01 Lexus IS300 2JZ-GE SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT

[@davidyoung1610]

Thanks for a clear detailed video on how to disassemble the parts necessary to get to the spark plugs AND the reassembly process.

[@luisv5347]

Great video, I’m a visual learner and this was very straight forward. I’m gonna tackle this on the weekend. Thanks

[@lildude6906]

Overall good, solid video! I think my only suggestion would be showing the entire procedure. Symptoms, scanning the vehicle, repair and then how the vehicle reacted to the replacements or repairs.

[@bryanpaz7456]

Jovin Flores I sooooo agree

[@rodnewman3534]

great clip, music too loud , I like to hear what you are saying. Thank you, i like your clips

[@richardhall9500]

Thanks man for this. Have never done it before so appreciate your showing me how it's done. I have a 2005 so assume it's pretty much the same. And I like the way you hadn't pre-loosened bolts prior to making the video. Top stuff.

[@JordanCMcBride]

Great video! I don’t mind the music, but you could buy a cheap røde lav mic and just wear the microphone under your shirt and clip it on the collar for better audio. Procedure very well explained compared to A LOT of other auto tutorials. You’re the man. Keep it up.

[@LifeTac]

Thanks for the advice and tip! I appreciate the feedback!

[@InsanenessMedia]

Awesome informative video. Changed the plugs on my 98 Supra 2JZ-GE just by watching this video

[@LifeTac]

Awesome! I'm glad my video was helpful to you!

[@azndrgnboi34]

I hope you did it right unlike this video and focus on the details. The Throttle Body Gasket cannot be reused! Manual specifically states that. Spark plugs must be torque to 13ft lbs. And please don't leave the wires dangling like that! In the SUPRA it comes with wire guides that keep them nice and neat. I'm in the process of working on my 98 right now too. This is the 2nd time I'm changing out the spark plugs. If you looking for Part Numbers and discount let me know I'll refer you!

[@TheMuzikall]

And it run perfectly after???😆😆😆..well done.👏👏👏..I am too scared to try😥😥😥

[@rydarp21]

Nice video bro 👌 Would be cool if you had shown the problem before and after.

[@joealeman1204]

When putting back on the rubber plenum spacer, is it necessary to buy a new one or use sealant? what if it leaks? :(

[@robsnizzle7]

Oh this is gonna be fun. Lol. Oh well, totally worth it for what I'm driving. Just take the day and do it right. This vid will help.

Good video. Although I usually hit the end of the boots with die-electric grease to seal.

[@lucerospersonal7840]

I did this today.. just a heads up for everyone, you’re going to need some sealant. And don’t forget where you took the screws out from... this fixes a check engine light and a blinking trac off light.

sealant for what if you dont mind me asking

Nothing gets torqued to spec what a mechanic

[@Muajtutshiab]

After replacing spark plug and wire got random multiple misfire cinlyder 1&5 any idea

[@LifeTac]

Possible the ignition coil is bad. Easy way to tell is to replace the misfire coils to a cylinder that’s good and see if the misfire switches to the cylinder you replaced it to

[@LifeTac]

It’s also not uncommon for a bad fuel injector to throw a misfire as well

[@mikejamieson6802]

I get misfire occasionally on cylinder 5 when it’s hot out and I accelerate. Flashing trac and cel, I did plugs packs and wires about 30 k ago plugs are oem but everything else after market and cheap wires. Think it might be the wires?

[@jhuggz6024]

Did you ever figure that out? I'm having the same issue

[@franklindavila9649]

I have random/multiple cylinder misfires (code p0300) Car runs great still. But I want to change my spark plugs and coils on my 02 is300 to see if that’s the issue. I heard NGK lithium spark plugs are great as well do you know what coil packs are recommended for is300?

[@LifeTac]

4.9 out of 5 stars 33Reviews NGK # 6774 LASER IRIDIUM Premium Spark Plugs IZFR6K-13 Those are the best OE replacement plugs. If you go to rockauto.com they have the best prices for OE replacement coils. But the issue is most likely oil leaking into the cylinder head from bad valve cover gasket. So I recommend replacing the VCG and the plugs coils should be good

[@franklindavila9649]

@@LifeTac Ok thanks. So before I buy my coil packs/wiring I should buy my VCG and spark plugs and replace them first ?

[@franklindavila9649]

@@LifeTac also do I recommend getting the valve cover gaskets for rock auto as well?

