Torque specs for the manifold are 105 in/lbs, not 150 in/lbs as you stated. Doing so could cause breaking a bolt or cracking the manifold. I know this video is 5 yrs old, but still is frequently watched, so please take the time to correct your mistake. You might also take a second to clarify the orientation when seating that blue gasket on the upper egr tube, as it's commonly installed backwards, (even by trained "professionals"). Other than that, thank you for taking the time to make this video.
I started torquing the manifold bolts to 150 inch lbs as you said it calls for but it was taking forever to click and it felt like too much torque and was about to strip the threads out. I googled the torque spec and references several forums and other websites that all stated the torque is actually 105 inch lbs or 6 ft lbs. I removed the bolts and set the torque to 105 and all went well.
So I keep trying conversions to get this math people are doing, while this video was way off on the inch pounds, the 105 required was just around 8.3. I was wondering if you used a different conversion?
min 12:16 to 12:17 was edited. its very hard to plug back the egr tube in the intake without to lubricate the blue seal or blue o ring and the intake manifold hole where it go in
Great video, one small suggestion use a small container like a coffee can to put small nuts, ect. Into so they will not fall on the ground and roll away.
I bought a couple of small divided craft boxes for nuts, etc. As I remove them I put them in a certain order in the box. That way the same nuts from the same part are all together. I also put magnetic tape on the bottom of it so I can adhere it safely somewhere to the motor or tool chest. It has saved me a lot of headaches.
I’m a female that gets the worst when maintenance to my vehicle is involved I’ve done quite a bit actually better than some idiot men I’m just fed up wasting money or getting the pervs an shysters so this is my next tackle I’ll be dammed if I trust someone else I just gotta get to a pawn shop for better tools oh btw new subbie too thank you for sharing your skills though you made it seem simple ik this is gonna be a challenge I’m determine to tackle on my own in my overalls TODAY!!!!

I appreciate the video step by step im a visual learner and i fixed the problem with the car now the electronic throttle connector is popping up on the dash any tips on fixing that ?
How about changing the spark plugs on a 2005 300c with just one coil per cylinder? Do they still use 16 spark plugs some how? Almost all posts online suggests 16 spark plugs on the 5.7 but I only see 8 coils with single sleeve.

Hey a lightning red light comes on and my car starts to shake . I turned off and on and it goes away. What do you recomend. My car is a Chrysler 300 3.5 07

Probably too late to be of any help to you, but just in case someone else has the same issue, first place to check is the blue gasket on the upper end of the egr tube right where it connects into the back of the manifold. It's a known issue for these cars. I've had to replace mine several times over the last decade. They'll either end up getting sucked into the manifold or they get torn and compromise the seal.
Dear 1A Auto - THANKS !! But I cant find the bigger blue GASKETs and the small rounded one in the shop....please can you give me a link? or number? THANKS A LOT

@@1AAuto No it does not give you power. It converts the low voltage into a high enough voltage needed to allow a spark to jump the gap. The amperage is reduced however. So to truly answer if the ignition coil gives you power, that answer would be no. The power is initially supplied by the battery and then by the alternator.
It’s not a 10 mm bolt All the spark plugs on my O5 Chrysler 300 come with hex keys, not bolts and all mine are stuck and won’t come off. How do I get these off?
I don't like how they say you need a full set of these metric wrenches or sockets because you don't actually use a full set in this video I believel they just don't know what you need and include that but it would be a lot more informative if they actually told you. Why would I need a full set if I'm only using 1 or 2 of the sizes.
once the socket is seated on the plug you should have to press down at all really. When installing, start by turning the extension by hand before switching to ratchet or torque wrench
Have all my spark plugs in and replaced , everything is reconnected, couple coils replaced but when I turned my engine on the engine started to shake violently and did want to properly run, and idea of what it can be?
+Miroz We do not have a way of being able to diagnose the issue that you are experiencing with your vehicle but suggest taking it to a local mechanic for a proper diagnosis.
Thomas Jackson-- Yup except our 2005 models the ignition coils have 2 torx screws. They really suck. Try not to to strip them when taken them out or tighten them in.
Hi, I just attempted to change my own spark plugs.. Chrysler 300 2005 3.5.. I changed all 6 ! Now my car shakes and check engine light is on. It sounds like air is leaking somewhere. Help!!

