As a car guy wrenching on antique and old British cars for decades, I really dreaded having to replace the four spark plugs on my Ford Edge due to fears of galvanic corrosion and associated thread damage. A few days ago, I discovered this most wonderful instructional video and performed the "operation" today with total success! Thank you so much! And yes, after eight years of use and 100K miles later, I did have some cranky plugs to remove.
Thank you for this excellent video. As a result, I had zero trouble changing the plugs on my 2015 Edge. The car has 180,000 miles, and the engine is holding up nicely. This was its first spark plug replacement. Although there had been no fuel mileage deterioration, the new plugs did bring back the low-end pep the car had seven years ago - well worth doing. Your effort in putting together this video is greatly appreciated. Everything was just right, with nothing too little and nothing too long. BTW, my car did have the retainer bolt for the air duct, which yours was missing. 13mm box end easily took care of it. Many thanks again!
180k damn. My wife's 2018 just threw a code for cylinder 2 misfire so I'm going ahead and replacing all 4 plugs and ignition coils. Manual recommends plugs every 100k and she just hit 104k on hers. Never lucky I guess lol
I'm doing my first change at 126,000 still getting 24 MPG all-around type driving however low end is lacking the get-up.. Ryan sure makes it look easy great step by step instruction.
I saw a newer Ford Edge with 2.0L ecoboost (2019 or 2020+) where the feed line to the high pressure fuel pump was completely blocking removal of #4 ignition coil.. have you encountered this yet? Same with 2.0 ecoboost version of the new maverick.
Rotate plug 90 degrees clock wise, remove the 2 bolts holding air cleaner pipe and the band attaching it to air filter housing, push it back slightly and pull plug out
I saw this on another video when dealing with spark plugs on a 2.0 EcoBoost where it is blocked by that. You're supposed to remove that piece and replace the bolts it's only two bolts, however you can use a wobbly bit with a 8 or 7 mil deep socket and extension and be able to get in there and get the bolt out to remove the coil
I have a 19 Edge SEL with about 57k miles. I’m getting a little sputter between 25-40 mph. Think changing the spark plugs would help eliminate what’s wrong?
Just FYI, NGK recommends not to use anti-seize. Per their website: "Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat rating of the spark plug and can result in serious engine damage caused by pre-ignition. Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental."
Really you are very professional, i just did it and brought everything you used literally and it was like very easy and it goes very smooth and soft Thank you
Our 2020 Edge 2.0lt ecoboost is different then the car you used in the video. It does not have the air intake tube going across the valve cover. However there is a fuel line going in to or out of the high pressure fuel pump and it goes right over the top of cylinder #4 coil pack. There isn't enough room to pull the coil out on the head let alone take the plug out. That is what I'm looking for help on.
I have a 2021 Ford Edge with a 2.0 Ecoboost on it and the high pressure fuel pump is right on top of the 4rd cylinder coil I cant find a video about how do it.
Your a life saver I ended up putting a bolt in A Hole for block it wasn’t going I panicked, I see the hole now nothing is in there in your video thanks for this!!
Do the spark plugs half to be torqued down in these newer 2.0l eco boost just for checking them I have a slight misfire where I can hear it out the exhaust very slightly
Great video 👍🏼, question I have though is that motorcraft boot you show says it is not a fit for my 2018 edge titanium 2.0 ecoboost on any site I check, including rock auto when I do a lookup for my vehicle. In fact, I can’t find a part number for just the boot like you ordered for my 2018 edge 2.0. Thanks
I also found there was not a boot for my 2017 titanium 2.0 ecoboost. The part number from the link in the description only applies to 2013-2016 Escapes. I could not find an alternative for the 2017-2019 models.
Great video,👍🏼 but I noticed that in you're video you're using NGK spark plugs and the link that you included was for Autolite plugs that are NOT pregapped! Very thorough video though. Thank you!
Some people don't use one for plugs. But you do run the risk of under or over tightening it which can ruin you cylinder head really quickly. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros also sounds like the 4th plug is harder to reach on the 2019 2.0 engine. Don you happen to have any advice or experience with that? Thanks!!
So I attempted this and number two would budge but barely and kept Ed popping… should I continue? I added WD40 but didn’t warm the engine, everything in reading is don’t do the spark plugs hot. So I stopped just in case
Try it cold then. All Data said warm not hot. I like to soak the plug in carbspray or WD and seesaw it back and forth until it becomes very easy. Then removal is a breeze. Thanks for watching!
Hey brother!! I’m back!! Quick question, my wife’s car is throwing p0302 so I switched coil packs and see if that was it and drove it around and still throwing p0302. I’m going to pull the spark plug #2 and check it and maybe do a compression test. What else should I do in this instance? And what’s common on these
My friend Veronica asked me if I knew a good mechanic and I told her yes! So I saw your video and I said to myself I can do it for her. Not to boast but I saved her around 100-200 dollars. It gets me upset a lot of mechanics take advantage of people so I wanted to help her out. She wanted to pay me and I told her nooooo! We took the vehicle for a test drive and so far so good. I've mentioned to her in case you might think that is going to vibrate at a stop light or something and let me know. Hoping for the best. Thanks for posting up the video... much appreciated it.👍🙏
Why didn’t you show how to remove the wiper blade and cowl panel? Quite important pieces of information to omit don’t you think? Other than that, it’s not a difficult job.
No it's not you don't even touch it when doing plugs ever at least on an edge. On an escape with the 2.0 EcoBoost it is recommended to remove the cowl but you can still do it without removing the cowl using wobble bit
This video was a 10/10. Very thorough
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
One of the best how-to videos I have ever used! Careful, methodical, and told me what to watch out for when removing plugs. Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful!

