Great video. I will share some knowledge that has been passed from my father who was a mechanic for over 50 years. Which ever cylinder has water in it remove that plug only and start the car and within seconds the pressure will shoot out all the water. Repeat with the remaining plugs if necessary.
Thank you, haven’t done it yet but looking forward to going to Walmart and solving my problem. I just knew it had to be good because you started by giving God all the glory!!!
Ran into the same problem when changing my coil this morning..searched on youtube! Boooom! First video you pop up.. problem solved. Thanks so much for sharing this. God Bless You and your Family.
Thank you very much for your tips. It works for me. My car's engine is running fine now, no more misfiring. The water ran down and get trapped inside the spark plug wells after washing/ cleaning the engine bay and under the hood by using the garden hose. David, Thanks again.
This video is still relevant 5 years later. Just had the same issue where i washed down my engine. Changing valve cover gasket and plugs and ran into the same issue with water somehow got into all my plugs! You are a life saver because i kept looking to find how i can resolve this issue. I will let you know the outcome, heading to walmart right now.
Thanks for the tip. 👍🏻👍🏻 I went to Lowe’s and bought a long clear rubber tube and I just siphoned it out. you can remove a lot more water quicker that way. but it was your idea that gave me my idea!
Thank you very much I found I have that issue after a fresh engine build , because I wasn't able to get the motor all the way bolted back to the transmission I do believe your video help
I had this problem before, in my Ford Van, and I just use a 'Long Flathead Screwdriver' and a Clean Cloth. You need to wrap the clean cloth around the tip of the Flathead screwdriver and stick it into the Spark Plug hole to soak up all the water/oil/fluids. This cloth method works so much better, you'll be able to get out more fluids.. plus you get to wipe the walls of the hole completely dry too. Good luck everyone
Thanks bro! Thank GOD for real because I had this problem in one spark plug well and used something that helped but got stuck.... something else I had to fix🤣🤧 but thanks for the great video!💪🏿🙏🏾
Great thing about these type of videos, collaboration. People get on commenting with other good ideas. Didn’t know if I took out the spark plug that’s misfiring and start the car that the pressure will shoot the water out itself. Get some paper towels to catch and soak up that water you should be good to go. Definitely trying this but in harbor freight they sell a hand pump. Similar to an air pump with 2 hoses that will extract water quicker than this method anyway. Good video though. Wish more people came together to solve issues.
I just solved this problem on my 2009 Lincoln Towncar 4.6L engine again. This is normally coolant that is leaking into the spark plug holes if you did not recently wash your engine. It is a known problem with Ford's 4.6L engine and involves leaks from the intake manifold usually near the thermostat housing that will run along the side of the engine and into the spark plug holes, usually #8. Water normally will not go past the spark plug, only in the spark plug hole that prevents the coil pack from giving a consistent spark to the plug which results in an intermittent misfire. It can take a while for the water to build up enough to cause a problem and it will most likely happen again. I use a blowgun with my compressor. I'm not sure replacing the intake manifold gasket will solve the problem permanently. Water or oil that gets past the spark poses a more serious problem.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm removing my intake manifold to access my dipstick tube hole which seems to be blocked. In doing that job, I removed the ignition coils and found the water. So kept moving along and removed the fuel rail and see that I need to replace all 8 fuel injectors. One problem just leads to another. ... I hope the source of the water in the coil issue is as you describe since I already decided i'd change the manifold gaskets. I'll add for anyone else that each coil has an oring that should keep water out of the hole. All of mine seem old and loose. I will try replacing them before replacing the coils.
Very true about the 4.6L Ford engine and water entering the #8 spark plug hole. Even after replacing the intake manifold, you can still get water leaking in that number 8 spark plug hole. I usually blow out the water as much as possible before removing the spark plug itself. Water entering the cylinder itself can cause the engine to not start. If enough water enters the piston cylinder itself, it can result in the engine not starting at all. If water is on top of the piston in the closed environment, the piston cannot move and none of the other pistons will move either. You cannot compress water, so the piston cannot move. This no-start happened to a friend and he thought he needed a new engine. Removing the spark plug and then cranking the engine will cause the water in the cylinder to shoot out of the spark plug hole where the water is. Normally, water will not go past the spark plug into the cylinder though.
Very good, also use a tee shirt and a screw driver and push the tee shirt down in the spark plug hole. That will ensure that all wetness is dried up. I discovered this just recent

