Señorita Hadley tiene usted una manera muy peculiar de enseñar mecanica pero esa es la forma correcta de efectuar un trabajo automotriz . Have a nice and wander full eyes.
Love your videos, just found you on RUclips... You inspire me(I'm a retired mechanic😋)... I show my daughters your content, such a great role model for young women, nevermind your awesome skill in mechanics and how you articulate the job at hand.
Thank you so much!!!!!
Cringe
Shes the best. i hope you are doing well faye
I have a 2004 Tacoma with the 3.4. I have watched ALL your videos. I work on power lines, I am NOT a mechanic. Your videos have helped me out so much. Thanks. You have the best personality-
I am so glad that you have found them helpful, thank you!!
Always inspiring to see a woman not afraid to do her own auto work. Thanks for the reminder that my new plugs are still in the box ready to bolt in. My timing belt is next. Ain't this a beautiful engine? I love my 2004 Tacoma 4x4 with manual transmission. You video was much appreciated.
Awww you have my dream truck!!! I want a manual and a 4x4 so bad!! Grim is neither, but I will swap him over some day!!!
WOW. You are easy to listen to and easy to understand. And your presentation style was very relaxed, and calm. The music was a nice addition, not obnoxious like many other videos. Thank you.
I, as a mechanic and 02’ x-cab TRD manual owner 150% agree with this statement!!! Such a pleasant experience listening and watching Faye who is quickly become a modern legend. Very nice. Cheers!
Just bought a 98 4 runner about a month ago and it had been running like it was misfiring but now I know when I replaced the wires I followed what was already on it and the firing order was wrong. Thank you, found your channel a couple weeks ago and been watching them all learning about this car. Keep making videos, you’re great!!
AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much!!!
You’re very welcome, just switched them around and it’s running like new, previous owners had them crossed up bad and I was worried I was about to have to dump more money than I wanted to in it.
Thank you, Faye! That was a great tutorial and well produced. I appreciated how you focused on the work at hand and clearly filmed and explained it. Now I'm looking forward to replacing my plugs!
3:10 Replacing one spark plug at a time can prevent one from confusing the plug cables. Reading the number on the cable can be difficult when its dirty and faded.
Just pull the diagram and stop this guessing nonsense. 😅
Faye, thanks so much for this video. I had a misfire in #6 and I thought I had carbon tracking but it did not show the black line on the plugs. As it turns out the plug wire socket has deteriorated and the spark was exiting the rubber jacket and grounding against the valve cover in the "tube". Replaced the wires and all good to go. Your video demystified the process of removing the plug wires. Awesome!
I am so glad it helped!! Thank you!!!!
How did I never know the "hand tight and 1/4 turn" method of tightening the crush washer. Excellent. That alone made this entire video worth it.
I love, love, love your attention to detail and how you handle everything with care... You make things look so easy!
Thank you, Faye. Your AMAZING. This is the second time I've made use of your excellent videos for my T100. Instructional, easy to understand and not a bunch of distracting b.s. going on as you explain things or some awful METAL blasting in the background. HATE that! Lastly, LOVE your style and ways. Your absolutely GORGEOUS!
Nice job! Thank you for showing us how we can change them!
OMG, I watch so many video on spark plug replacement. Your is the most detail and easiest to work with.
Learning as I go.getting better.pops was a salesman.WHY cldnt he have been a mechanically inclined person & why did I take wood shop in hs???!?.8 yr old daughter was hanging over the fender 1\2 the time.she will know this stuff!
Great video Faye! i Just buy a 1996 4runner and i will replace spark plugs with your videos now i feel Morea confident keep the great work 😊
Thank you, followed this to change my plugs and wires today after having a misfire.
Thank you for all of your 4Runner videos, they are incredibly helpful! Please keep them coming!
Thanks Faye you make it look pretty straight forward. My Prado is miss firing so I’m starting with the plugs and leads .maybe a coil pack after that.
Hey Faye, thanks for the inspiration. Just did the plugs and wires on our 99 5VZ. No problems, and runs at least as well after the change. Keep up your good work.
