2001 Toyota Avalon Spark Plug Replacement 

The more I watch spark plug replacement videos, I just tell myself to pay someone else for the headache. I know my way around tools but I don't want the frustration right now lol

I changed my spark plugs, coils and changed my oil on my 2002 Avalon for the first time. Thank you for having these videos. They gave me the confidence to do it! The back ones are tuff but just take your time

Thanks Hector , what patience ! I have a beautiful 2004 Florida Avalon xls with 66000mi . -- And I use to think it was tough replacing 8 plugs on my 74 Imperial --- lol !!

Great explanation. I just completed changing my 1, 3 & 5 cylinder plugs and coil packs. The only additional thing I did was to remove the hood. Removing the hood only involved 4 bolts, 2 small hood shock mounting clamps (1 per shock) and disconnecting the washer hose. This only took 5 additional minutes and it made the entire job much, much easier with the greatly improved access.

This is the best explanation I have ever watched, thank you bro, I will try to change the coils and spark plugs Tomorrow,

Don’t know how in the world you was able to change the spark plugs back there I will have been thinking twice especially in this weather👏👏

Doing the knock sensors (a pain in the you know what) right now so I may as well do these spark plugs while everything is disassembled. Great vid man!

My dude. This video is incredibly helpful. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

If all of the coils are cracked you may get P0300 through P0306 codes (misfire codes) depending on the severity of the crack. Good work Hector.

Thank you for your great video!!!! I appreciate all of your help!!!!😊😊😊😊

Man damn good info! I’m doing the bank 1 oil control valve and cylinder one coil!! Thank you for the info and smart man for putting the cracked one in the front!!

Thank you ..you did a great job pissed about the needle too!

I changed 1 spark plug and my car runs completely different. Thanks for the help

Good video Hector. FWD V-6's are tough for plugs...

Excellent video,I'm about to tackle this myself :(

Great job!!

That was a great job 👏

Thanks for the Great Video Sir! I just did the spark plugs on my 2000 avalon xls. I watched another yt vid saying to remove the whole intake from manifold. I found your video too late... 😤.. But you left out the hugest hurdle.. How did you remove that bolt from that flat bracket in back next to cylinder 1? That was my issue. What tool did you use? It's a terrible spot for a bracket and bolt. I also broke my pcv valve trying to remove to replace it. Now to harbor freight for cheap tools for one time use.. LOLOL Keep these Avalon Video coming.. Mine has 93000 miles and things are breaking.. 👍👍👍

i got misfire on 1, 3, 5, but i am hopeing it is the vct (oil control valve) i do not have the patience for the back ones. i will have to pay someone to do that

Hey, i know it’s quite late but just wondering what that hose is ( the one near oil filler cap connected horizontally onto the top of the engine) actually mine was disconnected and i had a lot of shaking and misfire so i tested it myself and it was disconnected even the mechanics were unable to figure it out as they say it was vvt ( oil control valves)

P0303 is a misfire code which definitely can happen from a bad coil. I recommend replacing iridium spark plugs, wires, and coil packs every 100,000 miles.

That toyota logo on top actually acts like a screw. You can turn it to loosen the cover, then u can remove its covering.

Thank you for the video. Man I'm going to pay some one I don't have all these tools

Thanks for the information 👍👍🍺🍺

I can't seem to get the back ones off. Unfortunately, I don't have all of the proper tools.

They sure don't make it easy to get to those back spark plugs. What would cause all the back coils to crack?

Those cracked coils need to be replaced for sure. you make your videos with your phone and not a camera?

Thanks Mate...

Don't you want to replace the oil cap to prevent debris from getting in?

Mine just started misfiring ( cylinder 5 an 6 ). Bought new plugs. Hopefully when i get to change them the coils are messed up. They are $78 each

It is hard enough to work on cars now a day, but now the phone batteries, lol What next. I hope you get a better place to move to Hector.

Random question but does the 2001 xls have a gas tube flap on top? You know.. Where you push gas pump in, is there a flap the pushes down?

Code P0330 on 2001 Avalon w/ 286k miles. It's either spark plugs, (cracked) ignition coils, or...oxygen sensor? LUV ur video!! thank you!

Do you have fb or anything I could send you some pictures on? I got some misfire codes but yet the shop told me I just need to replace spark plugs?

bro......you broke the hell outta that cover.

Wouldn't it make the job easier to remove the intake manifold?

❤❤❤❤

You from new York?

I would have moved all coils in the front to the rear to replace the cracked ones. That way it;s easier to replace if the cracked ones are bad.

Bosch plugs are really bad I would use ngk or denso for Toyota

You may be great at replacing spark plugs - but you need a lesson in taking covers off. The Toyota emblem screws off.

Cracked coil is a bad coil. Replace it 100
