How To R&R Spark Plugs & Wires on Toyota 5VZ-FE 3.4L V6

[@hectormiguel9201]

Señorita Hadley tiene usted una manera muy peculiar de enseñar mecanica pero esa es la forma correcta de efectuar un trabajo automotriz . Have a nice and wander full eyes.

[@johnr.6029]

WOW. You are easy to listen to and easy to understand. And your presentation style was very relaxed, and calm. The music was a nice addition, not obnoxious like many other videos. Thank you.

[@richardcabitto5108]

I, as a mechanic and 02’ x-cab TRD manual owner 150% agree with this statement!!! Such a pleasant experience listening and watching Faye who is quickly become a modern legend. Very nice. Cheers!

[@williamgriffin8695]

Love your videos, just found you on KZbin... You inspire me(I'm a retired mechanic😋)... I show my daughters your content, such a great role model for young women, nevermind your awesome skill in mechanics and how you articulate the job at hand.

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@asseater1895]

[@kyleberlin6990]

Shes the best. i hope you are doing well faye

[@dendy260]

I have a 2004 Tacoma with the 3.4. I have watched ALL your videos. I work on power lines, I am NOT a mechanic. Your videos have helped me out so much. Thanks. You have the best personality-

[@FayeHadley]

I am so glad that you have found them helpful, thank you!!

[@chrischrisman4931]

Thank you, Faye! That was a great tutorial and well produced. I appreciated how you focused on the work at hand and clearly filmed and explained it. Now I'm looking forward to replacing my plugs!

[@sonicspectrum7130]

3:10 Replacing one spark plug at a time can prevent one from confusing the plug cables. Reading the number on the cable can be difficult when its dirty and faded.

[@scientist100]

Just pull the diagram and stop this guessing nonsense. 😅

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Always inspiring to see a woman not afraid to do her own auto work. Thanks for the reminder that my new plugs are still in the box ready to bolt in. My timing belt is next. Ain't this a beautiful engine? I love my 2004 Tacoma 4x4 with manual transmission. You video was much appreciated.

[@FayeHadley]

Awww you have my dream truck!!! I want a manual and a 4x4 so bad!! Grim is neither, but I will swap him over some day!!!

[@kirkf10_official]

Just bought a 98 4 runner about a month ago and it had been running like it was misfiring but now I know when I replaced the wires I followed what was already on it and the firing order was wrong. Thank you, found your channel a couple weeks ago and been watching them all learning about this car. Keep making videos, you’re great!!

[@FayeHadley]

AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@kirkf10_official]

You’re very welcome, just switched them around and it’s running like new, previous owners had them crossed up bad and I was worried I was about to have to dump more money than I wanted to in it.

[@lanzotv]

I love, love, love your attention to detail and how you handle everything with care... You make things look so easy!

[@shultsy100]

Thank you, Faye. Your AMAZING. This is the second time I've made use of your excellent videos for my T100. Instructional, easy to understand and not a bunch of distracting b.s. going on as you explain things or some awful METAL blasting in the background. HATE that! Lastly, LOVE your style and ways. Your absolutely GORGEOUS!

[@warrenboling4136]

Faye, thanks so much for this video. I had a misfire in #6 and I thought I had carbon tracking but it did not show the black line on the plugs. As it turns out the plug wire socket has deteriorated and the spark was exiting the rubber jacket and grounding against the valve cover in the "tube". Replaced the wires and all good to go. Your video demystified the process of removing the plug wires. Awesome!

[@FayeHadley]

I am so glad it helped!! Thank you!!!!

[@peterzenner2020]

How did I never know the "hand tight and 1/4 turn" method of tightening the crush washer. Excellent. That alone made this entire video worth it.

[@danielmiller6405]

Change spark plugs on truck. Humm lots of videos. Super smart pretty girl. Let’s check this out. Wow! This gal knows her rig!! Thanks for sharing! Very helpful. Wishing you all the very best.

[@Asian_Connection]

OMG, I watch so many video on spark plug replacement. Your is the most detail and easiest to work with.

[@aplifesaparty]

Awesome video- super clear! I just got a new (to me) 04 Hilux with this engine and this has given me the confidence to tackle the spark plugs. Thank you!

[@MrDmitriko]

Nice job! Thank you for showing us how we can change them!

[@chrisdanner200]

Thank you for all of your 4Runner videos, they are incredibly helpful! Please keep them coming!

[@ConchaQuezada-x8y]

Great video Faye! i Just buy a 1996 4runner and i will replace spark plugs with your videos now i feel Morea confident keep the great work 😊

[@ejstills3946]

Wow! Great detailed how to! I cant believe ive never seen this video from you. Thank you for taking your time to make this. I will be doin my spark plugs this weekend and this really helped!

