant find the other 4 i know there are 8 how do i get to them
The anti-seize should be fine. What tends to happen on those applications is that the plug itself can strip the threads out of the head. If this happens the spark plug hole needs to be fixed with a helicoil.
