Detailed Spark Plug Replacement Toyota Corolla 1998 - 2002 

thank you for this. i managed to fix my old toyota with new spark plugs and now it drives like a dream.

100km later this video is the best! I've got 354,000km on my old Corolla. Yup, it's an oil burner but in 5 years I've had no breakdowns, no repairs, just one brake job cuz it's a standard :)

Thank you for posting this video I changed the spark plugs and clean the maf sensor, and now it pulls faster than before

Before you get started removing the cover, disconnect the battery cable.

So, I am watching this video because my husband's 1999 Toyota Corolla SE has its "check engine light" on, has shown that there is a "P0302" code issue, and has failed its emission test. So, we are going to .... well my HUSBAND is going to ... follow your video and change his own (his car's) spark plugs. Thanks a lot!

Whew, Lad! Address that positive battery terminal at once! I just bought a 2002 Chevy Prizm and it was exactly like that. I read it's from the alternator overcharging the battery and it's copper sulfate. That was the first bit of work I did to the car. I scraped every bit of scrapable corrosion off, then used that Noco battery acid neutralizer spray on it. One other thing I'll mention is you put way too much anti-seize lubricant on those threads. Most mechanics just say not to even use it on spark plugs. Don't really want them lubricated and able to back out due to vibration anyway.

Great video! Very easy to duplicate in action! And very happy birds around that area where he's doing the work LOL

I thought NGK recommends no anti-seize?

Thanks alot bro m life saver. They were quoting me 246$ for parts and labor

Just bought a 2001 Corolla and this video is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent detailed instructions. Was that a vacuum or air compressor you used? thanks very much

Everyones always talking about these engines burning oil and needing a rebuild. I see so many of these cars for sale with well over 200k on them. Mines might use maybe a half quart between oil changes. It calls for thin 5 30 oil, Go a little thicker with a quality 10 30 weight oil, keep an eye on the level and youll be fine.

Please tell me the exact/ tools size(is it metric ?) of spark plugs removal / installation and can i just use any small vacuum to remove the debris ?

Great job and fine camera shots! (I would remind folks to always let the engine get cold before starting this.) Question: Don't we need to put a dab of dielectric grease inside the coil pack before reinstalling it?

That was undoubtedly a good car back in the year 2000 but they gave those engines serious oil consumption problems due to the design of their pistons, pity that the repair is so expensive because they really gave a great service for more than 15 years or 250,000 km .

great video I watch you and Chris fix too both great how can I get my hands on an air blower or vacuum you mentioned in the beginning to clean the cyljnders

My autozone doesn’t carry those ngk ifr5t11 sparkplugs, any recommendations on what other sparkplugs I should use?

what size extension bar are you using? I found a 12 inch bar on amazon 3/8 with the 5/8 magnetic plug puller, then a 3/8 drive torque wrench set. my plugs are on the way. i need the wright extension bar length. oz

Thanks man, really made this job easy.

Good job buddy

I'm having trouble removing my clip so I was watching intently and just about the time you undid the 1st clip you had your hand entirely covering the clip and I couldn't see what you did to get the clip off

Hmm I always thought the factory plugs were Denso iridiums.

Some plugs show on the box NOT to use anti-seize. Follow that... not a video.

I have a 1998 Toyota Corolla. I have a problem. It won't start. It hits the starter and sparks for three seconds, then it doesn't start.

You don't need music on this video 😂 that bird already making nice music

Bought a 2001 Celica. Couldn't find the right PCV valve. It's an engine for a Corolla or Matrix ! How can I find casting numbers on 1.8 ? If in back on drivers side, I have tried and can't see it anywhere. Thanks !

Does the ngk irridum ix come already anti-seized? or i would have to get some antiseize myself

thanks. great video. helps a lot

What sensor (white small box shaped)is to the right of oil cap?

Does anyone know the proper torque for a 2005 Toyota Corolla? Looking online I get both 18lb ft and 13lb ft

I have the 2000 Chevy prizm same scenario .my engine light comes on sometimes and it said random misfires will this take care of it I hope

Ik this is really late but do u need the grease or whatever it is to put on the spark plugs?

Good

My Corolla 2009 is showing engine light, with cylinder 2 misfire... what to do with this ?? Is it something serious ??

This helped thanks for the vid

+chasiu75 Should i worry if one of the bolts doesn't tie down the coils since i probably stripped it? The bolts I am talking about is in time 3:22 of the video.

What is the name of the rail you took off , I am looking for the electrical connections to that.

How do I get the info for the factory specifications?

Does anyone know what the tool he used to mesure the presure was?

Hey on one of my coil packs, the bolt that tightens it won't tighten. Right now the coil pack is in but its loose because of this bolt. I took the pack out and the bolt was able to tighten in the hole so I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?

do they have to be iridium? i bought the ngk platinum alloy spark plugs instead

Today tomorrow Toyota 👈👈👈

I'm pretty sure that torque spec is including the anti seize application
