You didn’t show us that you gaped the spark plugs is that important to do so if they are not
Holly fuckin shit i needa just buy a new car
I've done all the spark plugs on my 99 V6 Camry without removing air intake manifold. Just need a small ratchet + extention and wiggle around your hands haha. I also have this exact 2002 es300, i don't think theres as much room as the camry to do it without removing manifold
Does taking off that strut tower brace cause you to have to get a re-alignment? Does it affect the strut position? It looks like you have to end up loosening the strut entirely on top.
Finally a freaking video showing the rear plugs
All that for some damn sparkplugs
How did you get the back support bolt for the plenum back in ? (Just feel it with fingers ?)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge…
OK…I really have to study this video!! I was only able to get to the passenger side plug in the back without removing the manifold. There is literally no wiggle room with a ratchet for the other two. I should probably replace the gaskets while I'm at it!! Do you have a video on how to remove the valve cover to replace the gasket in the valve cover? Thanxxxx 🙂
My 2003 looks different , this makes me sad. The shop wants 600 $ to do this. I can do it myself with right tools and correct instructions
Man this is a blessing. You were so clear and concise with your directions. I have full confidence in doing this myself now. THANK YOU!!!
What's the equal to 8mm between E4 and E18 on torx sockets? I don't see 8mm torx sockets.
I have a 2002 ES 300 Lexus, from OBD reader, the 6 plugs need to be changed. I have changed all 6 with new plugs and including the ignition coil, works well for a week at most and begins to misfire and takes up more fuel. Check with the OBD reader again, it says all 6 needs to be changed. Manually bringing out the ignition coil and plugs, you will see they are all bad already. I have done this changing of ignition coil and plugs more than 4 times without getting the solution.
Please what else can I do to solve this problem?
Expecting a reply
ALL THIS JUST TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS !!! FVXXCK !
NO WONDER PEOPLE LOVE THEIR GRAND MARQUIS.
EVERYTHING IS SOOOOO EASY ON THE MERCURY.
EXPECIALLY ON THE 2006-2011 .
I CHANGED THE STARTER ON THIS ES300 (2003) , AND IT WASNT TOO BAD. DID IT FROM THE TOP. DID NOT NEED TO GO UNDER THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF THE INTAKE AIR BOX . AND ITS LOCATED STRAIGHT DOWN BELOW THAT . IN THAT AREA.
ANYWAYS . THIS VIDEO MADE ME EXHAUSTED. . I THINK IM GOING TO EXIT OUT OF HERE.
GOOD LUCK IF YOU DOING THIS SPARKPLUG JOB . LMAO .
I SAY CHANGE THE FRONT 3 ONES AND FVVVCCKK THE ONES IN THE REAR . LMMFAO.
100
That's just insane amount of work for 3 plugs, Camry V6 ain't any better
This video was a godsend. I replaced all my sparkplugs and the 3 back coils so I won't have to worry about them and at least 1 was bad. Thank you so much!
