I've used You tube for a lot of repairs, I've changed the manifold on our mountaineer w you tube. I thought the spark plug replacement on my 06 zephyr would be too much, got two ridiculous quotes, I can do this. Folks, thank you so much. You are good people and you are a great trainer. Thank you Thank you One suggestion, if you are going to do this, maybe consider going ahead and changing out those back coil packs, if the car has over 100K...... God bless you good people...

Hi, why just change the back coil packs? Why not all the coil packs?

Just bought the parts to do the 100K service on my 2006 Lincoln Zephyr over Xmas break. This video popped up on my KZread feed. Early Xmas present. Quality video. Thank you!

An absolute lifesaver for this DIY Fusion owner-- Thanks So Much!

Thanks for the video!! My car had 143,400 miles on it . First time changing the plugs. You made it easy for me. Was not as bad as I thought it would be. Took about 2 hrs. You did a great job showing how to do it.

Greetings from Mexico City. I saw your video and I think instructive as it has been a martyrdom reach the three spark plugs in the rear. I have a 2006 ford fusion and this video shows the quality of the expert. Greetings again.

You're welcome. I'm glad it's helpful/empowering for you- that's the whole idea behind what/why I do this.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Was worried about having to do this and what was involved. All went great and I saved a lot of money doing it myself. Now I don't have to worry about it for a while. Thank you !!!

Excelent video. I also installed 6 new gaskets, just for my pace of mind. Thank you.

First off sick hat! Representing for the mullisha! Second great video very detailed! Thank bro much respect. I'll search for your videos only as I really appreciate the way you explain everything

Completed this on my Zephyr today, this vid did made it is. Thank you again..... Had two quotes, one replacing the coils on the back cylinders (according to the mechanic, might as well change them out while we have the plenum off) 650.00. Another just changing the plugs, 250.00. This cost me 45.00. Do the math... Bought a 90 degree set of pliers, that really helped. Again, THANK YOU..

You just saved me a ton of cash. I do all my own work on my mustang and my fiesta. A lil tune up like this shouldn’t be too hard. Just a few extra steps. But for a guy like me, no problem. Thanks again

Why thanks! I just happen to have an alert sound every time I get a new youtube video and I am always stoked to see they are yours.

Getting ready to do a tune up on an 06 for a friend. Thanks so much this video was awesome

I have a Craftsman cordless impact that I bought primarily for doing framing and wood work. But I have to agree with your statement, I love mine also. i use it for lots of automotive repairs. It's quiet, with a lithium battery it can easily do multiple jobs without having to recharge, and it is also very fast. Thanks for another great video.

Thanks for the video. Lots of good tips and I love your attitude about doing the little things to help insure a well done job.

I can't count how many times I've left screwdrivers and extensions on the windshield wiper linkage cover. Good thing I only work on my on vehicles. Your videos are always cool to watch.

Thank you so much for this. I had to get my PCM repaired and all coils/plugs changed. I did the installation myself...2 hrs later I was back on the road. Easy peasy!! :-)

Marla Marie I just did the same thing on my 08' Fusion. saved myself from a $1900 bill from Ford.

Thanks for the video you made my life easier I've never change fwd spark plugs before

I forgot to praise Ford for resisting the urge to use "idiot hoods" or "false hoods" on this application. I was impressed!

Excellant video! thanks so much for the full info on doing this. Saved me a ton of time.

After my mechanic showed no interest of doing a tuneup on my 2006 V6 Fusion I took the challenge and did it myself in 3 hrs taking my time work. My car now runs like a clock and it's rendering 10.7l/100km (hyw) compared to 12.7l/100km before the tuneup. Thanks for your help mate, I do appreciate it.

We were talking about you as we posted this video! lol Always impressive that you can be FIRST as often as you are. Way to go!

Awesome details... Id take all my vehicles to this dude. Great details.

i am having this done tomorrow and i hope they know to do all of this. I have a v6 2006 Ford Fusion and it has the same spark plugs it had once it came from the manufacturer, Oh yes i am so ashamed. It would be nice to have you in Albany, Georgia. Very educated and knowledgeable. I just got a throttle body replaced and upper hose at 562.00.

Yes. On some more than others. On Japanese cars I've found it makes a great difference in cornering stability.

Good info with very thorough explanations. Good job sir

I wish you were my mechanic. Awesome tutorial I'm at 150k on my fusion 3.0L with no idea if the plugs were changed at 100k as was supposed to have been done. I am considering doing this but most of my experience is with cars from the 90s and earlier. Luckily KZread exists for this kinda of thing. This job does look like a total PITA. Thanks for the detailed instructions!

