Thank God I have the 2.3L inline 4 in my Escape. It’s a breeze compared to
the V6. All that work just to get the spark plugs out? What was Ford
thinking–good lord!
I was able to do the job without removing the cables, just the pass side
cable bracket. Also I did not need to remove the vacuum or coolant lines
under the throttle body, and then just slide the intake forward instead of
removing the intake totally to gain access to the rear coils and plugs.
Saves a few steps and time.
You shouldn’t gap already pre gapped iridium plugs lol
Cool! easier than I had hoped!
Thanx! :)
What a pain in the ass! I hate modern vehicles, whose brilliant idea was it
to put the spark plugs under all that shit?
Take your time and getr done 1 hr.
My 2001 had plugs that rust thru, fubared the cats : Didn’t know until
kid said car been running bad, I’d change those pig out before 100k or
8yrs. The valve cover holes can hold water inside and stream the crap out
of the plugs!
Yes, do yourself a big favor and replace the pcv valve. It’s still a pain
to change, I have a 2004 v6 3.0. You’ll need a very long nose pliers and
the pcv valve turns on with a type of thread. Get it on right or you’ll get
oil smell through your vents.
Thank you for your Ford Escape videos.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THIS VIDEO!
Is there are torque spec for the manifold bolts?
thank you this was very help and i feel more confident now
Thanks for this video. Hopefully I can follow and save money doing it
myself. Thanks again.
I have read on some escapes the wiring harness is incorrect for cylinders
1,2,3 3 is on 1 and 1 on 3. This happen to me on my 2002 escape,
installed wrong at the factory… I’m not much of a mechanic, but with time
I think I could do it..
Its crap like this that makes people neglect their engines. I would use
something heavier than paper towels to cover them. I have also found
Iridiums to be a waste of money, standard NGK’s have performed better for
me. Good video, clear explanations.
my question is… why design a engine that to replace the back 3 spark
plugs you have to remove the intake manifold… just pure stupidity… i
say take the ford engineers throw then in a slave camp and make then work
on these pieces of shit every day all day… guarantee designs would change
drastically
Great video, very clear explanation on removing intake manifold.
I was able to change plugs and coils on my 2007 Escape, in about 1 and a
half hours, using this video. Thanks a bunch. Saved me some serious cash.
ha
Great video thanks. My wife’s 2003 V6 Ford Escape only had a few small
differences. Here is what the 2003 needed for this job. Spark plugs =
Motorcraft SP-433 platinum spark plugs. Upper intake oval rubber gaskets =
Ford YL8Z-9H486-AA (was a package of six). Replacing the oval gaskets also
fixed a shuttering/stuttering problems the Escape had when the motor was
not warm.
Thanks for the video. I think with your video pretty simply to do. I’m
going to subscribe, thanks again.
Why do all cars these days use plastic shit! I have a friend that owns a
BMW it too has this plastic crap all over it guess to cut their costs and
stick it to the buyers
This engine is so unreliable and merely turns fuel into noise, typical ford
crap
My tribute with the v6 has 64K miles on it…when should i do the spark
plugs ? and what type should i put in ?
I just done this job and I managed to lift the manifold up and over the
right with out removing the coolant lines. Might have been unique to my
model year but worth trying b4 removing the lines. Less to mess with.
