I followed your directions and had no issues replacing the coils. Your directions were spot-on. Thanks. The whole process took less than an hour. I was a little worried about where to place my jack. After crawling under the car I was able to find where to place my jack that work well.
I just replaced #3 coil pack and plug (the middle back one against the firewall) in an auto zone parking lot on my 06 Stratus 2.7L. No intake removal, no dropped engine. Just took out the 10mm bolt from the coil pack, lifted it clear of the intake and unplugged the wires, then angled it out of the hole. The bottom third of it is rubber and bends. Taking out the plug needed the spark plug socket with rubber insert, and two 90 degree swivels. I snap them together then electrical tape them at the connection points. Snake them down the plug hole, then attach the ratchet and loosen the spark plug enough. Detach the ratchet and finish removal with finger strength, and snake out old plug with the floppy extension you created. Attach new plug to the plug socket and curl it into plug hole with the two 90 degree swivels, finger tighten the new plug, and attach the ratchet and tighten the new plug. Then this is when the electrical tape comes in handy. Detach the ratchet and since I taped the plug socket to the first 90 degree swivel, and taped the first swivel to the second, I can pull the plug socket off the plug without leaving anything else in the hole. Then reverse the removal process for the coil install, bend the rubber part and smash your knuckles into the fiberglass firewall insulation, and the coil pack goes right in. Plug into the wire harness, and then tighten the 10mm bolt and I was done.
Thanks for watching Shannon! I use a combination on 1 inch and 2 inch extensions and spark plug socket. There isn't much room to install the socket and all the extensions at once do I use the socket....then add either the 1 or 2 inch extensions into the hole for the spark plug then add the last extension. Loose the plug all the way and then disassemble the extensions and socket as I pull them up out of the spark plug hole. Some sockets have a rubber insert that holds the plug during removal...if not then use a pocket magnet to pull the plug out of the hole
Thank you so much for making this video. Yours was the first “How to” video I clicked on, and I didn’t need to look any further. Wow, did I get lucky! My father worked as a mechanic and a machinist for almost 40 years, but retired from the industry in 1995. This means he didn’t have the same store of knowledge you do about the 2000+ cars. He knows how to change spark plugs, but not how to do it - specifically -on my 2005 Dodge Stratus. I was looking for a video that would show me the things that only an experienced mechanic would know about this exact car: removing the air filter housing, unbolting the transmission and lowering it etc. When I showed dad the video before we started working, the conversation went something like this: Dad: You don’t need to lower the transmission. This guy doesn’t know what’s he’s talking about. Me: Just take a minute and finish watching the video. You haven't done this in a while. Now go look under the hood; it’s a tight fit. Dad: (goes to garage and looks at my engine) Well, maybe if we just....hmmm....what idiot designed your car?! Me: Would you like me to bring the computer into the garage? Dad: Yes please. After that, that only thing I really had trouble with was dissembling and reassembling the extensions and sockets one handed. Plug #3 was vicious! Thank you again for taking the time to make the video! I am subscribing now, and I look forward to doing more work on my car with your help =)
+MzLizz77 Got to love stories like that. I too would probably have said the same thing as your dad did hah. I appreciate you finding the video and for taking the time to watch it. Glad it helped out in the end. Thanks for subscribing as well
Why skip the jack part? I have no idea where to put the jack when dropping my transmission with a jack. Seems like an important step for someone that’s never done it before
Very good video, I've been trying to find a good video how to do this for a long time. Any suggestions on pulling out the plugs before I tackle this myself. Thanks
Thanks bro I have a dodge stratus 05 same motor nvr could understand how to get to those in the back now I kno my question is I have one window working and 3 not what can it be u should do a video on serpentine belt on this car 🚘
I really enjoyed the video. It would have been really helpful if you had continued with the Spark Plug replacements and the location of the jack stands.
+Dad's Home Garage Thanks for the comment. I made the video awhile back and since then I agree....a few more points should have been added. I apologize for that and hope the viewers can still see around those items and complete the repair. I appreciate the info for sure. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already
Just use. ( 2) 3 inch extensions spark plug socket and ratchet. Drop the socket down to the plug.Drop 1 ext down.Then push down to connect the ext & socket on to the plug.Install the second ext and connect your ratchet. loosen the plug then remove ext's one at a time.No need to lower the engine. MOPAR OR NO CAR
Well one would have to pull the ignition coils out first before replacing the plugs, right..(?) So the lowering of the engine is still necessary, or am i missing something? Apologies if i misunderstood.
Yeah thats one reason I went cordless with all my tools.....had leaking air lines at the shop I work at and it did get annoying after awhile. Thanks for watching and again....sorry about the audio. I have since then make alot of changes and improved on the videos. Check out my latest to see the difference when you get time. Dont forget to subscribe when you get time
Finally, a video that does #5. Worked great!

I'm in the same boat... not sure where to place the jack eithe. I don't wanna put it on the pan
Where did u put it?

I knew it had to be simpler than “take half the engine apart first”
Make a vid bro

Great video, how many miles between spark plugs is recommended iam getting spark knock at 70k on the 2.7 ?
Great video. If you could though, it would be great to know where you place the jack and stands.
When repairing suspension is this any easier?
Thanks bro I have a dodge stratus 05 same motor nvr could understand how to get to those in the back now I kno my question is I have one window working and 3 not what can it be u should do a video on serpentine belt on this car 🚘

What other coils does an 08 sebring have
Great video, but please don't use an impact to install bolts