I have never seen an instructional video as so finely detailed as yours. I will definitely be coming to your site for any information
Awesome, thank you!
Ditto on the excellent video! Your explanations and instructions for a DIY couldn't be any better. Great job.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Another fantastic video! Thank you, Sir👍
Thank you. I really appreciate you and I feel very empowered that I can do this myself
I saw a newer Ford Edge with 2.0L ecoboost (2019 or 2020+) where the feed line to the high pressure fuel pump was completely blocking removal of #4 ignition coil.. have you encountered this yet? Same with 2.0 ecoboost version of the new maverick.
I’m dealing with this right now.
Same I haven’t been able to figure out how to do it with out removing the high pressure fuel pump
Rotate plug 90 degrees clock wise, remove the 2 bolts holding air cleaner pipe and the band attaching it to air filter housing, push it back slightly and pull plug out

Like a true instructor. Phenomenal
Starting from 2019 , the 4th coil is a little bit different and harder to get to. It is blocked by this metal piece (pump?)
Excellent video! Tips, tricks, and info were spot on, easiest plug replacement I've ever done! Thanks, guys!
I like the tips and sequencing as well. It's easy to follow and simplifies the steps.

Glad I could help!
Thanks for an excellent video. I didn't realize that Ford recommended replacing the coil boots. I have decided to purchase all new coils.
Great to hear!
Young man, excellent, excellent video!
Thank you kindly!
I came here to figure out how to disconnect the yellow clip. Thank you for saving the day!
You are welcome!
Really appreciate teh links for parts and details
The link for spark plugs do fit a 2018 ford edge correct brother ??

Did I miss you doing the three in back by firewall?
Really appreciate the video; helped me get through with ease. Just a heads up, NGK specifically states not to use anti seize.
NGK won't be the ones pulling these plugs out in a few years. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2021 Ford Edge with a 2.0 Ecoboost on it and the high pressure fuel pump is right on top of the 4rd cylinder coil I cant find a video about how do it.
Your a life saver I ended up putting a bolt in
A
Hole for block it wasn’t going I panicked, I see the hole now nothing is in there in your video thanks for this!!
Did you do number 4 plug?or did i miss that
Do the spark plugs half to be torqued down in these newer 2.0l eco boost just for checking them I have a slight misfire where I can hear it out the exhaust very slightly
Hello thank you for this really good video but the peg looking the thing that the covers sit on like the pegs what are they called?
I would call them engine cover pegs. Thanks for watching!
What brand of socket do you prefer? Rubber insert/magnetized? Thanks!
I prefer rubber but I haven't use the high powered magnetic ones yet that are supposed to be amazing. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. Very good instructions as well as informative. 👍👍
Solid Work Sir!
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you post a link to the NGK spark plugs?
Do the listed boots work and apply to a 2017 Edge 2.0 4 cylinder eco boost
Yeah that is what this is. Thanks for watching!
Great video 👍🏼, question I have though is that motorcraft boot you show says it is not a fit for my 2018 edge titanium 2.0 ecoboost on any site I check, including rock auto when I do a lookup for my vehicle. In fact, I can’t find a part number for just the boot like you ordered for my 2018 edge 2.0. Thanks
That's interesting, I would think it's the same. Well then just look for a the boot for your year the old fashioned way. Thanks for watching!
I also found there was not a boot for my 2017 titanium 2.0 ecoboost. The part number from the link in the description only applies to 2013-2016 Escapes. I could not find an alternative for the 2017-2019 models.
Thanks for the video. With your help, I can do this myself!
5/8 socket for spark plugs. Got it
A cuanto van calibradas?
Excelente video !!! Saludos
Is there anything much different with the 2.7L V6 besides the amount of spark plugs that are replaced?
Thanks. Going to work on my 2018 ford edge with p0302 code.
Great video,👍🏼 but I noticed that in you're video you're using NGK spark plugs and the link that you included was for Autolite plugs that are NOT pregapped! Very thorough video though. Thank you!
Thank you, good sir!
Very welcome!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Very good

Second verse, same as the first! Judy is a Punk!😁
What if you don’t have a torque wrench?
Some people don't use one for plugs. But you do run the risk of under or over tightening it which can ruin you cylinder head really quickly. Thanks for watching!

@@2carpros I love you guys and thanks for the help… I love this channel wish you were near Oklahoma! Lol I have a foxbody I love tinkering on

You Should Have Your Own School 👍👍
I'd love to have that! But TH-cam is like my virtual school at least! Thanks for watching!

Who gaps plugs post 1995?
They are usually off, it is a good idea to check them. Thanks for watching!
Why didn’t you show how to remove the wiper blade and cowl panel? Quite important pieces of information to omit don’t you think? Other than that, it’s not a difficult job.

My friend has a 2017 Escape with the 2.0. That’s why I asked.
I've got to do a tune up on our company truck tomorrow, a 2017 Silverodo with a 5.3....easy job.
Sounds like fun! Thanks for watching!
Thks for video
How many Nm need to tight?
Hmmm good straight forward video
Ugh the dealer is charging me about $500. I’m debating doing this myself 🫣
It's not bad! Saving that 500 bucks is pretty sweet. Thanks for watching!
