Thanks Derrick. This is awesome and easy. They were going to charge me $230+. Since I have the tools, I have to spend just the cost of the plugs. I'm sure this video may have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for common folks.

I love your videos to help me keep my 2001 Elantra running well. Great camera work, detailed explanations for the non-mechanic, and keeping it focused on the point of the video (like speeding up the repetitive parts instead of just chattering about nothing). I'm not here to watch a talking head, I'm here to see some car maintenance! Excellent work! +1

I own a 2003 Elantra and decided to turn it up myself. I'm glad I found your video.

Thank you i can do this job by myself. Instead of paying somebody $50 to do it for me. Thanks a lot😊 I own a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS

thank you for the kind words.

No problem, thanks for watching.

This video is amazing and a life saver. Definitely didnt want to take my car in and get charged what the mechanic was quoting.

My plugs were a little tight... needed some more "jiggle" but everything worked out!!! Thanks so much for the video :)

np, thanks for watching.

This video is way underrated and it deserves more praise! Good job and thank you, it was SOOOOO helpful! =)

I have the same exact car. Just did Mine today. Purs like a kitten. Thank you!

excellent video! simple to understand! I have a 1998 Hyundai Avante (Korean version on Elantra). I believe the spark plugs are dying.

Thank you so much, coming up on 60K miles and want the plugs changed, hope it is as easy as it looks.

Thank you, just changed the wires and plugs on my 2007 Tucson 2.0l

Thanks for making it extremely easy &a cheap 👍👍

Most spark plugs come pre-gapped, make sure you ask at the auto parts store. If not, there is a gap tool they sell for a dollar you can get. I dont have a video on how to gap them right now but there are plenty good ones on youtube I am sure. GL

Looks like there are no tricks to lifting the spark plug connectors. I'll go back and try again, pull harder and wiggle them as i did. Used to use a service manual 20-30 years ago - looks like You tube, Bing, Google, plus guys like you, is what it takes these days. Thanks for posting.

Excellent video !! best !! so far for this job !! .....Thanks

Thanks for the great videos, I've improved a lot by following your channel. Keep up the good work 👍

thank you, great video, you help me out a lot

i'm having trouble starting my 2001 Tiburon and thought it might be a spark issue since the battery seems fine and and it seems to want to start but just wont turn over. the engine light just came on but it ran for a few weeks before this issue occured. could a bad spark plug be the reason for this? (side note: we successfully jumped it once but it took some time and once again it didnt sound like a battery issue: just not enough crank or something) hopefully u can shed some light on it.

that was helpful,thanks

Very helpful. Have a 2011 and the only difference is that the parts that you pulled by hand were held by a 10mm bolt and another hard plastic piece was similarly bolted the same way. First time with changing spark plugs and it couldn't have been easier. Thanks.

About to replace them. I saw a vid by 1A auto and they say that it’s best to work on one at a time. So you don’t confuse yourself with the cables

Well, they do have to pay for their shop, mechanics, tools, insurance, etc. But many of them do charge too much for simple things like this.

What do you number spark plugs?

Exactly the car I have and I'm having an issue with the O2 sensor not ready so I changed it and it still says not ready.... It's annoying. And why the heck does not have a mass airflow sensor

What he means is thread the plug back in by hand until it bottoms out then torque it to spec with a ratchet...

Don't we disconnect the battery before doing so?

Did you need the gap the spark plugs?

They come pregaped but I would get the tool looks like a coin and do it yourself just to be sure

im thinking about buying a 2005 Hyundai Elantra... what are your opinions on this 2.0L engine?

ronnie horn Its not a bad engine as long as it was well maintained. Timing belt, water pump and the thermostat must be replaced on time. Over all the car is average as far as reliability, some electrical problems but its hit or miss. You might be better off buying a Toyota Camry or Corolla if you want something more reliable. GL

What do i do when i cant get them out at all and the socket cant even hold :/

how's your gap!

Stephen Bowen the gap is unnecessary in modern cars isn't it?

What about wires?

I'm sure the way you said that you don't tighten the spark plugs anymore than hand tight is going to confuse a lot of people.

Gap??? No spark plug should be assumed pre gapped! Most are pregapped wrong

Not in this car in my partner car is an old Ford falcon for replacement we pay 450 Australian dollar