[@FayeHadley]

Hey, no problem!! Thanks for watching!

[@mauriciocastrorueda6011]

Thanks, this just saved me some money as in the car wash they washed the spark plugs and I didn’t know how to disassemble safely to dry them. Big thanks!

[@michaelblock3998]

So glad you have your channel!! My daughter has the same model 4Runner and I use your videos to help her. She lives in CO so I can’t be there to help. Thank you!! Besides she can relate more to you than some old guy like me.

[@chrisburger4518]

Another excellent video on the 3rd gen 4Runner! I have a '01 3400 4Runner. I was chasing down a slight engine stumble just off of idle and only when heavy throttle was applied. I added a TPS, and that helped a bit but... I checked the plugs, and they were very worn - probably original at 144K miles. I installed the proper factory plugs and the stumble and unsteady acceleration are history. Runs like a new engine.

[@bastianbeats9167]

God bless you. My 4 runner can actually keep up with traffic now 🤣

[@JohnnyLandscape]

Thanks,Faye! Great presentation.Great visability and camera placement.I have a 2004 3.4L and I'm just gonna go for it and refer to your videos on this engine.I need to do the timing,ignition coils,and valve cover gaskets.

[@wbwills2]

Learning as I go.getting better.pops was a salesman.WHY cldnt he have been a mechanically inclined person & why did I take wood shop in hs???!?.8 yr old daughter was hanging over the fender 1\2 the time.she will know this stuff!

[@davidswank886]

Hey Faye, thanks for the inspiration. Just did the plugs and wires on our 99 5VZ. No problems, and runs at least as well after the change. Keep up your good work.

[@MixagEQ]

I did it all by myself for the first thanks to your video, rock on!

[@BENELESACUTAJAR]

Thanks Faye you make it look pretty straight forward. My Prado is miss firing so I’m starting with the plugs and leads .maybe a coil pack after that.

[@cookingwithmicah5k]

Thank you, followed this to change my plugs and wires today after having a misfire.

[@matsuno415]

Thank you for another awesome video! Clear instructions and closeup camera angles to really see what is going on. So glad I found your channel!!!

[@FayeHadley]

Aww thank you!!!!😅

[@ericallaire8677]

Nice job. I like that you disconected the positive battery cable. Keep on!

[@MrSonnydays40]

Faye rockin' the OG hose clamps on the radiator...#Respect.

[@jimmoss9584]

What do you do to keep the valve cover glasket from leaking? Back in the 1970s on MGAs we used to use RTV over the gaskets to keep them from leaking.

[@patrickborgerding8681]

Thanks Faye! Great tip on moving that bracket to get at #6! Much easier that way!

[@ewarda100]

thanks Faye this was one of the best tutorial on changing 4Runner plugs.

[@bencahill5132]

Cheers mate from Downunder, doing valve cover gaskets, Icv, throttle body, timing belt, idler, tensioner, plugs, leads, coolant, cam seals, crank seal, hydraulic tensioner, brakes, oils etc had a tool made too for the crank holder, love your vids mate, sold my 2011 5 litre S/C tuned Jag, so all I have left is my 5VZ FE 99 Prado. Cheers for the easy listening and fun presentation style, Timmy drives me nuts🤣🤣🤣 love all the relevant 5vz tutorials, love your work mate. ....Well job is done, no issues but for the idiot who used loctite on the tensioner bolt and reversed the washer to stop it from moving.....seriously!!!

[@glennerwin9722]

Thanks Faye for the great video on the spark plugs, i had to pull mine to see which side my head gasket is blown on.

[@paulkaufman4901]

Really Nice Video! I appreciate the explanations you give as you do the work. One thing that would have helped me more would be seeing this in real time instead of speeding up the "mundane" because it helps me absorb the information better. You provided a lot of great information but, I will have to watch the video at least 2 more times to get everything. On another note, I love seeing a nice young lady working on cars! Women can do so much more than people give them credit for. Great job blasting through that barrier too!

[@FayeHadley]

Great tip - I will definitely do that in the future! Glad you liked the video!!

[@paulkaufman4901]

Your video was CLEARLY the best I watched on that subject. It was also far better than most others I have seen on other subjects. I would much rather hear relevant commentary than screaming loud bad “music”. Thanks again. You helped me walk right through that job today😊

[@8avexp]

When I replace spark plugs, I only pull one wire at a time as I change each plug. That way you know you won't get any wires crossed. In the olden days, a tune-up also involved replacing the points and condenser and adjusting the carburetor (what's a carburetor?:)). I'm old enough to remember that; in fact, I learned to drive on a carbureted vehicle.

