Once you got the cowl off, couldn't you get to the back 3 coils and plugs without taking the upper intake off? That's what I'm trying to avoid doing.
Desperate YouTuber
The best part of this video if fixing the broken connection with tie wraps. The 1st video ever on YouTube mentioned about this. Thanks. LIKE.
Awesome video again!
I will be combing this with the evaporator job, two birds one long ass effort! lol
Check out this video, really good video as well
NAME: How to change spark plugs on V6 Toyota and Lexus 2GR-FE 3.5L engine by The Car Care Nut
Let me know what you think about it
Thank you
Wow, one of the better vids on this! Thanks for all the positive encouragement, it's…encouraging!
Looking forward to your coolant change (transmission, differential too?) Fluid change video too! Thanks!
How long did the whole job take you start to finish?
Do I just started this job today it was a beast. That hard to get bolt to 2 hrs
You did a great job, Thats on my list to do, thanks for showing the way!!!
Well you are a MECHANIC, i like when you say that, if i can do it, you can do it, so therefore i will try do it on my. Own car, MECHANICS these days are very THIEVES, 90% of MECHANIC ARE a THIEVES.
You have a good attitude. Thanks for your posting. I will do this in about 2 years or so
Dude great video and a HUGE help! Did this today. Just a point about rear bolt. Not that hard to remove the bolt that attaches onto the engine and not the plenum side. Also make sure you route the airbox tube line UNDER the plenum and not towards the firewall. Removing the wiper stuff was key! Thanks again!
How long did it take to replace the spark plugs? I have a 2011 Highlander Hybrid, but used to have a 2010 Corolla, which was easy peasy to change plugs in. This one, however, I have no idea if plugs have ever been changed as it is a new vehicle for us, so I am considering changing plugs. I am a bit intimidated by the plug change process, though! I have never gone that deep into a car without some help. A bit nervous to say the least
How long did that whole job take
good job, thank you for the encouragement
Throttle body….it can just hang
You could clean the throttle body while it was all disassembled.
Great video ! I know some about cars and I do as much as I can by myself but when it comes to spark plugs and ignition coils, especially those three in the back, I think I need to be more confident before I replace them myself. Those three in the front are easy peasy.
Throttle body
Thanks for doing this. Getting ready to do this on my wife's 2013 Highlander, we've driven it Seattle to GA three times now and getting ready to do it again. Will also be doing engine, trans and differential oil and filter change. All simple jobs but this seems like the most time consuming having to remove the wiper panel and intake. They are great vehicles.
Great work man. I had to do one of these jobs on my girlfriend's old solara v6 (same deal, remove intake plenum). These engines do last forever though if maintained. That solara has about 400k miles on it.
Add a little anti seize to the threads of spark plugs for the future.
Good job Bro. I have a 3rd gen with the same engine. I purchased an Endoscope Camera for 20$ from Amazon. It helped me see behind the air intake and find all the bolts.
Why did you replace the spark plugs? The are good for 192,000km according to the manual. Did your car start behaving poorly?
I'd love to see you do a coolant change in it. I'm trying to find out what is the easiest way to do it.
Keep up the good work
Could this have been done without removing the intake and just removing the windshield wiper assembly?
