    If you have a Lacrosse Leather, the Air box clips will be slightly different than this, there will be two on the left side, just take a flat head screwdriver and pry them open. Also, some of the electrical clips won't be exactly the same or in the same spot. I did NOT remove the air filter box, I just covered the filter as it was not necessary to remove. Also I did not fully remove the Intake Manifold, I removed the bolts then I was able to loosen it enough to move it out of the way and get the job done. Hope this helps!

    Absolutely the Best how to video i have seen! You provided a remarkable, detailed explanation and can not thank you enough for your efforts. Am still not sure i will attempt since my mechanical skills are marginal at best. Trying to convince myself to give it a shot🤙

    Excellent, detailed video! Thank you so much for your time to create it. 1st instinct, "dang! remove the intake?" Easy peasy. Even swapped out an impossible to reach O2 sensor to rid myself of the pesky "check engine" light. Thanks! Top shelf!!

    That was very well explained. Thank you so much. It's been years since I worked on a car that was a little more than points and condensers 😆

    Great, great how-to video. I was expecting the intake gasket on my lacrosse to be bad, which they were, so I changed them as well.

  • @bumpa33

    I was able to change the plugs ONLY because of your great detailed video!!!. Incredible and saved me $500. Even your detail son how to unclip various clip types was a life saver. Thanks a million. When doing the job I noticed top of intake valves were covered in junk ....so it lead me to spray full can of sea foam in throttle....Is this what you would recommend? also I still have a slight hesitation at idle and acceleration between gears...(cleaned Mass Air Sensor, new plugs, new air filter, cleaned throttle body,)...what is next to do?

    Maybe ours is different, but we have a 2015 Buick Lacrosse hybrid and I just had to remove the oil cap, remove 1 t25 screw, take the cover off and proceed to unplug and undo 1 bolt holding each coil.. took about 30 minutes to do all 4 spark plugs, torqued to 20lbs and anti seize on the threading

    I might have missed it or I’m just not understanding something but the spark plugs are visibly accessible without taking everything off. So is there a special reason for disconnecting everything?

  • @ChiNguyen-wf1qt
    @ChiNguyen-wf1qt 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Look complicated but all you need is to move intake manifold back to have room to remove the plug. Manifold doesnt need to remove completely like it shown here on this video

    Do you have to disconnect everything in order to get to the spark plugs?

  • @benitoresendez7286
    @benitoresendez7286 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Excellent video but misleading. You never mention the intake gasket. You use the same edited video for the gasket swap which there is no problem. You could at least mention to watch another video for the gasket. On this video you can barely see you replaced the gasket. MISLEADING.

  • @davidjsouth231
    @davidjsouth231 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Total time 2 hours but I snapped a bolt on the throttle body. I’ll have to try and find a replacement.
    I changed the purge valve because it was throwing codes for that.
    2011 Buick Lacrosse CXL, 150k miles. I was getting multiple codes for misfires and purge valve related issues. So we’ll see if this solves the problem

    I bought ac delco spark plugs do i have to use a spacer to gap them or are they already plug and play? I dont know im asking...

  • @ebenezergrant5539
    @ebenezergrant5539 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video but Don't forget to replace the intake gasket if you don't wanna do the job twice

  • @sergiozamorano6413
    @sergiozamorano6413 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm lucky I didn't buy this car. You have to take apart almost half of the motor to replace the spark plugs. Thats insane 😳

  • @ronscopes
    @ronscopes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why did you put all new coils and new coil bolts too ? Looks like some coils were already non-OEM ? And why the new throttle body ?

    How often to change trans fluid on 2011 Buick lacrosse

  • @davidjsouth231
    @davidjsouth231 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Similar to an 09 Acadia I did for my daughter. Takes about 2-3 hours.
    Manifold covers are a pain. Fords are easier

      Yes you can reuse it along as the rubber aint cracked or ripped.