Welcome man!

Thks a million! Keep the great vids coming.

Thanks Brian -always enjoy watching your video's.

I've owned 6 Fords , 3 Fiats, 1 Chevrolet, 1AMC (Gremlin) 2 Plymouths , 1 Buick...they all have crap features. It seems as though they were all designed by Auto Parts salesmen and Service managers. Out of all of them, I liked my 1981 F-150 pickup the most. I drove it for 13 years. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

Chevy is consistent and they find something that works and they produce the hell out of it and people love it. They tend to produce a quality product when they have the finances to do so and the market is appropriate for moving a quality product. Chrysler sells on flash and numbers. You can have a Chrysler that is gorgeous and geometrically poetic in weight distribution and the top #'s in class for torque and HP, but come in last place in a real world test and depreciate fast due to failures.

Woow thanks for putting it back together

Hey Brian, I've got a 2006 Fusion V6 and it needs to have the spark plugs changed soon. This video will definitely be used as a reference when I get around to doing it. Thanks!

This is true. Emissions info is reset as well. Leaving the battery hooked up CAN have it's advantages.

Now that's a good video! Great job guys.

Your cool Brain. All my best. Good video like all your videos. John From N.E. Ohio

Great video...very helpful.....and yes...the Zeppelin shirt rocks..!!

Right on- thanks!

I did! THANK YOU!

Thank you very much!

nice video, thanks for taken the time doing it, good info.

good looking Brian.bless

You are a life saver!!1 Thank you so much!!!

Definitely.

Thank you. This helped out a lot.

LOVE the ZEPPELIN shirt!!!! :)

Thanks for the awesome video.

That's pretty good. Mine will do the same.

Thank you for this. This will actually help me with my 2010 Milan. It too is constructed the same exact way as this.

I have you to thank for some of that I'm sure- thank you!

I'll do more of that. People seem to like that. : )

Great Video!

I hear you.

lol! I'm not too worried about being liked. I've learned to love myself a long time ago. I always have a friend in me! Once you love yourself just fine- it's a lot easier to love everyone else too.

friend good afternoon , I'm from Brazil and I have a fusion v6 2010 model year 2 generation and was eager to change the spark plugs of the ship, and seeing you make the trade will now be able to perform alone , thanks for the video.

Welcome buddy!

I did one of those for free for a local family with a disabled daughter. I do the back three from underneath. You have to wait for it to cool down because you'll be working around the catalytic converter, but it's really not that bad.

Thanks for the video.

Brain, since I have been watching your videos it became obvious that you are extremely knowledgeable about cars so I had a question.... Is there all that much benefit to adding a strut tower bar/brace to a vehicle?

It's pretty similar, but even the Taurus can vary by what month it was built in.

If the boots aren't bad due to being cooked, rust enfused, or etc. I just dielectric grease them and continue the legacy. Glad that worked out for you!

Thank you sir!!!

run it with water and a coolant detergent till it's hot and then drain and re fill the radiator AND the block drain plug.

Have you ever done valve cover gaskets on this? Got the front done but am having some trouble with the power steering reservoir on the rear.

I like to swim and or lift weights in the evenings a couple- three times a week.

I do have to say that doing tune up is piece of cake on corresponding J-series Honda V6 engine. Apart from taking off beauty covers (less 30 seconds), nothing else needs to come off to access coil and plugs. On the other hand, if you need to do EGR passageway cleanup and take off the intake plenum on that Honda, it is more work but still little easier than this job.

Sweet!

Interesting insight. I once owned a Ford Aspire- LOVED IT! but it was cheaply made... by Kia. I bought it for $500 and drove it while the police tried to find my stolen Honda. I wanted to by the new Fiesta because of the Ken Block factor, but stopped myself in sticker shock.

Hey Brian, my coil pack died, and I was looking for a video. Now I'll change the coils and plugs. 🤘 Thanks! Hope it's not the PCM...

one of my coils died and it damaged the pcm. had to send in to Circuit Board Medics to get it repaired before I changed the coils. Fairly simple job to do. PCM is located under the battery tray.

Ronie Ochoa 2007. It was the PCM. My mechanic found me a used one, and his buddy that works for Ford brought his laptop with the mapping software, and recoded my fob keys. $400... I gladly paid. Ford wanted $1500 If I remember correctly...

Mister Wirez I paid $299 for Circuit Board Medics to fix my PCM. I also found a deal on eBay for 6 new Motor Craft plugs and 6 ADP Coil Packs all for $125. good thing about getting it repaired is that there is no programming.