[@allgoodgarden4719]

Thanks for the all the video series Faye. Just discovered you whilst working on my 02 Toyota Hilux (Tacoma) 2.7 3RZ boosted motor... doing a major overhaul all around.. mostly fuel system and reseal exhaust, fit new bigger fuel pump, looks like current one has died or could be a relay to it as its only 2yr old... and plenty of other servicing and parts getting replaced. Everything from PCVs to Oxy Sensors, just did coils and plug, rising rate fpr upgrade from smaller one, new fuel filter, bla bla.. Its a neat truck thats already totes done up. Many videos need to watch at moment. Very informative and with a female mechanics touch in yr workshop love it. Not that i need any info on plugging, i can do a damn good plugging with the best of em, but looking at vids with interest as yr working on Toyotas and i got alot to do, and some common parts and fixes :))

[@JK-xr2yv]

Hi Faye! I recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. Your Videos are very informative. I own a 3rd Gen 4Runner sr5 and I do most of the service on my vehicles myself. I love how Toyota built these vehicles to last, if you properly service it. learned a lot from your videos and thank you for the detailed information.

[@FayeHadley]

Thanks so much!

[@physics2817]

Started with the plugs…Ended up rebuilding the whole engine 😂😂 That’s one rough looking setup ya got there Faye 😇

[@Aged10Years]

Wow, your charisma is unreal and your smile is contagious! You’re quite the catch! Keep cranking!

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you!!!

[@Aged10Years]

Thank YOU!

[@raffieb762]

Cool, you are so organized and smooth, better than some of these knuckleheads that just confuse you, 👍

[@rippercoil]

Thought this video was a gimmick, I was wrong. Very helpful.

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you!!👍🏻

[@zacharylopez9711]

Why would you think it’s just a gimmick? Just because it’s a female doing it?

[@pradaxaboudraux368]

Pissed me off all your talki g while i was trying to get crap done however your video helped alot more than the other guys. TY

[@FayeHadley]

Glad it helped you! :)

[@SurlyBill963]

🤡

[@Ntyuask]

Great video! Easy and clear instructions. Thanks for sharing!

[@ruffu3]

Thanks for the video. Just completed plugs change on my beautiful 98 9" lifted tacoma.

[@johnmerchant9785]

Thanks, Faye! This is my 7th Taco but first time doing plugs on a 5vz. I am not a mechanic but work on all my cars and always watch a video or two before I dive in. This was helpful. And all things considered equal I'd much rather watch a hot chick than Bubba Asscrack.

[@vicmoro614]

i Iike your videos so much very informative amazing how much women have the capacity to do as well as most of the men out there keep it up Faye !

[@heathsmith3747]

Thanks for a great demo on doing plugs love it .. im on this job with confidence now ... awsome

[@mr_mnky]

I'm absolutely in love with this chick

[@caverpilot]

The package of the NGK 3967 (short taper) shows to tighten it 1/2 to 2/3s after finger tight, FYI

[@jayodon67]

Thank you so much for a great video!! From a new subscriber in Western Australia.

[@1970jstone]

That was awesome! You made it look REALLY easy...I'm sure I could get it done in...about 15 hrs! (If I'm lucky)

[@efil4kizum]

i LUV that Yota TrueStart battery!

[@FayeHadley]

Me too! So reliable!!!!!😃

[@efil4kizum]

@@FayeHadley my old Taco is needing a new battery one of these days (currently pushing almost 8 years on the DieHard brand) in the midWest climate... but since the Sears store i bot it from in 2o15 has been leveled to the ground i may goto the dealer for a TrueStart... about how many years do those Yota last in your hot climate?

[@domtam6571]

Thanks Faye, your video gave me the confidence to try this myself. Never too old to learn something new. Please keep posting. By the way can you post a link to where I can purchase the same wire set you installed. I own a 2000 Toyota Tacoma extended cab pick up with a 5VZ-FE 3.4L V6. Thanks you are an inspiration.

[@aliangdudu]

Spark Plug Wire Set Toyota Part Number: 1903762050

[@rrhistorian8828]

The Denso K16TR11 is a copper plug and should be replaced every 30,000 miles according to the Toyota factory service manual.

[@jeffkeryk3550]

Well done Faye. I spray A LITTLE WD-40 down the plug hole to clean the threads, and use just a taste of anti seize, same as you. I expect plugs to thread in easily by hand, or I find out why. Of course any excuse to use my inherited Snap On flex head torque wrench is welcomed... Thanks for the video. I am about to replace the coils on our trusty 2001 Tundra V8 with 200K.

