How often should I replace spark plugs on my 08 Scion XB?

[@webbie1891]

I replaced all my 02 oxygen sensors on my 2002 Infiniti i35 for the total of $136. Now it's running like the day it was shipped out of the manufacturer factory. The dealership and chain auto repair shops was quoting me between $233-478 per sensor. Thanks Scotty for your helpful tips 👍🏾👌🏾

Almost the same with me; I replaced both my O2 sensors and Hitachi maf mass air flow sensor and ran awful. I unplugged the maf and drove it for 10 minutes and plugged back in. Runs great! Scotty is the best! 🥇

Then changed coil pack. As a last resort changed #3 plug(plugs were changed about 6 months earlier). Turned out to be the plug. Never would have thought that because of the intermittent occurrence.

Mr. Kilmer, I called my local mechanic shop and asked them how much for a fuel filter change in my 07 Camry base model with 79,500 miles for preventative maintenance. They said it would cost you $350.00 for the parts and labor. They were also hesitant and said they wanted to do a diagnostic test first. Thoughts on the price and "diagnostics." Car has no issues other than stupid TPMS light.

[@bobmcdonald2905]

Wife bought a small RV based on a 2000 Ford E350 Super Duty 6.8 V10 Took it on a long trip, at the end of the first day it had a strange missfire that went away. The next day it started missing going up a hill. Acted to me like a lack of fuel. Replaced the fuel filter in the parts store parking lot.Ran fine most of the next day. Starting missing again under a load.Took it to a Ford dealer. They said it had a miss on one cylinder. They changed one spark plug and one coil. I planned to repace the rest when we got home. Ran good the next day started running rough toward the end of the day. Got it to an independant shop. The replaced the other 9 spark plus and coils. When they were done it still had a miss and they said it needed a catalytic convertor. We got the rig to our destination. I dropped the convertor for a visual inspection. Found nothing wrong with it. On the way home it , was intermittantly running bad. Took it to another ford dealer where they determined it had a bad fuel pump, which turned out to be the problem all along. Now running great. Was an expensive trip.

I had a bad ignition coil and only changed that one. They are $90 each. Three in the back are really hard to get to so I'm just going to replace them as they fail. The beauty cover had to be broken off too. It is off now for good. It was a hassle. My next car might be only a four cylinder.

The store manager snagged the keys, while I offered her a cup of fresh coffee. She had just picked up the sugar shaker when he brought her keys to her, telling her she was all set (grinning from ear to ear, of course).

Personally I chalk up the crappy traffic in Charlotte to yes the gridlock, but also we have an abnormal amount of New Jersey transplants and those people drive like 485 is the Fury Road. Atlanta, on the other hand, has much thicker traffic but for the most part,I found drivers down there to be more considerate. The law they have that the left lane is for passing and then you GTFO of it ASAP helps a bunch. In Charlotte people camp the left lane even if they're going under the speed limit. It's insane.
