2005 Endeavor Spark Plug Change
ฝัง

- The process isn't bad. Just have to set aside about an hour, relax, and just start taking things apart lol. The spark plugs (cyl 1, cyl 3, cyl 5 in back) are located under the intake manifold. The ones in front (cyl 2, cyl 4, cyl 6) are EASY TO GET TOO.
I've done this several times. I always use NGK laser iridium plugs and change them every 70,000 miles. Our 2004 Endeavor has 342k miles now. I always replace the valve cover gaskets and the six seals at the spark plug tubes. Why? The spark plug seals will leak. Digging out remnants of the valve cover gaskets is tedious but you have to have a clean mating surface for the new gaskets. I always replace two valve cover gaskets, the six spark plugs, the six valve cover seals, and the intake manifold gasket (comes in one piece with six holes). The whole job is usually over four hours. One time it took seven. I'm getting old and trying to line up the valve cover bolts through the new gaskets was painful. You do not want to strip a bolt so fingers only at first. Good luck.
I love this!!!! Great advice!
I’ve done this twice and my 2005 Endeavor has 257,000 miles now. I’m hoping to get to 300,000!
I have a 2008 endeavor with 184,000 miles😁 Best vehicle I've ever owned👍
What is your gap between your spark plugs and which ones did you buy ? Thanks

Thank you. I. Was being quoted $450 to do this job. You’re a lifesaver.
So glad to have helped
Ya 450 when the plugs only 45 bucks
Honestly I think I would rather pay that then do it myself that’s not too bad of a price
That "I busted no I popped the nut out" part made me laugh so hard, good video, helped me!
Thank you so much, man! This video saved my life when I had to replace my ignition coils
No problem!! I just changed the coils on mine.luckily it was just 2 of the 3 in the front (#2 and #6)
What size was the bolts in the back
Thanks for this video I got my 06 endeavor 14 months ago and I always do all the maintenance myself but this vehicle has been alot different & difficult to work on than I'm used to so I appreciate the in depth video Thanks again
Glad it helped! You're most welcome
You just saved us $300! Our local shops want that much to change spark plugs! Thanks to you and your video, we learned to do it yourself! Thank you VERY much. Blessings to you and yours. 🙏
wow I love hearing this! You are so welcome.
@@Garage-wt5jl I've had my mitsi for 15 years now and it's the best vehicle I've ever owned! Have driven it across the country, has 233k miles on it!! ❤ still running strong. I thank you very much for your video!! Totally grateful for your help. Thanks again!
@@serawalker3503 That's amazing! For some reason they don't hold their value though. Right now used ones are like $2 here in GA.
Thanks for doing this video best and only one ive seen aside from the guy who did 12 videos!!!
I saw his too ..which is what made me do mine lol
I burned out all my coils with a bad alternator a month ago. Cycling out one coil at a time over a few weeks, got really good at pulling the intake manifold. Great to have a partner, probably got it down to 30-40 min. Best to just change them all at once if you can afford it.
I really like the clarity of the video.
Id like to see how to remove the valve covers.
Man the way you explained everything was sooo funny and very helpful to me. Thanks so much 😊
🤣 glad to be of service!
Thanks man this is what's happening to mine, one side breaks light not will not turn off
Good sh*t, brother! I'm glad there are only two screws back there. For you DIY guys, if there is any sign of valve cover leak go ahead and fix it.
A little patience and you'll get her done
Thank you brother! You're a life saver!
Paul Larnce nooo problem!
Yeah, if you find OIL on your spark plugs; you will want to replace the Tube Seals as well as the Valve Cover Gaskets on BOTH. Don't bother cleaning off the old plugs, you will want to use New ones after you complete the reseal. Rule of Thumb - Once you're there, do it right the first time or you'll be going back in again 👍
Great video, but you should really get some rags and stick them in the intake ports to keep from any kind of sockets, washers,nuts or bolts from falling into your engine, that would be catastrophic, if you were to turn on your engine with something in the combustion chamber it will destroy your engine.
amauryrrr you are 100% right.....10000%
Great video brother 👍🏽
Def hope it helps
Aforementioned gasket at 12:50 is a pain to put back in. Almost impossible if you have the bolts back in the intake manifold.
I love my 2004 endeavor!!!!
Awesome video
Thank you beyond "so much!"
