Thanks for this video used it to fix my Taurus. 1 question I replaced my pcv valve and now when I start my car the PCV hose collapses going into the intake. Its sucking the hose closed. Any ideas?

@peterjnapoli - Sounds like you need to replace that hose. They do break down from the heat and use over time. They often collapse where it connects underneath the intake.

Does it really matter which bolts goes in first on the intake ?? thats the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard of.

[pweilnau]

@venxxxxx - You may think it's ridiculous, but the bolt tightening sequence is important and documented in the manufacturer service manuals.

Thank you so much for this video. My dealer wanted $400 but after watching your video it's not so scary looking.

Thanks for this video! It was one of the most helpful I have come across on the internet. My 2006 Taurus (98,000 miles) was a little different from your 2002 but your video made changing my Plugs & Wires a Breeze! Great presentation & Camera work; from those of us who watch and learn it is much appreciated.

You were right. I Replaced the pcv rubber groment and it no longer collapses. I also replaced the plugs wires and coil. Runs 98 % better although it wants to idle a little too long now. I'm having to tap the gas to get it to drop below 100 rpm's .

Thank you! Thank you, Thank you! I had to get under the UIM to replace my coil and change plugs & plug wires, and PVC valve. Appreciate you and your assistant taking the time to record and post. This needs a link to TCCA. Thanks!!!
