WHat tools do I need to replace the spark plugs?

Where are they? IM guessing theyre side mounted? I mean I can't see em, im used to seeing simple, intelligent placing of plugs right on the top of the banks.

Is it even possible to change em without working from under neath?

God im so frustated.

Please help me out.

 

follow the plug wires.



Do it with a friend that knows what they're doing and 'looking at' or take it to a shop if this is sumthing that needs to be done right away.


Then get a book and read up on this stuff for the 'next time'

Good luck

 

I got it, mkiv.com has a nice litle, guide, it turns out its under the throttle body.

I got the plugs, today im just going do the spark plugs, and air filter, early next week Ill do the cap, rotor and wires.

Then hopefully by end of month timing belt.

Thank god for mkiv.com, and its 2jz-ge section.

 

I moved all the the bolts except the last one that is under the throtle body in the worst possible place imaginable.

There is absolutely no room to work with I tried to remove the things that get in the way only to find that even the obstacles themselves are harder to remove.

IS there any chart anywhere on the internet describing how to remove the throttle body? I mean theres absolutely no room to work in. I taken out 5 lugs already its the inner most one right next towards the firewall.

I dont understand why the idiots decide to make plug change so incredible complicated. How incredibly assinine.

Worst thing I need this car running tommorrow.

Jesus Christ, I should gotten a domestic.

 

you dont have to start a thread everytime you want to ask a question about removing your plugs. this time i'll merge, next time i'll delete. Just post, it'll be OK people will see it, that's why we post here in the first place. you have a thread going on this, that's where this threads is being merged.

 

Im sorry, its just that im really stressed out and I absolutely need to finish this car by today. And its already 11:41.

Honestly, I wonder if this little backroom of the forum theylll even notice it. Hell I never even noticed this section until now....

I can't believe how complicated something that should be a 5 minute process can be. I cannot get the last bolt off, if there is an easier way, PLEASE HELP!!!

 

Everything will be exposed, so you may as well change the wires n stuff while you're at it....

- Best plug wires are Toyota (IMHO)
- Be sure theyre double platinum or they'll foul realllly fast
- Throttle body does not have to be removed to get to that last plug.Take out the 2 screws holding this assembly and use an extension thingy to get to the plug. Its not as far down as the others

 

Do you have an SC400?

See I have an SC300. And when I tried removing the plugs this plastic thing that went along the bank was fastening all the plugs, I have to remove that, and in order to remove that I have to remove the retarded TB.

 

Ohhhhhhhhhh, Sorry. I have an SC400, so i Cant help ya

I never had a chance to really look under the hood of the 300 that i had.


Good luck tho

 

do you have a swivel socket?

 

Yep, not enough room for that one either.
