I don’t know how much money you just saved me, but I can tell you I just had the easiest time diagnosing and correcting the issue I’ve almost ever had. She’s purring like a cat! Thanks much
Went to Autozone this morning and those codes came up so I made an appointment with Toyota this morning to look at my car next week. Then I found your video and went back to autozone and bought my coils and spark plugs. Even bought my own code machine. Will replace them all tomorrow morning and then will cancel Toyota appointment. I most likely paid for the parts what they would have charged for just labor. Thanks
Hey update. I did this exact check and sure enough I had a bad coil. I bought a new Denso coil online from some Toyota OEM place and I decided to change all spark plugs too with new iridiums. Perfect video to help me do this myself. I REALLY appreciate it man. 180,000 miles and running strong again.
And the sad thing is it wouldnt have taken them but 20 minutes to replace it, if not all. Then let it sit there to make it seem as if it was the necessary time spent before letting you know it's ready.
207,000 miles and just had 2 coils go litteraly a few hours apart. Felt it go from 4 to 3 to 2 cylinders. Still ran though lol. Took a few minutes to hit speed, and hills were no fun. Anyway, your video helped me diagnose which coils were bad. Thank you sir! 0h more side note, Car is running great however driving around for A-day on 2 cylinders has now seemed to have caused an o2 sensor to go bad. Ill replace that soon.
Same exact issue on my daughter's 09 corolla, P0302. I replaced all 4 coils and all the plugs, thanks for the video, saved me some time wrenching on her car!
Nice my #3 coil was bad went to autozone bought the coil ordered a set online all 4 for the same price as 1 in autozone. Replaced all new coils once they arrived and returned autozones temporary coil i borrowed 😂.
Exceptional learning moment here. I bet I got an ignition coil pack problem. Seems to have same exact issues as this car. Mines a 2009 with 180,000 miles. Just happened today. All the symptoms are as described. Now I know how to check! PS - never changed any of these and also never changed plugs before ever.
Excellent video. My 09 Corolla has 400k and never had a coil replaced. It’s in the shop but I’m almost positive new spark plugs and a coil is the issue. Thank for the video.
@@joethafoe so it was the miss fire in one of the cylinders. Than 1 month ago the engine went. She did well just bad timing. Again thanks for the video. I purchased a 2012 with 100k
My wife’s Corolla is idling like a Harley. I got codes for misfires in 3 and 4 and a bad crank shaft sensor. I switched out the sensors and it helped some but still not good. I was going to just change the plugs but I’ll have to try switching up the coils to see if the codes change first and see if I need new coils too. 👍
Great video and instructions. I was able to fix my 2006 Corolla. It had the same issue. #2 coil had to be replaced. Once, again thank you for helping others save a little money.
Hey bro, thank you very much for your video, I have the same reading on my car but thanks GOD i saw your video. Now all i have to do is order the ignition coil. Thank you and my gratitude to you.
@@FixItPhillip I'm used to old school points, plugs etc. but when I saw ignition coil and couldnt see any plugs I panic'd. Your video made me look like a master with my wife and the work i did on her car. Preach on Master Mechanic!
Thank you man i just put in a new fue injecter, and piston 2 still mist fire , and yes injector was bad i put a new 1 next plugs and check coils, thanks one more time nice video information keep up the good work and information.
Really appreciate the video! I’ve got a cylinder one misfire that isn’t resolved by replacing the coil pack and I’ve had a rough running motor for a long time with no codes. I can’t for the life of me figure out what could be causing my cylinder one misfire now, any guidance?
@@backyardwarrior8926it is a bad cylinder/piston/ring in both 1 and 2. :/ 175k on the motor. Not sure why they went bad but to fix costs more than value of car and isn’t worth it. Replacing motor myself would be cheaper. Hopefully that isn’t your issue!
I have a 2009 corolla with a cylinder 1 misfire. Tried to pull the coil pack and it was stuck so I used a hammer and long extension to break it loose, when I pulled the coil pack out it was rusty. Any idea why or how moisture gets into the port
Every ignition coil has a number. I mixed mine now I don't know the correct order which ignition goes to which spark plug. Toyota corolla VVT I 1.8 petrol
Mine was cylinder 1 I did the exact same thing ran fine for about a week and a half then the problem came back could it be a faulty coil? Any recommendations?
