You are right, this car had bad fuel injector problems and intake gasket leaking, resulted bad fuel burning, so after I fixed these , I had to clean the spark plugs to test the car to know if the problem fixed
So what did he use ? What’s the point for posting this if he doesn’t say what he used to clean the dam spark plugs. This annoys the living $hit out of me. Worthless and a waste of my time!
old mechanic here try coating plugs in baking soda then cover with white vinegar watch the nasty boil off works good after that shot of brake cleaner reuse till ya get new plugs or till they foul out again hopefully helps someone works good on anything
99% of modern vehicles, you get new plugs.(The best) You don't want to change them anymore than necessary. Trust me. The Chevrolet 250, is long gone & so is an easy plug job.
@@joshmanis9860 yeah. I’ve had some customers that paid me to do this. It is what it is. Especially if they are iridium/platinum and electrodes look good.
That plug tester is a joke - spark plugs have to function Under Pressure considerably HIGHER than atmospheric, nearly any plug (good Or bad) will fire at atmospheric pressure. NEXT
Yeah no shit but do you know how an electrician can tell you that the spark off that spark plug is good? They call us sparkles for a reason after all. Let me share some knowledge you could have chosen to share but didn't. Or maybe you don't know so you might learn how that the tester isn't a joke. Under normal atmospheric conditions the spark coming off of the spark plug on the tester should be blue or white if it's a good plug. Arcs of that color indicates a high voltage capable of igniting fuel under pressure. If it is yellow or red the spark plug is burnt out. The metal is too weak to create a strong enough arc to ignite fuel under pressure. So the tester helps if you know how to use it and interpret it no need to be a dick and hate on a useful tool.
You must not understand combustion engines. It's not the spark plugs that need pressure, none what so ever. Pressure is needed to create higher pressure from spark igniting the gas, to create combustion in essence, turn the engine. I guess you could say, Combustion Engines 101 😅
@@firebirdone03 The spark plug "metal" doesn't create the spark. The ignition coil does. And color of the spark in open air is meaningless. Finally, what are you trying to say by, "the spark plug is burnt out"? Sounds like you are just making stuff up.
You can use coca cola with cooking salt or vinigar or brake cleaner or diesel The most important is to dry it well before putting it back into the engine
Did you do anything off camera between taking them out and drying them/putting them in? Do you still have these around? There’s one important step that ppl forget to do. Are these rustier than ever rn!
I use purple power degreaser or gasoline which is quicker to clean really bad dirty engine, transmissions or differential parts, specially gasoline when oil and dirt are extremely tough to come off. Thanks for the video.
I wonder what type of cleaner was used to clean the spark plugs? Great little video, the way the economy is today I can see methods like these becoming more common.
That was my thought too, acid, when I saw the bubbles, but there are a small few chemicals that can have the same, or almost same reaction, hench my question. I also notice the liquid poured like it had oil base too it. Acid itself pours like water.
how to strip all the zinc off your spark plug and to promote rust seizure in 1 quick youtube clip. gotta love how many self proclaimed mechanics there are in the world now.
Can one soak spark plugs inside bleach like jik or can one soak them inside fuel for like an hour...then use toothbrush to flush put the debris.ive bought almost 1t spark plugs and they keep dying due to debris.seems my injectors are dirty.serviced them about 3months ago
The cleaning liguid is called LA Awesome. You'll mostly find it in the Dollar Generals, Family Dollars Tree stores. Works GREAT on EVERYTHING. especially anything greasy or oily. Brake dust on wheels, most spots on car upholstery, plastics, rings around the tub and toilets. Freakin everything! Spray on wait 10-15 seconds, then wipe off. Better than Purple Power by far. I've been using this stuff for about 10 yrs now. Best degreaser for only $1-$1.25 or $3 for the refill jug. Best bang for a buck...literally
The Awesome liquid is in a clear bottle and is yellow. This is a clear liquid in a white bottle. so probably bot the same stuff.. but Awesome is a good cleaner for most things
Raczej nie kwas, HCL jest mocnym kwasem i nawet rozcieńczony zmatowił by metal dużo bardziej. Stawiam że to coś alkalicznego. Kwas by tak nie ruszył osadu. Ja próbowałem wypalać palnikiem na propan butan. Efekt był. Dawno temu świece piaskowano(!) Zmieniało to wartość cieplną i groziło uwalnianiem ziarenek piasku do cylinda. Może to coś do czyszczenia grilla? Ja.bym wypalił aż przestanie dymić po odsunięciu płomienia i wsadził do octu jednak, potem wymoczył w czystej wodzie i jeszcze raz wypalił ale delikatniej. Ogrzał pinad 100°C i zostawił do ostygnięcia.
What is the point here? Those plugs are of a very basic type, just look at the center electrode - no iridium nor plasma here. And the center electrode has already lost sharp edge; plug is ready to be replaced. Fuel is expensive, plugs are cheap! Verdict: pointless video. Either get new basic plugs, like those in video, very cheap or spend more and get iridium tipped plugs - the latter would last typically 100 000 km or more.
Again, what if the plugs needing to be cleaned , is a situation that arises from misfortunes such as stripped treads when a 02 sensor was being installed. Now car will not go at all because of random misfires in plugs. Ah ha. Cleaning plugs situation created!!!! See, not every situation is the same!!
the best to change after 30000 or 35000km the best but if the spark plug become dirty before this distance there is problem at engine maby oil coming on spark plug or the burning not enough inside the roomburner this way good for short time even change spark plug

I recently bought a small Prius C with only 19K miles. I've put 1K miles, and am thinking of cleaning MAF sensor and maybe the spark plugs. It should still have original Denso Iridiums(good for 100K)... worth "cleaning"?

it's easier just to replace the sparkplugs, and saves time. This is just for if you're really trying to pinch pennies.

Pretty sure not hydrogen peroxide too, as it has oil like thickness too it, which hydrogen peroxide is like water.
What did you just use to clean the spark plugs?
Musta been 100 proof vodca he used. We'll never know.
No before sparks? No mention of product. 😢
Do you reckon acetone would work as well?
Can we wash with petrol? Any effect on spark plug?.
You can clean it and use it again like new??
How much time? For both dip and dry?
Won't there be an air bubble in the insulator part if you put them in the liquid that way? It won't reach that part.
Thank U 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
