very informative. thanks

I always use anti-seize on spark plugs that go into aluminum threads. I never had a misfire, stuck plug or damaged threads.

What do you do if you break the lock on the pigtail connector

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Nothing. The connector will stay in place once you plug it back in. I've seen lots of Toyotas with broken connector locks and it's never been an issue 👍

[@qmytopher]

You can use a zip tie, rtv (just a dab) to "glue" the pigtail in place or use eletrical tape. Anything to ensure pigtail doesn't come loose due to vibration.

[@waltersweet4595]

I soldered a new pigtail connector on 2 cylinders. The black ones broke and the gray ones did not

Ignition coils are pretty expensive compared to the plugs. Should I change them when I put in new plugs, or can I roll with the old ones?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Good question. That's up to you. A lot of times I reuse the old coils, especially if there aren't any misfires. This vehicle had a slight misfire and over 200k miles so the customer opted for new coils to save on labor down the road. But it is quite a bit more expensive. You can compromise and buy three for the back since they are buried then if one of the front fails those are easy. Or just roll with the old ones.

Do i disconnect battery?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

It's not necessary because you're not working around any live wires. But it doesn't hurt if you want to be extra cautious 👍

[@airnicholai]

alwaysn safe to remove the negative terminal on the battey whenever you're working on anything electrical or with ignition
