Hey Ray do you or your shop keep old coils that come out of systems like this that are still relatively good for people who can't afford to replace a coil themselves if it comes up or do they just end up in the trash? i'd expect them to hit the trash but ya never know.
Aren’t the coil to spark plug boots available separately from the coils or are they integrated into the coils in s way that prevents replacement of just the boots? I’ve never worked on that type of car
That Crocodile Dundee socket was cool, had me thinking "That's not a socket, this 👆 IS A SOCKET" in my bestly imagined Aussie accent of course. That doo doo doo thing is magic, you should throw together a shop band😉
I wish I could remove the spark plugs that easily on my Mitsubishi FTO, V6 FWD. No, remove inlet manifolds, disconnect wiring harness and fuel injection rail, to get to back ones, front bank is easier, remove plastic cover, then, special plug socket that goes down between camshafts with flats on it to remove plugs. I love older cars, much more fun to work on, LOL.
Ray your a one hell of a mechanic you pretty much can repair any make or model of vehicle I’m 65 and still enjoy working on my own stuff keep those videos coming !!!
I had a misfire on a 2015 Buick Encore from the spring pushing hard against the boot and actually rubbing through. Drove me crazy for a bit since the coil was still firing like in this video. Went old school and removed the plug attached it to the coil and set the plug near ground and that's when i noticed the spark escaping through the boot. Gotta be a better way to encase the spring. The new set of coils was exactly the sam way. Wish I had seen this video before I ran into that!
Wow, how you didn't get Zapped by that Spark is Unbelievable. Having been Zapped myself in the Past on an Older Model Mini. The Power is Definitely Up there wiv a Tazzer. Thankfully I haven't been Tazzered. (So cant be Certain.)
What I do know it "Hurts a Lot..!'
'Living on the Edge..!' I did note you kept it against the Engine it's self..! But a Possible Oocchhie..!!
You inspire me to be a better mechanic. I really wish my spark plug/coil job would go that easy on my 1998 F-150. The 5.4 triton really tucks some of the spark plugs away by the firewall. Any suggestions/wierd tips to achieve clicks? 🤔
I'm in South Africa, and I have to say that even though you guys have different cars to here, I've learnt a huge amount from you, from short cuts to fine little details that pertain to all technicians! Your knowledge is astounding and your humor is totally uplifting. thank you
It's probably the heat that causes those coils to fail as the problem in both cases were low down, where it's probably hottest. Still, a nice easy fix and it was all put together logically. Compared to the amount of stuff that has to be removed on some engines before you even gain access, that was a breeze.
Two things: Is there a reason you don't use thread compound on the plugs?
Now, for those of us in the corresponding age bracket to remember the movie War Games, there is a scene where Dabney Coleman says he'd piss on a spark plug. Even in my youth, I knew that was bull&^*t. I'm actually a bit disappointed you didn't get bit, for those of us with SVT it makes it a fun time. That would be AWESOME content too, hehehe.
A friend of my son had the same problem on a Toyota Celica. A piece of heat shrink cured the fault
After some of the things I've seen you do you really could have done this job blind folded.
Through some electric tape around the electric leak. I sure it will good as new. 🙂
I want that car that is the easiest spark plug change ever
coils were fine! should have just replaced the boots and saved the customer money.

No anti-seize on plugs? What’s your input on that?
Do you know what the procedure is to eliminate the governor on a 2010 GMC 5.3 liter?
Nicely done. Click, Click. DooDeeDoo!
Makes me want to get rid of my v8 and v6 due to accessibility alone, not to mention half the plugs and coils.
Ray I would like to know why you don't use a cordless 3/8 impact it is faster than your ratchet and will fit where your 1/2 inch won't.
But I like oil change videos

The cross on the dash had me hopeful for a successful outcome from the start, then came the electrocution of my favorite Rainman🕺☠️ Glad ur ok bud!😎
I clicked to watch all the clicks.
I just want to know where I can get a set of those super long sockets please
The Nissan went Rogue lol 😂

Rogue electrons! 😹
No brake cleaner on exiting exhaust pipe?
The coil is good why you just change the boots 🤔🤔🤔🤔not good job 🤫🤫
Where can I get a extended spark plug socket? None of the auto parts stores has any.
If it wasn't bad it is now, could have been the plug to begin with
You certainly have a long tool there young man!
I can tell that client was Mexican by the rosary on the rear view mirror
Spark plug socket where
Favorite part to all your videos is when the phone rings.
wow those were difficult to change.

That is one crazy long socket for the plug removal.
never forget the hoes… er… hose even!

The Oil Change is the best part…. oh well maybe next time…

"I'll save these for test coils", quick, check eBay for 3 "slightly used" coils!
,,,,and I'm gonna go ahead and hoooodeedooodeedooooo recommend some spark plugs….. XD

Why not get a 'boot and wire kit (spring?)' for the coils? Aftermarket coils are hit or miss and I'm sure the oem ones cost a mint.
It's probably the heat that causes those coils to fail as the problem in both cases were low down, where it's probably hottest. Still, a nice easy fix and it was all put together logically.

Thanks for the video. Do you ever have to show your videos to skeptical clients to prove failures?
professional diagnosis, quick profession fix no missing steps.
I’ve got 228k on my original Toyota coils in my 3.4

The device is called a Taser
The verb of it being used on you is "Taze/Tazed"
Ray, I was wondering if you use anything on the sparkplug threads? Neverseeze, etc?
Good
Always learn something watching your videos.👍
