In this video we show how to change the spark plugs and coil packs Toyota and Lexus vehicles equipped with the 2GR-FE 3.5 L motor WITHOUT removing the intake manifold! This motor came in a variety of vehicles from 2004 all the way until the present. A complete list (according to wikipedia) of the vehicles equipped with the 2GR-FE 3.5L engine are shown below. We perform this install on a 2007 Lexus ES 350. As mentioned, we perform the install without removing the intake manifold which allows you to finish the job in under an hour with the right tools and a little bit of automotive knowledge.

Right on man. I'm planning on doing this soon and wasn't looking forward to removing the manifold. Thanks!
Great video! Did you feel the coil packs snap into place with the spark plug or did you just drop them in there and tighten? Thanks in advance
Those are not coil packs those are individual coil the car packed is a multi coil
Will this work on 09 Toyota Camry v6 basically the same setup
Seems like a lot of work just to change spark plugs…
Thanks for the video, very helpful…
I would check the torque on the head gasket.
Liked and subscribed… will be using this for my 2013 Camry Se V6
Question though… is it SOP to change out the coil packs when doing spark plugs? I’m at just over 93K miles, and have the OEM plugs and coil packs still in there.
Also, I see some YouTubers applying anti-seize around the threads of the new plugs.
Also… would it be necessary to do O2 sensors when doing plugs?
Thanks so much for making this video, I had seen a very detailed breakdown with pictures on one of the Toyota forum websites, but they had you taking the manifold off, after seeing you do this I was also able to successfully do it, and surprisingly it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought (I had heard it would be a nightmare) the only tough thing for me on my 2009 six cylinder Camry was that I had to lay on the engine a few times to get my head back there and see what was actually going on, but thanks so much for making this video you made the job what I can only assume to be much easier. One crazy thing that I discovered was that I also had a leak on that middle cylinder on the back of the side of the engine, there was oil at the bottom of the coil, I guess that’s a common spot for the valve cover to leak on the 2GFRE engine.? Was wondering if there was anyway to tighten it up while I was back there but I didn’t really see much? If anybody knows a way to tighten those valve covers a little sometimes you can get a little more time out of your valve cover gasket?
Did they ever make a video on changing the rear valve cover gasket?
Nice video! Thanks for sharing. If anyone needs a how to on Es350 headlight removal, I have one on my channel.
Yes easy change but a lot of work and timing
Checking in for an update on those coils 3/20/2021
Where is ignition coil D located? I can't seem to find any info
Hello, is it possible to do this procedure without removing intake on a 07 Avalon also 2grfe ?
i Wonder if this works on my 2011 Toyota Avalon? it has same engine. i don't want to remove the intake Because it take a lots of time & works.
Y didnt u just take the plastic intake off? Its waaaay easier.
Still working ?
Thank you, awesome video. Wouldn't have done my plugs without your thorough steps.
This is one of the best helpful video I have seen for replacing sparks plugs. I am wondering if this technique is working for 2010 Toyota Highlander

Wifes 06 Avalon.
Intake manifold had to come off.
Both pieces of the windshield cowling had to come off. Wiper motor…off.
Lotta work but all coils/plugs in rear are replaced.
