Detailed Spark Plug Replacement Toyota Corolla 1998 - 2002

[@lobost12]

thank you for this. i managed to fix my old toyota with new spark plugs and now it drives like a dream.

[@greetingsfromchilliwack5702]

100km later this video is the best! I've got 354,000km on my old Corolla. Yup, it's an oil burner but in 5 years I've had no breakdowns, no repairs, just one brake job cuz it's a standard :)

[@eliz4micor]

So, I am watching this video because my husband's 1999 Toyota Corolla SE has its "check engine light" on, has shown that there is a "P0302" code issue, and has failed its emission test. So, we are going to .... well my HUSBAND is going to ... follow your video and change his own (his car's) spark plugs. Thanks a lot!

[@SanchoNacho]

Thank you for posting this video I changed the spark plugs and clean the maf sensor, and now it pulls faster than before

[@SalandFindles]

Whew, Lad! Address that positive battery terminal at once! I just bought a 2002 Chevy Prizm and it was exactly like that. I read it's from the alternator overcharging the battery and it's copper sulfate. That was the first bit of work I did to the car. I scraped every bit of scrapable corrosion off, then used that Noco battery acid neutralizer spray on it. One other thing I'll mention is you put way too much anti-seize lubricant on those threads. Most mechanics just say not to even use it on spark plugs. Don't really want them lubricated and able to back out due to vibration anyway.

Great video! Very easy to duplicate in action! And very happy birds around that area where he's doing the work LOL

[@carolinrodriguez5248]

Before you get started removing the cover, disconnect the battery cable.

[@JuanPerez-kv4ew]

That is right, because the computer adapts faster to the optimal settings. 😀

[@henryleyva9.22]

Thanks alot bro m life saver. They were quoting me 246$ for parts and labor

[@robreese1373]

Please tell me the exact/ tools size(is it metric ?) of spark plugs removal / installation and can i just use any small vacuum to remove the debris ?

[@Brookside975]

I thought NGK recommends no anti-seize?

[@moseshernandez5667]

My autozone doesn’t carry those ngk ifr5t11 sparkplugs, any recommendations on what other sparkplugs I should use?

[@Themostrelentlessronin]

great video I watch you and Chris fix too both great how can I get my hands on an air blower or vacuum you mentioned in the beginning to clean the cyljnders

[@jesse2467]

Thanks man, really made this job easy.

[@coloradoboo1071]

Great job and fine camera shots! (I would remind folks to always let the engine get cold before starting this.) Question: Don't we need to put a dab of dielectric grease inside the coil pack before reinstalling it?

[@imperial73]

Great video. No offense, but those are not "coil packs". They are individual coils. A coil pack is an ignition coil for all of the plugs with 4, 6 or 8 contacts.

[@calvinma9493]

+chasiu75 Should i worry if one of the bolts doesn't tie down the coils since i probably stripped it? The bolts I am talking about is in time 3:22 of the video.

[@chasiu75]

Not ideal but the fit is tight enough on the spark plug that it should be okay. If you start getting a misfire you will know where to check.

[@calvinma9493]

Thank you for the fast reply!

[@oz-ni3vw]

what size extension bar are you using? I found a 12 inch bar on amazon 3/8 with the 5/8 magnetic plug puller, then a 3/8 drive torque wrench set. my plugs are on the way. i need the wright extension bar length. oz

[@straightedgereviews8946]

I have the 2000 Chevy prizm same scenario .my engine light comes on sometimes and it said random misfires will this take care of it I hope

[@chasiu75]

Yes, but it could be a damaged spark plug wire also. You can do a ohms test with a meter. I recommend OEM wires.

[@straightedgereviews8946]

Does it have plug wires it has same engine and same set up

[@chasiu75]

Actually if the same as this one no. It would be a coil pack issue. No spark plug wires. You can try the spark plug first. If that doesn't work you will need to isolate which coil pack is failing.

[@evan937]

Hmm I always thought the factory plugs were Denso iridiums.

[@comocabron]

They are...lol

[@adamal4856]

You don't need music on this video 😂 that bird already making nice music

[@jamieolson20]

I'm having trouble removing my clip so I was watching intently and just about the time you undid the 1st clip you had your hand entirely covering the clip and I couldn't see what you did to get the clip off

[@mimbriglio96]

Everyones always talking about these engines burning oil and needing a rebuild. I see so many of these cars for sale with well over 200k on them. Mines might use maybe a half quart between oil changes. It calls for thin 5 30 oil, Go a little thicker with a quality 10 30 weight oil, keep an eye on the level and youll be fine.

