What if we didnât put them in order and donât remember which one goes where
Great video, one thing that should be added as precaution is to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on anything electrical. Great job 1a, keep up the informative videos
How do you do this ?
Not necessary here.
Hell yeah!! My local shop is trying to charge me 947 dollars for a tune up and to change my mass air flow sensor. I just changed the sensor myself for 22 bucks and now Iâm gonna buy plugs and coils for 100âbucks. Thanks CZcams
Winning!
Yea same hear i started looking into it bought some tools looked it up and bam! 75% less
That's crazy how much shops charge for this easy job
@Jimmy where you find em at that price? I just paid $109.76 for the plugs the other day
What baffles me is how crazy simple it is for most maintenance installs
Thank you for doing these 4th gen Altima videos. Mine is at 200k miles and Iâve been using these videos for maintenance
Iâm at 100,000. Any advice for how you kept yours running for so long? Iâve been changing the oil religiously and changing the transmission fluid every 40,000 miles.
@@Jsart87 mines at 208. Never do any maintenance lol. Finally stopped running on me today but Iâm hoping new spark plugs will work
same here mine is at 210 I used his video to do the fuel filter
Nice
I don't usually comment. But I'm 24 trying to do all this stuff alone and the way you Sir speak through the video making it okay if we need extra help and adding tips to make it easier. Thank you for helping me fix my own car and feel better about myself all at the same time. â€â€â€
Dude, you're saving me so much money on minor fixes, thank you !!!
I have learned so much about cars via these videos and now I do my own work thanks
Hi ..you might wanna mention that "regular 5/8 spark plugs socket" won't fit in the cilinder and you need to get a skinnier one to fit all the way to the bottom
Thank you for specifying this
@@andrewgonzales3072 I was going to mention this as well. It's a 14mm spark plug socket that's needed.
That's the only reason I was on this video.
Ugh I should have read this comment before starting. Now I have to wait another day for the 14mm socket to come. Thanks for the info though!
@@NWPencrawler for nissan 2006 2.5 engine? you need 14mm???
I really wish I would have come here first before I got my sparkplugs changed at Midas. I could have saved myself about $100.00! I will be trying to do my own repairs from now on thanks to you all!
What if I donât have that torque wrench?
Worked like a charm! You guys saved me 400 bucks!
What size socket for it?
I appreciate your instructional video. I removed the coils and 2 of 4 were filled with motor oil! The engine was badly overheated recently. What do you think we are seeing?
I had the same issue my coworker said the seal was broken it might be the engin cover like the top part of it youâll have to replace it with a new one the part is cheap itâs just the labor honestly unless youâre able to do it yourself
Thanks for telling us what size the spark plug wrench isn't.
14mm
Best videos for minor auto repair, online. Thanks.
+Apostasia ElegchĆ Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thank you! Very informative. However you suggest that the coils themselves are numbered, rather than just the coil wires... is that accurate? I don't seem to see any numbering on my replacement coils. Thanks again! *ANYONE on coils themselves needing to be in a certain order?
UPDATE: I put in new plugs and coils on a 2007 Altima Hybrid- it does NOT matter which order the coils go in- only that the coil wires stay in proper order. I mixed my coils around as an experiment and they work fine any order you put them. Cheers and thanks again for the video!
@@magnanimousmatt6425 I was thinking the exact thing.. why do they need to be in any order if the coils are electronically activated lol
The only reason the order matters, is if you have stored misfire codes. This will help isolate which coil is bad.
This was so easy to follow. Thanks!
+Vanessa bb Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great work and lighting.
Huge thanks !
+Rick of ashadowman Music Thank you for your feedback! We are happy we could help.
I had a hard time getting mine out even with correct spark plug with swivel extension after I got them out threads and everything was fine but I put antisize on new plugs
Thank you! Very constructive. I like that you were Concise and to the point.
Saved my money! Thank you for the knowledge
Glen your a darn good guy you know that!
How often should I change my OEM spark plugs on a 2009 Altima 2.5? at 100K miles? or earlier? They were changed at 117K and now I am at 179K. The Nissan dealership did the work. So I assume they are Iridium, but not sure. I bought the car used.
Great video. I have a question. If there is color line in a electrical connection for othet parts of a car do they need to be replaced as well or it just for the spark plugs?
No offense intended bro but, this is the second video I've seen and no one is telling the people to check the gap on the spark plug because, 75% of new spark plugs are not gapped correctly. Good video though! Kudos.
@Neil Williams you'd be correct if you were going with some random brand for the sparkplug. But the OEM already pregapped
What is the special spark plug wrench?
Spark plug socket for your model car
Its a ares need 1/2 swivel spark plug socket sold on Amazon
Appreciate the vid! Just here to educate myself and save money lol
Thanks
Great video young man. Keep going!!!