[@freddymonteblanco3969]

Hey man , came across your video yesterday. Your video was great. Super informative and easy to follow that my girlfriend changed her spark plugs on her own. She made me just hold the light. Gave me beta vibes lmao. Anyways, we just wanted to give you a like and a big thank you.

[@TechCrazy]

Excellent work!

[@imagines11]

Nice job! Can you help me? I have 99 GS300 with misfire on #3, I decided to change all such as wires, plugs, and coils ((3)). Problem acted up again: sakes, plow-by, when acerated.... I replaced 3 broken plugs for the coils, which I thought that may caused the problem due to possible wrong location, neg. / pos. Wires..but it shouldn't because the #3 cyn. still the problem. Thanks in advance.

[@8849junior]

Probably not gonna get a reply but did you ever end up fixing this? My 98 gs is doing the same, i have no codes showing

[@MrVidrio187]

Nice vid man. Pretty insightful. Would have been cool if you showed that the code was cleared but nonetheless really helpful. Thank you.

Hey I’m changing mines exactly like the ones you got did they work good ?

[@amkcdjihawaiiadventuresand1796]

Homie; you should never use anything but hand tools when removing spark plugs. It’s not worth the time if you strip the spark plug. Thanks for the vid though. Slow is fast bro…roll slow. Aloha from the 808

I'm having trouble replacing my ECT location is really FU how can I replace it......

[@seandalejackson2525]

What wires did you use? Great vid My Man!!

[@seandalejackson2525]

Is there a sealant on that black throttle body spacer?!

[@arturosalinas4165]

Did you gap them? I would like to know how much gap.

[@Adam-FR]

Arturo Salinas I don't think you need to do that if you have the right plugs. Always try to go with OEM from the manual. It doesn't give you more horsepower if you buy "better" plugs, unless you totally modify your engine, then you might need different ones.

[@arturosalinas4165]

Adam Francuzik I bought the same ones that you showing in the video thats why I ask about the gap. Im stock.

[@TechCrazy]

You don't mess with the gaps on NGK or Denso plugs. They are all checked to perfection during manufacture.

[@shanehanson2084]

Always check gaps! What if the plug has been dropped?

[@twinturbo3531]

The rachet that you used rechargeable what kind?

[@LifeTac]

Yes it's rechargable and it's called the milwualkee m12 fuel 12volt

holy shit so much to remove just to change the plugs?! no wonder these cars are expensive to own..

[@favier9856]

I think the spark plugs you used are for the gte not ge

[@stevieceetothemax3877]

I did this too the T and now my CEL is telling me cyl 1 3 and 5 are misfiring.ive done everything To the T, meaning I’ve confirmed everything is where it should be. It wasn’t throwing these codes before. Any ideas?

[@LifeTac]

I would first try and clear the code and see if it comes back. Other than mixing up the wires or not having them plugged all the way on to the spark plugs or the coil plugs completely on to the coils. It could be a possibility that the vehicle was on accessory and the plugs were unplugged. Throwing a code. Also the injectors often go bad on lexus/toyotas throwing a misfire code.

[@Adam-FR]

What coils are those? Any cheaper ones you could recommend, or just better to get them at the local auto parts place?

[@LifeTac]

Adam Francuzik if you can wait for shipping, go to rockauto.com best cheapest place to get oem spec replacement parts

[@stephencastro1437]

Thanks for the video. But you really need to either remove the background music or turn the volume of it way down. It is really loud and drowns you out a bit making it hard to follow. Thanks.

[@bryanpaz7456]

What misfires is the car having ? I have an 02 and it’s giving me the check engine light, giving error code p1121 P1121 LEXUS - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Range/Performance Problem. Have you encountered this issue ???

[@sgvstud12]

I had this issue I changed the apps. I have an extra one for sale lmk

[@scandaleux]

Good news: did everything and got it back together. Bad news: oil in all of the spark plugs so we dodnt replace them looks like the shop is where shes going

[@LifeTac]

Oil in all the spark plug cylinders is a sign that your valve cover gaskets need to replaced, it is a fairly easy job, just takes a little time and patience

[@jorgecabrera2589]

You can take them out no problem. It's the inexperience of people that have issues stripping the threads putting them back in ive been doing this for 10 years and I've never stripped a plug

[@LifeTac]

Cartoonz N 2JZ did you ever get it figured out? You have to check the codes and see which one is misfiring. Most likely the coil is bad or the injector. Those are the most common culprits. Easy check to see I'f the coil is bad is to just switch the suspected bad one with a easy to reach good and and the bad coil should switch to the cylinder when you rescan it