[@evan937]

I have a 2000 Corolla with 225k. After over five years of ownership she still doesn't burn a drop of oil. I believe that although they had a piston design flaw, with proper maintenance and care they can last a long time. :)

[@Jiixr]

My 2001 corolla has 264k miles on it runs like a champ still

[@edwardwaldron7813]

I have a 2000 Corolla with only 40k miles my check engine light came the code came with a rapid mid fire would spark plugs be an issue?? It was my grandmas car we believe spark plugs were never changed

[@Jaguar1314]

Mine gave me 325,000 miles, didnt check oil a d engine seized, but it was time for it to rest

[@SpyoneMr]

What sensor (white small box shaped)is to the right of oil cap?

[@hippiehawk6860]

I am too. Please tell me when you find out. Mine is completely broke off

[@ty-launax3676]

Does the ngk irridum ix come already anti-seized? or i would have to get some antiseize myself

[@greetingsfromchilliwack5702]

Just bought a 2001 Corolla and this video is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent detailed instructions. Was that a vacuum or air compressor you used? thanks very much

[@chasiu75]

Julie Bishop Compressed nitrogen.

[@luckydragonaaaa]

Does anyone know the proper torque for a 2005 Toyota Corolla? Looking online I get both 18lb ft and 13lb ft

[@moneygaming1361]

Ik this is really late but do u need the grease or whatever it is to put on the spark plugs?

[@stevejette2329]

Bought a 2001 Celica. Couldn't find the right PCV valve. It's an engine for a Corolla or Matrix ! How can I find casting numbers on 1.8 ? If in back on drivers side, I have tried and can't see it anywhere. Thanks !

[@anthonytran98290]

Good job buddy

[@desirockstar2776]

My Corolla 2009 is showing engine light, with cylinder 2 misfire... what to do with this ?? Is it something serious ??

[@chasiu75]

Probably worn out spark plugs or spark plug wires. Stick with Denso and OEM.

[@desirockstar2776]

chasiu75 my mechanic is saying ur car is already 2.25K driven, it is recommended to change ??

[@chasiu75]

@@desirockstar2776 Yes

[@MuhammadAbuGhannam-ec8jq]

I have a 1998 Toyota Corolla. I have a problem. It won't start. It hits the starter and sparks for three seconds, then it doesn't start.

[@hippiehawk6860]

What is the name of the rail you took off , I am looking for the electrical connections to that.

[@brauliomartinezpaneque857]

That was undoubtedly a good car back in the year 2000 but they gave those engines serious oil consumption problems due to the design of their pistons, pity that the repair is so expensive because they really gave a great service for more than 15 years or 250,000 km .

[@hippiehawk6860]

I had a 7th generation, I loved that pony

[@alejandroandresrodriguezgu2892]

Does anyone know what the tool he used to mesure the presure was?

[@Qvaw]

A torque wrench

[@Chicag0FB]

do they have to be iridium? i bought the ngk platinum alloy spark plugs instead

[@imperial73]

I have a P0303 code and am going to check my plugs tomorrow, I'll bet they're worn or fouled. I'm not going to buy plugs till I see what's in there. I really don't want to have to buy iridiums.

[@SnarkyRC]

Platinums work great. That's what I have in my Corolla

[@8EN1TO3]

Hey on one of my coil packs, the bolt that tightens it won't tighten. Right now the coil pack is in but its loose because of this bolt. I took the pack out and the bolt was able to tighten in the hole so I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?

[@chasiu75]

Sounds like the threads can grab deeper and not striped. Maybe try a slightly longer bolt from the hardware store.

[@8EN1TO3]

@@chasiu75 thank you. Going to try that first thing in the morning. I just hope I don't damage anything from driving it with it not tightened down.

[@chasiu75]

@@8EN1TO3 It grips the spark plug good. You should be fine until you get a slightly longer bolt.

[@billreinhart5495]

thanks. great video. helps a lot

[@officialmetroplexman3088]

This helped thanks for the vid

[@DougHinVA]

Some plugs show on the box NOT to use anti-seize. Follow that... not a video.

[@samzchang]

Good

[@godspeed2145]

I'm pretty sure that torque spec is including the anti seize application

Who starts a video when their entire lawn care service shows up and makes so much noise you can barely hear the dialogue? And then it starts to rain??? Are you serious? Great video otherwise.
