When my cousin gave me his father's 2000 Toyota Camry LE on May 23, 2018. I bought what the owners manual said to get. I bought NGK Sparks Plugs, Wires, and Coils. The mechanic put on the Spark plugs and wires but the mechanic wouldn't put on the new coils. I still to this day don't know why. The old spark plugs that came out of the 4 cylinder engine had only been changed once. One of the spark plugs ceramic was cracked. I can't believe my cousin was driving the Camry that way. I do some of the repairs myself because I don't trust mechanics where I live. The Camry needs alot of work. It's a challenge that I want to do. Like this video thank much.
if ur ride doesnt run smoother after new ignition parts, give the computer a few miles to learn the new parts, a lot of times computers in vehicles adapt to conditions n have to relearn new ones, u can reset the computer so it learns them faster, but most ppl dont have access to that n it figures it out on its own anyway so....jus give it a few miles, i just dealt with this exact thing on a 99 dodge 1500 5.9, it took about a week n it slowly ran better n smoother
Great video. Just installed a 3.9 L Range Rover V8 into my 1983 Land Rover Defender. Motor was running rich, you can smell the fuel, also seems to be missfiring with low fuel efficency and also low torque for a V8. Will check the plugs, coils and wires! Also running hot, will check that as well
❤i love the video and I love how thorough you are how you talk is great and I love the visual aids there is...I will buy my car karts from your company just because I love this guy
wow wow wow ….. had the blinking light on my 04 Ram changed coils , injectors , new fuel pump , cam sensor all of this thinking ohhhhh spark plugs arnt that important . stumped i came to youtube and after seeing this said hey ill pay 100 on some nice plugs …. truck runs better then it ever had thanksssssss for the video and a expensive lesson learned
I’m not popping any codes, but my 2001 Accord EX Coupe that I bought for $600 18 months ago runs really rich. It just went over 131K, and now I’m wondering if the plug and coils have ever been changed. Think I’ll be doing some inspecting and probably ordering new ones from 1A Auto. I’m an actual customer and have received no compensation for my endorsement, and I have purchased parts for most of my current and former vehicles from 1A, including an new alternator for the aforementioned Accord. It works perfectly, and the price was about 1/3 that of an OEM.
Great video ! President says they are looking into adding more Ethanol to unleaded gas what does that do to older vehicles gas system? I have a 2002 chevy suburban.
Have a 2002 Chevy blazer that will have the check engine light randomly flash when I'm driving at 60 miles per hour. Flash a bit then stop. I've replaced ignition coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, ignition control module. Still misfires. Catalytic converter isnt getting overly hot.
Changed my plugs and coils a few months ago and everything was fine. Changed my oil and took a short drive and my ses light was flashing right when I parked. On a 2013 Nissan Maxima. It gets annoying after a while.
Please make a video about CVT transmission do's and donts Nissan A Senera if you can. Or at least how to care for your transmission long term....thanks bro
Replaced coils and plugs it improved significantly for a day then steadily dropped back to maybe a mile better than it was before … what is the next step to cylinder 2 misfire….. fuel injector clean and/or replace or is there something else
I’ve seen people test which cylinder is gone bad by removing the coil pack and/or the spark plug while the engine is running (to test for decreased engine performance). My issue is, the air filter is in the way. Can i remove it while the car is running?
For those who want an English term of a check engine light blinking here’s the translation. Your car is basically having a mini stroke what would you do if your family member was having a mini stroke right in front of you.
I feel like there's more missing... For example, you've replaced all spark plugs and all coils,... What about valve cover gasket issues, fuel injector issues and after that, you still have a misfire code...? Videos 2 and 3??
i always was told blinking check engine light means more than one trouble code.i have also learned to believe on my own it means usualky more than one usually but means the car isnt getting enough piwer to function properly.from 1 or a combination of issues that wether together or alone means the car isnt making power.often a misfire for whatever reason ..which is true?
oof u might not want to yank on the wires like that :p older cars especially all rusted n corroded up ones like this, dont always cooperate well with that, then youll have urself a real headache around 8:08
Hey thanks. Had a P303 and P301 misfire codes on a Silverado, along with the dreaded ABS and StabilaTrack failure. But changed Pugs and wires and the misfire codes quite. But still have slight engine and the ABS and Stabilitrack disabled light. Any ideas?
I am currently borrowing a car from the mechanic. I have had it for almost a month and when accelerating fast today my check engine light started blinking for a few seconds but disappeared when I stopped accelerating quickly. Could I have caused this problem over a month or is it possible the car was already in bad shape? It's a 2008 Ford fiesta. I'm panicking a bit that I destroyed the car somehow lol. Thanks
If your car's checking engine light flashes 5 times then stops AND no code reported after you've turned on the ignition BUT not starting/driving the car, that's a different scenario. In this case, the car's computer is trying to tell you that you need to do a drive cycle (see the car's manual), so that the computer can collect data on the emission system to monitor!
I am having hard time starting my car. It's a Chevy Captiva 3.2 V6 240hp, 2007 4wD. Engine won't start. However the mass airflow, Throttle body, alternator, compressor, intake manifold are all disconnected from the engine. The first electrician said it's the faulty electric installation, and the 2nd electrician said it's the ECU module. Truth is the engine cranks but won't start. I am having a nightmare. Could you please help me
I have this same problem. Check engine light is on rough idle it goes up hill fine but you really have to mash on the throttle very heavily. I can't figure out what the problem is ,. You have any idea what could be wrong. It does have broken motor mounts but I don't think that is the problem. The hose or intake pipe , rubber hose that goes to the top of the motor. You have the box that has the air filter enclosure. Hook or clamped to the air inlet that goes into the manifold part ,. It had a tear in the part to the clamp onto the not the box but up by the motor. I took it off to duct tape the ripped piece, but, the whole thing ripped off. So I removed the house clamps and remove the rubber part out it back on , and clamped it down , now the check engine light is on. It wasn't before any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I have a 01 dodge Ram van 5.9 magnum I have changed the spark plug , spark plug wire’s , distributor cap , and distributor rotor it’s still running rough …… could it be the distributor out of timing ???? Or could it be my 7 year old battery doing that
My is a jeep patriot 2017 when u turn ingestion on light engine light flash three times and u crank it and drive no engine but I change spark plugs does new fuel injection system or coil change
I have a 2010 jeep grand Cherokee and the check engine light flashes I noticed the car has no coils packs just wired straight to the boot connected to the spark plug is that bad
Ok, I need some help. I compression checked my09 escape 2.5. 185,190,190,180. Cool. Only I have no idea how many psi it should be? Bought a Chilton manual at it says it's 10gb or 10 gh. I found no definitive answers online. Anyone who can help with this would be appreciated 👍
Ok .. check engine light flashing... Too dangerous to drive... How did you get it back to the studio? Did you drive it or have it towed? You didn't say.
Got a question for you I got new spark plugs in and wires in a 96 Caprice police car. And now the check engine light blink. What can I do to fix it did they put the spark plugs in wrong or did they mix the wires. Do you suppose to take one off at a time or All the wires off
You committed a MAJOR MISTAKE. MOST drivers get a STEADY Check Engine Light!!!! So, you say this video DOES NOT APPLY!!!! For those who have a FLASHING Check Engine Light, this means SHUT ENGINE OFF, SEEK IMMEDIATE REPAIR.----------- PLEASE, LEN, CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES, STOP MISLEADING VIEWERS.
This dude makes learning about auto work actually interesting/ entertaining.. Thank you for the very informative video 1A auto!
I like your energy bro, you are acknowledgeable and straight to the point, we appreciate your channel.
Thanks man!
amazing.
common sense + technical skills = this guy.
A catalytic converter that wasn’t cut off already ?? That’s a safe neighborhood!
This mechanic knows what he is talking about. I wish I could find a mechanic that knows as much about a car engine that this guy😁
Having a stressful day, but this guy lifted my spirits and made it fun to get workin one my Honda odyssey. I so appreciate the help, you cats are heroes.

