Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the ignition coil as well as remove and replace the plugs on this 2004 Dodge Intrepid. This car has a 2.7L V6. The procedure's basically the same for the 3.5L as well. The tools you'll need are 8mm socket and ratchet with an extension and a 5/8 spark plug socket with ratchet and at least a 6-inch extension.
Here are your coils on top of the engine. There is one for each cylinder. This is a 6 cylinder so there's three here and three on the other side. I'm going to change the most difficult one in this video. The only thing that makes it difficult is a few cables and stuff. There's a clip here. You're just going to push the clip over, pry it up, then these cables will kind of come up out of your way. There's a PCV hose here. Just twist and pull that out of your way.
Then, I'll show you here, these coils have a harness into them. You basically just push down on a clip here and pull them off. I'm just going to reconnect that one for now. I'll push down and pull this one off. Then there are two 8mm bolts, here and here, on each one. We'll fast forward a little bit as I remove those two bolts. Then, we have the bolts removed. You simply just pull right up on the coil. There it is out.
While you have that coil out, you can see down in there is actually the spark plug. So if you're going to change the spark plug, obviously this is the time to do it. To remove the spark plug you want a proper spark plug socket like this. This one's actually a little bit worn out so it doesn't grip the plug as well as it should. Obviously, you just kind of put the socket down in, and make good contact with the plug. You also obviously need an extension like I have here, even a little longer one would be good. We're going to hit fast forward again here as I remove that spark plug. You can get it loose with the wrench and then pretty much just turn it with your hands. Like I said, the grommet in my socket's not very good so I'm just going to take a little piece of paper towel, kind of stuff it in there with my pinkie and use that. Once it sticks down on the spark plug, you should get a good grip on it. It brings the spark plug right up and out.
You want to make sure you check the spark plug gap which is basically the distance between the diode and this tip. This vehicle calls for a .050 inch, which if you have a tool like this which is a spark plug gapping tool, you just run it through and it should go through there with a little bit of resistance. Then you use this to either kind of release it or bend it closer if you need to. You can find the gap usually on this decal. You can see right there, a spark plug gap of .050 inch or 1.27mm. This information usually is also in your owner's manual.
These plugs are pretty recent so I'm just going to put this back in. As you can see, I just put a little piece of tape with paper towel in there. Make sure the paper towel's not going to get down around the threads or anything. That holds it in although if you have a good spark plug socket you don't have to worry about that. Just like before, just kind of put it right down through the center. It should thread in easily. I'm just going to put an extra extension on here to make it a little easier. Then, you want to tighten it until it's seated, usually about another 1/8 of a turn. Spark plugs you usually want to have about 20, to 25 foot-pounds of torque. You don't want to overtighten them, but you want to get them in there firm.
Here's our original coil and a new coil from 1AAuto. You can see everything's the same. The plugs are the same and everything so it's going to all go right on there exactly the same way. The plug faces the rear of the motor on this side so it faces the rear on the other side as well. Put it down in, try to get it as straight as you can as quickly as you can. Put it down. Screw in the bolt. Okay, tighten these up nice and firm. They don't have to be extremely tight, but should be on there firm. Reconnect the harness and your PVC hose back on. Clip these cables back on. Now we can just do the rest of them and you're all set.

In this video we're going to be working with our 2006 Chrysler 300 3.5 liter V6. We're going to show you how to remove and replace the engine's ignition coil cylinders two and four, here at the driver's side front of the engine, do not need the intake manifold removed in order to replace them. However, the remaining four cylinders will need to and we'll show you how to do that. If you like this video please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this car as well as many other makes and models and if you need this part for your vehicle, you can follow the link down in the description over to 1AAuto.com. Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Open the hood latch on your vehicle. Open it fully. The cylinder two and four ignition coils and spark plugs can be done without removing your intake manifold. To do this, we'll disconnect the connector on either one. We'll remove the 10 millimeter bolt at the top with a socket and ratchet. Remove the bolt. You may have to wiggle and pull up a little bit to remove your ignition coil.
Here we have our old ignition coil that we removed from our vehicle and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these parts are exactly the same. We have the same length, same boot, the same actual coil on the top with the same single bolt mounting location size and shape, and the same three-pin connector on the back. Now what your ignition coil does, is it has a power and ground going to it from the battery and it has a switched power which is what tells it when to fire, which is what sets your spark plugs off. This is all controlled electronically via the computer n the same way that the rotation of a distributor used to be what determines your firing order on older vehicles. A bad ignition coil can cause the vehicle to not have enough spark or maybe no spark at all which can cause a rich misfire which will harm emissions and potentially the engine as well as creating a check engine light either solid for a lesser misfire or a more serious one will cause the check engine light to flash at which point you should shut the vehicle down immediately. If you need a new ignition coil, this part from 1A Auto it's going to go in direct fit just like your original equipment and fix you up right.