How many spark plugs do I need for 2007 Chrysler 300
So I do I need to purchase wires for my 2008?

Same. Torqued to 150 in lbs, busted a bolt. Rechecked vid and confirmed he said 150. Checked a few other places and found 105 as well.
So I keep trying conversions to get this math people are doing, while this video was way off on the inch pounds, the 105 required was just around 8.3. I was wondering if you used a different conversion?

Would vaseline be ok to use?
I was having trouble having it reach the manifold - I don’t even remember taking it off
@@franciscogalvan37 same problem I’m having. Even bought a new tube thinking it was damaged

Good video. I confirm, the required torque for the plenum bolts is 105 in/lbs. Your're right on Kimo. Be careful guys. Best ....
Found this out the hard way. It's definitely 105 in/lbs
Thank you for the informative video and thank you to the commentors who gave the updated torque specs.

Do you recommend using any type of grease on the coil tube when installing the new plugs? (I'm running NGK iridium's) ty
Thanks for the info I just changed my sparks on 09 300
Exellent!
Even better that Mike from Breaking Bad gave us such great instructions!
I appreciate the video step by step im a visual learner and i fixed the problem with the car now the electronic throttle connector is popping up on the dash any tips on fixing that ?
If that occur as a result of doing what was done in this video or is that something that entirely happened on its own?
Best detailed videos and great parts. Thanks.

Right 16 ? I only see 8
Do you have to change the intake manifold gasket when you change the spark plugs?
+@desbreasia It is not necessary to replace the gasket.
What type of cold air intake is that. I have a 05 limited.
+Jordan Thompson Thank you for checking us out! Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding the intake that was in that vehicle. Please let us know if you have any further questions, thank you!
How about how to change them in the 2016 dodge charger? Or 2016 chrysler 300? Since they are both the pentastar engine
sure it is a lot work,, just to replace or change the sparks plugs,,
Try doing a sienna
Can you do one with a 2010

Do ignition coils give you power
+Carlos Leonardo Yes the ignition coils is what converts the voltage that helps give you spark! 1aauto.com

So to truly answer if the ignition coil gives you power, that answer would be no. The power is initially supplied by the battery and then by the alternator.
What size extension bar is it that you are using for the 5/8 tool?
Can someone help me with the correct gap for the spark plugs please?
It’s not a 10 mm bolt All the spark plugs on my O5 Chrysler 300 come with hex keys, not bolts and all mine are stuck and won’t come off. How do I get these off?
I didn't see the part where disconnecting the back metallic connection of the intake.

How hard to push down with spark plug socket
+BansheePenguin1108 Not hard. just enough pressure
once the socket is seated on the plug you should have to press down at all really. When installing, start by turning the extension by hand before switching to ratchet or torque wrench
+Eric Thanks for the tip!
my manifold would not come out because of tranny dipstick.- was still able to access all the spark plugs without completely removing it.
Have all my spark plugs in and replaced , everything is reconnected, couple coils replaced but when I turned my engine on the engine started to shake violently and did want to properly run, and idea of what it can be?
+Miroz We do not have a way of being able to diagnose the issue that you are experiencing with your vehicle but suggest taking it to a local mechanic for a proper diagnosis.
I bet it was the egr tube gasket. Or the tube wasn't in far enough, for gasket to seal it to the manifold . Was this the problem?
do I have to open the hood for this?
+Pa Cass Thanks for checking us out! Yes, you would need to open the hood to complete this repair.
bruh ☠️
05 isn't built like this for the most part and I needed a star bit. I'm not sure what was used to take put the spark plugs.
What size torque bit? For my ignition coil bolts or screws. 2006 Dodge Magnum 3.5
is it the same for a 2005 as well? Because mines is an Touring
Thomas Jackson-- Yup except our 2005 models the ignition coils have 2 torx screws. They really suck. Try not to to strip them when taken them out or tighten them in.

06 has two torque bolts for each coil as well.

Hi, I just attempted to change my own spark plugs.. Chrysler 300 2005 3.5.. I changed all 6 ! Now my car shakes and check engine light is on. It sounds like air is leaking somewhere. Help!!
+jessica p Maybe a spark plug wasn't installed properly. You may want to have it diagnosed.
I got the same thing going on.. Shaking im mad. The sound is coming from the egr tube. I think someone had sealant on it
9 ft lbs is 108 inch lbs not 150 inch lbs
