I wish I could stop by you and I'll pay what you wish to help do my maintenance on my 2014 Fusion Hybrid, because I love the Fusion, and most of the shops and dealerships near me are not trustworthy , my Fusion just turned 100k
Great video! I was looking for a video to see if I could justify being lazy and having the dealership change the plugs on my 14 2.0, but after watching this, I don't think I can lol. I usually just put a dab of anti-seize on the plug and let it get spread by the screwing in of the plug. Less chance of making a mess and it coats the plug evenly. I also like to put a dab of dielectric grease into the boot. Keeps the boot from sticking and helps seal out any moisture that might get in there.
Do yourself a favor and buy a proper set of feeler gauges to measure plug gap.... anything but that pot metal thing... Plugs could be cleaned, gapped, and run another 100k miles. But I change 'em too. I do keep the last good pull-offs as backups. Do yourself another favor and invest in the Motorcraft Nickel-based antiseize. One can lasts a life and it's the best I've ever had for high-temp.
Thanks for the video. Just changed plugs on my 2913 2.0, with 98,000 miles. Plugs looked like the one you took out but some of the electrode was definitely worn away. It does idle smoother now. Didn’t use anti seize. Hopefully will get another 98,000 miles. Then it will be new car time anyway.
Thanks pal. I got a 2014 Se 2.0 and will be doing plugs soon. Purge valve went on me too. Was a bitch to start after getting gas. All fixed now. I also replaced the rims to black steel 17 inch rims. More rubber on tires and cheaper rim replacement. I run mobile 1 fully synthetic and oil filter too. I also have a 2012 fusion S with the 2.5 engine with 151k on it. Original engine and transmission. I did idle pulley, tensioner, and belt. Steering column went on me. But that's really it. I just did radiator flush and runs alot smoother. Fusion's are tanks and long as u maintain them.
Anyone who has a full and clear understanding of oils, will tell you that full synthetic is not better than semi synthetic oil. And it costs more. I know multiple ford mechanics who have told me to only use semi synthetic.
I had a client that refused my suggestions & services on his 2015 Fusion, to replace with the timing belt kit. So he took it to cheap shop to replaced 4 spark plugs for $155.00. And 16,000 late the engine is shot. Just over 125K, check engine light, oil was empty and dried & the timing belt snapped.
Hey thanks for helping us with ur videos 💛 Do u know where's the the spark plugs rubber gasket at? My friend has an oil leak on his fusion 2014 spark plug, and I'm looking for the spark gasket's location to let him know whether it needs taking off parts by a mechanic or he can DIY Thanks man really appreciate it
@@ThezNutzGarage I just did my daughters car and didn't use any. In the past I always did. If it doesn't hurt anything I guess there is nothing to lose.
So I just bought a 15 fusion titanium and I bought some spark plugs exactly like this one in the video, just different Id number and I was wondering what the gap should be cause I here it should be at .50”, .51”, and now .30”. Which one is it
You can call the parts store and ask them what that gap is on the plugs. It’s been a while since I made the video and I don’t remember what the gap is on the plugs.
You are lucky you don't have oil flooded on spark plugs. 120K: removed the valve cover 1. valve cover gaskets 2. inlet tubing gaskets 3. 4 coils 4. 4 spark plugs 5. thermostat & gasket 6. coolant flushed & added 7. pcv 8. oil/oil filter 9. transmission fluid drained & added x. air filter, belt & timing belt kit You will scream when you got to replace the front & rear Crankshaft seals. And pray your oil pump is good. But the lousy seal/gasket are worn & cracks= leaks
Hello, How many miles the car's giving you in the city? I have one and is doing very poor around 16 mpg in city. Any suggestions. I see your videos when I need to change something I'm in my car, Thanks
@@ThezNutzGarage FWIW I am a fan of using neversieze on a lot of bolts on cars and motorcycles. However an engine builder and tuner stated to me that the neversieze on ignition spark plug threads, can cause a small but still a loss ,electrically speaking, compared to a clean plug to head grounding for the plug to the cylinder head. I've always wanted to know if it's really a scientific/electrical fact though. I never noticed a difference in how the engine ran with/without neversiese on plug threads.

I can’t remember if I did either of those. Lol. Your are correct on both.

I do believe I will. Those ring thingies always make me feel like they are not correct.
My wife decided to have this done. The shop charged her 238.00 in labor......I lost my mind.

Very helpful….. thank you….. service stations charge $275 to change these plugs.
You're welcome!

$155 for four plugs? Wow.
Hardest part of the whole thing is getting that crappy plastic cover back on😂
with my luck..I'd break the cover pulling it off..lol..great video..thank you..doing mine soon..
Thanks for your comment and good luck.

Aren't the coated threads seize proof already? There is a lot of back and forth on whether you need anti- seize or not.
marisdad2412 i always put anti seize on my spark plugs. Better safe than sorry I guess.
@@ThezNutzGarage I just did my daughters car and didn't use any. In the past I always did. If it doesn't hurt anything I guess there is nothing to lose.
Yeah and they are 100,000 mikes spark plugs. You may trade it off before they go bad.
So I just bought a 15 fusion titanium and I bought some spark plugs exactly like this one in the video, just different Id number and I was wondering what the gap should be cause I here it should be at .50”, .51”, and now .30”. Which one is it

@@ThezNutzGarage I actually did figured it out but thanks for trying
10 thumbs up!
I have a 2014 2.5 se. Where is the PCV Valve???
And I'm bout to go pay for this. After watching this, I don't even want to😒 Looks too easy.
Yeah it’s not to hard but you have to be careful righting down the plugs. You don’t want to strip them out.
The gap is .32
Thank you.
You are lucky you don't have oil flooded on spark plugs.
120K: removed the valve cover
1. valve cover gaskets
2. inlet tubing gaskets
3. 4 coils
4. 4 spark plugs
5. thermostat & gasket
6. coolant flushed & added
7. pcv
8. oil/oil filter
9. transmission fluid drained & added
x. air filter, belt & timing belt kit
You will scream when you got to replace the front & rear Crankshaft seals.

I had a leaky banjo bolt but that was it.
Hi I just hit over hundred thousand miles do You think I need a transmission flush my car use to be a rental I’m making payments
george That’s me
I have heard that it needs to be done every 30,000 miles.
I will do my car every 30,000 miles from now on.
Thez Nutz Garage oh ok cause I also heard that it could mess your car up but I have no idea but then some one said it won’t
Hello,
How many miles the car's giving you in the city?
I have one and is doing very poor around 16 mpg in city.
Any suggestions.
I see your videos when I need to change something I'm in my car,
Thanks
Any check engine engine lights on?
How many miles are on the car?
My car get around 22/23 in the city
Having this problem with my 2020 2.0 awd , I don’t understand why I’m getting 15 mpg & the car is at 70k miles , check engine lights nothing
Hi,Could you advise Serial Number or type of plugs for fusion 1,5 turbo 2014 year. Thanks a lot
RTFM
I need ignition coil and spark plug vid P0303
J Smith are you talking about the ignition coil? Each spark plug has its own coil. I show these in this video.
J Smith several options on carid.
www.carid.com/2014-ford-fusion-ignition-systems/
I thinks so🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂the check engine code says replace ignition coil and spark plug...Cylinder 3 misfire detected
Ok it sounds like you have a bad plug or coil pack. Do you have an eco boost engine?
Join my FB group and I can share pictures of the parts.

You can't use autolites in New fords. Always came back me with misfires. Older fords--yes
it don't take but a dab of that never sieze. you applied too much.
I probably did. Like the sour cream commercial says “a little dab will do” lol.
