Your the man bro. I just had to replace one of my spark plugs and coil packs today and looked it up, came across your video and you made it so simplistic. Keep it up bro I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. I’ll recommend your videos to everyone I know.
thank you so much, I'm glad it helped you out and I'd appreciate that 👍
Watches multiple videos on this. Some super short, but yours was the best. Thorough. Im not ever ditching this jeep. It has the forever warranty that jeep no longer offers. This maintenance I can do myself. You gave me confidence, tools to use, grease. So many videos, no prevention like the grease. This jeep is my baby, my first vehicle off the lot with 55 miles at purchase. Thank you for your knowledge and experience.
This video has now helped me twice in the last two years. Lord bless this man ❤
I’m entirely confident I can do this myself now. Thank you very much.
Dude, you rock! This is the second video I’ve watched from you to fix my car. I’m on a road trip through the desert to see family and was afraid I’d have to stop my trip to get my car fixed. Pulled off the freeway into an autozone. Diagnosed my car. Got the parts, watched your video and now I’m driving smoothly on my way to see our 90yo grandma. You literally saved me precious time and $ once again. Thank you!
thank you so much im glad i could help out this comment is great and this is why I enjoy making content to help others, safe travels
Just the video I needed to see. Will be changing the plugs on my daughters Jeep when she comes home. Pretty easy job. No need to pay someone to do it.
thanks for the comment 👍 yes its easy to replace them save yourself some cash
You made this process so easy, I appreciate you!
thank you, glad it helped you out
I just changed the spark plugs on my 2017 Renegade and it cured the slight skip, miss, and or hard shift occasionally happening
awesome im glad it fixed the issues 👍
Interesting, did u replaced the coil packs aswell? Im a little mechanically inclined and i was thinkimg of replacing the spark plugs, days later it started giving me the typical "transmission" issues, went to get the trans update from the dealer and went away some what, but you are the second person i see on youtube that says this fixes that other issue.
Great tutorial! Knocked it out pretty quick and the Rene seems to idle smoother
thank you, im sure its happy to have new plugs
Awesome. My rene with 63k started sputtering a couple days ago. Seemed so daunting, but if this is the issue, I now know I can this!
Thank you
I hope it fixes the problem for you, thanks for the comment 👍
Thank you for this! I'm going to attempt to replace mine later today and this video made me feel much better about it
your welcome, you will have no problem doing it yourself. thanks for the comment 👍
@@603Mechanicvids was able to change out the spark plugs and coil packs quickly and easily. Fixed my issue! Saved so much money doing it myself vs what the dealership wanted to charge for it. Very grateful for this video!
A well recorded comprehensive video,Thank you
The one thing one for got to mention that when you get your spark plugs before inserting them you have to size them for the right size some of us that are not really mechanically inclined wouldn't know to do this..
A lot of plugs come pre gapped and will get damaged if you try to gap them.
Good video. The only thing I would do differently is to change 1 plug at a time, to lessen the chance of anything falling in to the plug hole.
Just take out 1 and finish it with a new one before taking the next coil pack out. Keeps things clean, organized and uncluttered. Always make sure your plugs are gapped according to Jeep specs.
3:15 Do NOT just pull on the connector it will break the locking nub off the coil pack. Pull back red locking tab and pinch down while pulling
I don’t need no man thanks to you !!
😀 glad I could help. I have many more videos for the jeep on my channel
Antiseeze on the plugs are always good idea with aluminum heads
I'm having a rough idle issue in my daughters 2016 Renegade with the 2.4. For $80 I'm going to change the plugs and coil packs and see what happens.
Man. Great video. Well detailed. Thank you.
Thanks!
i just realized you gave me a super thanks! Thank you so much i really appreciate your support
Выкладывай видео про джып ренегад побольше. Особенно про замену масла в коробке передач и антифриза.Успехов тебе ты крут!!!
Thank you so much for making it so easy.
glad I could help
Saved my day bro!! Thank you for this video! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Your welcome im glad it helped, thank you for this comment i love to know im helping others out it makes all these videos worth doing👍👍👍
Great video!
How often should youk-up on 2017 renegade. My vehicle engine light comes on when im driving over 50 mph and the dealership said that there's nothing wrong. Do you think I need a tune up?
Was this at 100k miles ?
Care to do a video on replacing the ignition coil retaining clip? One of mine was brittle and broke off. The female end is stuck inside the wire harness
Everything Good, Except dont pull on Red coil Clip like he did.
First move red clip back. Then Press down on red Clip and remove.
اهلا❤
لقد قمت بتبديل شمعات الاحتراق ولكني قد خلطت بالكويلات هل يؤثر ذالك اذا ركبت احد مكان الاخر؟ وهل استطيع ان اعرف الأرقام بالتسلسل الصحيح
Great video !
My jeep renegade 2017 jerking during acceleration between 35km/h-40km/h. There is no errors, service checked 3 times, can't find issues. Is that can fix car jerking issues?
Same thing at 30 I misfire so I'm about to Change them no check light or any other issues
What is the gap number? I hear different ones around the internet
.047 is the gap for the 2.4 multiair.
having trouble getting the boot out ?
Do you have one changing the O2 sensors? I like your video because you make it simple and easy to understand.
thank you I appreciate that, I haven't made a video for the O2 sensors yet ill have to do that soon
Muy buen video compa
bonjour a vous j'ai une Renegade 1,3 150ch de 2021 le procédé est le même ? merci pour la vidéo
Any idea if this will be the same process for the '15 renegade lattitude 1.4L turbo? Thanks in advance. Video was extremely helpful and informative by the way; all questions (set aside from the 1.4l comparability) which arose while watching were ultimately answered
Its not the exact same process but very similar. Hope to make some videos on the 1.4l turbo once I get mybhands on one.
