Thanks for the video. Couldn't be better. With this clear explanation I feel capable of changing spark plugs and coils to my Mustang, saving taking it to the mechanic. Please make videos like this one. Teach us how to make fast fixes to common needs or problem of our car.
Thanks for the video......I'm a Brit in the UK and have an MG ZT V8 which were built with this exact same engine under the hood, i've got a new set of high performance coil packs to fit - after watching this, i think i'm confident in getting the job done now!
Thanks brother for posting this, I thought I had to take off the fuel rails, made the coil pack replacement a millions times easier and faster!
I'm watching this over and over. tomorrow I'll be doing the change. very first time i do this type of things to my mustang. I hope it all goes well. thanks for making this video.
MyStangLife ! Your welcome and good luck.
MyStangLife ! did you ever change your coil and plugs..how did it turn out..
John Gunter it turned out pretty well. easy job no complications. I was really careful with the spark plugs, but all went well.
MyStangLife ! gonna do mine weekend,starting to get a miss in it
Great video! Doing mine this weekend and will watch this again before I do.
Excellent video. Not that difficult. Very easy to follow. The 4.6V engine is not the prettiest, but the engine will last a long time if taken care properly.
Hey Chris thanks for your videos I also have an 04 GT Mustang with with a 4.6 engine you've actually help me save a lot of money by me doing my own maintenance on the vehicle I was actually afraid at first to do the maintenance but you made the video is quite simple to do once again thanks for helping me keep my sweetheart on the road.
Jeremiah Jimenez Your welcome glad it helped.
i have the same coilpacks in my 03, bout to pull the tb and plenum , clean those , new gaskets and then change the plugs. good video , thanks
Nice video! That Engine si super clean! Thanks for the walk through!
Thanks for making this video! So helpful.
Dude, I know how to crank a wrench on cars. But these new cars with there electrical components (coil packs) I've been hesitant to work on them. Watch Ur Video last night & did it this morning. IT WAS EASY, I APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEO !!!!
David Keichline Sr. Awesome glad it helped.
Awesome video! This is very helpful.
Great video! Very thorough. Thank you.
I just bought a 2002 Mustang GT. With less than 300 miles that I've put on it the service engine light came on. I was told it's a cylinder 8 misfire and it could be the spark plug or the ignition coil. I went ahead and bought both. I'm determined to learn how to work on this car myself. I've watched this video multiple times. I think I'm confident enough to give it a shot.
You got this have fun 👍
Thanks to your video it was an easy swap! Unfortunately the check engine light didn't turn off and it still isn't running right. So tomorrow I'll be looking further into it. I sincerely appreciate this video. It was the easiest to understand out of all the videos I watched thank you!!!
Getting ready to do this to my 02. Was kinda nervous, but you take the stress out! Mine is spitting and sputtering under a load. I checked the fuel pressure and it's fine. Thanks!
Dude this fix your splitter ?
Thanks man learnd a lot about a mustage
Great video. I have a bunch of stuff I don't want to take loose. 24in extension BRILLIANT!! SUBSCRIBED. Thanks Brother
Your Welcome!
Thanks Chris, great how to video.
Thank you so much for the video. Helped me a lot with my 2003 GT.
Sweet ride thanks for the tips!
Very well done sir. Thanks for posting that vid. Now one tip with all respect. Try to avoid as much as possible to not rest your arm on the shifting stick while driving as this puts extra wear on your shifting forks. Thank you very much for the info.
Hey, it’s a fellow Marco B!
Cheers buddy,very helpful
Great video thanks for sharing. My 04GT just hit 101k. 1st time ever the service engine soon light came on the other day read the code misfire #2 coil as I expected it was tune up time. Ur vid helped out a lot. Will be doing it tomorrow. Car sounds great 🔥🔥!! Your shifter looks taller than mine is it stock? If not what is it?
very helpful !!! thanks !!!
