ahhh…really you dont have to take off the intake many dont know this but if you just use an extention and angle it you can get to all three back there…taken off the coils is not that hard either..take some time it’s tight back there but you can do it like 30 mins….. and not worry bout if you got the intake on there tight enuff why work hard when you dont have to
it is very impressive, its a diffuclt job, demanding may be not for the amateur. very good video also, short and cover all the small detail, but why dont you star the car and let the audien feel the outcome of this work ?
Thank gooooood someone has a video on how to do this
looking at 03 avalon. looks like plugs, coils, connectors, and new gaskets for intake and ignition are gonna total like $250. great design by toyota to gyp money from customers.
That is probably about right for a mechanic to do the work. You can always do it yourself and save a ton of money though!
how much should a repair like this cost, i went to a local mechanic and the estimated $240.00
this is why I hate front wheel drive
Thanks! The avalon will use the same connector clips, you can find them by clicking the link just below the video.
I have a 1995 toyota avalon xls, I’m trying to find out if those connector clips are the same ones for my car, would you know off hand? Having a heck of a time finding these little guys. Excellent video, thank you for this, and thank you for the product link in the description.
he said in the video the customer wanted to start with 3……..hense why not do the back ones so you dont have to take the intake off a second time……my ? would be did you reuse the intake gaskets…..i didnt see any new ones.
Great Video. Couple Questions. Why would you only replace the back three coil packs and not all 6? Also why didnt you use antisieze on the plugs and dielectric grease on the connections?
Excellent video. My daughters 1994 ES300 has a couple of cylinders with multiple misfires. Your video showed me what to do and what to have in preparation, 3 rear coils and new connectors. Thanks
The quickest way to identify which cylinder is which, is to find a “Firing Order Diagram” for your specific car. That should be located in your repair manual or you may be able to find the diagram searching the internet.
how do i know which one is the ignition coil number one ?
Yeah, that’s what they told me, however I checked 2 sensors and they seem O.K. and the one being replaced as the one that triggered the other is the Throttle position sensor (Aisan brand). I hope that will solve the issues since before the spark plugs change, never had any other problems of this kind. Thank you for the advise. Denso is the brand I look to install in future repairs related. Have a nice day!
Those codes are all oxygen sensor related,, I would recommend you replace all of the oxygen / air fuel sensors. Being a lexus (Toyota Engine) the “Denso” brand is recommended in your situation.
The codes I got from the OBD2 were: P0154,P0153, P0430 and P2197. I’m more confused now about what’s the problem with my Lexus is300. Maybe you can help with some more advise. Thanks!
What trouble codes were stored in the memory when the check engine light came on? The engine light only comes on if the computer detects a problem, and the computer will store a code which helps diagnose the problem. Your mechanic should have pulled those codes before clearing them out of the system. if you have those, we can try to point you in the right direction.
Yeah…I agree with you. The mechanic who helped me finish the spark plugs installation said the same. I will keep that in mind until I save some more money and the time to do it. For now the car is once again running great and at have again a means of transportation. Expensive work (all together close to $200 with tow truck included). Now, the “check engine light” came on…twice! (after being erased once from the memory by the mechanic) any suggestions? Thanks!
If you are finding oil on the spark plugs or ignition coils, it is likely that you need a new valve cover gasket.
Thank you for uploading this very instructive video. Very difficult labor to change 6 spark plugs. I own an IS300 2004 and having quite a hard time changing the spark plugs myself. There was some oil flood in the spark plug hole and I wonder if a gasket is broken and needed to be replaced…? These engines are not easy to work on. Kudos to you!
My car is a 95 and everything is identical. 6 coils and all. The 2nd bolt to take off the egr line realllly sucks to get. Other than that its all easy.
Take a look at this particular website for hidden cost savings on automotive insurance. You may possibly be spending as low as $9 a week should you drive fewer than 35 miles per day.

According to my information the wasted spark version of this engine did not start until 1996 models. Perhaps this one was unusual, but it was a 1995 model for sure.
He’s right I remember now, thats how I was abile to do it on my 96 Avalon, if the car did have DIS packs in the back Id have no chance.
Never had to pull the intake on my 96 Avalon to to the rear plugs, maybe less room on the Lexus?
Thanks for video.. That is big job i don’t think i can do it
What a great video. The whole job went super smooth. All nuts/bolts easy to reach. Prior, I purchased the plenum gasket( Felpro MS95407)and throttle body gasket(Felpro 61020) (EGR tube has gaskt also- I didn’t buy) Plenum & TB gaskets were made of metal and I could have re-used them.Two electrical connectors did fall apart but both were front connectors so I was able to complete the rear job. I would advice you buy these connectors prior so you are prepared for the worst. Thanks-excellent video.
Thanks for posting. I own a ’97 ES300 that I converted to run on natural gas. I always wondered how to get the intake manifold off.
thanks.chrenge it.mycar is windam.
Great job! I have a few questions though. Wouldn’t be good to clean the throttle body and intake while it was out? Also the cracked tube could be easily repaired with self sealing silicone tape like the Rescue product. I think that product would be ideal here as there is no pressure and no fluids in the tube.
You know you can get to the back plugs without taking the manifold off…use a double flex ratchet and an extension
Did u get the coil
connectors from the dealers?
nice job,i have a gs300 i gonna do it my self,thank you!!!
The 2000 es300 Is very similar, if not identical procedure.
would same procedure apply for 2000 es300?
The book time on this job calls for almost 2 hours of labor, so the price depends on your local labor rates, (here it is about $90 per hour on average). Plus the cost of the parts.
i have a es 95 and i need to get this work done. How much did you charge whats a good price?
how much did you charge this customer?
thanks, this the video i was lookin for… great break down, step by step info….
However, the coils themselves are the same, except there are only three. Meaning, the part number is the same as you said in the video description
Nice video, but one minor error:
That car is NOT a 95, it’s a 94 model! How do I know? Because the 1995-96 versions only have *three* ignition coils (those two years got wasted spark), and three regular spark plug wires. Only the front bank of cylinders has coils in 1995-96 (the even-numbered cyls 2/4/6). The coil from #2 connects to #5, 4 connects to 1, and 6 connects to 3
Cylinders
135
246

Awesome, thanks! I’ll add that to our video notes.
I found it! 90980-11246
Sorry but I did not write down the part number so I do not know what it was.
do you know the part number?
ive never had to remove the intake or throttle body to change the plugs in the back
Thanks! :)