@@603Mechanicvids awesome thank you.
How do I know if those plugs are pre gapped?
Thanks I have a 2017 and I'm misfiring.
2022 bro lit 🔥 💯
Over the last month, my gas mileage dropped from 25 mpg to 18 mpg. Is this a plug problem?
it very well could be your spark plugs, air filter, possibly bad O2 sensors. id recommend a good tune up that should fix the issue
@@603Mechanicvids Thank you for your response. I'll replace the plugs and air filter myself (referring to your excellent video) and re-assess. Much appreciated!
How often should youk-up on 2017 renegade. My vehicle engine light comes on when im driving over 50 mph and the dealership said that there's nothing wrong. Do you think I need a tune up? @603Mechanicvids
How often should the plugs be replaced
anywhere from 70k - 90k. it also varies on which type of plug you use
Sorry for the dumb question but did you disconnect the battery or just didn't show that part for obvious reasons?
I didn't disconnect the battery
@@603Mechanicvids thanks for your vids my man, I just bought a 18 Latitude
no problem im glad I can help out
By any chance you know which cylinder is which? Like does it go 1,2,3,4 or 4,3,2,1 or
1,2,3,4
Bought a 5/8 spark plug socket but it seems like it is trying to strip the spark plug. Everywhere I read says it should be a 5/8, is mine suppose to be a size down? 2018 jeep renegade latitude.
Found out it was just the socket I was using, the magnet was not allowing the socket to sit all the down around the plug. Replaced socket with a rubber filled one and had no issues. Thanks for the video!
Eedsparkplug Gap
What gap my friend?
0.047 inch gap this is only for the 2.4L
Got a 2.4 2018 renegade and my my coolant drops from max To min within days or seems to be sucked into the hoses. Not sure if that’s how it works or I might have a leak but nothings leaking on my garage parking. And I don’t see any leaks on my coolant hoses, nor into the engine/engine oil. Also the car doesn’t show its low it shows that it’s just fine rolling at “min”
sorry for the late reply. definitely not normal to lose coolant like that, did you make sure it was up to temp while checking for leaks? you may have an internal issue happening i hope not for your sake
Did you figure it out ?
Yeah it was a small drip by drip leak towards the lower radiator hose but nothing crazy. Just a hose replacement. Guess the clamp was on to tight.
hopefully this will fix that slight hiccup on acceleration over 3k rpm
It could be the problem for sure, hope it fixes the issue for you
Got all my plugs in and k and n air filter thankfully i didn't have a plug shoot through my hood and startup now seems to Rev much higher now like its excited. I also made an odd discovery the factory calls for a 0.47 gap I did a 0.43 on my ngk IXs and when I measured the the champions that came out of the car they were also a 0.43 hmmmm and they've been in there for 42k miles. What's your take on this? Also if one of plugs wasn't exactly 0.43 but a little off would this hurt anything ?
I'm sure the engine was very happy with the new parts I would always recommend making sure the gap is what the manufacturer recommends, not really sure why the old plugs were .043 instead of the .047 have the plugs been changed before you did it?
@@603Mechanicvids nope I think not. As they were the champions rated for 75000 miles or so but I like precautionary service. Idk why NGK recommended 0.43 but apparently mopar agreed but tells everyone 0.47 I don't get it
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Which is 1,2,3, and 4?
looking at the engine from left to right its cylinders 1,2,3,4
Bro…you gotta slide the red lock back and then press down on the red tab to release it from the coil. 😂😂😂😂
How much did you gap those plugs?
.047"
We're is number 3 plug
looking at the engine the side with the pulleys and belts is the actual front of the engine, so the plug order is 1, 2, 3, 4 from front to back
IENJOYED YOUR TH-cam VIDEO, HAVE ONE COMMENT, WHY DIDN'T YOU USE THE TORQUE SPECS FOR NEW PLUGS, THIS IS A HACK MOVE AT BEST SINCE TORQUE SPECS ARE READILY AVAILABLE.
Do I have to change at 30k? I'm at 27k
According to jeep they say change at 100k then every 50k after that. I always replace everything early for my peace of mind. My renegade just hit 50k not to long ago. It does always depend on how the owner drives the vehicle as well. Hope this helps you out
Torque ??
20 ft/ibs
On Amazon 65 $ !!
I wish I could reply in video. I’ve watched this video a few times and now I’m confident I could do it myself. Thanks for the video!!🫶🏽
How can you tell what cylinder it is? A code came up and said my issue is a failing engine coil and sparkplug.
I'm planning on doing the repair on my own. But the failing part(s) is on cylinder 3.
so the front of your engine is the side where all your pulleys and belts are. so the cylinder closest to the front is #1 then in order #2, #3, #4
@@603Mechanicvids Great, thanks
Same exact code just happened to my car and I'm only at 56k miles. #3 coil too
@artemismae356 I found out that the front of the engine is where all the belts and pulleys are. From the front, it counts in order, 1, 2, 3 , 4, and so on. When you're standing at the front of your car, the engine, at least in my car, is sideways, and the front of the engine faces the right of the car. Once you identify the front, you should be good. If your issue is at cylinder 3, from the front of the engine, just count 3 back.
@artemismae356 it's an easy fix. I recommend replacing all of the coils and sparkplugs in the engine. When I replaced mine at cylinder 3, the problem lessened but was still a little jerky. So, I replaced them all and now it runs smoothly.
Should i even bother gapping it to .047 as .045 is basically close enough
I recommend gapping to the exact spec that the manufacturer recommends
Watches multiple videos on this. Some super short, but yours was the best. Thorough. Im not ever ditching this jeep. It has the forever warranty that jeep no longer offers. This maintenance I can do myself. You gave me confidence, tools to use, grease. So many videos, no prevention like the grease.
