Ford Crown Vic & P71 Spark Plugs

I give my Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor P71 a "tune up." The older models were definitely easier to change. My 2008 had 2 coil packs (the second one back on each side) that were difficult to remove due to the fuel rail and other obstruction, and the farthest one back on the passenger side required a creative swivel joint to remove and replace the plug. 405 plug: https://amzn.to/2l4NeBm 493 plug: https://amzn.to/2MkI6Fx anti seize: https://amzn.to/2JMEdKY #wjhandydad #crownvic #sparkplugs #DIY 0:00 2008 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor P71 0:14 remove air intake tube 0:46 remove hose clamps 0:57 disconnect the EGR inlet 1:18 pull the intake hose off 1:30 for comparison the 2003 Ford Crown Vic P71 1:51 throttle body 2:47 cleaning my throttle body (quick clean) 3:35 coil packs are held on with 7mm bolts 4:14 for comparison the 2003 coil packs 5:03 2008 coil pack removal 5:30 replacing coil packs is easy if you need to 5:45 spark plugs use 5/8" socket to remove 6:08 clean any debris off so it doesn't fall into engine 6:40 looking at old plug - looks bad 7:35 Crown Vic plugs gap to 054 gap SP-405 for flex fuel; SP-493 for gasoline only 8:11 I personally use anti seize - always have, always will 8:42 install new plug 8:55 definitely torque to 15 ft-lb so they don't spit plugs 9:27 add dialectic tune up grease inside spark plug boots 11:10 trick for installing your new plugs - 5/16 fuel line 13:31 farthest back passenger plug was only one that needed a swivel to access 14:17 reinstall the air intake tube 14:55 start her up and test it 15:52 if you need to, you can reset the computer 16:42 what is a tune up? http://www.WJHandyDad.com Disclaimer: Due to factors beyond the control of WJ Handy Dad, I cannot guarantee against improper use or unauthorized modifications of this information.
