  • Today I'm going to show you guys how to remove the necessary things in order to remove the spark plugs because this car has severe misfire issues. We are also going to change out the wires and coils as well since they are original.

    Thanks man for this. Have never done it before so appreciate your showing me how it's done. I have a 2005 so assume it's pretty much the same. And I like the way you hadn't pre-loosened bolts prior to making the video. Top stuff.

      I hope you did it right unlike this video and focus on the details. The Throttle Body Gasket cannot be reused! Manual specifically states that. Spark plugs must be torque to 13ft lbs. And please don't leave the wires dangling like that! In the SUPRA it comes with wire guides that keep them nice and neat. I'm in the process of working on my 98 right now too. This is the 2nd time I'm changing out the spark plugs. If you looking for Part Numbers and discount let me know I'll refer you!

    • @LifeTac
      @LifeTac  Před 5 lety

      I would first try and clear the code and see if it comes back. Other than mixing up the wires or not having them plugged all the way on to the spark plugs or the coil plugs completely on to the coils. It could be a possibility that the vehicle was on accessory and the plugs were unplugged. Throwing a code. Also the injectors often go bad on lexus/toyotas throwing a misfire code.

      Those are the best OE replacement plugs. If you go to rockauto.com they have the best prices for OE replacement coils. But the issue is most likely oil leaking into the cylinder head from bad valve cover gasket. So I recommend replacing the VCG and the plugs coils should be good

      Cartoonz N 2JZ did you ever get it figured out? You have to check the codes and see which one is misfiring. Most likely the coil is bad or the injector. Those are the most common culprits. Easy check to see I'f the coil is bad is to just switch the suspected bad one with a easy to reach good and and the bad coil should switch to the cylinder when you rescan it
