Hello, I am old school and thought to change spark plugs would be the old fashioned way In my days there were no covers or coils to remove. This video has really been a great help. shukran sadiqi - as we say in Arabic, Means thank you friend.
On my 2000 Toyota Corolla Linja Terra 1.6 it had a strip of plastic on the back containing the wires for each plug, which prevented me taking out the shock plug covers, I just removed the two bolts and it moved enough to take the plugs out, so if you try to pull the plugs out and they wont come out check the plastic strip at the back :), thanks for a great video!
Good day sir Peter! I just finish replacing the spark plugs of my girlfriend's toyota corolla altis 02 J manual. I'm so glad you also have the guide on proper torque for this particular vehicle, at the comment section. Actually almost same used by ChrisFix at bmw spark plugs replacement. Looking forward for next spareparts to be replace and hopefuly you have one with altis =]
Peter Finn the Car Doctor today I could not start my Toyota Corolla verso semi automatic 2006 model so I called my car club so they came and start the car for after that the guy tested alternator and told me that I need to replace it because it has power till 12 volts but has to be 14 volts is that true? And also sometimes my engine use to shake what be the cause?
Nice video patiently made. Thank you. I recently purchased a 2006 corolla 1.8E. The fuel efficiency is only 10 kmpl so I guess I need to change the spark plugs
Hi, the are answers. You can tighten spark plug without torque wrench: First tighten plug so much, that it takes contact and then tighten 1/2 rotation using tool. And you can start motor directly.
Thank you for the above you tube clip on how to change spark plugs . I have recently bought a Toyota Corolla Verso 2005 model with a VVT-i petrol motor .I has been driven by one lady from new ,also changed the air con filter behind the glove compartment . As I am quite handy I can do all the servicing myself.I have also changed the engine filter. My question is as follows : is there any other things I should do to keep the car in good running order ???. Many thanks Marco from South Africa.
I highly recommend a magnetic socket tool you can get for 16mm plugs, it was only 6 euro, it made the job so easy compared to my socket set which could not pick the spark plugs out , for some reason they just slipped out.
Hi Peter. Thank you for your videos. I've been using them for the last few weeks. Tried to change my spark plugs. I got exactly the same car as you. Problem is that the spark plugs seem stuck. What do you recommend to get them out?
Hi, your anti-seize paste is good idea. And answer to your question: No, You don't need to set the spark plug gap on the new plugs before putting them in the engine.
thank you, is this also true for the 1.4 VVTI engine in my corolla? just making sure cause engine damage can be expensive :) thank you for the videos its difficult to find videos about the facelift corolla E11
Don't forget to gap your spark plugs according to factory specs. During shipping, Impacts close the gap little by little, and if you install them without the proper gap you can have idle issues and, or performance problems... Gapping makes a world of a difference
Thank you for your video. I'm broke and my dad, gotten old, so I have no choice but to learn for my self.. 😅 I'm pretty sure it's this that is the problem. I've heard you should change everyone at the same time. Not just one that is broken? I guess that is why.. A friend changed one just half a year ago. Now another one. And I have no engine shell/protection and the engine heater is broken too. Living in north Sweden. It's cold here. What about oil consuming Toyota? I never had a car I had to be this careful always checking the oil every now and then. Is it a bad sign? My friend said it's normal for the old Toyota cars to do. I had some power up/ oil cleans in it and try to cleans the gas every now and then. How often should one do the power up to the oil in a car that consumes oil? It made my engine much more quiet. Lots of questions.. 😅
All the best for you. 👍😀😀 It sounds to me that you have the same junk car as I had when I was young, man, my car was a Saab 900 and it consumed 1 liter of oil per 1 km. The engine cut out somewhere in the highlands of Jutland... But for your car, you have a rotten machine and you can drive it as long as it fires. Remember to add oil to the top of the dipstick up to MAX every day. See Video about oil quantity MAX level. And buy the next car Toyota hyprid. VIDEO: czcams.com/video/Avv5FTiK0cc/video.html Thanks for your video. I'm broke and my dad is getting old so I have no choice but to learn by myself.. 😅 I'm pretty sure this is the problem. I've heard that you should change them all at once. Not just one that is broken? I think that's why.. A friend switched just half a year ago. Now another one. And I don't have the engine cover/shield and the engine heater is also broken. Lives in northern Sweden. It's cold here. What about an oil-consuming Toyota? I've never owned a car and had to be so careful about checking the oils every now and then. Is that a bad sign? My friend said it's normal for old Toyota cars to do. I had a few power/oil cleans on it and try to clean the throttle every now and then. How often should oil be added to a car that consumes oil? It made my engine much quieter. Lots of questions.. 😅
Thanks for the video. I recently bought a used Toyota Corolla fielder (2007 model) from Japan and i'm not sure if I need to change the plugs or not. How many kilometers should they last? The mileage is 87,000 KM and it seems to be going on well.
Hello Peter, thanks for the great video. When tightening the new spark plug do I have to tight in any specific torque or as much tight as I can do? My car is 04 Corolla S.
Thanks for the video. I have a rough idle and replaced the spark plugs. Should I change the ignition coils as well ? Do they need to be changed in a certain order ?
Do not change your ignition coils unless you are not getting any spark to a cylinder. You can check that but I would be starting with the induction system to check for dirty throttle body or leaks.
I have a 2000 Corolla E110 1.4 VVT-i. I want to change the spark plugs but I'm not sure which is the better electrode gap. Should I go with Denso K16R-U11 1.1mm gap or Bosch FR8KCU 1.0mm gap? Thanks
Also, I think I really need to replace the engine head cover gasket. I noticed that theres some oil leaks at the iginition coils as well as the spark plugs. I'm going to buy another OEM gasket which I've refunded before because I thought theres no problem at that area. Thank you!
Hii! I would like to know what is the right calibration for the spark plugs, I understand that there are 2 types, the intake and the exhaust, and both are different calibration!!
Yeah, I just knew that a couple days ago jaja, i was mistaking xD what i meant, is the gap for the spark plugs, right now i have them at .040, and i have read that they should be at .044, so if you can help me with that i would really appreciate it :)
Thanks Peter. I just purchased NGK Iridium plugs. The manufacturer says putting the right torque on the plugs is important and that anti seize compounds are discouraged as they are not needed with the higher quality plugs and can, in fact, cause the plugs to be over torqued as they act like a lubricant.
Did this on my 4ZZ-FE and when i start the engine it makes a little different sound than it used to and it takes a little longer to start. Also one time the engine shut off right after i gave it gas but it only did that one time. Otherwise everything seems normal. I searched everywhere and never found the issue. It never did those things before spark plug change
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor it was some left over oil in the combustion chamber because my valve cover gasket leaked and it got inside when I changed the plugs. Did those weird things for the first minutes of driving, after the oil was gone it was fine.
I'm extremely anal,when it comes to my car(This is just my wife's opinion),so this is how I'm replacing spark plugs on my 2006.,Toyota Corolla. First,i blow all dust and dirt with air compressor before pulling spark plugs out. I like to brush little bit of anti-seez on the treads of each new spark plug. (Like Edelbrock or Bostik) When I'm inserting new spark plug,i trie to keep it in the right angle as much as possibile and first go slightly counter clockwise until you feel a little tiny jump. I always use torque wrench. Before installing spark plug boot,i rub in and out lightly some "Dielectric Tune-up grease" like the one made by Permatex.
What about anti-seize on the spark plug threads or dielectric grease on the tip of the coil pack part? Not a very good video and could be more detailed
You are right, grease and anti seize is good for spark plugs. But, I don't normally use any grease in my spark plugs, because I use always high quality Japan spark plugs Denso and NGK. And I have not ever been any issues with Denso and NGK spark plugs.
Good video. If a Toyota Corolla gets any kind of attention at all, it will last for ever. Fantastic engines.

