[@kainoa003]

Great Step by Step Instructions! Most DIY videos leave out a step or two assuming you know what to do, but you go the extra step by showing us everything, really appreciate it!

[@frogfoot198]

Your camera work was outstanding. Easy to see, no hands or head in the way, easy to follow your directions. Thanks.

[@heatblur1]

Great video! Direct and to the point... No fluff or loud obnoxious intro. Excellent camera work...Thank you.

[@russgeer9450]

Great simple to follow instructions. Even a dummy like me can now change the plugs out.

[@dozerboy67]

Outstanding presentation sir, I thought for sure I was screwed when it came to working on my 2000 Toyota 4runner, even though it’s 23 years old! After watching your video, I’m quite certain I’ll wax that pup! Thank you for a clear and concise explanation of the process! 🙏💪👊🤙

[@dellalderman8011]

Wow. That engine is so clean!! Mine has 336,000 plus miles on it. Valve covers leaking oil and covered with mud and dust. Great video by the way.

[@catering1988]

Amazing tutorial, very detailed, helps out a ton. Keep up the great work. Thank you

[@warm4023]

I had a cylinder 6 misfire in my 04 Tacoma. Great video! Detailing and explaining all parts of the job. Also thumbs up on the next video to change the wires! Thank You!

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 so glad to hear u had a misfire and dont still have it👍

[@bfields1448]

​@@backyardchevy328I just started getting a misfire on 3 and 6 cylinders and I checked them and they're getting fire, changed plugs and coil and still misfire idk what it is

[@chitoflores4799]

​@@bfields1448 try swapping plug from one tahts not misfiring to eliminate the possibility of bad spark plug or.check gap. Coil same.. swap too

[@bfields1448]

​@@chitoflores4799it was bad plug wires. Runs great now

[@josefrancisco-uu2xi]

Best video presentation from A - Z. Thank you.

[@CtznofEternity]

Question: NGK states specifically to not put Anti-Seize on since their plugs have trivalent plating, providing corrosion resistance. They even say it could be detrimental to your engine if you do so and it's completely unnecessary. Have you ever had an issue with this?

[@bovideos9751]

The people at NGK (or any other spark plug maker) are not the ones removing the spark plugs after 100k, 200k, 300k+ miles. I always add some anti-seize and am careful not to over-torque the spark plugs. Here is some additional evidence: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXjPlJaCZ5qcb7s

[@donburns2123]

Great video, Im going to try and change mine this weekend. I have a 2004 Tacoma 3.4L . Are the plugs the same for a 2004? I accidentally broke the top covering on the plug wire connected to the #4 coil I thought that I had to take that off to remove it. Does the coil have to grip the end of the plug with a locking sound? I pushed it down but didnt feel a secure grip when I tightened the screw for the coil?

[@redbird7893]

I just saved myself a few hundred bucks, thx g

[@wyattturna3535]

PERFECT CLARITY!!

[@Miles-wy1zr]

Just got a 1995 tacoma with this engine. Previous owner put single electrode platinum ngks. I keep getting a misfire with codes p0300 p0301 and p0303. He also put aftermarket ignition coils. Could single electrode spark plugs cause the misfire? Does it hurt the engine? I just ordered a set of Denso duel electrode spark plugs, wires, and ignition coils. Hopefully that clears up the misfires

[@BlackedOutRant]

I would say to check the ignition plugs to make sure the connector doesn’t come off onto the spark plug. I made that mistake and had to replace two of those as well

[@sk8nchill52]

Perfect thank you! I have a misfire on 3 and 6…. Probably the coil that controls them both

[@backyardchevy328]

Yea that sounds like itd be a bad ignition coil since that one powers both of those

[@bfields1448]

​​@@backyardchevy328I have same problem replaced coil and 2 plugs and still misfire. Even checked the wires and plugs with a tester and it's getting fire. Idk

[@Orthodoxology]

I don’t have twin ground and need a quick temporary fix. Will the single ground work?

[@thecloverboys]

yes ngk iridium’s are what i used

[@stevanrose7439]

I had a misfire on my 02 Tacoma and went after the number 5 plug because it is the easiest to get to. When I was talking it out I thought I was breaking my ratchet because of how hard it was coming out. That plug was bad so the misfire went away. The rest of the plugs came easy. With 6 new plugs it runs like a top.

[@WookieLove1]

Superb instructional video! Kudos!

[@AT-qu1ek]

Great tutorial! Many thanks!

[@WilliamEaton-hf3im]

Which coil pack is number three

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

Awesome video thank you so much for sharing

[@BAGAKOOS]

How often should these spark plugs be replaced. I recently bought an ‘03 Toyota Tacoma with about 135k miles on it and everything works fine, it’s my backup vehicle. But I’m wondering what time of preventative maintenance I should look into doing. Thanks.

[@RacingPepe]

It's 18640 miles generally (converted from kilometers so weird number). But if everything works fine you really don't need to. Since you just bought the car you could just pull out 1 or 2 and do a visual inspection. If they have a light brown coffee hot chocolate kind of color you're good to go. If they are greasy or very dark brown / black you will want to replace them and look for the cause. There is always a cause.

[@anwarbhatti1400]

What is the fuel average per litre in city and high way

[@chitoflores4799]

Great video sir.

[@billmoore7305]

👍Thank you sir!

[@thebrowithnoname1703]

Anyone know torque specs for a 2003 Taco 4 cylinder (2.4)?

[@cabbott8]

Excellent detail.

[@PNWTraveler]

Would the NGK laser platinum #4302 spark plugs also work?

[@backyardchevy328]

Yes, those will work fine as well

[@godis...7837]

Great video again BYC.

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 very much appreciated

[@champasackniladet4261]

It’s great video, thanks

[@damian9414]

If anyone has trouble with ignition coil boot becoming stuck I used a pair of pliers and twisted until it became loose do not pull them out they will tear

[@onmyway2heaven]

Thank you 😊

[@ilblues]

Thank you.

[@santiagonovelo5747]

I lose the spark plug connection cables

[@energy_sage]

Replaced the plugs and the truck idles horribly, almost stalling out. What happened the job isn’t that complicated

[@solaireofastora2959]

Did you ever get this solved? I encountered the same issue.

[@SgtBergin]

Did you get it fixed. Might look a buildup around the throttle body.

[@flyingkangaroos1439]

Check and make sure you didn’t accidentally pop off or loosen a vacuum hose.

[@energy_sage]

@@solaireofastora2959 yes I did finally had to take it to a shop I couldn’t figure it out. They said I crossfired a vacuum line which doesn’t make sense. I made sure to put everything back how it was and even took photos for reference. Don’t know if what they told me was true and they just said that to get some money out of me but whatever they did fixed it.

[@CtznofEternity]

@@energy_sage I know this is late but I had the same issue. All I did was put 2 cans of B12 Chemtool Fuel Injector Cleaner after filling it with gas and it fixed the problem for me. If the fuel injectors are clogged then this could be something to troubleshoot.

[@full_metal_everything6929]

Helllooooo🥰

[@backyardchevy328]

Hey buddy🙂
