I know there will be folks who don't agree with me, and that's fine, but as a Master Mechanic of nearly 40 years, I always apply a tiny half a drop of anti-seize, never had an issue, and when it comes time to remove and replace for service, they come out like a dream. No fears on them snapping or a struggle on epic levels, easy. Do it and see, don't save your breath and enjoy the fear and struggles. And I know I'm not the only Master Mechanic to do that, I also know others that don't. To each their own. That's for reading.

This is exactly why I don’t want to ever buy a transverse V6 again. If it’s front wheel drive, I’m buying a 4 cyl. To heck with the extra power. Most new 4 cyl cars have plenty of power anyway. I can change all the plugs, wires and valve cover gaskets in my car in 20 minutes. The accessory drive is the only thing that has anything difficult to access and that’s just the nature of front wheel drive.

The front coils fail first because of the radiator fan blowing hot air onto the front of the engine in city driving and highway hot air while on the highway. When I pulled my intake off (2005 highlander) I replaced all of the coils with TRQ brand, between the plugs and coil, it made a big difference in performance.

@colchronic Жыл бұрын

It's not just the ignition coil connectors that break it's also the fuel injector connectors and some other odds and ends and it's not just with Toyota but also with Honda I've realized as well and it's because of heat cycles and the type of plastic that they use they use phenolic plastic just like plastic radiators over a long period of time with many many heat cycles they just become brittle no matter what you try to do you cannot keep them from breaking eventually the connectors will get so bad that the connector themselves will start to break

To secure the harness to the coil I dab a bit of silicone (rtv) over the connectors and let it dry thorougly. The problem I find with zip ties is that they get brittle and break from the heat. Even without any securing measures the connector is really tight when they are seated properly. I conducted an experiment and deliberately left one unsecured and never had an issue. Replacement harnesses are available if you wanna go that route.

I highly recommend Denso coils on Toyotas. My local Napa auto parts carries them and so do some other places I have gotten very used to removing the wiper motor and tray on Toyotas. The first time I changed plugs on my Avalon, I couldn't believe all that had to come off but it's really not that bad and the plugs last 100,000 miles. Power tools really make this job easier. I've reused the intake gasket. All three of my coil connectors broke when I changed the plugs at 120,000. I barely touched them! I put a little silicone on them and never had problem. About a year ago at 220,000 one the rear coils went out. I replaced all three rear coils and did plugs too. I didn't bother putting silicone or a zip tie on the broken connectors. Those connectors fit pretty tight even without the clip. So far so good- fingers crossed

It's a great idea to put three new coils in the back. I think I'd do OEM coils so the chances would be better they would last a long time and I would save the old back three coils in case ones in the front go bad--- I'd have used but good coils to use and save lots of money in the future.

The work required to replace the back coils and plugs now while you are at it versus the cost of them makes it sensible to do so - it is NOT ripping the customer off (as others may claim). Also glad to see you used the mirror to check the seating of the back tappet cover gasket. They are so easy to get wrong when they move only slightly out of the groove. I have never been caught with one leaking after full reassembly - I caught it at the mirror inspection stage. You have not shown it yet but those back inlet manifold supporting nuts/bolts near the firewall are a pain to refit. They really can test your patience/perseverance.

Luckily the snow band was only a couple miles wide and I was out of it rather quickly, but it was parked until April after that. I put it away from Halloween to Easter. Everything else was front or 4/all wheel drive before and after that. And ALWAYS run whatever you have through a car wash with an undercarriage wash every week.

I'm from erie pa. If you don't have 4x4 or awd it's makes winter travel pretty difficult. But my brother drives a 2001 taurus from Utah. And gets around fine. But some trouble getting around in front wheel drive

had to pause the vid...and im sure you know this, but for the air intake a lil spritz of PB or WD or whatever right where ya first put the pick under while your trying to get it to come off helps a ton. FYI i DO NOT miss workin on east coast rigs!!!