Did the swap myself worked out perfect really not that hard was my first time ever doing something on an engine
I don’t know if I blinked to long or turned my head away to long but I never saw you remove or replace the driver side coil packs😆😞must not be as easy as you said!
heres my story on my 99 gt mustang. been getting check eng light for misfire plugs 3&7 the eng code would clear its self no problems for some time then..going home the other day lost a cylinder got home check the code number #3. changed the plug and coil on 3 changed the plug on 7. found 6 blew out of the hole bingo the problem right( 35k miles on the plugs.) around town driving after the repair check eng light #3 again pulled the plug back out checked it put it back ran great for 5 min or so. i spark tested #3 with a jig set up with a used coil and a newspark plug work great. tested the new coil and spark plug weak spark. the new coil was not making good contact with the spark plug. CHECK THE NEW PLUGS AND COILS BEFORE YOU PUT THEM IN.. ALL MY PARTS WERE FORD MOTORCRAFT..
I subscribed. Ty buddy 25 yrs old, oddly enough made bad decisions in life to where my dads and uncles don't want to help me but hell that's life, and these mechanics will charge you 200 to change something with 2 bolts
Hope the video helped.
aint going to lie got three kids an Christmas so maybe I get a bouns I want those same accel parts,but once I get those I think you provide more than enough detail ty buddy
great video my man, about to jump on my 03 4.6 GT I think my starting problem lies in this area. I degreased the engine and have had starting issues ever since. Prior there where not any
Scott Harmon Thanks hope it solves your problem.
if water gets down into the plugs it probably shorted out the coils
im getting these coils and plugs i cant wait
Great my 04 GT has been running great since I put these plugs in.
CHRIS10077 I'm glad it's still running great I already have them ordered!
Awesome !
Just curious man i got a torque wrench but its way its a 5/8 drive and im on a tight budget. so just curious when you say the strength of one hand, are you going full strength in one hand or like 75%? Like the difference between betting money on arm wrestling vs arm wrestling your 15 year old nephew?🤣
I only say this cause im a pretty strong guy and i dont wanna do too much with my one hand because i really need my car man super dependant on it right now and it needs maitenance asap
Hi did this get rid of the sputtering sort of hesitation thing
Hey bud where did u get the 5/8 magnetic 🧲 spark plug socket?
well ether tomorrow or sometime this week ill be giving this a shot
i got same gt? thanx man i like it
I replaced all plugs due to chugging n lugging in 5th gear. Finished and prob solved for only about 6 miles and now it's chugging again. What u guys recommend next on my 03 Mach 1. Ty
coils good? throttle body clean?injectors good?
Thanks
How are these holding up?
Why does your car knock when you first start it up? Knock sensor?
Thanks bro
You are welcome!
What’s the name of the first song?
Thank you thank you thank you! I'm ready to tackle this!!
Your welcome.
Hows is your Mustang reacting non Ford parts? I use to use the Accel Super Coil on my old 77 360ci dodge van that coil put out tons of spark and I got zapped once by it too hurt like hell!
The Mustang runs like a champ no misfires no problems so far.
Replaced spark plugs with good ones, than did the Accel coils finally,happy new year but I gotta bigger problem at hand,damn intake manifold isn't any good
logan sneed Yea if it's not one thing it's another Happy 2018 and good luck.
CHRIS10077 I know shit is sickening, elederbrock intake is 355 b4 tax,then thought about buying fel pro gaskets
Could you notice a difference between the stock coils and the accel?
Yes a little seems to have better acceleration .
If my check engine light is flashing and I'm not getting much power to the engine so it misfiring?? And can I just change the coils and wires if so?
You need to hook up a OBD reader and see what error codes it's throwing because could be that it has nothing to do with the coils and or spark plugs.
Spark plugs
What does the dielectric grease do exactly
Ty Fenstermacher Protects against corrosion and moisture.
I had to replace the coil connectors on the wiring harness because they no longer snapped into place.
good video but use copper anti seize in aluminum heads
Have any issues with any of the spark plugs blowing back out?
+Oz World No not at all .
I'm going to be changing mine in my 03 gt soon and have been hearing these engines tend to blow them back out. Making me hesitate to do them but good video. Very helpful for someone doing them for the first time.
older 4.6 heads only have 4 threads holding the plugs in, so gotta be careful and not over torque the plugs and cross tread
on my 03 gt it says it needs #4 cylinder coil i think or the fourth coil and spark plug is that the last one on ur left ?
Yes I believe it is the last cylinder on the left.
jerry rodriguez was your car chugging or lugging in 5th by chance?
no but like during 2nd to 3rd it feels like it lags like need more power...put all new sparkplugs and still does it put a brand new coil i bought from autozone and cracked the bottom of it and melted it so idk its annoyin smh
yes on 5th thats when i notice it smh
jerry rodriguez check your O2 sensor yet? Heard that 02 sensor can b bad.
