Thank you SO much for this video! My 2002 Taco Check Engine Light came on - error code indicated cylinder 3 was misfiring. I bought a set of BOSCH brand Iridium plugs. Got home, opened the hood and was immediately taken aback to see the intake covering the very plug that I needed to access most of all. Intimidating to see some disassembly necessary to access the plugs. I never worried about this type of thing on my Pontiac Grand Am SS - which I wrenched on quite freely. Seeing this video has me feeling a bit better about jumping in to this project.

Excellent tutorial, bud. If i could add anything it would be double checking both the old plugs and the new plugs for the crush washer as well as documentation of any irregularities in the removed plugs; i.e any abnormal fouling, pitting or fluids on said plug. This will give you an idea of any further diagnosis you may need per cylinder. Also, with long plug boot applications like the 3.4, i would definitely recommend dielectric grease on the ceramic part of the plug. This will prevent the boot from seizing and possibly breaking due to thermal breakdown of the plug boot itself. Wouldn't hurt to squeeze a little into the electrical connection for the coil over plug connector too, as well as checking the o rings inside that connection. I appreciate you stressing twisting the boots prior to removal, big help in breaking loose old, stubborn plug boots. One at a time is always a must to get the lengths right on those wires, good tip there. Look forward to seeing your other videos

I've found using a 6 to 10 inch piece of rubber hose (sold at all auto stores) pushed snugly on the end of the spark plug works better than an extension or pliers to start a spark plug. Once threaded in pull hose off then use socket w/extension. The rubber hose will hold the plug firmly without risk of damaging the plug.

wow never thought of that, but makes sense. Less chance to cross thread even compared to hand tighten with socket. Thanks for the tip!

As long as you use iridium you should be fine with single tip.

Question for whoever has a intelligent answer I’m doing work on my buddy’s 02 Tacoma although I do things like that as favor for favor trade with friends example I know basic mechanics he knows welding I do tune up for him he welds bs for me anyway up until he got this truck I’ve never had to mess with anything other than American. Can’t find info on the problems going on and want to be sure before I do useless labor. The ignition lock cylinder is worn out causing the need to jiggle to start and key can be removed in on and running position witch wasn’t an issue until I tried programming a new key fob. It might not have the controller for that but it concerns me because apparently there is a anti theft sensor that was used for Toyota around that year that worked off the key pins inside the housing and they should lock the key in place and if they can’t do so and it is turned the sensor keeps it from starting and the alarm sounds off also if a key is used while doing this it doesn’t lock it in. I’m thinking at one point in time the key got stuck and this was seen as an easy bypass for someone because they didn’t have the key fob to shut off the alarm giving the fact it’s an alarm for hot wire not entry. Bypassing the sensor will cause the security system to not know and or think the correct key is always in preventing the alarm to be set given the hopes it has one because power locks and windows with a little light next to the gear box switch is a red flag that it does. The part I’m not sure of because of little to no information I can find about this model is that I know this truck has a sensor that tells the shifter to unlock when the key is on and half the cars I’ve done ignition repair on “never for this reason” have ether one sensor to do both jobs, two do separate one shifter one alarm, or has alarm sensor and mechanical parts that release a lock for the shifter. I’m not sure what year make or model the mechanical one is in because I’ve never seen or noticed because nobody with one I know has problems with it. But please if you have done similar or spot on stuff like what I’m doing please reply and help me trouble shoot to avoid having to remove the key lock from the switch because it means cutting out rivets and essentially re keying a lock twice because they are mirrored both sides and will be pointless if it’s just that worn out causing it to do that because that will be a big disappointment especially when you cut little bits off something when there dash is apart and it doesn’t fix the problem people get mad and that’s no good for reputation. Any and every experience or intelligence information on all of the above is greatly appreciated! Please help!!

That is correct, it's a 3.4 V6 shown in the video but he process is still very similar for a 4 cylinder

@@mrdgenerate man no apologies needed, I don't take things said in my comments personally and actually like for people to communicate openly so I can know where to improve. Life has its ups and downs for sure. I don't know what you are going through personally, but hope it starts to work itself out. Tomorrow is always a new day with new/better possibilities.
