Thank you for showing that this job can be done without removing the wipers, wiper motor and cowl tray!
He didn't screw on the bracket/hanger bolts on the back of the upper intake manifold
I need to watch again. I am not a mechanic. but trying to learn. dealerships and other mechanics charge a lot. This video is really VERY helpful
I bought a used lexus rx330 thunderbolt edition 2005 185thousand miles and had spark plugs coil gasket coil boot timing belt and water pump cost 1298.80 but it is running like a brand new one can't complain paid 6300 for it and inside and outside looks brand new so hopefully it will be good to go now
You'll have a reliable vehicle for many years to come, my sister's 2004 have 356000 miles, and the engine sound smooth, I have the 2008 rx350. Wich is similar. Running great with 245k miles.
Amazing! Hoping to see a video on cleaning the throttle which I've now learned is located right behind the air intake! 🙏🏼 Had cleaned my maf, filters and engine oil but just needed to go back in a little deeper to find the throttle. New family mechanic here 🙌🏼 haha thanks for you video! New spark plugs ftw 💪🏼
Thank you for the step by step process. About to start replacing all the spark plugs
there are so few good videos on the rx. I guess it’s more a family persons car than an enthusiasts.
Therefore your video is much appreciated. It’s good !!!!
Nice vid, you even explained gapping. I'm surprised how many people just "trust" the factory gap. I did these a couple years ago and it was not fun. Anit-seize the ongoing debate, I always use it on mine.
Man, such a great explanation!!! Thank you so much
Very good job. I call it perfect class to watch, thank you very much
I subscribed because ur awesome w/ camera and details on what your doing! was great! Thx. I own a 04 rx 330.
thanks so much my friend you were very helpful
Thank you for help
Excellent video. What program are you using for finding the torque specs (Mitchell)??
Thank you.
Where you at ? I would like you to work on my 2004 Lexus rx330.
Great job, young man… How much would an auto mechanic shop charge for this job?
Did you have to remove the wipers and wiper motor and all that to reach those back ones? I don’t think I seen that in the video
I did not have to.
@@jdcauto5977what do you mean? Don't those (3) bracket bolts help support the weight of the upper intake manifold? How do you thread those with the tiny clearance you have?
Is it possible to reach the Pcv valve without pulling this all off as well?
Not in my experience
I change my pcv valve without removing anything. It takes a bit of patience tho
How long have you been a "mechanic"?
20:00 - pcv hose location at left side.
This is ridiculous just to replace spark plugs
Not really... when you consider how long the plugs last. 1 hour total labor every 80k is not bad.
This is how it is on transverse mounted V shaped engines of all makes. Long change durations (75 to 100k miles) on platinum & iridium plugs allowed engineers to put these larger engines in FWD cars.
I cannot believe what a chore it is just to change out the spark plugs. Shame on them.
Just a quick note. My brackets are attached to break lines. Releasing the bracket from below will not allow you to remove the intake with brackets. It is a 14mm passenger side and a 12mm drivers side my middle one was not attached either. A ratcheted box end was my solution. Good luck it is a jobs but well worth it
