I wish I had watched this a few months ago when I had a tuneup done on my 2000 sienna. They told me they had to take the engine apart and that was why it cost me 700! I will never go back to that shop now and I've been there a few times. Thank you!
Hi Sherrie, don't be too hard on yourself. We learn and we grow. We keep moving forward! 🙂
thanks for the help! I actually didn't even need to take off the cowling for the back plugs!
Good job! I have seen people do it that way, but I like to have more room. :)
I was looking for a video on how to change the spark plugs without removing the intake and I found this one. Thank you for ur time.
You're welcome! :)
Superb tutorial! Very understandable, perfect pacing, clear and well-lit camera work.
Thanks David. Glad it helped!
That trick at the end is pretty handy! Thanks
Hey, we all learn from each other! :)
Nicely done.
Thanks for the video!!! Worked EPICALLY.
You're welcome!
A very good how to change the plugs on this van without taking off the Air intake
Thanks Jeremy. Hope you are enjoying your Sienna!
5:30 finally . I watched several videos where mechanics just throw spark plugs in without anti seize. I did that ones and spark plugs were bonded so badly to the block that mechanic on service station couldn't replace them later on. He had to soak spark plugs in penetrating oil for couple of hours. Since then I always use anti seize. Only I use Copper for high temperature. Thanks for video.
Thanks for your comment Serg. You are so right!
Great job on the video. Clear, concise and understandable.
Thanks William. Enjoy your Sienna! :)
Thank God it didn't involve removing the intake manifold. That was my biggest fear when I started watching.
And thank you for the outstanding lesson.
Now I've got work to do
Good luck with your repair! :)
Thank you for the video! I was about to remove the whole manifold because of another guy making a video and removing everything lol you saved me time and unnecessary work!!
No problem. This was my first video ever and I hoped it would help someone. :)
Excellent tutorial. Well done.
Thanks Dan. My first attempt at video! :)
Excellent job I lear a couple of thing I didn't know 👌
Thanks Claudio! If you are like me, we keep learning all the time. :)
Man appreciate that too Good looking out man with the paper towel fix !!!
Thanks Eric. Yes, that paper towel works like a charm!
The most concise I've seen.
Thanks Tim, hope it helped!
@@Pen_Pusher Wish I did this when I put my struts on in October.....might forgo cowl removal and attempt this engine hug. I knew how to do this I just like straight forward tutorials and enjoy comparing..good job.
@@timothycreamer8610 Yes, that can work too. I'm not sure what the frustration level would be. Hopefully it's a breeze!
The wiper-motor should come off together with the lower cowl. (Don't turn those two-bolts.)
It's easy-peasy to disconnect its electrical harness if you just roll the cowl over -- a bit.
You omitted the PCV valve story. One should ALWAYS swap out your PCV valve during the spark plug R&R procedure.
They are cheap... and so easy to work on with the cowl out of the way. (The PCV valve connection line gets in the way of the spark plug swap.)
I liked your tissue paper trick -- a lot.
Steel threads into aluminum blocks => always use anti-seize goop. So, good move.
But anti-seize lubricates threads, both ways. So you need to back off your torque setting. Steel into aluminum = risk.
I would always blow clean the Mass Air Flow sensor during a plug R&R. I use the CRC stuff. It takes 60-seconds -- with the cowl removed.
Wobbles and extensions make it possible to turn most of the spark plug threads from just in front of the fire wall... per your video. Nice.
Thanks David. Good comments! I did the PVC on another, short video. Could have included it here. :)
These spark plug locations are horribly designed. I have a 98 Sienna and have to do the same. I’ve saved most of your videos and you’re a great mechanic
I also don't like the fact that it takes so much work to do something as basic as spark plugs. :)
LOL I had a guy last night tell me he needed his plugs changed on his 2000 Sienna. I watched all of these terrible videos tell you to take all of this stuff off. You have enough room to get your hand and ratchet under the rear of the intake manifold to do the rear plugs. Took me 36 minutes start to finish. Charged $150 for labor 😂😂😂
Well done! 👍
Would of been nice to show how you got to the back plugs
Yeah, tough to video there. You just have to go by feel.
What Is the foot pounds for this vehicle I cant find it in the manual
It is not in the owners manual, but you will find it in the repair manual. Of course, I can't give advice on your vehicle, but without prejudice I can give you information about my vehicle. My spark plugs are 13 ft/lbs.
Question, I see many spark plug videos, nobody mentions when to do the coils. Should change the coil packs while in there? Or not unless throwing a code etc
I am not an expert on that. Maybe someone who knows more can comment. I am not bothering with coil packs until I see a code. :)
@@Pen_Pusher which is what I am tempted to do due to being poor 😅
@@hehunches Haha we are in the same boat!
How did you get your engine room so clean?
Haha You noticed! That will have to be a new video, I guess.
@@Pen_Pusher okay I look forward to it.
@@Pen_Pusher yup i also noticed the clean engine. I just cleaned my 04 sienna and changed the coils and spark Plugs.
absurdly clean, almost wonder if he didn't make this video 10 years ago and held on to it ;)
@@bartuniquenamehere Haha Since I work on cars for fun and not to make a living I can afford to spend time cleaning my engine. A nice clean will last you quite a while and make working on it so much more enjoyable. :)
You went through all that work to put in the wrong plugs? They have to be double electrode dude.
Well, I have been driving on those for the last 10 years. :)
Sorry. Can't trust your advice. From the very beginning of your video everything looks too clean, and the plastic, etc. in too good of shape for a twenty-year-old vehicle. This has got to all be fake. CGI perhaps?
All joking aside, the ignition coils on my 2001 Sienna XLE look entirely different, and I'm the original owner, and know they are the factory originals that came with the vehicle. Mine have an annoying plastic clip on the connector that all too easily breaks.
Haha Here is the secret: mothers.com/products/back-to-black-trim-and-plastic-restorer-06112
Take your time with those plastic clips on the connectors! :)