[@stevanrose7439]

You must have had the plugs replaced not to long ago. I just bought a 2002 Tacoma and I’m changing the plugs and they are coming out hard. I’m using a spray oil and it helps but the new ones are getting a good dose of anti seize. So they will come out when it’s time.

[@caverpilot]

Thanks Faye! Love your style!!

[@BarnumsAnimals39]

Super job. Love yer style and following your process worked great. Thanks!

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing this video, awesome thanks 😊

[@brettflakemore4889]

What a legend well done mate great video 😘

[@beffiesv650]

I feel you on being paranoid about anything falling into the combustion chamber. I was swapping the carbs on a friend’s track bike and a small hose clamp fell into the front cylinder combustion chamber. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@jimmoss9584]

So, the bolt that holds the coil next to the firewall is stripped. My 4Runner has about 280,000 miles on it. The rest of the bolts are fine. Any ideas?

[@circuit-maker7971]

Great video, Faye!~ Looking forward to more. I have a 96 Tacoma with the same engine

[@FayeHadley]

Awesome!!!

[@iamtheman7018]

Fun Fact: These came factory equipped with NGK on one side and Denso on the other, for no particular reason. I cant' believe how you manage to pull things loose and disconnect stuff with so little effort. And no injuries. And nothing broke. Maybe its "boomer humor", but how awesome would it be to have a wife with your skills? Me: "Honey, can I borrow your torque wrench to tighten my spark plugs?" - Her: "No Honey - just hand tight plus half a turn is all you need" And if you (by some miracle) happen to read the comments on videos you made nearly two years ago, what are you standing on?

[@migzamillion2452]

You Are So Badass...Don't Ever Change ✊🏽😁!!!!

Great job Faye

[@dominicbassis4462]

Do you have any videos on replacing rocker cover gaskets and also rear axel seals. Thanks and great work.

[@cecilionation]

Fixed my ride. Thanks

[@ruddytshilumba3264]

Great job, can you please provide schema of wires and plug?

[@fknows1]

You cleaned up your intake tube, did you clean out the throttle body whilst you had the tube off ?. hope so for the amount of build up inside it

[@FayeHadley]

Yes!👍🏻

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing this video, great know how to do this job.

[@Leislady]

Thank you for this video- it was super helpful!

[@robinsonsauto]

Hey Faye 👍💪 great job!!!

[@rogerwolf4005]

Hey Faye, I know this is a older video, but do you need to check the gap on the spark plugs? I am a helicopter mechanic for over 30 years. I do enjoy your videos, and have owned several Toyota trucks over the years. You give great insights on how to do things on cars that I’ve never done before!

[@Christopher-nr1pz]

your vids are awesome!!

[@waltp3373]

Wouldn't it be a good idea to use a compressor and blow out around the plug before removing it so no crap falls into the cylinder? Especially the plug with the failed boot.

[@Asian_Connection]

I will be changing the sparkplugs tomorrow. Does the sparkplugs needs to be gapped?

[@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

[@jimpoteet1]

i got to do all this.. again, thanks... you are good...

[@markn0024]

Great video. But why didn't you clean the throttle body? Or did you, and you just didn't show it? Thanks.

[@hatedcritic8066]

HI there, appreciated the video. It looked like you replaced the whole cord set due to the one crunkled spark wire. Do you suggest replacing the whole set if one ignition coil needs to be replaced, or only the one connected to the ignition coil, or even just leave the wire set alone and simply replace the ignition coil? Thank you for any response.

[@edgaravilez2251]

"And my Shorty" @8:55 lol Thanks for the help

[@wbwills2]

Did mine yesterday.better.more to do..question.think it's called evap box.driver side.mine makes a buzz buzz buzz sound.ideas?thx

[@MD-eo2wy]

Are the densos better than the NGK iridium?

[@FayeHadley]

They're both equal in my opinion. Denso is factory, but NGK have been used factory by Toyota too! Can't go wrong with either!

[@wyattoneable]

Hi Faye. ozzstar and I are friends so I had to give him a hard time for beating me here. Thanks for the information and the steps taken for this job.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Cellmates.

[@stewartxp2400]

1:09 That 14mm bolt right there totally delayed the whole job for me. Couldn't get it loose, my 1/4 ratchet didn't have enough leverage, the 3/8 w/ adapter didn't fit, the wrench kept slipping. Eventually I said screw it, left the damn bracket on there and worked around it.

[@FayeHadley]

Oh, bummer! Loosening it definitely makes it easier. Bummed that yours is seized!! ☹️

[@gordonfuentes808]

awsum video very ez 2 follow along n very eduacational👊👍mahaloz n aloooooha💪

[@saifmo3259]

Thanks for the great video.

[@TheAngryFishh]

Do you need to remove all the stuff on the driver's side if only changing the wires?