Hi. For 1.4 engine you need Bosch FR8KCU plug, and Denso K16R-U11 and NGK BKR5EYA-11 suits also 1.4 and 1.6 engines.

Good video, Peter, love your corolla vids
+Jimmy Damage Thank You. I appreciate Your feedback.
Hi. Spark plugs are different. And Bosch Super 4 FR78X - KSN 510 is good to 1.6 engine. Also Denso K16R-U11 and NGK BKR5EYA-11 are good.
Hi, your anti-seize paste is good idea. And answer to your question: No, You don't need to set the spark plug gap on the new plugs before putting them in the engine.
Hi, good question. Please tighten spark plug to moment: 30 Nm or 20 lbf ft.
And do not tighten as much you can.
Hi Peter
i'm going to tuneup my 04corolla, should i replace those ignition coils as well?
question , is there any difference between spark plugs? or is it a standard size for all ? thinking about buying the Bosch Super 4 FR78X - KSN 510
hey thanks mate. good video.
thank you, is this also true for the 1.4 VVTI engine in my corolla? just making sure cause engine damage can be expensive :) thank you for the videos its difficult to find videos about the facelift corolla E11
Don't forget to gap your spark plugs according to factory specs. During shipping, Impacts close the gap little by little, and if you install them without the proper gap you can have idle issues and, or performance problems... Gapping makes a world of a difference
Jose Guido You are right. The gapping is useful. And when we use Denso plugs, there is also gap helmet.
thank you for sharing another great video.
Thanks Sir.
Hi, Try cold spray and try also very accurate socket. I will do also new video, where is hints to your problem.
Thanks.
Thanks

