4 years later, this video is still helping people. Thank you for your time, your experience and money you put into your tools. It has helped so many save money at the shop.
I did the first spark plug change on a 2003 Civic EX, I do not know the history of the car. Millage is 116,00 miles. I found this very helpful, I purchased same parts shown in this video. I purchased a magnetic 5/8 socket and it did make the job easier.. Car runs fantastic now, smooth and quiet. Thanks Big Dog Auto.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Yes, this guy is using the correct parts for this car. Good quality
I'm the first one to say let me bring my car to the shop but after watching this video, I feel beyond confident to try this myself and do an amazing job! Thank you for the very informative and great video! WE ALL APPRECIATE THIS.
I appreciate the comment, thanks!

What is the number on the ignition coils? I have this same car..Thanks.
Thanks for the video big dog. Just used your video to do the plugs and ignition coils on my 08 Civic. Worked like a charm. Can’t believe you have as little followers as you do. Your videos are very thorough and well throughout with great explanation of every detail. Keep up the great work and thanks!
Sweet, glad you got it done!. There is a lot of competition on TH-cam so it can be tough getting noticed. Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it!
another good one. everyone of your videos are informative no matter how simple or complex. some good info in them all. Thanks 👍
Thank you, I really appreciate all of your comments!
Good video. I'm the same way about putting a little antisieze on the plugs. Done to many where they don't use any, and when trying to remove them you pray that the threads don't come out with the plug. Also do the same with install, I prefer feel over torque, especially on aluminum heads.
Longtrailside Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for including your part numbers! Doing this job today :)
👍
Awesome video i will change my own tomorrow hopefully the car will turn over
Thank you so much for your thorough and detailed video!
Learned a few things today. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot.. Your video is very clear and understandable.
Thank you for the comment!
Great video, I have 2002 Acura el and noticed few days ago some jerking while driving and red engine signal showed few seconds. Is that faulty plugs. thanks
Well explanation
Thanks 👍!
I thought itd be way harder. Definitely buying the socket and doing it myself😂
👍
Simply love it . In detail and very inspiring . Have belated Happy new Year. God Bless
Thanks 👍, you too!

Yeah why didn't you use that fancy-smansy Snap-On torque wrench???????? HAHA! rhetorical question. I already read your response. great video as always!
The Disgruntled Mechanic lol, I did it for all the folks who don’t have a $500 fancy shmancy torque wrench!
Where did you purchase spark plug socket
Hey I have a problem on my Honda Civic LX 2005 the 4 spark plugs I can get out what I need to take out
Great video ! Quick question , would ngk ignition coils be fine instead of denso?
NGK makes good stuff.
thank you
👍
Precision!
Yes it helped. Thanks
180 degree turn after finger tight seems scary to me. I recently did my Mazda 3 with NGK's and it felt really snug after a little over a 1/4 turn so I left it. Maybe Honda's are different.
You have to look at how the plugs are designed, in this case this is exactly how NGK says to install this type of plug right on the packaging (the washer/gasket is designed to crush down right about 180 degrees or slightly more on new plugs). If reinstalling plugs you would not turn them that much because the gasket is already crushed down. Obviously other plug designs can be different.
do you have to use a torque wrench or can you use a ratchet?
Great video I have a 2005 Honda civic it sputters would this help my problem
It certainly won't hurt, but unless some of the coils are not working properly or the plugs are in really bad shape it probably will not fix your issue.
if you use anti seize with a torque wrench lower the torque ft/lb by 20% or you will over tighten it!!!
Yes, anything that lubricates the threads can effect torque. Just remember, Honda service info states states to use anti seize and then says to torque it down, so I believe they have accounted for the anti seize in their service info. That being said I still like to do it by feel on these. Thanks for the input.
Just watched your coil/plug video. Are there any other high quality manufacturers you’d recommend that perform better then Denso/NGK?
That's all I use on Hondas.
Is this the same process for a 2012 Honda Accord 4 cylinder?
Not exact, but very similar on 2.4L 4 cylinder Accords.
Big Dog50001 Automotive new idea for a new video
Heh boss what's the spark plug socket that you used in this video k have 2003 honda civic lx 1.7litre im trying to change my spark plugs but don't have that socket
This is what I use: amzn.to/3DSXZgc
My 03 civic ex has 132,000 miles. Do the original coils typically go out before 200,000 miles? And if my coils are bad will they show up as a misfire reading when hooked up to a code reader/scanner? Two honda dealership mechanics are telling me different things.
Generally no, Honda coils do not typically fail at 130,000 miles (although it is not unheard of especially due to the age of the vehicle). If it is misfiring, sometimes it will set a check engine light but not always depending on how serious the misfire is. To see real time misfire data you usually need a more expensive scan tool. I just did a P0303 video, and although it is for a V6, it shows some things I think about when diagnosing these things. th-cam.com/video/JHEJZ_Hvsx0/w-d-xo.html
Great video. I have civic hybrid. With 220k miles on it. Do u recommend putting in new coil packs?
Not completely necessary but not a bad idea it if it over 15 years old or so. I would not install anything but Denso or OEM Honda if they are going to be replaced though. The original old OEM Hondas are much better than new cheap aftermarket ones.
@@BigDog50001 cool man.. my honda civic hybrid is 2006 so math shows it is near 14 years old... i went and ordered some coils and put them in recently and the car is running very smooth now.. thanks for having a good channel and responding back. ! have a good one and safe too
I have a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid 5 spd. The engine suddenly quit. The shop working on the car says only one cylinder is firing. He doubts all 8 spark plugs (2 sparkplugs per cylinder) and coils could fail at once and out of the blue. He thinks it's an electrical issue, or a fuel supply issue. Any ideas?
Did you ever find out the issue? electrical related or was it mechanical like out of time or something?
thanks for this video
i have a question
in my honda civic 2004 engine D15Y3 1500CC THE recommended spark plugs for this car is BKR5ES.11 NGK
NO problem if i use another one like NGK BKR6ES.11
thanks in advance
I would use the NGK spark plugs that Honda recommends for the vehicle. It is usually listed under the hood on a sticker.
@@BigDog50001
thank you for all
I have 06 honda Accord 4 Cylinder, how often should i replace spark plugs and coils?
The spark plugs on those generations are supposed to be replaced every 110,000 miles according to Honda service info. I like to do them right at about 100,000. The coils do not have a recommended replacement interval, but I generally recommend replacing them if the vehicle is 15 years or older or has over 200,000 miles on the original coils.
@@BigDog50001 thank you
Anyone know if these coil packs last a long time?
I'm thinking about replacing my original ones on my 03 civic but autozone wants $150 and amazon sells some brand for like $45 a little too cheap for my piece of mind.
They are pretty reliable, I would not put cheap ones in if the original ones are still working good. OEM or Denso is pretty much the only ones I use on Hondas.
@@BigDog50001 will do thanks 👍
That bowl at 2:17 where you put the bolts, can you give me the link of where you bought them from? Amazon?
Dani The man hey dont know where your from but you can get one for cheap at habor freight for 4 bucks or pretty much any auto store but, if you want a bigger one then that maybe like 10bucks hope that helps
Here is one from Harbor Freight that works well. bit.ly/2ILH5Ip
Don't most Honda's call for iridium plugs?
Many newer Hondas use Iridium but many older Hondas do not. Iridium plugs can be used as a replacement for many applications but the original plugs that Honda used vary. NGK platinum is the original OEM plug for the Civic in this video. I generally stick with the plug that the manufacturer recommends (and designed the car for).
Show the old plugs! C'mon man!
: )