Started with the plugs…Ended up rebuilding the whole engine 😂😂
That’s one rough looking setup ya got there Faye 😇
Change spark plugs on truck. Humm lots of videos. Super smart pretty girl. Let’s check this out. Wow! This gal knows her rig!! Thanks for sharing! Very helpful. Wishing you all the very best.
Wow! Great detailed how to! I cant believe ive never seen this video from you. Thank you for taking your time to make this. I will be doin my spark plugs this weekend and this really helped!
Hey, no problem!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks,Faye! Great presentation.Great visability and camera placement.I have a 2004 3.4L and I'm just gonna go for it and refer to your videos on this engine.I need to do the timing,ignition coils,and valve cover gaskets.
Thanks, this just saved me some money as in the car wash they washed the spark plugs and I didn’t know how to disassemble safely to dry them. Big thanks!
Another excellent video on the 3rd gen 4Runner! I have a '01 3400 4Runner. I was chasing down a slight engine stumble just off of idle and only when heavy throttle was applied. I added a TPS, and that helped a bit but... I checked the plugs, and they were very worn - probably original at 144K miles. I installed the proper factory plugs and the stumble and unsteady acceleration are history. Runs like a new engine.
So glad you have your channel!! My daughter has the same model 4Runner and I use your videos to help her. She lives in CO so I can’t be there to help. Thank you!! Besides she can relate more to you than some old guy like me.
Thought this video was a gimmick, I was wrong. Very helpful.
Thank you!!👍🏻
Why would you think it’s just a gimmick? Just because it’s a female doing it?
Thanks Faye! Great tip on moving that bracket to get at #6! Much easier that way!
I did it all by myself for the first thanks to your video, rock on!
God bless you. My 4 runner can actually keep up with traffic now 🤣
When I replace spark plugs, I only pull one wire at a time as I change each plug. That way you know you won't get any wires crossed. In the olden days, a tune-up also involved replacing the points and condenser and adjusting the carburetor (what's a carburetor?:)). I'm old enough to remember that; in fact, I learned to drive on a carbureted vehicle.
Faye rockin' the OG hose clamps on the radiator...#Respect.
Thank you for another awesome video! Clear instructions and closeup camera angles to really see what is going on. So glad I found your channel!!!
Aww thank you!!!!😅
I'm absolutely in love with this chick
Hi Faye! I recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. Your Videos are very informative. I own a 3rd Gen 4Runner sr5 and I do most of the service on my vehicles myself. I love how Toyota built these vehicles to last, if you properly service it. learned a lot from your videos and thank you for the detailed information.
Thanks so much!
Really Nice Video! I appreciate the explanations you give as you do the work. One thing that would have helped me more would be seeing this in real time instead of speeding up the "mundane" because it helps me absorb the information better. You provided a lot of great information but, I will have to watch the video at least 2 more times to get everything.
On another note, I love seeing a nice young lady working on cars! Women can do so much more than people give them credit for. Great job blasting through that barrier too!
Great tip - I will definitely do that in the future! Glad you liked the video!!
Your video was CLEARLY the best I watched on that subject. It was also far better than most others I have seen on other subjects. I would much rather hear relevant commentary than screaming loud bad “music”. Thanks again. You helped me walk right through that job today😊
Cool, you are so organized and smooth, better than some of these knuckleheads that just confuse you, 👍
Nice job. I like that you disconected the positive battery cable. Keep on!
Pissed me off all your talki g while i was trying to get crap done however your video helped alot more than the other guys. TY
Glad it helped you! :)
ANOTHER PERFECT PRESENTATION FROM THE PIXIE DUST GARAGE. WELL DONE FAYE! CHEERS!
Thank you!!!
The Denso K16TR11 is a copper plug and should be replaced every 30,000 miles according to the Toyota factory service manual.
thanks Faye this was one of the best tutorial on changing 4Runner plugs.
Thanks for the all the video series Faye. Just discovered you whilst working on my 02 Toyota Hilux (Tacoma) 2.7 3RZ boosted motor... doing a major overhaul all around.. mostly fuel system and reseal exhaust, fit new bigger fuel pump, looks like current one has died or could be a relay to it as its only 2yr old... and plenty of other servicing and parts getting replaced. Everything from PCVs to Oxy Sensors, just did coils and plug, rising rate fpr upgrade from smaller one, new fuel filter, bla bla.. Its a neat truck thats already totes done up. Many videos need to watch at moment. Very informative and with a female mechanics touch in yr workshop love it. Not that i need any info on plugging, i can do a damn good plugging with the best of em, but looking at vids with interest as yr working on Toyotas and i got alot to do, and some common parts and fixes :))
Wow, your charisma is unreal and your smile is contagious! You’re quite the catch! Keep cranking!