I so enjoy these videos and he's made it a lot of fun!
Great job explaining every detail 👏 👍 👌. I learned something I never knew about the spark plug. Thank you very much for the tutorial 😀!
How could I not think of this before? Thank you. Great video!

Do a tune on that GTO!!!
When Len speaks, I listen

I'm working before on car mechanic we use MaxiDAS Autel Diagnostic Scan Tool.
Great teacher

That northstar was doomed from the time it came off the production line😂😉
Well Done Fully Explained Video.
Please make a video about CVT transmission do's and donts Nissan A
Senera if you can.
Or at least how to care for your transmission long term....thanks bro
A faulty ignition coil or fuel injector can also cause damage to the catalytic converter.
Man you're amazing THX❤️🔥!
Can you make a video how to replace sagging Headliner? For a 2010 Honda Civic? I’m having trouble popping the pillars off.
Replaced coils and plugs it improved significantly for a day then steadily dropped back to maybe a mile better than it was before … what is the next step to cylinder 2 misfire….. fuel injector clean and/or replace or is there something else
I trust Len to tell me the truth!
19:18 A centuries is what it meant to me...
Very helpful!!

Can see who they modeled the wacky wild inflatable arm guy after. :D \,,/(>
Engine is up front. Check ✅

I was disappointed you didn't have my part
I feel like there's more missing... For example, you've replaced all spark plugs and all coils,... What about valve cover gasket issues, fuel injector issues and after that, you still have a misfire code...?
Videos 2 and 3??

I wish I could double like this

I couldn't get that big scan tool computer thing for 350 bucks now

If it’s a Hyundai or Kia with a 4 cylinder, 99% it’s of the time it’s P1326 knock sensor detection due to spun rod bearings… ask me how I know.
Will bad fuel cause a misfire??
Awesome
Knock sensor .where is on 2014 Hyundai sonata .I got a bad knock in it.

What if the check engine light is steady ON and not flashing?
Then I believe not critical , but if flashing it is critical . Also , depends on how the car is running when steady .

My is a jeep patriot 2017 when u turn ingestion on light engine light flash three times and u crank it and drive no engine but I change spark plugs does new fuel injection system or coil change
I have a 2010 jeep grand Cherokee and the check engine light flashes I noticed the car has no coils packs just wired straight to the boot connected to the spark plug is that bad
Question I already got all of plugs an corils changed an its still mis firing on number 2 what the issue Question
I already changed new plugs and new coils. But it's still not working. Something else.
Ok, I need some help. I compression checked my09 escape 2.5. 185,190,190,180. Cool. Only I have no idea how many psi it should be? Bought a Chilton manual at it says it's 10gb or 10 gh. I found no definitive answers online. Anyone who can help with this would be appreciated 👍
Ok .. check engine light flashing... Too dangerous to drive... How did you get it back to the studio? Did you drive it or have it towed? You didn't say.

If they put new spark plugs in they could’ve damaged one it might need to be properly gapped
If I wanted a kid-friendly energy video, I’d watch the Wiggles. 1A Auto, you disappointed me with this
Doing all that just RESTORES the original gas mileage.
