2001 Toyota Avalon Spark Plug Replacement

In this video I'm replacing the Spark Plugs on a 2001 Toyota Avalon.
I did my best in recording this job. The batteries in my camera wasn't working properly but i believe I got the point across. I hope this video helps you out. Thank you for watching!

The more I watch spark plug replacement videos, I just tell myself to pay someone else for the headache. I know my way around tools but I don't want the frustration right now lol

[@NoneMechanic101]

4 cylinders are much easier. 🔧

[@deweywhatley6952]

i got misfire on 1, 3, 5, but i am hopeing it is the vct (oil control valve) i do not have the patience for the back ones. i will have to pay someone to do that

[@NoneMechanic101]

Many times when the oil control valve is replaced. Everything else clear up. Let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching.

[@muccigane2351]

Same.

[@paulwieben4948]

Thanks Hector , what patience ! I have a beautiful 2004 Florida Avalon xls with 66000mi . -- And I use to think it was tough replacing 8 plugs on my 74 Imperial --- lol !!

[@NoneMechanic101]

You're welcome

[@Kp-tz9gp]

I changed my spark plugs, coils and changed my oil on my 2002 Avalon for the first time. Thank you for having these videos. They gave me the confidence to do it! The back ones are tuff but just take your time

[@NoneMechanic101]

Glad to help. Thank you for watching👍👊

[@ManicMechanic007]

If all of the coils are cracked you may get P0300 through P0306 codes (misfire codes) depending on the severity of the crack. Good work Hector.

[@NoneMechanic101]

I was waiting for someone to answer the question for me. Thank you! 007 to the rescue.

[@shanelleg9865]

That toyota logo on top actually acts like a screw. You can turn it to loosen the cover, then u can remove its covering.

[@NoneMechanic101]

Thank you👍

[@genebuenas1263]

This is the best explanation I have ever watched, thank you bro, I will try to change the coils and spark plugs Tomorrow,

[@NoneMechanic101]

Thank you. I appreciate it your comment 🔧

[@jaylafond9795]

Mine just started misfiring ( cylinder 5 an 6 ). Bought new plugs. Hopefully when i get to change them the coils are messed up. They are $78 each

[@NoneMechanic101]

Let me know how it goes🔧

[@a1guy524]

bro......you broke the hell outta that cover.

[@NoneMechanic101]

Ye I know🤦‍♂️

[@adamkeosombath5390]

I can't seem to get the back ones off. Unfortunately, I don't have all of the proper tools.

[@NoneMechanic101]

The back one are a little tuff but it can be done with the proper tools.

[@monstersofthemidway7125]

Great explanation. I just completed changing my 1, 3 & 5 cylinder plugs and coil packs. The only additional thing I did was to remove the hood. Removing the hood only involved 4 bolts, 2 small hood shock mounting clamps (1 per shock) and disconnecting the washer hose. This only took 5 additional minutes and it made the entire job much, much easier with the greatly improved access.

Those cracked coils need to be replaced for sure. you make your videos with your phone and not a camera?

[@NoneMechanic101]

A 6 coil pack is 225.00 dollars. I use my camera. I don't know what happen all 3 of mine battery die on me.☹

Code P0330 on 2001 Avalon w/ 286k miles. It's either spark plugs, (cracked) ignition coils, or...oxygen sensor? LUV ur video!! thank you!

[@ziggyperez2372]

Don’t know how in the world you was able to change the spark plugs back there I will have been thinking twice especially in this weather👏👏

[@NoneMechanic101]

It was cold but I was trying to do it before the storm hit. I did it. I think the camera was more cold then me. lol

[@koreymayo8884]

P0303 is a misfire code which definitely can happen from a bad coil. I recommend replacing iridium spark plugs, wires, and coil packs every 100,000 miles.

[@NoneMechanic101]

You absolutely correct. Thank you.

Thank you for your great video!!!! I appreciate all of your help!!!!😊😊😊😊

[@allthewayupx]

Hey, i know it’s quite late but just wondering what that hose is ( the one near oil filler cap connected horizontally onto the top of the engine) actually mine was disconnected and i had a lot of shaking and misfire so i tested it myself and it was disconnected even the mechanics were unable to figure it out as they say it was vvt ( oil control valves)

[@NoneMechanic101]

I so sorry I don't remember.

[@JetJamez]

Doing the knock sensors (a pain in the you know what) right now so I may as well do these spark plugs while everything is disassembled. Great vid man!

[@NoneMechanic101]

I haven't done the knock sensor. I will keep in mind what you said. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it🛠

[@johnsheldon7716]

Don't you want to replace the oil cap to prevent debris from getting in?

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes, you should always put the oil cap back on to prevent debris from getting in. Thank you.

[@realtrubro]

I changed 1 spark plug and my car runs completely different. Thanks for the help

[@NoneMechanic101]

You're welcome👍

[@KellysCookin]

They sure don't make it easy to get to those back spark plugs. What would cause all the back coils to crack?

[@NoneMechanic101]

I believe the coils crack because they never have been change and also because of the heat. This car has almost 180,000 miles on it.

Thanks for the Great Video Sir! I just did the spark plugs on my 2000 avalon xls. I watched another yt vid saying to remove the whole intake from manifold. I found your video too late... 😤.. But you left out the hugest hurdle.. How did you remove that bolt from that flat bracket in back next to cylinder 1? That was my issue. What tool did you use? It's a terrible spot for a bracket and bolt. I also broke my pcv valve trying to remove to replace it. Now to harbor freight for cheap tools for one time use.. LOLOL Keep these Avalon Video coming.. Mine has 93000 miles and things are breaking.. 👍👍👍

You may be great at replacing spark plugs - but you need a lesson in taking covers off. The Toyota emblem screws off.

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes you're correct. I messed up🤦

[@jonlejcar5306]

You from new York?

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes. I'm

[@electric8668]

I would have moved all coils in the front to the rear to replace the cracked ones. That way it;s easier to replace if the cracked ones are bad.

[@NoneMechanic101]

Thanks👍