Thank you!!!
Thank YOU!
Thanks Faye for the great video on the spark plugs, i had to pull mine to see which side my head gasket is blown on.
Thanks, Faye!
This is my 7th Taco but first time doing plugs on a 5vz.
I am not a mechanic but work on all my cars and always watch a video or two before I dive in.
This was helpful.
And all things considered equal I'd much rather watch a hot chick than Bubba Asscrack.
Thanks Faye, your video gave me the confidence to try this myself. Never too old to learn something new. Please keep posting. By the way can you post a link to where I can purchase the same wire set you installed. I own a 2000 Toyota Tacoma extended cab pick up with a 5VZ-FE 3.4L V6. Thanks you are an inspiration.

i LUV that Yota TrueStart battery!
Me too! So reliable!!!!!😃
@@FayeHadley my old Taco is needing a new battery one of these days (currently pushing almost 8 years on the DieHard brand) in the midWest climate... but since the Sears store i bot it from in 2o15 has been leveled to the ground i may goto the dealer for a TrueStart... about how many years do those Yota last in your hot climate?
I see nobody mentioned, ngk plugs use a nickel plating on their threads to provide anti seize, they advise against it because it can easily cause over torquing
Do you mean it’s not advise to coat them with added anti seize paste on the threads because the NGKs are already nickel plated? Sorry I got a little confused and will be doing this for the 1st time..
@@Mike_44 that is right.
If in doubt, double check with your plug manufacturer's documentation. Most newer plugs these days advise against applying your own anti seize due to coatings and metallurgy they've added to the plug threads.
I would assume if you are buying new plugs for an old car, the manufacturer would have modernized their process here too.
Older plug manufacturing processes did not include this "premium" feature so a lot of older literature advises to add your own anti seize.
But again, double check with the plug manufacturer's documentation to see what they advise.
Also, you might want to let the engine cool a little before changing the plugs. If you do them hot they can be a little harder to get out and might not tighten down as much as you'd want.
@@AlexanderNecheff Thank you. Do you work fabricating modern spark plugs? ;)
Great video! Easy and clear instructions. Thanks for sharing!
Fun Fact: These came factory equipped with NGK on one side and Denso on the other, for no particular reason. I cant' believe how you manage to pull things loose and disconnect stuff with so little effort. And no injuries. And nothing broke. Maybe its "boomer humor", but how awesome would it be to have a wife with your skills?
Me: "Honey, can I borrow your torque wrench to tighten my spark plugs?" - Her: "No Honey - just hand tight plus half a turn is all you need"
And if you (by some miracle) happen to read the comments on videos you made nearly two years ago, what are you standing on?
Singing "I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL" You should have an electric guitar on your back. That would be an image.
Thanks for the video. Just completed plugs change on my beautiful 98 9" lifted tacoma.
Thanks for a great demo on doing plugs love it .. im on this job with confidence now ... awsome
I feel you on being paranoid about anything falling into the combustion chamber. I was swapping the carbs on a friend’s track bike and a small hose clamp fell into the front cylinder combustion chamber. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
You must have had the plugs replaced not to long ago. I just bought a 2002 Tacoma and I’m changing the plugs and they are coming out hard. I’m using a spray oil and it helps but the new ones are getting a good dose of anti seize. So they will come out when it’s time.
The package of the NGK 3967 (short taper) shows to tighten it 1/2 to 2/3s after finger tight, FYI
i Iike your videos so much very informative amazing how much women have the capacity to do as well as most of the men out there keep it up Faye !
Hi Faye. ozzstar and I are friends so I had to give him a hard time for beating me here. Thanks for the information and the steps taken for this job.
Cellmates.
Make up is flawless!
We need a Tatoo Tour.
Thank you so much for a great video!! From a new subscriber in Western Australia.