Hi Peter! Would you recommend denso iridium spark plugs for this type of engine? Or is it just a waste of money?
Yes. Denso is Best. Iridium works even 5% better then standard!
Thanks for the video. I recently bought a used Toyota Corolla fielder (2007 model) from Japan and i'm not sure if I need to change the plugs or not. How many kilometers should they last? The mileage is 87,000 KM and it seems to be going on well.
Stephen Kang'ethe Normal spark plugs last about 30 000 KM. You should change new Denso spark plugs. They cost about 5 US$ piece.
Peter Finn Thanks for the info. Will have them changed soon.
Hello Peter, thanks for the great video. When tightening the new spark plug do I have to tight in any specific torque or as much tight as I can do? My car is 04 Corolla S.
Just snug, don't overtighten.
Pay attention to how tight they are when you change them, that will give you an indication. It's not exact science
Hello Mr. Finn. is it fitted Toyota Avensis 2007 1.6L VVT-i engine with "Denso Iridium Spark Plugs"? or just "Denso Spark Plugs"? Thank you.
Both are good.
Thanks for the video. I have a rough idle and replaced the spark plugs. Should I change the ignition coils as well ?
Do they need to be changed in a certain order ?
Hi, please change first spark plugs. Ignition coil is expensive cost about 100-200US$.
Peter Finn Thanks. Is that first from the right ( closest to the oil cap ? )
Also, is that 100 - 200 US for all four ?
thank you
Daniel John
Hi, They cost about 200 US$ per unit. And you can change they in a any order
Do not change your ignition coils unless you are not getting any spark to a cylinder. You can check that but I would be starting with the induction system to check for dirty throttle body or leaks.
is it also 16mm socket for sparks for the 1.4 VVTI? should i use a torque wrench ? if so how much, 20nm ?
Thenerds Nextdoor 16mm socket and 20nm
Thanks Peter
👍
I have a 2000 Corolla E110 1.4 VVT-i. I want to change the spark plugs but I'm not sure which is the better electrode gap. Should I go with Denso K16R-U11 1.1mm gap or Bosch FR8KCU 1.0mm gap? Thanks
Denso is better.
Thanks!
Ac condition s also pls tell me
Good video explanation. very easy to do. I just did mine by following his instruction. Saved so much money on this do it yourself job. thanks a lot
Good info and Thank You.
Also, I think I really need to replace the engine head cover gasket.
I noticed that theres some oil leaks at the iginition coils as well as the spark plugs. I'm going to buy another OEM gasket which I've refunded before because I thought theres no problem at that area.

I used Corolla alties 2003 model sir tell me that engine problem s
Hii! I would like to know what is the right calibration for the spark plugs, I understand that there are 2 types, the intake and the exhaust, and both are different calibration!!
Gabo Monroy Hello, there is only one spark plug per cylinder. :-)
Yeah, I just knew that a couple days ago jaja, i was mistaking xD what i meant, is the gap for the spark plugs, right now i have them at .040, and i have read that they should be at .044, so if you can help me with that i would really appreciate it :)
Hello. What is your spark plug brand. If you have Denso, then they are ready for use. No needs for any adjusting,
It's been years since I've changed plugs on any car. Do they still have to be gapped or are new ones good right out of the box? Thanks.
Hello. If you purchase quality spark plugs to Toyota like: Denso and NGK, they are ready for use. Beware plugs, what a not quality brand parts.
Thanks Peter. I just purchased NGK Iridium plugs. The manufacturer says putting the right torque on the plugs is important and that anti seize compounds are discouraged as they are not needed with the higher quality plugs and can, in fact, cause the plugs to be over torqued as they act like a lubricant.
Forgot some anti-seeze on the spark plug threads and dialectric greese in the boot. Also to use a torque wrench on the plugs would be best.
Thomas Warren Anti-seeze is Ok and torque wrench too.
OK and Thanks!
Torque? Spark plug gap?
Shouldn't one blow air or vacuum the area before removing the spark plugs. What about applying anti-seize compound to the spark plug threads.
Noted
thanks!
Manuel Fernandez Thank You.
Great Stuff Peter. Well done and thanks for this :)
***** Thank You for comment.
Do you recommend dense spark plug for toyota vvti
Yes, Denso is The Best ! :-)
Hello. wich is better Denso Iridium Spark Plugs or NGK Iridium Spark Plugs? thank you.
Denso
thanks
You are Welcome.
NJK and DENSO Which one is better?
Denso

Hi, no. You need to change only Spark Plugs.
how do i know that my car spark plugs need to be changed, please?
They last about 30 000 miles. Then they looks old. Look my video: czcams.com/video/rB7FGRvLRxI/video.html

Broj 1 Good works.
Broj 1 if you lubricate spark plug this will make the use of a torque wrench because the lubrication will introduce slip upon tightning
is these engine non interference
Well, I dont know
Very talkative for a Fin 👀
Thanks and Cool info. 👍😀
You must tighten spark plug with torque wrench 22nm torque in cold engine..sorry but this is amater video.