Thank you man
My man. Thanks for the video
no problem at all
About to attempt the same. Thanks for the video!👍🙂
I took the hoses off. Im here to remember where the rear valve cover hose went.. the bolt behind, the one that goes where the hoses are on that bracket, that back bolt..omg it fought me, did not want to come out. No way to get leverage at all, stayed hard the whole way out (thats what she said, cant miss an opportunity lol) but yea took me 3 damn days and alot of blood to get it out just to replace the rear valve cover gasket and now trying to remember where thst damn hose went
If you didnt say it i sure was😂. Sucks she fought so hard. Sometimes it just takes stepping back and viewing everything again after taking a break lol
lol nice thanks for video.
i would have redone the plugs with the video runnin lol!
Thank you so much!!!
Great video, thanks for posting...
I watched another video on how to change the plugs in this model of car, and it literally made me angry that they actually released such a poorly designed car to market. This thing is utter insanity. I mean, spark plugs should be easy for a novice to change, but this thing (if you don't know what, and where to disconnect things) seems very difficult to me.
I know this is completely off topic, but have you had any problems with your a.c. drain plugging up and leaking water on to your passenger floorboard? If so, did you unplug it yourself or take it in? I've been racking my brain trying to figure mine out. Thank You for this video though, I'm gonna try and change my spark plugs when it warms up.
David Graves wow. Actually I HAVE. It was when we first got the endeavor. We had that exact problem. I fixed it myself out in the drive way. There is a clogged drain that you can access with a piece of wire clothes hanger. I believe that problem was what lead me to start making videos about the endeavor because there was little to no video about it, BUT there is a write up on the procedure somewhere online because that's how I learned what to do.
You know when AllData shows 3.5 hours to change some damn spark plugs you're getting views lol.
Plenum: Is it possible to change the spark plugs without removing the plenum?
i’ve got a question that i can’t seem to get a decent answer on:
if you’ve done a transmission fluid change(not flush), how much fluid did you drain/put back? i’m wondering if it’ll be around 5 quarts that come out. thoughts?
On the top valve cover does that upper hose go into the air intake?
I know this was awhile ago im about to do mine in a few days...do u remember if you needed a new manifold gasket?did it have one at all?
Naw no new gasket needed. I don't recall that being a road block so maybe it didn't have one.
@@Garage-wt5jl thanks for the reply..im..gonna do both valve cover gaskets so it says it comes with the plenum gasket ??i literally just was looking it up ..but if it does not have one i will not install one..and thanks for this video..its gonna save me a good 45min in figuring where and what to take off..i can have it done alot faster now..appreciate you man!!and thanks again brother
I watched yours and the 1 i know you watched along with another dude who was doing a valve gasket and START TO FINISH 90minutes..without watching and absorbing all y'all videos it be like 4hours.NOW i can bang it out in 40min next time i blow a coil or plug...THANK YOU BROTHER!!!!!!!!!
Can you please post a link to the video which you said inspired you....
Or the name of the channel.....
this is a very old video. I can't remember what was going on back then. I'm sure I simply searched here on TH-cam.
@@Garage-wt5jl okay.
Thanks
Muy bueno Man
Do you happen to know if the Endeavor has an Idle Air Control Valve?
I'm sorry. I don't know.
Is it normal for oil to be in the plug holes?
It's not the end of the world but ultimately you will have to change your valve cover gasket. I'd suggest doing it while you're changing the plugs since everything is dismantled.
How reliable are they in your opinion
Joon kinloch how reliable are what? Endeavors? We've had ours for 3 years and it was bought second hand. It's been good to us. No major problems.
LaDarryl Hollingsworth thank you very much, I'm looking into purchasing a used one
Joon kinloch I see them on Craigslist and Facebook market place for as low as $2k
LaDarryl Hollingsworth ok thank very much!
I have a 2005 we bought new. 257,000 miles later and it’s still going strong. Change the timing belt if you buy a high mileage used one. Good luck, I’d buy another if I could find one.
Do you have to run premium in the endeavor
We have always put regular in our endeavor.
I have a 2008 and definitely notice it struggling if I don't put premium in it
All that trouble just for plug
yo kiero k los traduzcan en Español
Talk so much and simples show exact everything know see understand but talk talk talk so much waste of time hours.
Are you drunk? It's a 17 minute video with him explaining stuff at a mile a minute
Dude u talk more then u work
My bad ? 🤷🏿♂️
@@Garage-wt5jlno, it's not. You're explaining the job and doing it quite quickly. Great video.
