I'm about to do the coil pack spark plug change on a 1999 5.4 Expedition. I've watch about ten videos on youtube on how to. I found your video to be the best. A few tips from other videos to go along with your video should make a tough job a bit easier.

***** thanks again followed your method of changing plugs then do the coils from back to front worked superb. The only real issue I ran into was on #4 had a bit of a time getting the extension with plug socket out, the rubber in the socket held onto the plug, had to use long needle nose pliers to retrieve the short locking extension and socket. Not much room back there on #4.

@@davidcarlson6885 I ended up loosening the fuel injector rail. I didn't think it was possible to do it without doing that first.

For some simple reason, beyond my knowledge, I removed the injectors and the fuel rails when I tried this. This looks like a much better way to attempt this. My truck has missed for over 5 years. Beyond annoying. But as it is written this is how it went. Thanks for posting.

I liked the video. Been wondering how to tell "which one is the bad one". If Ford dealer is going to charge me $200 to find and replace just one... I will change all eight coils + plugs for same $$$. Video makes it seem like do-able in my garage. Thanks.

Great info. Great work. Thorough and patient mechanic.

Great video. Going to do plugs and ignition coils on my 5.4l and needed the info. Thanks

I think you did a great job. you gave a (how to) in common sense I think. I have a 97 F250 with the same setup👍

For those of you afraid of breaking spark plugs. I normally recommend using sea foam for about a month before changing the spark plugs. We have had a lot of success with this. Must break up the carbon that forms on the plug. Good luck all.

Thanks for putting this video up. I have an 2003 F150 5.4L that is pretty similar Good tip on the back to front installation order. I also removed the PVC valve and pulled its hose to the side to give me more access to the #3 & #4 coil packs. Something you skipped over is to put dielectric grease inside the boot of the coil to help conductivity between the coil and the plug - this also helps seal the connection from moisture that might get into that deep well the plug sits in. Otherwise - good video!

Thanks for this video! Never really worked on my vehicle (more of a tech guy w/ computers, network admin, etc), started having the same problem on my 2000 Expedition. Heard it was difficult to change the plugs from some of my mechanic friends.... this doesn't look as bad as I thought it might be.... will try my luck at changing everything out this week. Thanks again! Liked and subbed.

Loved your video!! It helped me so much !!! Thank you !!!!!!!!

With regards to removing the spark plugs. Drive your car or truck until it reaches the normal temp. Working with the heat sucks. However the engine heat wil make the spark plug removal much easier. i.e helps reeduces the risk of breaking the spark plug.

About to do this on my 01 Expedition, I noticed to my relief that you don't have to remove the fuel injection rail to get to them,thanks for the great tips!

Great video.. I would however recommend the Di-Electric Grease put on the end of the spark plug top or on the Coil boot so the top of the plug gets a complete connection with the coil inside the boot. That's highly recommended by Ford also.

The new recommended spark plug installation on the 5.4, as recommended by Ford, is 28 ft/lbs with no anti-seize. This will prevent any blow outs, and since the Motorcraft plugs are nickel plated anyways, anti-seize is unnecessary. These motors are picky, only Motorcraft plugs should be used.

Not sure how you can tell when the coil is properly connected to the spark plug? There is no "click" when I push the boot in, and it's a bit spongy where the coil mount touches the intake manifold..

Tnks 4 the video...

Ive heard horror stories from these engines blowing the back plugs out.

My problem was, where is the clip located so that I can disconnect the dam wire harness? The clip is located under the wire harness where one cannot see it. Your video does not show that.

Maybe in here from another viewer spray from above is a waste lube never gets below threads run carbon cleaner like he says remove warm Replacement You want copper coat if possible never seize is OK but the conductivity of CC is desired I apologize in advance You re not coating the threads coat the long tip w/ thin coat carbon bonds the tip to the "cylinder" and does not turn with the plug breaks off get extraction tool and always remain calm

Just be careful since the intake is plastic and can be easy to crack or melt thru if you're not careful.

There is a little plastic tab on the connector. You pry that away from the coil with a screw driver or by hand, being careful not to snap it. Pull the plug out at the same time you are prying. Here's a picture of connector, the "tonque" shape piece is what you need to pry away. You pull the tonque piece out and over top of a tab on the coil itself.

So, I'm not a car expert, so let's get that out of the way. That being said, my 2001 f150 has 160k miles on it, and this has happened twice, once 4ish years ago and about an hour ago. If it's the coil, it will shudder at a certain speed as the cylinders become engaged. So on mine, it shuddered from 40 to 50 mph. Any lower and it was fine, any higher and it was fine, and in that 40-50 range, it would only shudder if I tried to maintain that speed. Accelerating through would be normal. Based on some other posts, 90% of all shuddering is those damn coils. It could be a wheel flat issue (I'm not sure what that means) and it could be water trapped that heats and cools that causes it (im not sure how), but my coils ( I guess, the guy also said spark plugs, but I thought it was all one thing) were the problem. obviously you can check the code, but the coils are the best place to start.

However, I will say that OEM Motorcraft coils will be the safest option if you have reserve, especially before an off brand.

+NoVaKane The plug to the coils can be very tight, which is good for protecting against moisture but hard to take apart. Best thing I can suggest is to make sure the small tab on the plug is firmly pulled back (careful, as too much pull may cause it to break) and then wiggle side-to-side and rock up and down gently as you pull. Make sure to pull on plug itself and not the wires. This is just rule of thumb to remove a tough connector, please let me know if you have troubles or I did not fully understand your issue. Sometimes some light "leverage" from a screw driver can help separate as well, but that is last resort.
