Your efforts was appreciated because I’m a new DIY guy and your video was very helpful. Keep more Toyota Avalon videos coming. Thanks bro.

@w.preston9873 3 года назад

You make this look like I just MAY be able to change plugs & ignitors/wires on the 2004 Avalon XLS w 146K miles I may soon buy. I'm not even close to being a mechanic. Lol. I will watch this video several times before deciding. My question is if it's this doable, why is paying a mechanic so expensive to change spark plugs?? Mechanics tell me the engine needs to come out to access the rear plugs. Obviously, not true

@ralphferrara5152 Месяц назад

Thanks for your video. I have a 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS with about 91,700 miles. Runs great. never had a tune up yet. I’m the original owner. If I ever do need to change the plugs now I can go back on your video. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this video. Took me a while because I have short arms (well I'm just short) but with a little help from my neighbor, I got the back ones loose. And took me a little long but I made it!

Just changed the spark plugs on my 2002 camry v6. Your video was very helpful

@paulbouverette503 3 года назад

Well explained. Thanks for your time making your video. This helps allot of people.

@mikehollenbeck5070 3 года назад

your video was the best I found. Worked great to help with changing my plugs. Tip for others. The rubber insert on my plug socket kept coming out. I grabbed a deep socket and cut some pool noodle as an insert. Making sure it was good and tight I drilled a small hole in the insert. Worked like a champ to hold the plug. I did remove the ground wire on the passenger side. Had to twist and turn the coil to get it out.\ Again, thanks for the tips.

Magnetic spark plug sockets work best for me.

Thanks for the video, just changed mine. Great advice on the snub nose wrench. I bought one, good tool to have. Also bought a magnetic spark plug socket. All my clips were fine. For the back middle and right I was able to get the plug harness off w/o unclamping them.

Dan, your videos are well made and fun to watch. In this video the camera is well positioned and zoomed. The microphone is a good quality, you sound like an NPR radio host. Editing is how any RU-vid DlY should be made. Thanks.

@legendarygospel 4 года назад

Thank you for this video, my question is how many oxygen sensors are on the 2004 Toyota Avalon and where are they located?

@DantheFixitMan 4 года назад

There are 3 oxygen or air/fuel ratio sensors on this vehicle. One is in the front of the car near the radiator in the front exhaust manifold. The second one is in the back near against the firewall in the rear exhaust manifold. The last one is underneath in the exhaust pipe near the rear catalytic converter. The wiring connection for the last one requires removing the passenger front seat for access to the connection. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

@erncild Год назад

This is the only video so far that really help me with the 2002 Avalon, the rest of the other similar YT videos are so difficult to follow. Thanks you!

@laneman8777 2 года назад

On the passenger side remove the rubber PCV hose and it is much easier. Also a magnetic spark plug socket is much easier than a rubber insert type

@rubydiamond210 Год назад

I need your help with my spark plugs

@Usmanthemecano 4 года назад

How hard is it to remove the throttle body on this one? I'm guessing it would make the job a lot less painful

@senorsquish1 4 года назад

The manual said to replace the coolant hose under the throttle body when ever you take it apart.

@John-hj2mv 3 года назад

Along with that hose replacement, you'll want to label all the air/fuel hoses that have to be disconnected. Also the throttle linkage position should be marked before disassembly.

@onebrightflash 4 года назад

Dan the Denso fine wire iridium plugs looked like they were not worn at all. Why were you replacing them?

@DantheFixitMan 4 года назад

Yes, that is true. I had just bought this Avalon and had no idea of it's maintenance or history. It looked like someone had recently replaced the plugs. I ended up keeping them and just put them in another car that had very used and very worn out ngk iridium spark plugs. Bosch had sent me the plugs to use in the video, and to do a review as well. The Bosch plugs are working great, and the car is running great with them. But again, you are correct, there was nothing wrong with the ones I removed. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

@fortunatedad7695 4 года назад

@@DantheFixitMan how are those plugs running now Dan? I have an Acura MDX and was thinking of trying the Bosch but have heard of people getting misfire codes from using them and to stick with ngk or Denso. I know you drive a Toyota but the word is Bosch don't run well in Japanese cars. Thanks.

@DantheFixitMan 4 года назад

IRATA plumber, Yes, I had heard that as well, but I still am running them in this car and they are working great. No misfire codes or anything wrong with them at all. I will definitely post an update if I have any problems with them. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

@fortunatedad7695 4 года назад

@@DantheFixitMan well what's the worst that could happen, I put the old ones back in I guess? :). Bosch has a good rep I always thought and they are $20 for 2 instead of over $30 each for an NGK. I'm a you get what you pay for type of guy but have been putting so much into both cars lately that I'm trying to find a way to lessen the blow lol. Thanks for the quick response!

@fortunatedad7695 4 года назад

@@DantheFixitMan I don't know what to say other than the Acura runs great with the new plugs. The only thing I can think is people who had issues maybe got the wrong plugs and didn't double check the gap before installing them. I'm sold on Bosch at $10 at spark plug opposed to $30 for NGK. They have a 7 year guarantee so you can't Go wrong! Thanks for the videos!

@fidiusjwhoopie Год назад

always use Denso as replacements!

@orenestrada2007 Месяц назад

are we suppose to disconnect the battery before we start?

@DantheFixitMan Месяц назад

That’s probably a good idea.

@phanrin6591 20 дней назад

@mungox1 Год назад

for some reason it looks easy to drop a wrench or a plug down the back . I understand why other videos remove more pieces that are in the way

Power tools and spark plugs 🤔

@John-hj2mv 3 года назад

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Aluminum block, fine threads, and power tools don't play together well.

@glennhansel9411 Год назад

Yes, it's a no no to use power tools on spark plugs which need very little torque.

@jakehaseman984 3 года назад

You should never tighten spark plugs with power tools! And yes you should use copper anti seize on the spark plugs, also dielectric grease on the portion of the plug that goes into the coil. (rookie mistake)

@tomblobasjamesc.mccollum1740 Год назад

What about the permatex silver colored anti sieze? Can that be used on sparkplugs?

@glennhansel9411 Год назад

NO, modern spark plugs specifically do NOT need anti seize. Plug manufacturers advise against it. Research this for yourself.

@jakehaseman984 Год назад

@@glennhansel9411 I understand what the manufactures recommend. But for example I will be putting copper anti-seize on every 5.4 triton motor. I do spark plugs on just from experience. You sound like an engineer and not a technician lol .

@glennhansel9411 Год назад

@@jakehaseman984 5.4 triton motor is junk, especially the 3 valve, known for eating spark plugs. Use anti seize on that ford engine, or better yet, avoid that engine. This video deals with Toyota engines, no need for anti seize. Well designed relatively modern engines do not need anti seize..... “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” Socrates.

@jakehaseman984 Год назад

@@glennhansel9411 Unfortunately you've lost the debate before you even entered the chat. While anti seize lubricant is not required by the manufacturers. Its appreciated by technicians. Especially in the salt-belt states. I understand that in assembly plants workers use power tools or pneumatic tools. However, they are tuned to a specific torque. Most manufacturers do not recommend using impacts for tightening spark plugs into aluminum cylinder heads.
