How to change spark plugs on a Honda odyssey

- You only need a few tools to change the spark plugs or coil‘s on a Honda Odyssey. You will need a flat head screwdriver, 10 mm socket, 5/8 spark plug socket, 3/8 ratchet, and 2, 3 inch extensions. The engine is symmetrical, so the procedure is the exact same on both sides. The hardest part is finding the right angle to pull the coils in and out. You’ll have to do some maneuvering around the hoses at the back of the engine.
I appreciate you listing the required tools at the beginning, as well as showing the process. This allowed me to repair the #2 cylinder (firewall-facing, center) misfire condition, that showed up suddenly on our road-trip, in the shade in front of an AutoZone (thanks to them diagnosing the issue as well as allowing me to borrow their tools) and complete the 750-mile journey home! Since this happened on New Year’s Day 2022 with everything closed, being able to fix it myself using your instructions saved me a ton of money. 👍
Glad it helped. Your story alone was worth making the video! Thanks for the comment.
The video would be a half day long!
3:10 this is why you never put your tools on top of the engine.
Lmao
Looked like he wasn't too concerned, but man that hurt my soul lol
Lmao the way he continues on like nothin ever happened 😂😂
Guess it'll just live down there forever.
So that's where all my 10mm's went...😦
Tip for the back, when removing the clip press the connector down and into the coil connection and you will hear the click and the connector comes loose a lot easier.
Thanks for posting - was a big help. I was able to remove a couple ignition coils without disconnecting harness and that save a little time and hassle as well.
Glad it helped
Was a great help, the one at the back near the compressor was difficult to change out. But got it done.
RIP to the fallen tools 🫡
It's funny how you don't show how to change the back ones which are the hardest. Anybody can change the front ones
Exactly what i literally said above lol
You literally can't see so why show a video of the ones in the back lol it's the same as the front
@@Kushmaster24 shit I couldn’t find them hoes straight up 😂. I got them done but still have a misfire. Gonna redo the plug and throw an ignition coil at it. If you are from the future and seeing this it’s back further than you think and the middle one is a MF.
So funny bruh 😂,they know what they're doing for real for real.
If "I can tell you better that I can show you" was a person.
I believe that you lose part of your tools. I saw it rolling away from you on the video. Watch out, my friend!
at 3:11
I saw that too and wanted to cry.😂
I know the feeling
She gone!
I hate it when that happens! The tools roll off into never land.
That plastic guard comes off rather easy in the front. Might help you reach stuff.
What about the 3 plugs in the rear of the engine?? The front ones are the easy ones
The same applies. The two extensions work well on both sides.
They never show you have to reach back to where they are.
You should show what a nightmare getting that middle coil out of the back is.
Tell me about it, just did replaced the Ignition Coil for a P0302 at direction from AZ and it's still throwing the code, so now I have to do it again with the spark plugs. I miss how easy it was to do this on my 88 Corolla
Do you recommend using the gap measure to confirm the necessary spark gap before installing?
I always just go with how they are set out of the box.
Honda states that NGK Iridium DILZKR7A110 should not be gapped or cleaned. New gap should be 1.0-1.1mm
I always check my gaps...😏
Seriously tho, I had 1 that was wrong so good thing I checked it.👍
Always put a small dab of 'never-seaze' on the spark plug threads, more important on alumimun head engines, if you have compress air avalable, blow out around the base or the spark plug before removing it.
From the NGK (OEM spark plug manufacturer) website: "NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize.
Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch. Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat rating of the spark plug and can result in serious engine damage caused by pre-ignition. Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental."
@@nw1302 wow. Didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing as I use oem ngk plus.
Is there a hotter plug i can use other than factory... seems i am oil fouling#2
How do you remove those rear doubled black clip-ons that are in the way of hand positioning?
You neglect to mention the the rear plugs are impossible to see and quite awkward to reach
Borrowed my wife's pocket mirror, held the flashlight in my teeth, and managed it after some fumbling (and dropping a pair of pliers into the tray at the bottom)
@@jamesreader5955 thanks and dang!
👍👍👍Thank you.
What type of spark plug did you use? IRIDIUM?
What year is this Odyssey? There arent many about my 2018 Odyssey and im curious why, and what pitfalls I might find in comparison.
You should put new ones in, taking plugs out and putting them back in does very little.
i lost my 10mm just as soon as i clicked on the video....:(
Is there a tightness that we should follow?
I do between 1/4 to 3/4 turn after it bottoms out. If you over tighten them you could break the spark plug off into the cylinder head.
@@First_Class_Amateur Thanks a lot! I wanted to check if they're still good because my honda odyssey 2011 started shaking while I was driving. Wife said spark plugs were changed last year. However, I don't know how to check if sparkplugs are still in good condition or not.
@@neilfpv a Google search will show you pictures of what bad spark plugs look like. If one of your pistons is not firing your check engine light should be on. Even if you just remove all the spark plugs you can compare them to each other to see the difference in how they look. Make sure all the wires are well seated
@@First_Class_Amateur Earlier the check engine light was blinking. Now it's solid on.
Blinking MIL is misfire indication
how about the rear?
Guess the back was to hard for him to show
Can you tell which spark plugs to use for 2010 Honda Odyssey. There are plenty online but which specific one we should use?
NKG see owners manual.
NGK. I use NGK Iridium IX
Extension go bye bye
its so hard for me to remove the electrical connector😮💨
Pinch it closer to the wire
if you take a small flathead, and poke it near the top sides of the clip where there is some room to insert it, and pry at an angle to pop the bottom part of the clip off the clip, it then comes right off
I was told I got to change all spark plugs and I changed 1 4 5 6 and all my cylinder misfired
So I'm about to change 3 and 4😊
How did you remove the front 3rd coil? There is absolutely no clearance to remove it.
Try rotating the coil 90° so the flat portion on the top contacts in front of the vehicle. This should give you the little bit play you need.
@@First_Class_Amateur i have a 2004 its different, the boot only comes out 1/2 way and hits the body no room at all to twist or bend.
Remove the black shroud and come in from the front next to the hood release
When the socket just slid and fell..
IVE SPENT MORE TIME FISHING PLUG OUT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T STAY ATTACHED TO THE SOCKET WHEN PULLING OUT! AND USINGVA NEW SOCKET ! SO LIKE FISHING I GOT A WIRE WITH A ROUND LOOP ON END TO CATCH TOP PIN OF PLUG AND SLOWY PULL PLUG OUT ! ANYBODY KNOW BETTER WAY ? MAGNET ? HMMM ?! MAGIC ?
I would tape a magnet to the top of a 3 inch extension with electrical tape. Works great.

3:12 wrench fell buddy
this vidéo really turned me off
