the engineers that designed an engine that requires removing the intake manifold to change spark plugs are $%$%$#
It don't require removing the intake. Thats a way for the dealer to charge you over three hours for a 20 minute job.
Great video. Single mom who likes working on my own car but the diagram of this vehicle was definitely a challenge unlike my older Chevy truck. Thanks!
Wow. Remember the days when you could pop the hood and see the spark plug coils? Or at the most, just remove a plastic cover to get to them?

Thanks for the video. I watched several times before I did mine. It was much easier than expected. I cleaned out the throttle body while it was apart.
This is a great video, but a couple of things to consider: if your Acadia has a lot of miles, those spark will be dicey to get out. They’re gonna be incredibly stuck and leverage is tough down inside those holes. I shattered the porcelain on one plug and spent hours trying to retrieve the pieces out with the plug screwed in so that nothing would drop into the engine. Also, hoses and those wire connectors will be very stuck as well as well so use caution trying to free all the parts up. The manifold was also extremely stuck to the engine and required all the strength i had to yank it off.
Well done! I like to see another mechanic work like I did/do.
It's hard to be retired because cars keep showing up. Again, I appreciate your continued mention of important bullet points! Keep it up!
Good video, thanks!
2016 Acadia 125,000 miles first spark plug change. No misfires, but the plugs were almost 50 thousandths gap. All bolts, plugs, coils came out easy. Some plastic parts were brittle. CCV tube snapped. 3/8 fuel line fits snugly over snapped off plastic tube. Panduit ty wrap posts fit nicely in place of any snapped factory harness mounts.
One comment on the gasket. Felpro is just like the original which is not designed to adhere to the upper manifold, you would have to hold it in place under the upper manifold as you install it. There are two lower alignment posts on the gasket that center it on the lower manifold. Then carefully replace the upper manifold. There is enough room to see the gasket as you align the upper manifold with the 2 large upper alignment posts on the gasket. Yes, a little more work than an old school plug change, but this is still an easy job.
No need to remove the intake manifold. I replaced all six plug with out removing it, saved a ton of time, only took about 8 minutes per plug
Awesome video and great audio on how to teach
Was scared I didn’t line the casket up right 😂 but thanks for this video ‼️ saved me $300
Love the tutorial video! I just changed my 2014 Enclave and was able to change all 6 with the intake on. There was plenty of room to get my big arms to the back three. This was actually easier than my 2006 Escalade ESV.
Thank you for your post. I have 2014 Buick Enclave too. I will replace the plug today and I don't know if I have to remove the intake, even I could see very clear the 3 plug in the back with intake on. Now I could replace today and don't have to remove intake.
Thank you for teaching us how to do this job.
The video is of excellent quality. Easy to follow instructions.
Ah, the fun of transverse V6's.
Thanks for the vedio ,im no mechanic it made changing the spare plugs so simple really appreciate it thanks again
Great explanation !!!
Very professional & detailed 💚
+Thomas F. Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
The amount of steps jus for a sparkplug change. I hate my Acadia with a passion! haha
Do not need to remove the intake if it is the small black intake like this one. if yours has the larger silver style intake, it DOES need to be removed to do this.
Nice work. Great camera work also.
How about anti-seize on plugs and cleaning the mass air flow sensor?
There is no need to apply anti-seize to plugs that have chrome threads.
Do you have the torque specs for upper and lower intake bolts and throttlebody bolts? Im gonna replace all gaskets when i do the spark plugs. Thank you
Thank you for this!
You definitely DO NOT need to remove the air intake. Why make this job harder than it has to be?
Nice video. I went to your web site for the first time - because of your excellent video. Check, but you don't sell this Intake Manifold Gasket at all. LOL Guess I'll go back to Rockauto
Very helpful video!
If your confortable to do this job after watching the video, you can do it easily without removing the intake. If your short like me just let the air out of the tires to get at the rear plugs. Easy peasy.
Thank you for the video. You the man!
Do we need to disconnect the battery ?
Hello, good afternoon, I have ACADIA GMC 2008 Reemplace oil pump due to low oil pressure failure, clean strain I changed the oil pressure sensor and it continues to indicate a low oil pressure fault. The oil I put in is synthetic 5/30 and the failure continues I need advice I live in Mexico please greetings
What are all the tools you need?
Thanks!
Great job
What is the best cleaner for intake?
Does a 2010 have a map sensor i cant find one
Im done worh gm. Also going to get a low mile pre 2004 vehicle. These new ones are garbage.
At 1:39 what is that part called? Mine broke while removing...
rear air conditioning blows warm air how can I fix this.
That throttle body is killing me
Minute 1.36 is that the pcv valve???
Why not replace coils while you’re there? Seems like decent preventative maintenance & a great time for that, LoL
+Honkey Kong Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
I did the job without removing the intake. Shade tree style
ok I thought this was a great vid but I ran into a problem the car was running ruff like if plugs were bad I disconnected the battery did the plugs and when I connected battery back on it doesn't even turn over! nothing lights turn on that's it
What is that gasket called?
Did you ever find out?
Intake manifold gasket. You can find them on Amazon for like $25. Some come with the throttle body gasket too for a few bucks more.
I thought there was 6plugs
You didnt do the rear ones though lol?
I have a scheduled appointment to get my spark plugs replaced and sheesh. I can see why it’s $300 😅. Take my money because … I’m just a girl and I’ll stay in my line of work
Im never working on a car again lol
Oh I see , this is one of them deals where you gotta change the bottom end to put new plugs in 😂 why is everything Acadia related Gotta be fkn difficult
Bro seriously...
Was an excellent way to suck Ton more money out of the consumer
Don't snap the pcv tube like I did. See how the video has an edit where he does it?
And this why they trying to charge me 1700 for a tune up 🤦🏾♂️
Where's coil 3?
Looks like to me GM makes their vehicles to throw away at about 100k. Remove the intake manifold for plugs what!
Better off paying the cost of an ASE mechanic to take the responsibility of something that should be a simple job than screw it up with debris in the head
That is to much work for some spark plugs
Take what off??? Maaaaannnnn 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why didn't you show how to remove rear spark plugs they are hardest not worth watching
Absolutely WRONG! No need to take out the intake. Reach behind and you can do it. At least mention it as possible.
I think it depends on the model. I have a 2011 GMC Acadia Denali, theres NO WAY to do it without taking the intake off. I can actually get the back 3, but there’s not enough clearance for the front 3. I did see videos where people could do it with out removing the intake. Weird…
model 2013 and after, you don't have to remove intake. Early models, need to remove intake
