How to change spark plugs Tacoma 4 cylinder engine 2TR-FE

[@ryanmartinage]

Love the 4 cylinder tacomas. Tough little trucks. You’re not going anywhere fast but you will get there!

[@eggshen4762]

Thanks bud. You saved me. I was losing power and changed coils and plugs. Now my toy is purring like a kitten. Thanks again 🙏🏼

[@efil4kizum]

how much mileage were on those coils?

[@alabama2uz]

Glad to see you back. I finally found a "toyota guy" here that seems to care about quality.

[@Charlie_Crown]

The Car Care Nut KZbin channel also has excellent Toyota content, well worth checking out 👍

[@joshuaschumacher2720]

Perfect step by step instructions, im changing mine out in my 09 taco MT tomorrow and I am going to watch this again while I do it. I do wish you would have started it up when you were done but thats not a big deal.

[@ohernrf]

More 2TRFE videos, please! Would love a serpentine belt change tutorial… 😅 Thanks for sharing the great content!

[@LAactor]

If it comes back into the shop and needs it he can film it. But those are easy. Just like other Toyo engines, ratchet on the tensioner and off it comes.

[@02markcal]

I have replaced my serpentine belt a few times, from experience owning a 15-year-old Tacoma, when doing this job go with an OEM belt and make sure to either take a picture of the belt routing or make a quick diagram before removing it.

[@efil4kizum]

What if you have only real honest use of one arm because using the other leads to neck paralization, is it that very ezpz then?

[@jasoncy31]

Thank you! I have the exact same model (manual and everything) and mine has 188k miles on it. I changed the plugs at 110k and it's hesitating while accelerating now, so I'm going to try and change the plugs again before I take it to a mechanic. You made it look easy! Thanks so much!

[@Thanks4How2Videos]

Thanks so much! I was actually able to change the spark plugs on my Tacoma myself without wasting money at a garage and without any issues.

[@LAactor]

I would not doubt you were the person who cleaned the throttle body. I had a good mechanic like you once when I was very young. He cleaned it and took care of me before I knew. All I said was it would not start sometimes after immediately running. Hot soak. So he cleaned it to try to help.

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Thank you, Peter! We have this same engine in our 2015 🌮 2WD. We may come back to this video some day. ❤❤❤

[@gvi341984]

The last great Toyota engines that are easy to repair without weird plastic oil cans

[@paulseifert9554]

Way to go Petr. With your exhaustive entertaining video I tackled spark plugs & coils on my 2007 Toyota Tacoma. Runs like a champ. Many thanks!!

[@blkdog40]

Great video! Clear, step by step instructions. I really appreciate it and will be changing the plugs on my 2013 2.7l regular cab with a manual transmission soon.

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Toyotas are without a doubt, my favorite vehicles to own, work on, and film!

[@thomashudak7939]

Great video! I am lucky to have this engine in my 2017 Taco SR. Hope to see more videos in the future on the 2TR- FE. Possible engine coolant replacement. Thanks again.

[@ManuelFlores-z3d]

Thanks for sharing ur experience…. Now I learn how to change the spark plugs…. I can change my Toyota spark plug in the future……👍

[@FUBARtractors]

Hi Peter! A good hack for fixing a broken plastic vacuum port is using a 3/16” dia pop rivet with a 3/4” long barrel, remove the stem, open up the hole in the box with a #13 drill. Then press in the pop rivet from the inside and push the hose on as normal while holding the pop rivet with needle nose on the outside or fingers on the inside.

[@efil4kizum]

its an 87$ part after online OEM discounters ... MSRP is 130$

[@maxxbrummer2521]

Thanks for making these videos! Especially on the harder to find videos like the manual 2tr-fe

[@wudger901]

Thanks for finally highlighting my engine!

[@rightlanehog3151]

Petr, With 188,000 miles on this engine, we can expect to see it back in your shop around 300,000 for a new set of spark plugs.

[@efil4kizum]

plugs don't last that long, do they?

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@efil4kizum The Denso Iridium plugs in this engine will.

[@efil4kizum]

@@rightlanehog3151 is there a part# for those? are these the same you can order from dealer for about 7$ each after their online discount of 31% off

[@jasoncy31]

Manual says the 2.7l needs to have the plugs changed every 30k, which seems soon IMO, but they're only $30 for a set of four, so why not?