I have the new 20V. I also have an 18 volt.

I like mustangs, crown vics and most of the trucks fine. The Taurus and variations of it aren't much fun to work with once they need the work.

Great video, quick question (maybe a stupid question), the EGR valve is connected to a mount that attaches to the manifold, what is that mount called? I have a leak coming from that mount, if anyone knows the part # really appreciate it... thanks

You got right.

thanks!

They say that because people inevitably use way to much and then over torque due to the lubrication and strip the head out or do other damage. The irony in that to me is the damage and stripped heads that are as likely to happen from NOT using it. I've used it for decades incident free and I find my customers won't go anywhere else so I wind up doing myself and them a favor by using it.

Yu are a good mechanic I watch a lot of people on here work on cars Yu are bye fare the best so far I see thumbs up I'm a back yard mechanic an I hate Subarus lol I work on ford an Chevy an Dodge no turd China junks allowed in my garage lol keep up the good work

FIRST! I and Spanky are #1!!! Brian is Mr Awesome!

yes please ;)

The philosophy with Ford is to make a car affordable and try to add all the bells and whistles you possible can without increasing it's cost above what a company budgets for a fleet vehicle or a low to mid income home can afford. Adding complexity without the budget for doing it right has some pretty obvious outcomes. I've seen Ford Explorer Limited editions with more than 80 buttons within reach of the drivers seat. Even the visor had buttons all over it.

Do I see the DeWalt 12V Max 3/8 Impact Wrench there? Best inventions since sliced bread!!

What would you, as a mechanic, buy for a newer vehicle? I have an 05 Silverado and love it, but it's starting to get miled out unfortunately.

I paid less than $150 with three batteries for that little gem! On a full battery, if you have the guts, it will take off a lug nut off a Honda! Every mechanic and a DIY should own one.

cool video thank you. It is probably way easier on my accent because it is just a 4 cylander and I don't have to get to the back plugs like a six.

Do it matter which wires you put in for the spark plug ? Cause i think i mess up and put them in the wrong place now my check engine light is on

I am doing the front brakes on my mom's 2010 chevrolet malibu 3.9 I was wondering if you knew which side the pads with the metal bracket goes on the inner or outer. I bought Raybestos sgd1160c pads?

Do you have a video changing the left valve cover gasket?

looks like brian got a new toolbox and air ratchet!

Ha! I found a brand new pair of those $nap-On 90° 'stork' pliers under the hood of a car just yesterday! My customer was with me at the time, and I offered then to her... but she just scrunched her nose and said 'yuck'. Your right, the 90° ones are indispensable... I have a shorter 'intermediate' pair as well; just the thing now and again.

Briansmobile please help me i have question i need your help i was getting ready to do an engine swap on 2014 ford fusion 1.5 ecoboost turbo se only things i disconnected was the neg and postive battery cables i took the battery out and unplug the top harness of the ecm then i remembered that i have to let the fuel pressure out of the lines before i disconnect the fuel lines but in order to do that i have to pull the fuel pump fuse and let the car run till it dies so i hook the battery back up and put the top ecm connector back in the ecm now here is the problem i went to start the car now it wont say nothing all the dash lights work everything works radio etc but the car wont crank or say nothing what did i do i only took the battery out and disconnect the top ecm connector what do i have to do to make this car crank again it was cranking before i disconnect the battery and top ecm connnector

Thumbs up. All the non-mechanics like their fords because they're not the ones having to work on them.

20,000 subscribers, wow, it's growing. And it's not ALL Spanky, ha ha. Nice video.

I've always hated working on ford cars but they are decent cars

Do you know where is the idle air control valve at on the 06 fusion v6 engine

Remember that most of the engine parts are not made by Ford. Most are made by OEM's like Valeo, who make the same parts for so many other manufacturers. That air inlet filter is almost the same part on my VW, just different enough so that you cannot interchange them. When I was driving a Ford the cheapest place to buy wiper blades and the best value was at VW agents, twice the quality and half the price.

Whats the coolest tool you've ever found under the hood?

Hey Brian. Are you and Spanky both licensed techs?

Brian I've been working on my car alot lately and notice my right fore arm la bigger then the left want suggestions?

Oh interesting. So how does certification work in the States?

Do you mean start the engine?

hi man, i did what you did in the video. after i have done it, it turns out a small problem. sometimes when i first start the engine, the engine itself vibrate a little bit, and once i start to drive on the road. it doesn't feel anything wrong. no engine signal shows up on the dashboard. what that could possibly be?
