  1. Warm up: What car parts are ran by the serpentine belt? Spark Plugs, belts, and accessories

  2. Spark Plugs • Spark plugs create the spark necessary for the ignition of the gas. • Virtually unchanged for 120 years • May need to be serviced in a vehicle between 30k-100K

  4. Unconventional Spark Plugs • E3 Plugs, Bosch Platnium, NGK Iridium • Uses Different technology to enhance performance • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veqxUwmk1I8&feature=relmfu

  5. Unconventional Spark Plugs • My Experience with E3 • Improved MPG on 03 Dodge Durango with 4.7L • Did generator test- under no load a convention plug and E3 ran for the same amount of time when fuel was cut to the carb • Under Significant load Convention plug ran for 1:07, E3 ran for 1:14

  6. Step- 1 • Find the correct spark plug socket • Use ratchet and socket to remove plug from engine block • Once removed inspect for burns, gap size, and electrode size

  7. Step 2 • Put anti-seize around the thread of the new plugs • Thread in by hand first (if possible). Otherwise thread in with socket and extension with NO ratchet attached. • Torque to specs located on All data, or user manual. • If no specs are available The plugs are to be tightened to 13 lb-ft. which is just hand tight with a short ratchet.

  8. Step 3 • Do spark plugs one at a time, so you do not confuse the wiring. • Repeat steps until all plugs have been changed

Serpentine Belt • The serpentine belt is a rubber belt driven by the crank shaft around pulleys to power the cars accessories like.. • Alternator • Water Pump • Air conditioner • Power Steering NOTE: Accessories located on the belt do not need to be serviced but rather replaced in the event of failure
