2005 Toyota Corolla Tune up

[@AbandonedMines11]

I just had the spark plugs replaced on my 2006 Toyota Corolla which now has 410,000 miles on it. I was getting really bad gas mileage which only became apparent when I took a long trip. Normally on a full tank of gas I could get 420 miles. I noticed, though, that it had dropped to about 330 miles. Replacing the spark plugs helped that a lot. But I was still getting lower gas mileage than normal. I then replaced the air filter as well, and now I’m back up to 420 miles on a full tank of gas at freeway speeds. Best cars ever!

How many miles/gallon at City would you say?

I realize it is kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online ?

@Ezekiel Randy Flixportal :D

[@ezekielrandy6169]

@Van Brecken Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!

[@vanbrecken8147]

@Ezekiel Randy Happy to help :D

[@youngman44]

Wow. So thorough and meticulous. Just what I needed. Thank you so much!!

[@tophervanous6938]

Thank you so much! The old girl is purring like a kitten again

[@dannysdiygarage]

Awesome 👏

[@ZPDSurvival]

Great video. I just picked up a corolla. Changing the plugs first.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Glad to help

[@dannysdiygarage]

How did your turn up work out?

[@ZPDSurvival]

I've been doing a lot of little work on this car. fix front bumper, found passenger side view mirror at junk yard and installed. works. Tune up went well and it is running very nice. Detailed the engine bay. Ball joint next, new tires and alignment. Thank you for asking and happy new year.

[@davidfuchs9636]

I like using graphite spray instead of copper or nickel anti size. It works just as good and it won't hurt anything if it gets into the cylinder.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Great tip David, thank you for sharing

[@israelgabriel1989]

I like your video, I just wish you would explain why you're doing some of the stuff you're doing though, it would be educational. Thanks

[@dannysdiygarage]

Israel Gabriel: thanks for the feedback

[@AustinDDishes]

If you have, say, no experience with engines, could you still do something like this? If you had that right tools?

[@dannysdiygarage]

Absolutely, especially this, easy peazy

[@Friday12321]

This was the second job I did on my car at 17 years old. First was an oil change. Honestly spark plugs are easier because you won’t risk getting dirty and you won’t have to Jack up your car. A very easy job to do and you’ll feel great after fixing a problem on your own car.

[@johnbaraiya4268]

This video is help thank you!!🥰🫡

[@dannysdiygarage]

Appreciate your comment

[@tim5700]

Why didn't you adjust the gap?

[@dannysdiygarage]

plugs are pre gapped, they were checked

[@Fawwad.Hussain]

What should be the average mileage of 2007 corolla in city with or without AC?

[@dannysdiygarage]

32 city 41 highway in perfect conditions so probably more like 25 27

[@williamtownsend4978]

If you drive it easy versus crazy you’ll get better

[@limamantapachitas]

Excellent video, I would clean the MAF sensor with the special cleaner and change the air filter and change the PCV valve for better performance, Thank you for you video I t would be nice to clean the injectors or change the filter and rings with more time or another video, God bless for your videos

[@dannysdiygarage]

Good information 👍🏼

[@budidaya490]

Ulun ni kada tapi paham apa nang pian pandir akan ni tapi pian tu mengganti busi iya lah mang?

[@orinmangar2333]

I would also clean the MAF Sensor and replace the pcv valve!

[@dannysdiygarage]

Thanks for the input, this is not a bad idea, make sure you use electronics cleaner if clean the MAF, I usually only do this if I'm experiencing a problem though, I hate to cause issues by messing with sensitive electronic sensors. Here is a link to the electronics cleaner I use for MAF sensors. www.amazon.com/CRC-05103-Electronic-Cleaner-11/dp/B000BXOGNI/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=electronics+cleaner+for+sensors&qid=1609626643&sr=8-2

[@gualbertofbalbuena9076]

Sir, do you have any video removiing automatic transmission corolla 2005.thank you.