Hey Philip Great Video! Just wondering what OBD tool you use for diagnostics? OR if you could any reviews on the OBD Diagnostic Toolkit, that would be awesome too! Keep up the awesome videos!
So coil and spark plug replaced but still getting Po301 on 2014 Corolla with 111k miles... Any idea? I reset the Odb runs well for about 3 miles then light comes back on
Hi I have 2006 Corolla car suddenly shake and get code p0351 I replace coil of cylinder 1 and 4 plugs and it doesn’t fixed. I checked wires and don’t see a dommage. What can it be?
I've never got a amazon one, sounds too cheap to be a good quality one, you might get lucky and it'll work fine, but me personally I wouldn't get a super cheapy one.
.Thank you FixitPhilip. I notice that you didn't use anti seize compound on the spark plug threads nor dielectric grease on the coil boot. Do you think theses would be helpful?
I changed the coil and spark plug on my 10 Corolla 1.8 on cylinder 2. I can still hear a misfire but the code does not show up on my ObD11. What do you think it is?
Bro ur gona have to take it in to a mechanic and have him run a compression test on each cylinder and see if any of them is losing compression..that's why ur check engine light is on...happened to me...2000 Toyota Corolla...installed new sparks plugs ngk,coil packs and check engine light still was on .it ran alil bit smoother but took it in to my mechanic guy and ran the test and sure shut my 2nd cylinder is the culprit..told me for $600 he can do it cuz he needs to take everything apart and install new parts...hope this helps u out
No change when swapping coils or with a new coil, car runs smooth for a couple hundred feet of driving then misfire comes back, shut it off turning back on car runs good for a short time them misfire is back, bad fuel injector or possibly pcm is shutting off power to the injector? A couple of weeks ago multi cylinder misfire came up, replaced all coils was fine for a couple of weeks until now, 236,000 miles on car. There's another video on here where a shop replaced the plugs coils maybe injectors and the pcm for a similiar issue, it was ultimately diagnosed as a dead cylinder and the engine had to be replaced. I'm trying to Help my neighbor by fixing her car, I don't have a scan tool however just an actron code reader, I'm stumped.
Its possible but it would probably need to be a bigger vacuum leak. Also would probably have a lean code as well. You can always get a smoke test done to see if there are any vacuum leak. Good luck dan
Hey buddy. Its there a way you can help me out. Look i took my toyota corolla 09 1.8 liter to O'Reilly so they put the scanner and came up that the cylinder 4 has a misfire. Right!!! So i bought a new coil and all 4 sparkplugs and its keep appearing the same #4 cylinder so what can't i do.
P0302 is cylinder 2 misfire, could be a coil, spark plug, injector, compression ect... but yes p0302 indicates its misfiring on #2, which is 2nd to the front of the engine on this car.
Check wiring make sure there is no rodent damage. You can also check for vacuum leaks. Check for fuel injector operation and cylinder compression. You may have to get it diagnosed
Thanks for a great troubleshooting vide. I also got P0302 code in my corolla. Anyone please advise me if I did this right. I swapped the coil 1 with coil 2 and start the engine - still same code. So I think the coil is good but spark plug in 2 is bad. Anyway I ordered new spark plugs and waiting for delivery. Will update after I got the spark plugs replaced.
I'm having a issue with coils right now on 2003 Corolla. My in law changed the plugs and he was putting the coil back in and apparently he dropped a piece of plastic from the socket packet he jus bought. I didn't notice bcuz he started on his own. Today i looked in there and plastic was not allowing the boot to go over, so like a genius he holds it down and tightens it. I think that damaged my coil bcuz car was running fine before, now it's misfiring, so im waiting on my set of coils to come in. Jus gonna change them all i think they are manufactured part and this car has nearly 300,000 miles on it.

And the sad thing is it wouldnt have taken them but 20 minutes to replace it, if not all. Then let it sit there to make it seem as if it was the necessary time spent before letting you know it's ready.
Yeah the factory coils like $199 each. Unless you get the aftermarket for like $49 each. About $150 an hour for labor plus taxes fees 422.00 lmao
I guess Toyota must ask you to replace all of the 4 coils. Otherwise, the cost shouldn't be so expensive.

How common are multiple misfires caused by an intake gasket?
Its possible but it would probably need to be a bigger vacuum leak. Also would probably have a lean code as well. You can always get a smoke test done to see if there are any vacuum leak. Good luck dan