Well done Faye. I spray A LITTLE WD-40 down the plug hole to clean the threads, and use just a taste of anti seize, same as you. I expect plugs to thread in easily by hand, or I find out why. Of course any excuse to use my inherited Snap On flex head torque wrench is welcomed... Thanks for the video. I am about to replace the coils on our trusty 2001 Tundra V8 with 200K.
Thanks for sharing this video, awesome thanks 😊
Thanks Faye! Love your style!!
What do you do to keep the valve cover glasket from leaking? Back in the 1970s on MGAs we used to use RTV over the gaskets to keep them from leaking.
That was awesome! You made it look REALLY easy...I'm sure I could get it done in...about 15 hrs! (If I'm lucky)
Super job. Love yer style and following your process worked great. Thanks!
Fixed my ride. Thanks
"And my Shorty" @8:55 lol Thanks for the help
Hi dear thank full to you for excellent working information online for automechanic worker
You cleaned the intake tube nicely.
I replaced four plugs yesterday on 1 half of the V8 engine. I pulled off one side if the intake tube and bent it out of the way. Man it was tight in there!
Your smaller arms and hands would have been better suited!
Thank you! Yes, it can definitely be a benefit!
Hello Faye. Thank you for your help and you're so ku.
Thanks for sharing this video, good tips and explanation.
Great video, Faye!~ Looking forward to more. I have a 96 Tacoma with the same engine
Awesome!!!
Hey Faye, I know this is a older video, but do you need to check the gap on the spark plugs? I am a helicopter mechanic for over 30 years. I do enjoy your videos, and have owned several Toyota trucks over the years. You give great insights on how to do things on cars that I’ve never done before!
What a legend well done mate great video 😘
You Are So Badass...Don't Ever Change
✊🏽😁!!!!
Wouldn't it be a good idea to use a compressor and blow out around the plug before removing it so no crap falls into the cylinder? Especially the plug with the failed boot.
Thank you, you’re my crush now
awsum video very ez 2 follow along n very eduacational👊👍mahaloz n aloooooha💪
You cleaned up your intake tube, did you clean out the throttle body whilst you had the tube off ?. hope so for the amount of build up inside it
Yes!👍🏻
😮 WOW !! Fantastic video Keep them coming 😁
Lol...Faye you do a great job explaining everything,your presentation is great.
I've never owned a code scan tool...any recommendations?
i got to do all this.. again, thanks... you are good...
So, the bolt that holds the coil next to the firewall is stripped. My 4Runner has about 280,000 miles on it. The rest of the bolts are fine. Any ideas?
Thanks for sharing this video, great know how to do this job.
Did mine yesterday.better.more to do..question.think it's called evap box.driver side.mine makes a buzz buzz buzz sound.ideas?thx
Great Video, easy to follow, Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. But why didn't you clean the throttle body? Or did you, and you just didn't show it? Thanks.
Thank you for this video- it was super helpful!
Hey Faye 👍💪 great job!!!
This was so informative. Also, I perved on you a little bit.
...now you made her giggle... SMH XD
HI there, appreciated the video. It looked like you replaced the whole cord set due to the one crunkled spark wire. Do you suggest replacing the whole set if one ignition coil needs to be replaced, or only the one connected to the ignition coil, or even just leave the wire set alone and simply replace the ignition coil? Thank you for any response.
Fay I've got a 97 Toyota 4runner just like yours it's red and you help me do projects all the time you're incredibly cool smart funny and cool to be around. I'm sure I was thinking that it would be good fit for you to be working for like John force for a top fuel dragster. I could see you working with the big boys and running and working on the big dragsters or something like that Cause you know what you're doing and you're smart as a whip and you're positive and fun to be around and that's what it takes in my estimation. So I don't know if you read these but I've got fuel leaking on my driver's side middle spark plug area do you know what I can do I bet the guy didn't put it in tight enough now it's missing and I don't want to block my engine can you help me? What would you do should I absolutely have a magnetic 58 so I guess I don't know if you read this if you do if you can give me suggestion that would be great thank you
Do you have any videos on replacing rocker cover gaskets and also rear axel seals. Thanks and great work.
Great job, can you please provide schema of wires and plug?
Thanks for the great video.
your vids are awesome!!