[@bryanfralin4075]

Very very helpful. I followed him step by step and took my time. My engine runs great. I was able to save a ton of money. Thank you so much.

[@LAactor]

Something helpful too is on the install of a *new* sparkalater ;) there will be a new crush washer at the seat of the plug. I can actually feel it crushing and pretty much exactly 130° is always when the feel of the crush washer will stop crushing and immediately give a resistance where you will know without a doubt that is where to stop.

[@billsimpson604]

Peter's new shop is so quite he could hear a screw drop.

[@ElectoneGuy]

For me, NGK > Denso in everything including lawn mowers, trimmers, snowblowers and cars. NGK also has a long and storied history in motor racing.

[@donkarnes5946]

Enjoyed the video, great detail and instruction. I feel sure that I can do it on my own Tacoma.

[@darolfitch8917]

Thank you for the video, going to do maintenance on my little truck. and this is going to help me.

[@ChrisVargasrpht2000chris]

Awesome Job Peter. Congrats on the new shop. 👍

[@BlackSheepHB]

I did this job today on my Toyota Truck today. It took about an hour and a half. The hardest part is getting the dam electrical connectors off of the coils. Grrrrr.

[@efil4kizum]

what was the issue with them?

[@rossedwardmiller]

4cyl 4wd manual is a nice set up. I'd daily that.

[@paulodisano502]

Great job Petr. Cheers my friend.🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@LAactor]

Sorry didn't mean to scare you when I screamed for you to put the coils in their right places. You almost hit your head on the hood!! 😂🤣

[@LAactor]

I watch his channel a lot too! I'm a "top fan" on his page and he likes when I use his words and it reminds him to say them in his videos haha. I said recently on a preview post of his, "but I got to, I'm looking straight at it!" And he used it. No coincidence. Happened many times. I think he appreciates me helping his fanpage. I would encourage you also to get onboard for the FB video postings because they give out a lot of money right now for content makers. All you need to do is post there as well and the views come in. I cannot donate enough to you to make the equal amount of money that you can make on posting your videos to FB. Hopefully that brings you a lot of revenue. You can pay me back someday after your first few thousand or so with helping me chase this clunk in my suspension. ;)

[@LAactor]

I worked on an engine 1MZ-FE for a while few years ago. It was liek 15 yrs old at the time. Almost every single connector tab I touched and squeezed like that it broke except for one (maybe replaced long ago before) and one or two that had fipg or rtv on it to hold it on. Luckily it never seemed to go loose. The connector is hardened and seemed to just have memory to hold on even with normal engine vibrations.

[@cedergrenpeter]

Amazing video! Thank you so much for being so clear; well explained with your words and the video to make this easy to understand!

[@a1parra]

Absolutely loved your video! Thank you

[@Latarian_HoodRat]

I thought you lost it for a minute, Peter!!

[@JS-bp3up]

Picked up a 2013 2.7 with only 28k miles. With the ac on and going up hills it is definitely surging quite a bit. Not many miles but it might be wise to change them.

[@jakeperez6556]

You should make more videos this was so helpful

[@johnsilva2846]

Thanks Peter, I appreciate your video! I have the same 2.7 engine in my 2007 Tacoma. What would be the problem if there was oil on the coils?

[@jmmyjobob9851]

Cool thanks :) ! I appreciate your work I think it's fun to learn

[@LAactor]

The rubber ring you mentioned is called a #grommet. Yes it is made of rubber. It's very convenient.

[@marcbarry6347]

Very nice job and well defined

[@kalaikauai808]

You make the best videos! Thank you my friend 🙏

[@elifalatko1005]

Great video, very helpful. Thanks

[@Jimii89]

Love this channel

[@donhatcher9796]

Since the spark plugs may be in there for a long time before they are replaced , is it a good idea to put anti-seize on the threads?

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing this video, what kind of impact gun you using on this video

[@LAactor]

Let me add something, I was the one who suggested you use your whole hand to focus the close up details. I believe it is the additional light on the edges of the frame in general that is confusing your camera. Overexposure in those areas. Maybe you can frame it so there is not so much of the shop on the edges that bounces the light into the lens. That was the first time you had focus problems in this video where it would not work. The second time is on your tray stand. For that I believe the shallow angle plus the lighting was to blame. I would suggest different angles. Maybe it was just chance luck that it was the only angle it had trouble. I don't know if you shoot manual ISO but that and aperture can be some settings that can help. But I really like the picture as is. Maybe if you are doing a tray demonstration point the camera more down into the tray and hopefully that is the correct guess to make it focus correctly. If not, try different things. It's okay, settling into a new place takes time.