[@dannysdiygarage]

I do not

[@stout_tossme7541]

That is a big job. Probably best to have a shop do it. Unless you are mechanically inclined. I know this was two years ago, I hope you got your transmission issues sorted.

[@classlessbozo317]

I clean the MAF sensor as well.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Hopefully not with carburetor cleaner, you’ll want to use electronic cleaner for that👍🏼

[@paulblake3166]

Can you post a link to the plugs you used please. Useful video!

[@dannysdiygarage]

Bought them at the Auto parts store, just tell them the year of your car, they will hook you up

[@sirich7751]

I changed mine in a 2008, same configuration. I used Bosch iridium. Toyotas recommends NGK or Denso but you local auto part store may not have these. Don't forget the little packs of antisieze and dielectric for the coil pack boots

[@mikei1880]

when I personally going to do a tune up , tank before I'll drop 2 bottles of seafoam , run premium and go down 1/4 tank , drop oil /filter out , then ill change my plugs out,,, major: ill change transmission fluid & filter,pan gasket (kit) tune up as you did , then ill change front oxygen sensor , all filters...preventive maintenance ,,

[@dannysdiygarage]

Sounds like you have a plan

[@tarzan5231]

What were the spark plugs called sir or if you can send a link To The exact parts you used please, thank you.

[@illuz1oN44]

I was always taught not to put anti seize or anything on your plugs to avoid getting any of that in the engine

[@dannysdiygarage]

there is quite a bit of controversy over this subject, anti seize or no anti seize, but this is the 1st time I heard that reason. Pros - when you remove your plugs in the future, they will come out easily and will not seize in the head. Con - there is a slight chance the anti seize will make the plug loosen up over time, also you could over torque these because the anti seize lubricates the threads. I have never had a problem with using a small amount on the plug, this is my recommendation only use a small amount, but you do what you feel you're most comfortable with.

[@limamantapachitas]

the anti seize goes on the tread, no on the electrodes

[@kickinwinghotboi883]

Things definitely changed over time, comparing the '05 Corolla to the '10 Corolla. The spark plugs on my 2010 are 9/16" Iridium plugs, the ones you have look like copper but I can't really tell too well Plus the ones you have look much bigger than mine. Obviously

[@dannysdiygarage]

Gotta roll with changes

[@ujangkosasih7105]

Thank you

[@levigutierrez7809]

The original video would of been nice I don't mind a longer video with more insight and verbal instructions.

[@roeldeleon9360]

why the number one was 13

[@dannysdiygarage]

Sorry, I don’t understand your question

[@jimnoyb1209]

do you trust that the gap was correct out of the box ?

[@Danswerkes]

Yes, but I always check it, compare them to each other

[@jerichobargas0311]

U probably dont want to put your finger in that throttle body if it is an electric actuated type. It can take your finger off if accodentally actuated while still attached to the motor. Better to remove the throttle body completely and then clean it.

[@str8upnaekydd707]

What if you just take the battery out instead? Would that cut the power to prevent this from happening or does that only go so far and this is a safer option? Probably a dumb question. But, I just got my first car and no one to show me how to do anything. I’m trying to search up anything I can before I touch anything so, any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[@PRod7544]

@@str8upnaekydd707 In every maintenance/repair manual step one is always disconnect the battery. Disconnecting the battery completely removes all power to the vehicle. Nothing will work without the battery connected.

[@williamtownsend4978]

Hook up a trickle charger to the cables so the modules don’t lose power

[@AndysGeneral]

Just one thing, I was told to definitely use throttle body cleaner only so you don't mess up anything over time

[@dannysdiygarage]

Yes, make sure you follow my other video when you do the throttle body service, use the rag to clean it up, also use an old toothbrush to get into the tight spots, do not over spray, take your time and do it right.

[@gualbertofbalbuena9076]

Sir, do you any show removed

[@dannysdiygarage]

not sure what you mean

[@israelgabriel1989]

I noticed you took the cover back off

[@dannysdiygarage]

yes, thanks for watching

That is one nasty engine compartment. Don't know why people don't keep them clean if your going to have to work in them.
