Great video. Everything explained really well, no background noise nicely filmed. Thank you.
@@mitchhanick3600 Thanks! Glad this video was helpful 🙂
Thank you!!! Shop took 4 days to get back to me to tell me I needed new spark plugs and ignition coils. Wanted to charge me $1,300 for the job.
Ended up buying all the tools and parts I needed for $700 and did it myself in 2 hours following along with your video. You saved me so much money and time! Thank you!
@@Pickle_Panther Awesome! Glad this was helpful. And now you have more tools to do other repairs in the future! Win win 👊
Thank you for this video! I am definitely not a car guy and was able to do front and back coils no problem because of how straightforward your video was. You're the man!
Awesome! I know that feeling when you can work on your own things and save some money too 🙂
Thanks for including links to the best plugs and coils - I also ordered a 3/8" drive u-joint, magnetic 5/8" spark plug socket, 12mm deep socket, and gaskets, which were a little hard to identify so you might add links to them too - Fel-Pro MS 96786 and 61445. Excellent video, thanks!
@@HartzHomestead Thanks for your comment! I'll add those gaskets 👍. Glad this video was helpful 🙂
I watch tons of repair videos for my cars and appliances, and this one is one of the best I've ever seen, on any topic. It is exactly the right length, given the complexity of the work. Every bolt size is clearly called out so you know what tool to use next. He very clearly explains how to locate the two hidden bolts in back. Applying anti-seize to the spark plugs turned out to be a great recommendation. The sequence that he recommends for everything is perfect. Everything is clearly lit and well focussed, even in a dark engine bar. All RUclips
creators should watch this video as a masterclass.
Thanks for your comment! Glad this video was helpful 🙂
This is one of the best DYI car repair video with subtle hints and tricks! I just subscribed.
Glad this video was helpful 🙂
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive I did this today on my daughter's 2010 Rav4 V6 with 108k miles on it. Went smoothly thanks to your video! Took me about 3 hours!
Thank you so much for this video. You are a life saver! And a money saver too! Seriously, really appreciate how easy and straightforward you made this.
@@Woodwolf807 Glad this video was helpful 🙂
Literally the best video othe there. So detailed and easy to follow,thank you.
@@nazarettos6987 You're welcome! Glad this video was helpful 🙂
I'll get right on this. Nice tools!
Thanks for your suggestions on the tools need to make the job easier
@@jefflabanc you're welcome!
very informative. thanks
I always use anti-seize on spark plugs that go into aluminum threads. I never had a misfire, stuck plug or damaged threads.
Muy Bueno tu video muchas gracias mas videos asi
What do you do if you break the lock on the pigtail connector
Nothing. The connector will stay in place once you plug it back in. I've seen lots of Toyotas with broken connector locks and it's never been an issue 👍
You can use a zip tie, rtv (just a dab) to "glue" the pigtail in place or use eletrical tape. Anything to ensure pigtail doesn't come loose due to vibration.
I soldered a new pigtail connector on 2 cylinders. The black ones broke and the gray ones did not
Your are the best
@@miladtalakesh2500 Glad this video was helpful 🙂
What does it mean to “torque it up” is that just tightening? What was that special wrench he was using?
@@KodaBear-j2f That means to use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts. A torque wrench ensures proper tightening. The most common thing is to over tighten and strip/ break a bolt.
Quick question, Can i mix and match spark plugs and the coils?
@@rexei2113 Do you mean using different brands of coils and plugs?
Ignition coils are pretty expensive compared to the plugs. Should I change them when I put in new plugs, or can I roll with the old ones?
Good question. That's up to you. A lot of times I reuse the old coils, especially if there aren't any misfires. This vehicle had a slight misfire and over 200k miles so the customer opted for new coils to save on labor down the road. But it is quite a bit more expensive. You can compromise and buy three for the back since they are buried then if one of the front fails those are easy. Or just roll with the old ones.
is removing the manifold for the rear 3 100% necessary or just make things easier
I saw another video where they showed a way to avoid it but it looked much harder and the mechanic seemed to mention that it wouldn't work on all models.
Nice job tanks
What brand of spark plugs is best for a 2008 Toyota RAV4?"
@@miladtalakesh2500 Either NGK iridium or Denso iridium 👍
Do i disconnect battery?
It's not necessary because you're not working around any live wires. But it doesn't hurt if you want to be extra cautious 👍
alwaysn safe to remove the negative terminal on the battey whenever you're working on anything electrical or with ignition
If I could give you 100 likes for this video,I would.
this man took 10 mins yet mechanics will charge us $900
@@Greedxgreed The book time for this job is 2 hours. Depending on your skill level I would expect at least that much time to complete the repair 👍
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive Haven't worked on a rav4 except for replacing the starter, took 20 minutes for that, but still I hate the design because everything seems hard to get to compared to other cars I've owned. I am not looking forward to doing the spark plugs.
