2001 grand caravan---- partial tune up

Asked by Carl Oct 30, 2015 at 08:39 PM about the 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan ES FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

mechanic said spark plugs 1 and 5 were frozen and could not be removed is
changing 4 of 6 plugs still better for the car than not doing the tune up?

1 Answer

Yes but that won't buy you much time. When the remaining two plugs burn out your car will run really badly. Try and find a mechanic that can get the plugs out without damaging the engine. You may end up having to bite the bullet and force them out and then heli-coil the heads. This is why I always use anti-seize on plug threads.
