This is a well deserved like for this video. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without it. Thank you so much, I couldn’t get leverage to take off those little clips that hold the bolts on the ignition coil with a flat head, so I used a hook pick and that did the trick. Excited for this e30 tune now that I have fresh plugs gapped to .28 😁
Hey thanks bud! I was a little intimidated but it ended up feeling like taking apart Legos. Certainly more complicated than my Focus ST but your video helped tremendously. One tip for anyone about to do the job, go ahead and blow out the spark plug well with compressed air after you remove the coil pack but BEFORE you remove the plugs. The wells on my engine had a little dust and crushed leaves down in them after 35k miles. Also, if you’re debating if you need to change the plugs so early on the Sports, pay attention to your idle. If it’s ever so slightly rough and dips a little too low at idle occasionally (especially with the AC on) then that’s a telltale sign. Mine had those symptoms at 30k miles and after changing the plugs at 35k she idles smooth as glass again. All Ecoboosts were just really hard on plugs until they went to dual injection in the next generation after our Sports, so change plugs early and often. 35k miles is as far as I’d go on a set, and probably 25-30k if you run a long commute every day.
Well, I have a 2020 Edge ST with the 2.7 with 75k miles and a tune. I decided it was time to change the factory plugs. The front three were a cake walk. Then comes those back three. I started taking things off the night before and got frustrated, so I gave up till this morning and found your video. When I saw how you pulled the intake tube back with a bungie cord, I was home free. A tool I suggest as well is an Astro set of spark plug sockets with extensions. The sockets are magnetic and makes not dropping a plug no problem. Again, thanks for the video that helped me so much.
Hi, thank you for the video! Now I know what I suspected, rear turbo intake stays and is just moved. Can you share what the tightening torque is? I would use 40 N.M. from experience from my Mustang 05 GT. BTW I will install NGK Ruthenium HX plugs on my 3.0tt Ecoboost.
Hello sir! Thank you the video. How much time did it take to replace the 6 plugs. Is there anything else that should be replace when swapping out the plugs. Thank you!
I’m currently doing this right now for my 2017 Lincoln Continental AWD 2.7l Turbo EB. Identical engine as yours. My front is done and as I expected the Turbo tube would need to be moved. Just wasn’t sure if it could be moved or had to be removed. Thanks for the video. Real quick what cold air do you have on yours? Thanks
AOT, I'm updating the FFS 1/4 and 1/8 mile list. Did you ever got a chance to go to a track and run low 12's? I know you test with your Dragy device, but can't use that on the list. Just keep me inform. Thanks
@@AOT-offroad good luck, drive smart. Yeah, same here, track open 6 weeks of delay. I was hoping for lower DA. What sucks, street cars won't be able to race on drag racing day events....extra sticky on those days.
because the heads are aluminum and the plug is not. It doesn't have to be ice cold but it should be equal to the temp outside even if it's 110 lol I used to live in Tempe.
I did this on my 2016 Edge Sport and when I was done and started it, it sounded terrible, had a rough idle then died. Does anyone know what I did wrong?
Clean mass air flow, map sensor, could also be a clogged injector, fuel filter or something in the fuel system. Also worst case scenario it's your valves inside the engine. Being stuck open, burnt or bent.
Metals expand and contract, you would be putting a cold plug into a hot engine a cold plug is going to be smaller and the engine threads will have expanded so when you torque the plugs that torque is going to be wrong and over torqued when the metals warm up together leading to a seized plug and at worst case damages the threads in the heads the next time they have to come out.

Glad to hear that the video helped and that is an awesome suggestion Larry! Thank you
Thanks brother! I was looking to see what I was going to up against changing plugs. Just what I needed.
Glad to hear this helped!
Appreciate the detailed help. Just did plugs on my mkx
Thank you for the comment much appreciated, I'm glad this helped
Glad I found this video. My 2018,MKX has 43k on it and considering changing the plugs even though it's running great
great car
thanks very helpful !
You're welcome!
Big like
Thank you for the right up I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out my self lol
Just really glad that it helps people out. Please like and subscribe if you could. Much appreciated

I'm going to try today as our track has just opened but instead of an opening day 450' DA it's 4871' DA here now.

@@twinforce_fusion6560 I ran a best of 12.4 @ 112mph. I will be posting the video from last year. Been busy with work.
I live in AZ lol wondering why does it have to be cold before you put it in, I’m talking about the plug
because the heads are aluminum and the plug is not. It doesn't have to be ice cold but it should be equal to the temp outside even if it's 110 lol I used to live in Tempe.
Details on the specter air filters
I fabricated my own intake and I picked those universal filters up on Amazon for cheap
I did this on my 2016 Edge Sport and when I was done and started it, it sounded terrible, had a rough idle then died. Does anyone know what I did wrong?
I have a question 🙋🏽♂️ guy’s can bad spark plugs cause your car RPM to rev high and just completely lose power and die out and start sputtering
Clean mass air flow, map sensor, could also be a clogged injector, fuel filter or something in the fuel system. Also worst case scenario it's your valves inside the engine. Being stuck open, burnt or bent.
Do these plugs need any lubricant prior to installing them?
I always add a little dielectric grease to my plugs the portion that the wire claps onto.
Always add a little anti seize to the threads of a spark plug. Makes coming out easier and especially in aluminum heads.
What intake do you have?
I fabricated it out of sheet aluminum I have and some Amazon Spectre filters and adapters i custom made
Why should you not do this when the car is hot? Need a little more clarification even tho the dealership will be performing this
Metals expand and contract, you would be putting a cold plug into a hot engine a cold plug is going to be smaller and the engine threads will have expanded so when you torque the plugs that torque is going to be wrong and over torqued when the metals warm up together leading to a seized plug and at worst case damages the threads in the heads the next time they have to come out.
engine?
see vid description ecoboost 2.7L TT
This is why I’m seriously considering an EV.