+Dwayne Watson Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Good video. Kinda suprised you didn't use any anti-seize on the spark plug threads before installing though. Especially since you did use dielectric grease for the seal and boot tip. Also, the spark plugs are smaller than your average plug at 14mm which should have been mentioned as well.
Came in clutch with the smaller plug size, I was wondering why the 5/8 wasn't working đ€
What size is the spark plug socket
If you replace the "the coils" does it matter the order. Aren't they all the same?
Doesn't matter.
If you replace the ignition coil do they have to go in order when you put them in or it doesn't matter?
Doesn't matter if it's a new part.
Excellent video!!
Thanks đ
I just told myself instead of paying $218 Iâll pay around 37 and wonât have to go nowhere far to do it đđŸââïž
Wat kind should i get on amazon for the ignition coil????
What is the name of the instrument that beeped when you were twisting the spark plugs back in?
A torque wrench
Harbor freight sells the perfect one for 22 dollars. Itâs the 3/8 click type torque wrench. Worked perfect for torquing the spark plugs to 14ft lbs. To make the job easier get a wrench extension and a deep socket magnetic socket. The correct size is 9/16 or 14mm.
Whatâs the thing that beeps to make sure the spark plugs are in correctly?
Are you talking about the orange wrench with the lights? If so, it is a torque wrench that lets you know when to stop tightening. Hope that is what you were asking about.
It is a torque wrench. That is a fancy electronic one. You can also get a regular one that just clicks when you've applied the right amount of torque.
I put torque on 15ft pound is still should be ok?
+Henry Kim The instructions show to torque the spark plug to 14 ft-lb
One thing should be mentioned be careful jetting air down the tube as not to damage the spark plug tool seals on the valve cover they are very fragile
Whatâs the size of the spark plug socket used to purchase at 1A auto ?
+Oscar Rodriguez The spark plug socket size for these vehicles should be 16 MM, we would suggest confirming by checking your owner's manual. 1aauto.com
Itâs a 14 MM. NOT a 16
Thanks, I have oily threads
Great video!
+k1llzOn381 Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Could you do a video on how to replace the left side fender
We're always cycling through cars filming hundreds of common repairs for common vehicles every month. We'll add this to our list of repairs to film. Check back again and hopefully we'll have it soon. +ITS JAYVEN
1A Auto Parts ok thanks
great video and easy to follow until the end... how exactly did you get the plugs out? I was able to unscrew them using some tools. but they don't come out how they did in the video. I don't have anything that go in and grab them so i can pull them out.
You need spark plug sockets not normal ones
I can't remove the spark plug đ
The socket doesn't hold to the spark plug as if it was too big or as if it was too short to reach it.
It's a 16mm.
Nissan should make the same head for the versa.
No spark plug gapping?
+Be E No, there will be no gapping.
Will it be fine if I donât use a torque wrench ?
+Angel Gonzalez You just want to be careful to not overtighten them. We highly recommend you torque them to spec to avoid issues when removing them in the future.
When should I do this,and what are the symtoms?
songbird372 P engine miss fires, or runs rough at idle
Put neversize on threads
Next time crank the car to make sure its running properly? And you don't have any emmision misfires.. That the check engine light is off.. Otherwise great vid!
+DemiGod_FGC Thanks for the feedback!
question, is their a reason why i dont see the battery connected? was that removed on purpose for safety reasons or something?
Just disconnect the negative terminal, if you want to be extra safe.
+Airic Thanks for watching! You do not have to disconnect the battery to perform this repair, but it will not affect anything if you do!
What size tool did you use?
14mm
i can open with any box spaneer
What is the name of this tool 07:30 please?
+Fishing Exchange Thanks for watching! That is a torque wrench. We actually carry one that would be good for the job! Please check out this link: www.1aauto.com/torque-wrench-performance-tool/i/1axaa00045
2010 Nissan..followed all the steps and now car won't turn on. Put the old ones back just to see if the gapping was off and still not running.
Still having that problem?
You cant just put in any spark plug or ignition coil you fancy. They need to be suited for the engine of the particular car.
$947 for a 4 cylinder what a rip 2 labor hours tops plus parts the mass sensor on top of air filter box $140 2 hrs labor $280 part 4 plugs $40 sensor $$100 = $240 plus 10% tax = $264 imagine if you lack the knowledge to do the work or even whether youâre being ripped I dislike unscrupulous repair shops if you treat people fair youâll loyal customers will be free advertising word of mouth of incredible in a business that is fair & honest when I donât do my own repairs I use shop like described 1 I can send my to without having to worry About her getting ripped off the shop is closed on Saturday & Sunday holidays that show me they care about their employees so they may spend quality time with their families they make enough money during week are not greedy cause they have plenty of business during the week are not driven by greed
I only watch this to find out the gap and there was no mention. Ohhh google
Dude talking about charging me $200 something like for a 30 min job just charge me $50 I work all the time some sometimes can't get to things myself but I may just do this myself
Now do a video on how to extract a broken spark plug đĄ
