U should prolly call a shop near you, not every shop will give u the same quote...u should look into DIY there are threads here for them

you should do them yourself..

i do wish the 2jz had the driver side intake like the gte motor, my buddys supra looks a lot easier to do simple stuff... and whats up with the tb wobbles when you move it? i thought i broke it last night lol


you just unscrew the coilpacks, pull, and get a sparkplug socket down there and turn.. its really easy to do
shops will prolly charge about 2 hours labor to do them on your car, so between 70-90$ an hour, depends where you live and the shop

Very easy job, save yourself the hassle of driving to a shop and paying them labor. Do it yourself. Learn now and never have to pay to get it done ever again.

It's easy to do it just look harder than what it is. There's a few dyi that can help you out try my.is.net or just search goggle you'll get step by step with pic and or vids to help. I'm sure you don't mind paying someone else to do the job but you will never know that great feeling of pride knowing that you just fix or change something on your car.

Unhappy Change spark plugs for dummies (me)

Could someone please tell me how to change spark plugs (step by step detail). I had a small stroke and it effected the retain info, but if i have step by step directions i know i could do it myself. I do not want to take to a shop the cheapest i found was $120 for parts and labor. Thank you! 2001 IS 300 Lexus 6.0 cylinder
