6/17/24: thnk u much for putting this precise video and info out yeow. I had a P0302 code read, and change my #2 coil and plug myself. My fx35 2009 has the same looking engine, all is almost good now, the engine stops putting. But, now the car hesitate, a little bit, between changing gears when taking off. It has a very little hitch, if you give it gas a little when move off, like it did not get the gas good. There is no hitching at all when changing down to come to a stop. Only when moving off. And if I should rev the engine in park, it hit a blank spot, but still rev nicely, the car has 200thou, What do you think would be the cause here. I only change the one #2 coil and plug, do you think that I should change the others? Or could this be a tranny issue? I am not a mechanic, just a little handy. Thanks again. I hope you or any one else out there could reply with any info.
@@bajanrichmax6517 is it recommended to change spark plugs if the car is driving fine? I just bought it at 170k miles the car looked like it was sitting for a long time not abused but not tooken car of for the past maybe 10k miles
@@885.0ELopezit through a code at me put ngk spark plugs in replace a coil and was all good Have a small problem now but i dont think it was caused by that but my mpg dropped from 22 to 13
@@bajanrichmax6517 Nah it’s not that lol. BTW, how did you remove the hex screws on the throttle body? The video clips right to when they’re removed/ Doesn’t show the process. When i tried, it bent the hex key-not sure why it wasn’t budging. And I can’t find room to get a ratchet down in there. Any tips?
Great video. Just finished mines. Appreciate the chunes in the background 🙏🏿
Must have the chunes lol. Blessings

Did you replace just the spark plugs or the coil pack as well?
I just replaced the plugs but recently had to change a couple coil packs
Hi. Do you have a link to where i coild buy tje original spark plugs?
I just walked into the dealer parts dept. O'reilly's have the same plugs also for $1 or than the dealer
Thanks for this i have a m37x
Great happy you found this helpful
What socket did you use
Unfortunately he doesn’t give torque specs for spark plugs. Still, informative little vid.
I did 12 to 14 torque on them nothing crazy
@@bajanrichmax6517good call. I looked it up and found the FSM says 19.6 Nm or 14 ft-lbs torque.
Man, those hex screws broke my hex screwdriver. Any tips ??
Grip.the screw with a pliers and turn them slowly. They can be very tight
@@bajanrichmax6517 dont u have to do a throttle body system re learn ?
Spray them with WD and let it soak
@@bajanrichmax6517 dont u have to do a throttle body system re learn ?
No you don't ask along as u do not open up the throttle body flap by hand.
Should I disconnect the battery before doing this?
And where do i go for my spark plugs
You do not have too but would recommend if your first time. I bought mine from the dealership just a $1 more than auto parts store

Did you lubricate the new spark plugs? I did this today and now the RPMs fluctuate and it idles rough.
Sounds like the gapping is off a plug or 2. Did u drop the plugs in?
I did not lubricate the plugs
Yeah. I did drop them in.
That would is the issue. The tip got bend throwing off the gapping causing the rough idling.
Thanks. I’ll try that out then.
Let me know
How did you remove those clamps?
Which clamps are you referring to
@@bajanrichmax6517 i figured it out. I was asking about the clamps that need pliers to loosen up. They don’t come off they just loosen up
