    When I called local Honda dealership they quoted $178 plus tax to change plugs on my Element. I asked for price just to buy plugs they quoted $20.70 each. NAPA wanted $13.73 each. AutoZone $9.99 each and oreileys auto parts $9.97 each. I called a private shop they quoted $155 to replace plugs. When I asked why so high they said on Element valve cover gasket has to be replaced cost $32. Not true after watching your video. Thank you. It pays to shop around.

      Ha, my local dealer wanted 250 bucks and 25 or 30 bucks for one of the crappy platinum plugs. Fact is dealers and most mechanics are a total rip off.

      Halverdog , $32 to replace the valve cover gasket? That’s cheap!!

      I wondered how much it would have cost had I not seen this video and did it myself. I bought 4 spark plugs and the long spark plug ratchet thingy for $52, and I finished the job in 30 minutes.

    Appropriate socket? How about 10 mm something like that?

    You guys really should have talked about Gapping and pound setting on the torque wrench. It would have helped a lot.

    • @2carpros
      @2carpros  Před 7 lety +1

      Agreed! The new ones do, thank you for watching!

    This worked to perfection, I did remove the negative batter cable first though.....

  • @castle4610
    @castle4610 Před 8 lety +5

    Thanks for the video. You say to tighten the plugs to the torque specs in the service manual. I don't have a service manual. What are they for a 2007 Element?

    • @pnwesterner6220
      @pnwesterner6220 Před 4 lety +1

      about 11 foot-pounds, good luck finding a torque wrench at an affordable price that has a setting this low.

  • @LP-ou3hy
    @LP-ou3hy Před 8 lety +4

    Should add that you should disconnect negative battery cable first and also add what ft/lbs for plugs.

    • @2carpros
      @2carpros  Před 8 lety +1

      Good comment on the battery, as far as the plug torque we like to see them snug but not over tightened. or 18 N.m (13 ft. lbs.)

    Is this a good choice for a torque wrench? LEXIVON 3/8-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench 10~80 Ft-Lb/13.6~108.5 Nm (sold through Amazon)

    So if doing the 100K service change for plugs do you need to change the coils if they are still working ? at 220K, they were last changed around 135K, still cranks and runs fine when up to speed, just getting where it takes a while to climb hills, or get to top speed. Don't like to try to over push it, and tear something up. Dealer has been saying I need to do their $900.00 service package due to the miles. Over the last 4 oil changes they have found something between $350.00 to $850 than needed replacing.

    • @rokitman5753

      Do not change coils unless they have failed

    My 2005 Element will not start, I have checked the fuel pump and it seems to be running when i turn the key.
    If the ignition coil is defective will i still be able to see a spark on the plugs?
    and if the spark plug is defective can i still see a slight spark?

    • @MrHurricaneFloyd
      @MrHurricaneFloyd Před 7 lety +1

      The Element has 4 separate ignition coils, one on each plug. One of them going bad will cause a misfire but will NOT stop it from starting entirely. Look elsewhere. Check for codes to start with.

    Do you have to check the gap first? Which plugs do you recommend for the element? Thx

    • @2carpros
      @2carpros  Před 8 lety +3

      We bought the pre gaped plugs. We bought NGK Spark Plugs for this I believe.

    Nice but you could have told us what the gap should be and the torque spec.

    • @pnwesterner6220

      You don't set the gap very often these days, it comes pre-gapped.

      +Roy Pones Oh, ok. Thanks. BTW, in the video they say to tighten the plugs to the specs in the service manual. I don't have one, and so far a google search hasn't helped. Do you happen to know where it would be listed? Thanks again

    • @2carpros
      @2carpros  Před 8 lety +2

      +Hugh Janus (El Infidel) KFFK A general rule of thumb, snug is good, but don't over tighten.
