- This was done on a Sedona (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010), but this applies to the Sorento, Amanti, Santa Fe, Sonata, Entourage, etc with the 3.3 or 3.8. How to remove upper intake manifold/plenum to access rear spark plugs.
Note: I also replaced the throttle body gasket, I just forgot to mention it in the video. Another thing, I did not torque the bolts with my impact tools. I just ran them down and tighten them the rest of the way with my ratchet.
Also, when installing your spark plugs, be careful not to drop them down into the holes. Guide them with your finger so it doesn't bend the electrode.

I like the way you just get it done. Sometimes you don't want to tackle a job because you want to know exactly where each bolt needs to goes. What you have to remember is you will figure it out eventually. We are human and that is what we do. Figure stuff out. This is a perfect example on how a confident brain works . This is how people should approach a job like this. Confidently. Goes a long way.
I was looking to change the plugs on my 2006 KIA Sedona.
I don't have the 4hrs and patience for the manifold work to do it myself. Will let my auto shop handle it
Glad to see a good overview of what I would have had to do.
This is one of the best videos I've seen even if it doesn't have music. Great work brother keep it up
Thank you!
I I have just finished changing my spark plugs on 2007 Kia grand carnival you video was excellent help made it easy to remove the intake manifold the 14 mil bolt behind the intake manifold was a bugger once it came lose it was easy from there on,
i was surprized to find the was no 12mil bolt and bracket to remove which made the job easy every thing went back together drives very well thank you
You can tell this guy is a professional mechanic. Very Efficient.
Thanks for posting this video. Just did this job today on the wife's 2008 Hyundai Entourage (98 degrees outside today). It helped me greatly. Many thanks!!
Hi, I am replacing my spark plugs for my 2008 entourage, was this video all you needed or did you consult any other sources? Just curious, how long did it take you?
Thumbs up!!! 2009 kia borrego similar but close enough this is great help. Thought I'd let you know Something I dealt with on mine was the Box stores said to keep The same gap as the plug was pre gapped .036 but I talk to NGK on the phone and they said to adjust .044 but be sure you only adjust the grounding electrode and don't damage the fine wire. Also he said due to the special coating on their plugs not to use anti-seize. When I come at might be helpful to Someone so you don't get poor fuel efficiency or fouling by just sticking with the pre gap
Thanks for the video. It was a lot of help after I replaced the spark plugs and couldn't figure out why I had extra pieces when it was all back together.
Thank you so much for this video. I recently had my spark plugs changed however my ignition coil went bad and I have to replace them. 👍👍
💯 Antiseize and die-electric grease on plugs. 👍🏻👍🏻
Will not harm anything. Will only help. Little dab will do ya good next time ya change plugs, and the threads will thank you. ❤
Hyundai engineers should hang their heads in shame based on this design. What a huge waste of time this creates. What should be a Simple 30 min job takes a few hours for the diy’r. Maybe that’s intentional....
I do appreciate your video, tho. I ended up doing this all twice in an afternoon...first time took about 2 hours, wasn’t running right (wouldn’t idle in gear, stalled several times on initial test drive). So I started over and rechecked the plugs and coils. Second time took about 30 minutes, and it appears it behooves you to spend a little extra time and make sure the coils are fully seated on the plugs. I’m pretty sure that was my problem as it is working perfect now. Thanks again for the video...cost me some time but no doubt it saved me a big chunk of $ compared to a garage.
Wow Hyundai makes it soooo simple🙄, nice video thanks 👍
I would have vacumed all those pine needles above the engine hanging around ready to drop into the engine and possibly the exposed spark plug and air duct holes before i would start any of this.
I saw in Russia ( some years ago !)a spark plug socket with magnetic wall. So You will not need to use another tool for grabbing the spark plug. I think in USA should be already available in the Auto Parts Store already...
I've seem them in the us plenty of times
excellent video. I'm about to to change the sparks plugs on my wife's van. Thank you for the info and the video
Did you use a 14 mm spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs? And did you use an impact drill?
he said 5/8ths. never use an impact wrench to get spark plugs in or out, please. you will have a bad time.
Thank you man for taking your time to make this video. I appreciate it.
George :)
Great job ! Just blew the head gasket so I need a video to replace it also
I would like to know what kind of drill are you using to take off the bolts and screws? Thanks in advance.
best videos - really like how you walked through everything and showed ea step
Thanks for the video, now I know I definitely don't want to do this myself hahaha
Thanks for the video. Similar (but not exactly the same) PITA procedure for the '06 Azera Lambda 3.8L v6.
Btw... that's NOT the intake manifold on top of the engine. Hyundai calls it the "surge tank"--the intake manifold is beneath the surge tank. Stupid Hyundai. Everyone calls these parts the "upper" and "lower" intake manifolds; Hyundai should just refer to them the same way.
Wow, lots of work yo change a few spark plugs.
good video. You keep it simple and informative. Many thanks. I did same thing on my 09 Sedona. I wonder how to replace the AF sensor bank 1 S1 since it is a tight space between firewall and B1 !
oh screw this and Toyota for requiring that intake to be removed to replace plugs. I am a mechanical engineer and this design is just wrong. At least it looks a bit more accessible than the toyota SUV back bolts that take hours to get to
You can`t blame the design on the mechanic man, he`s just trying to help us out.