I have the same problem to my '03 V6 Mustang
Have you had any issues with them yet?
No issues whatsoever .
Hey Chris I found an 04 mustang (ash) with 92k original miles its 8,400 that seems really overpriced what would be a reasonable offer
Jihadi John Very over priced.
Jihadi John. hes selling his. for 8k now
Got mine for 3k
Don’t pay that much man. Don’t worry about mileage since 4.6 engines are known to last well over 200k miles. I bought mine for 4,400 with 125k miles
I wouldn't pay more then 6k for a gt 6k being a clean one with decent miles. Mods done are a different story which can drive price up but never over 10k you start getting in that range might as well buy a cobra
The only problems I see are:
A.) you SHOULD NOT start the new spark plugs with the socket. That's a good way to cross thread them in. If u do that, you will need new heads! Instead, take the ratchet off and if you have to, u can still use the extensions but that will still be ok to finger tighten them. It's harder to cross thread them that way.
And
B.) ALWAYS torque bolts, spark plugs, etc. take some money u saved doing the work yourself and buy a good click type torque wrench. They're like $75 at Sears
Also, around the 15 minute mark he is rocking the ratchet to break the old plugs loose. U should avoid that! It's an easy way to break em off.
Ive been working on cars,bikes, bicycles, jetskis, lawnmower, minibikes, my whole life. Never used a torque wrench once
You dont need a torque wrench to do this the manual only says that so you dont end up over tightening them and crush the the threads but if your mindful while doing it like he was you will be ok just a slightly snug is enough
Hi did you have any codes
No I had no codes just decided to put new plugs in.
only buy denso or motorcraft coils. denso is fords oe manufacturer for coils. and only motorcraft spark plugs
Ever since i install the accell coil packs on my 2000 mustang gt i blow a coil every year.Factory coils are better.
Cylinder 5???
really?i thought accel was a great product? its not better than factory?
What's the best option I don't want to buy cheap coils for this to happen
Accel coils are garbage! I put some on my 99 e250 5.4, lasted 13-14 months and have been dropping off one by one..
What have you heard about the sr performance coils in comparison
@@constanizoharris I found a deal on Ebay, M.S.D. street fire coils that are store returns, never been out of the box in most cases. Like 11$ a coil, I bought a set of 8, they were brand new, they come straight from m.s.d. great so far..
Accel coils are junk and the only good place for them are in the trash can.Have installed them and come back with a misfire weeks later.Plugs are the same way,OEM plugs only and it has been proven vehicles run better what was installed from the factory
Installed one in a 1999 Expedition with the 5.4 and it came right back about 2 weeks later,misfire code appeared.It was that Accel coil that went bad and replaced it with a stock coil.Never came back with that misfire
wafrederick Same here ,I bought some for my 04 Mercury Marauder and within a month I was misfiring at idle and check engine light came on. Stock is best!
@@Toolaholic7 where can I get the coils from factory
Ford and certain auto parts stores that sell Motorcraft
one person has a v6 mustang and hates life
Let's open up this bone stock 2v with coil packs cause I can buy $200 coil packs but not a cold air intake or a exhaust on my 260hp mustang I mean snail
Andrew Bright Cold air intakes are gimmicks. Stock setup has cold air coming from passenger side fender....not under hood. Been tested over and over and over again. Just looks cooler. Only induced air, intake manifolds, and cams make real power upgrades.
While it is true that the stock setup also pulls cool air from the fender well, the downside or "restriction" lies in the small air horn that it pulls the air through in order to quiet the engine for the majority of original buyers who wouldn't want a necessarily "loud" sounding intake. Hence aftermarket cold air intakes have more air flow, this has also been proven.
SUCKER detected! haaha CAI are a myth (They do work ONLY when you TUNE them, without tuning they are useless...sucker)
@@1deadly187 most 2V owners remove that snorkel piece you're talking about...you can just take it off or cut it in half so the opening is larger...easy fix... CAI really don't do jack shit for 2V Mustangs... these engines don't respond well to bolt on mods at all... youre better off with the stock stuff, for the most part