Thanks for that. Really helpful indo. Your camera man waa great too. I had the same problem with my 04 Ford e350 super duty box truck 5.4 liter and I after removing the water with tissue if I remember my mechanic to me to use gaa treatment to get the remaining out of my intake. It was misfiring and running rough after again. I continue the gas treatment for a month and still runs rough at 3rd gear I think. So I just said forget it and continue to drive it and ignore it. My mechanic said my motor is bad but like you said Ford tough. My truck is still holding up and pulling loads and running strong.
I was getting ready to drain the water from the motor and get the water out the pistons and this video gave me 1 other thing to look for ALL Praises Due to GOD ALMIGHTY for this 1 last tip befor i get my hands dirty.
Simply remove the spark plug and turn the car . The water will get out of the cilinder . It works with me and saw in the comments no need of buying any tool at Walmart
Thanks for the tip I have one of those in my tool drawer I was thinking of what can I use to suck the water out of the spark plug holes of my Chevy van cuz I drove and some water thinking I can get through and the second time I tried it didn't work the vehicle started up after that but still water in the Pistons causing the vehicle not to start so thanks again.....
I used compressed air with a piece of rubber tubing on the end of the air blow gun. Just keep your face away from the hole when you shoot air into it, it dries it 100%
give thank mi genna! same ting happen to me likkle while ago; instead of wata, a coolant leak mi did have and is that did get inna di spark plug chambers (3&4 next to di hose weh buss)
Well for one thing the balls in the tester will not float in just water and when you pulled the first bit of water out of the plug hole at 4:17 all five balls floated to the top so might need to check for antifreeze leaking into the plug hole . I have the same tester and just did the just water test and all five balls went to the bottom.
Maybe get the engine up to temp then remove the coils and let the past bit evaporate through the heat of the block? I had the same problem. This would have been a far less expensive way to deal with it.
Please help I have my spark plug out of the hole for a couple of weeks so I could clean it off when I get a chance and now there are bugs and water inside of my spark plug hole. What do I do?
One of the comment that I saw was you can start the car and you can start the car let the compression blow it out whichever hold that has the bulgar the water in there so I've not tried it but that was something I read
will not work. i tried. the small suction thingy works best. but use shop vac to clean around plug first. you dobt want dirt or dust going into engine.
May I ask, does the coil being wet makes the car shakes alot ? And the engine check kepts blinking when I start the car, power does not run as usual, I was wondering if water goes into the Blower does it go to the sparkplug coil?
That is possible. Take it to Auto Zone. They will check you engine light and tell you which coil is bad. You can try a dry spray. It should help to dry out the water from to coil. Make sure there are no water in the spark plug hole.
Hello MR David my 2012 Acura Tsx yesterday was a big flood and the water sank my car but now it's dry how can I restart my car any help would be appreciated, please?
So to be clear everyone. This water wasn’t in the cylinder. The plugs were still in the engine, this is just water trapped in the plug tube, only thing holding it back was the threads on the plug. He would’ve had a destroyed engine if this was in the cylinder. Air gun would’ve been quick and easy.
That's is true. I found out, if you scene them down tight. That should keep the water out. I just change 8 of them that I service over 2 years ago and they were all dry.
Buy two of those things take off the hose from one and tape it to the other and that should work. When you finish pulling out the water. Use a long screw driver with a dry cloth. Wrap it around the tip of the screw driver and push it down the hole to dry out any extra water in there. That should work
Troy Nall no you hold a towel over the spark plug well so the fluid is absorbed into the towel and the air simply escapes around the towel, it works quite well and keeps things tidy. Try it...

Took the cool out but not the plugs

Thank You..
Thank you. May I know how often do you do this to your car?
Unfortunately, sometimes water finds its way into the plug hole.
If you get a misfire for your cool.
That may be your problem.
@ Oswaldo Moros you should do this every oil change. Otherwise too much water builds up and damages your engine.
So to be clear everyone. This water wasn’t in the cylinder. The plugs were still in the engine, this is just water trapped in the plug tube, only thing holding it back was the threads on the plug. He would’ve had a destroyed engine if this was in the cylinder. Air gun would’ve been quick and easy.
Yes, the plug holding back the water from going into the cylinder
Did you need a spark plug spanner to remove plugs ?
Just saw your text. You do not need to remove the plugs
Thank you
Did you do this where the coil packs sits in or the spark plug?
It should be able to do with any plug holes

Do you need to remove the spark plugs when sucking the water?
I would say keep it in because if you remove the spark plug the water will get get to the cylinder

use the baby nose suckers too, don't ever wash your engine bay out. thats a no no. its an engine. not a pair of shoes
Thank you
thats a good idea. baby nose sucker and a some tubing !!! thanks dave !!!
Problem is it will happen again. Water going down windshield drops on coil. Just make sure you have the 4.6L. 4.0L are junk.
That's is true.
I found out, if you scene them down tight. That should keep the water out.
I just change 8 of them that I service over 2 years ago and they were all dry.
Hi good morning,may I know the exact part number or it’s name plz,thanks
Look in the automotive section.
Look where they have the antifreeze parts.
I got it from Ask Mart
Good video but this want work with a 98 mustang. The hole is too deep.
Buy two of those things take off the hose from one and tape it to the other and that should work.
When you finish pulling out the water. Use a long screw driver with a dry cloth.
Wrap it around the tip of the screw driver and push it down the hole to dry out any extra water in there. That should work
This happen to my Lincoln ls
maybe that was gas and not water?
2 ford focus' here one is letting rain water into the plug area and one is leaking water out the bottom fuckin ford
Why would the water evaporate with the heat from the engine?

I have this problem in my 1997 grand marquis. I think it’s bc my engine about to let go.
If your check engine light is on. Do a test at Auto Zone for free
compressed air with a pistol nozzle will blow out the water instantly
and most prob in your eyes.
Troy Nall no you hold a towel over the spark plug well so the fluid is absorbed into the towel and the air simply escapes around the towel, it works quite well and keeps things tidy. Try it...
Troy Nall works with oil too not just water...