Mechanically engineer a better design. Just sayin.
Peace brother :)
Stupid Hyundai--"the Visio of Cars"... A lot of work just to do routine maintenance on the rear cylinder bank! bleh... what a pain in the arse!
Same setup on Ford Escape 3.0 so it's not just Hyndai and Toyota.
It is designed to be labor intensive, because that's how they make money.
Do you know what the Torque specs are for the Valve cover bolts ??
Not at all similar to a 2008 Kia Sorento with the 3.8 L engine EX model, rear wheel two wheel drive. The engine is not mounted transversely.
only question I have is there a seal or gasket on the throttle body mounting area, and did you change it?
I'm pretty sure it had a rubber gasket on the intake side and no I did not replace it.
Do you know the torque specs on the manifold and the sequence?
Where does that hose from the intake manifold go
thanks for the video. but why do you put di-electric grease on the plug tip? That will *impede* the proper flow of electricity through the plug...
What is the gasket called
I'm about to tackle this job, what was the "real time" for this? I'm a decent shade tree mechanic. And do I need the intake plenum gaskets?
I can't remember exactly, but I think it was somewhere in the 4 hour range.
Replacing the plenum gaskets is not a must but they aren't that expensive so not a bad idea to go ahead and throw some new ones on while you're there.
MightyMechanic that's what I was thinking too on the gaskets. Time wise that's shorter than I was thinking. Thank you for the video and reply.
Thanks for the video, but I would be more impressed if you cleaned off the leaves and debris before working on the vehicle.
Stop complaining...did you make a video showing what we didn`t know?
Be thankful he made the fuckin thing and posted it.
I`m VERY thankful.
Clean your own leaves off.
At least he showed us how to do it, you ungrateful whiner bitch
ugh.. such language!
Lothian Mcadam Yes I get frustrated with people. I apologize.
would this also be for a 2007 Azera 3.8L
Great video
I have a 2007 Sorento, engine looks similar. Do you not have to change out the coils as well? I'm going to change my plugs soon, have about 106,000 on it now.
I don't see a need to replace the coils if they are not bad.
Ok, thanks for the reply.
Coils RARELY go bad. Coils generally are NOT replaced as part of routine maintenance (per Hyundai Service Manual).
However, if you get a "random misfire" DTC (along w/a cylinder-specific code), ONE POSSIBLE SOURCE for that code is one or more faulty coil(s). A technician can pretty quickly identify a wonky coil with a scope. The shade-tree mechanic can guesstimate a problematic coil a coil-swap procedure. There are plenty of good videos on TH-cam that detail this procedure.
With the amount of work needed to remove the intake, I would replace the coils and plugs. If your someone like me who plans to drive the car until the end a bad coil is certainly one of the things that will stop you.
What did you use to grab the tips of the spark plugs to pull them out, after loosening the plugs??
I used a grabber type tool that goes down and grabs it but you could use a magnet as well. They also make a special socket that grips it when taking it out.
I got a few sockets with rubber spark plug retention rings inside them in a large socket set years back that stops you from having to try and fish them out. It also makes the job or re-installing your plugs a little quicker and easier.
And therefore I changed the front 3 only ( so far). 😀
I was thinking of doing the same on my '07, but I would replace the coil packs too. Do the back three if I ever get a miss.
Video was informative but you kept referring to the coils as Coil packs, a coil pack serves multiple cylinders via spark plug wires. Coils, like these are individual & run each plug separately.
I have a question. I changed the spark plugs yesterday on a 07 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.3l. After i was done i turned the car on. Turned in fine no issue and stays on idle with no shaking, the problem is that it will not accelarte at all. When i step om the gas nothing happens. Can someone tell me what i did wrong??
Did you check to make sure you plugged the throttle body sensor back in?
It is important to tell people the torque spec and sequence on the plenum to your public viewers as they may not know or understand this requirement, lady Licenced mechanic CJ
any idea where the PCV valve is? Didn't happen to run across it did you?
I don't remember seeing it. Sorry about that.
believe it is back in the rear on the passenger side. similar to toyota 6cyl
Believe it is hidden under the throttle body.
great job thanks for the help
Looks easy
Good job Sir
Your right there, clean the intake valves at the same time and replace the pvc valve
Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
back ones are a nightmare!!
That's where I am completely stuck! :( any tips or good tools to use? Mine aren't working and my electric one just smoked!
@@MarilynLove-qd9tnnever need them just saying that from watching video..
That debris can fall into engine. IS
If someone is watching this video to learn how to replace spark plugs what makes you think they know how to remove the manifold.??
I have never removed a manifold before this weekend. Watched a video before attempting to replace a manifold in a Mercedes R350. Worked like a charm. If you are mechanically inclined, you can do it. I am now watching this so I can change the plugs on our Veracruz. It will save me over $500
People aren't watching this video video to learn how to replace spark plugs, they are watching to find out how to access the spark plugs on this Hyundai engine.
That's looks painful!
Thats way too much work to replace the fucking spark plugs, wtf hyundai
does anybody know if this is the same as a 2012 hundai equus 5.L V8
Allan Arango these are for V6 engines only
2010 Hyundai azera is not the same
THIS IS WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH
No anti seize wrong thing to do
Member when car manufacturers used to make commonly replaced parts easy to get at? I member.