[@Markicjusz]

Nice video. I would like to visit your shop with my 2007 Toyota Camry XLE with 172 000 miles on it but first I'll have to move to USA;) We will see....

[@laredoland]

Thank you. Should the engine be completely cold or does it make a difference?

[@02markcal]

Yes, the head is aluminum.

[@peterrudy9207]

2:45 At least once a year I will power wash my engine compartment and let it dry . Then to liberally spray 303 Protectant on the whole engine compartment . To help plastic and rubber parts / compnents from drying out and cracking .

[@allenlark]

omw gonna get coffee. what you want from sparplucks?

[@perovato02]

Thank you very much for the vedio 😁

[@ezekiell.giddings3267]

I like watching your videos, very informative. Buy the way, what's the spark plug gap on those plugs? Thanks Zeke

[@hmongoutdoors]

Can you do a a video in how to adjust/ install a clutch pedal to the master cylinder? My mechanic mess up my clutch pedal. I have to lift it up clutch pedal so there's no compression.

[@dan6341]

I have the exact truck. Can’t figure out how the hydraulics work for the clutch??

[@LimitedWarranty]

Great video thx

[@Delmar829]

Great words tyvm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GuitarAudiologist]

Sparkalators, check. But what is all this digical wizardry? No lightning whirler? Help me understand... where's the fuel-make-it-happener? I can't believe it, but I guess I gotta, I'm lookin right at it. LoL, couldn't resist. thanks for the video!

Were you talking a Puddin' Fab shop or Vice Grip. Puddin' is very entertaining.

[@marwanjleid5712]

Doesn't come with the 3RZ?

[@bux49]

What is the cold start-up RPM on this engine. Mine starts at 2000 rpm for a minute when idles down to 800 rpm.

[@alibabaschultz352]

Thats normal

[@webfxmedia]

Is this the same instructions for the 2021 Tacoma SR5 with X-2TR-FE 4cyl? Can I use these same spark plugs?

[@noahtaylor90]

6.1qt? I’ve always read 5.5qt for the 2tr-fe.

[@ScarlettAtl15]

What size is the magnetic socket? The one to remove the spark plugs?

[@Chap1nest]

I need to change the trans fluid on my 2015 Toyota Tundra. Where is your shop?

[@efil4kizum]

northern CA?

[@kevinlatham5661]

engine cold, remove and replace one plug at a time, only one plug hole to worry about for foreign objects, insert new plug on length of fuel hose, engage threads by hand pressure only , torque up when fully seated by hand . fuel hose will slip if thread not correctly engaged.

[@HanifEFIMechanical]

Good work

[@FredTheLutinoCocatiel]

Vise Grip garage yes Petr very funny guy.

[@samh6761]

I was yelling at the screen, LOL

[@tedaut]

why do you prefer denso over ngk plugs ?

[@juancubias573]

I need your help

[@LAactor]

I would advise you not to travel to get his help. Logistics can be difficult and if a part is a week away, it would be bad for you. Spending a week in a hotel would cost more than your local mechanic. Eric O said, don't expect KZbin video makers to be miracle workers. But you can still try. Just that most times, things don't work out if it is too complicated logistically.

[@johnlacroix1639]

WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work

Where are you located

[@LAactor]

Northern California. Where are you located?

[@jessemontenegro1913]

hello I have a tacoma 2012 and need to do some service where is your shop can you give your address

[@DSPNWtoCali]

Hello sir, You think AutoLite spark plugs are any good for Toyota. I ask because I have a 13 Toyota Sienna and hate thinking about replacing it and the cost for NGK or Denso are so expensive. So will AutoLite decent?

[@02markcal]

I would only use what brand Toyota recommends in your owner manual, Autolite is not recommended.

[@xaviers9461]

I change my spark plugs, and now I’m losing power and my engine is rockin a little bit when I don’t accelerate

[@xaviers9461]

What do you recommend? Should I change the coil plugs to?

[@Mrtslizzle]

I guess I don't gab to new spark plugs..

[@gitch64]
