Took about 90 minutes, including taking pics and cleaning a few things as I went. I also moved the throttle cable bracket back towards the passenger side (10mm bolt):
#How to install spark plug boot driver#
Moving to the driver side, it's necessary to move some things out of the way starting with the ground wire next to the diagnostic plug (10mm bolt):ġ0. This is one of those things I probably need to replace:ĩ. I did not have anti-seize to put on the plug threads but it is recommended.īefore I put the passenger side back together, I took a good look at things under the intake that I normally can't see. This gave me the "feel" I wanted to make sure the plugs were not cross-threaded. I used a parts grabber on the end of the plug to re-install the plugs. Tip: Now would be a good time to check the gap and apply some anti-seize to the threads.Ĩ. I used 2 extensions on my 5/8" plug socket to get to the plugs: Remove the coil packs by pulling gently off the top of the plugs:ħ. Unplug the trigger wire from each of the coil packs and remove the 10mm bolt holding it to the valve cover.Ĭhanging the plugs on the passenger side is pretty easy, actually.Ħ. Release catch by sliding the tip of a flat screwdriver under the latch and pull up on the plug wire boot.ĥ. If your plug wires are not different lengths, then removing them one at a time is advised. Due to the custom stock lengths, there's not much chance of mixing them up so I removed all 3. Remove the 3 plug wires from the coil packs. Now you can clearly see the 3 coil packs and the plug wires leading to the driver side:Ĥ. Remove the lower end of the intake first, drop it down into the engine bay, pull upper end off throttle body, then remove the intake from the engine bay. Remove 3 vacuum tubes from the box, loosen the upper and lower hose clamps.ģ. Remove the wiring harness from the left side of the intake (2 places):Ģ.
I've marked the various things that need to be detatched, unplugged, or loosened on the intake to remove the section between the filter box and the throttle body:ġ. The sleeve material is easily cut to length with a pair of. Measure the wire, then cut the sleeve approximately 1 to 1.5 inches shorter than the measured length. View of the passenger side, coil packs obscured by intake. To install the sleeves, one ignition wire boot must be removed it doesn’t matter if it’s on the distributor cap end or the spark plug end. View of the plug locations on driver's side: 10mm box end wrench (mine are ratcheting, very helpful) I bought six NGK BKR5EKB-11 plugs from Advance Auto for just under $26. EDIT (): Updated images with links to PostImage ().Ĭouldn't find a decent write-up on changing the spark plugs in my 3rd gen T4R, so wrote one up.
