Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks!
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the spark plugs on this 2002 Ford Escape with the 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. The items you'll need for this are a 5/16 spark plug socket and ratchet with an extension, and a spark plug gap tool.
To remove the spark plug wires you want to pull and twist at the same time. Then, using your 5/16 spark plug socket, an extension, and a ratchet, just remove the spark plug. We'll fast-forward as Mike does that. The spark plug will pull right out.
You want to gap these so the distance between the electrode and the diode you want to be between .048 and .052. I'm going to go to .05, and you want to run this through there. Should have a little bit of resistance and a little bit of resistance coming out. You could shrink it down by bending like that or prying it up, but we'll set them all again to .050. That one's good.
Back into the spark plug socket. We'll fast-forward as Mike tightens that spark plug back into place. Now take your spark plug wire and push it back down into place. Make sure it's all the way down. You'll hear it click a little bit but you can feel it click more. Then repeat the process for the other three spark plugs.
