Short.. clear...no unnecessary chatter. Excellent.

Just what I needed to refresh my memory of what I did about 6 yrs ago. Thank you Toyota Maintenance for posting this super helpful video. My 2001 Tacoma 2.4L (240K miles) is running great after installing new spark plugs (with your help!). I can tell by your voice and manner that you are a good person and an honest mechanic. How lucky your family, friends, and customers are Keep up the good work. :)

Absolutely fantastic video good sir. I was having trouble figuring out how that air-box portion was attached to the heat shield. Furthermore I was having great difficulty finding a video of a 2.4L 4 cylinder Tacoma (my truck is a 2004). Thank you for this video, I wish other instructional mechanic videos were as articulate and clear as yours.

Very nice video! I was little worried but I followed every step just like the video and finished the work by my self. Saved me over $120. Thank you

Toyota Maintenance, this is just the clear explanation that I was looking for!!! I'm getting up my chair now and do the Job based on your video, Just bought my OEM plugs, you have a very nice and clear way to explain the details, thank you so much! Best Regards from Tijuana Mexico!!! :)

Great vid man! To the point, no annoying music. Great explanation of things 👌

Thank you! Very helpful. I hadnt changed my plugs in years and they were nasty! quick easy. Always great to get to know my vehicle better.

Brother, you got a new follower today. Easy video to follow and the steps were well directed. I’ll be using this video as a guide when I do my plugs.

Excellent video , Felt like my dad teaching me with patience and love 😂❤

You are a gifted teacher. Thank you!

Have a single cab Tacoma and went to get an inspection and what do you know there was a misfire code but no check engine light, they suggested replacing all four spark plugs and here I am watching and I must say this video was perfect!

I appreciate your taking the time to share your experience and guidance.

Helpful Tip for Everyone: Buy the spark plug tube seals and also a new valve cover gasket even if you are 100% sure you don't need it. Why? I recently changed out my spark plugs and 2 of the 4 were drenched in oil. Had I known this, I would have bought everything up front and performed all of the work at once, but, because I didn't know, now I have to take everything apart again just to get things done right. WORST CASE scenario, if you have no leaks, return what you bought. Simple as that. Will save you lots of time and rework. Just my advice/thought.

Thank you.... Every time I do something to my old truck I have to rewatch videos.... Little things like understanding that the two nuts are under the air intake saves me an hour of pouting trying to figure out why I can't get a part lose.... ;-)

THANK YOU TONY FROM HOUSTON TX NOW I CAN DO MY GOD BLESS YOU

Awesome tutorial, made changing my plugs super easy, thank you!

I own one and it it’s incredibly clean too.

Love the video and love your accent man this is amazing stuff

Thank you! This is going to help me this afternoon!

Thank you for making this video. I need to change the spark plugs on my Tacoma soon. This was very helpful.

Thank you, absolutely zero doubts after your video !

Very good. Very helpful. Thank you so much. Until I watched your video, I was wondering why I can't see my spark plugs when I lift the hood. Not like working on an old MG.

Great Video. You make it look easy. Thanks

thansk man!! great video.. and great attitude! I enjoyed all your tips.. i will most def. keep them all in mind!!

Thank you for this video, saved me a lot of money by doing it myself.

Wow great video!! Thank you. Perfect amount of detail

I always apply Dielectric Tune-up grease for spark plug boot. It prevents voltage loss and arcing and protects from moisture,salt,dirt and corrosion.Prevents fusing and tearing of spark plug boots and provides high temperature lubrication on rubber,plastic and ceramic.

Ive been wondering how to remove that air box. Would have never found those bolts. Thanks!

Hola amigo... yo te agradezco me ayudo mucho el video ya estoy empezando a cambiar las bujias de carro de mi suegro

Well done and very helpful. Thank you.

That was very clear and helpful. If I could ask a question: I have a 2004 tacoma with this engine. It's missing at lower revs (Under 2000 RPM) and under load (acceleration: Like it's firing on 2 or 3 cylinders, instead of 4), If I lay off the gas and gently feather it, I can get it to run on all 4 cylinders. Spark plugs and coils were recommended to me to replace by a friend. Anywhere else I should also look? Thanks in advance.

Any idea what rack they have on the cap? I would like to get one.

Hey peter when you said let's dig in I thought we were going to eat lol

great video once again and well-produced by yourself. thanks !

Great video!!!

Thank you I really appreciate the demonstration.

this just helped me save a couple hundred bucks !! thanks!!

If you can't get the spark plugs out use one of the coils to pull them out. And always have a dust cover over the open spark plug holes. You never know what tricks fortuna will play.

About to do this to my 2000 2.7 4runner. I don't have the fancy torque wrench, any idea how to know when it's been tightened enough?

Good video man.

my manual says 5vz-fe for spark plugs with twin grounds. I have a 2.4 L, is this a different engine? Thanks

Amazing video 💯🔥😎

Informative video. That truck is a 2003 or 2004 though, not a 2002. Those are the only model years which had the vertical grill....all the others had horizontal grills.

Thank you. Quality video

Thank you , appreciate you Saved me money Video is great

Thanks for your video

NICE YOU HELPED ALOT

Someone please tell me the size socket to remove the heat shield..I've watched this video a dozen times and I just can't understand what he is trying to say

What color of Red is this truck?

What tool did you use to release the 12 mm nuts beneath?

Thanks hombre.

thank you for a great video, any chance anyone knows how to change the spark plug wires? i have a 2000 tacoma 2.4l 4 cylinder. never done it on this truck and not the same as my chevy truck

Thank you very much!!

Great job. Thanks for sharing.