Reinstall your ignition coil. Reconnect the electrical connector. Go ahead and put your 10-millimeter bolt back in and tighten it down with a socket and ratchet. Now this is just securing it in there. I'm just going to get it down as tight as I can by hand here spinning the extension and we'll give it just turn from the top of the ratchet with the wrist just to secure it into place.
To remove your intake manifold we'll loosen the clamp at the throttle body with a flat blade screwdriver. You may want to disconnect this sensor. Looks like ours has been glued on because the clip is broken. You can also simply pop it out of the boot. Disconnect these two hoses from the back of the intake located just behind the throttle body. These just pop off by hand. There's one more at the back of the manifold.
Pull back on the red safety tab, push down and disconnect the sensor from the top of the intake, as well as the two electrical connectors at the front. Disconnect the connector from the throttle body. Again, we have one of those little red safety tabs we have to push down. Then we'll push down the tab and remove the connector.
We'll remove the two 10 millimeter nuts from the throttle body, the seven 10 millimeter bolts from the center of the intake manifold here, as well as the two 10 millimeter nuts over on the passenger side of the intake manifold. We'll do this using a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet where we can and a 10 millimeter wrench where it's a little too tight. Remove the two 15 millimeter bolts at the bottom of the throttle body bracket.
We're doing this with a 15 millimeter socket and ratchet. Remove the bracket from the throttle body. There's a 15 millimeter bolt at the bottom of the bracket on the passenger side of the intake manifold, both front and rear. We'll loosen those up with a 15 millimeter wrench until we can slide them off of the studs. Once you've loosened the brackets go ahead and slide them off the studs. Now we'll lift up on the intake manifold, slide it forward to release it from the EGR tube at the back. Once you're off that tube, lift up being careful for that transmission dipstick and remove the manifold from the vehicle.
While the top of the intake manifold is exposed we're going to wad some paper towels in there, just to keep any dirt and debris from getting in there while we're working.
With the upper intake manifold off we can now access the rest of our ignition coils to replace them.
Reinstall all six of your coil packs. Tighten them down with a 10-millimeter socket and ratchet.
Remove the paper towels from the intake. Clean down this mating surface with some solvent and paper towels or a clean rag. Once again I'm using a brake cleaner here, but there's a variety of solvents you can use to get all that old debris and oil off.
Install your PCV breather tube on the back of the valve cover. You've got a nice little marking on it that says PCV with an arrow so you know which end goes where, and the other end should fall just about over here, where the back of the intake will be.
Remove the old gasket from your intake manifold using a small straight pick here, just to get in there and start popping it out. You should be able to remove the rest by hand. Start your new gasket. Line up. Press that in. Our old EGR seal is damaged so remove that. Install our new one. Make sure it sits all the way back past its edge.
Reinstall your intake manifold, being sure to set the opening for the automatic transmission dipstick into its proper place on the manifold. We'll also want to be careful for the bolts. We'll have to line up our EGR tube as well. Just be mindful of all of these things while we set it into place. Once the EGR tube is set and the intake is laid down onto the lower manifold, clip your automatic transmission dipstick back into place and start all of the 10 millimeter bolts by hand, just a couple of threads, to make sure they're all lined up before we tighten them down.
Tighten up the seven 10 millimeter bolts at the center of the intake. We're not going to tighten these down all the way yet. You just want them a little bit and then we'll have to torque them. Torque these bolts to nine foot-pounds. The manufacturer specification is 150 inch-pounds. However, it's a lot easier to do with this wrench and that number rounds up to about nine foot-pounds. We want to start these in the center and work our way out in a cross pattern.
Reconnect the map sensor. Push the safety into place. Reconnect the two intake tuner valve control. Reinstall the support brackets at the front and rear on the passenger side of the intake. We'll start those 10 millimeters on, just a couple of threads to keep it in place. Using a 15 millimeter socket and ratchet to tighten up those two bolts all the way at the bottom of those support brackets. Once the bottom of the support brackets are tighten down you can use the 10 millimeter socket and ratchet to finish tightening up the top two bolts.
Reconnect the PCV hose and this fitting closest to the EGR tube. We have a small hose here, and a large hose next to that. Reconnect the electrical connector onto the throttle body. Lock the safety tab back into place. You can now set the support bracket back over the throttle body bolts. Make sure it doesn't get caught up in any of the wiring down below. We'll spin our two 10 millimeter nuts on at the top by hand, just to keep that in place. Reinstall the two 15 millimeter bolts at the bottom of the bracket by hand. Tighten up the two 15 millimeter bolts at the bottom of the bracket with your socket and ratchet. Tighten up the two 10 millimeter nuts at the top.
Install the other end of the intake boot onto the throttle body. Tighten it up with your flat blade screwdriver. Reinstall the coolant tank line bracket on the side of the intake tube. Reinstall the map sensor into the intake tube. Earlier when we removed our intake, we wanted to wait until we had the intake tube reinstalled to make sure this all lined up properly. Now that we've got it where it needs to be we'll go ahead and tighten that down.
