I will do the hardest ones on the drivers side first; one at a time, so that the job gets easier as it goes. That has always been my nature: doing the most challenging parts first.
How did that go? Did you notice improvement over OEM coil and when the plugs were new? Worth the extra money that will pay for itself in fuel costs to replace working Denso coil packs?
Jose You are a heck of a dude to remove that the way you did. Congratulations. yet they want you to remove the intake manifold what a bunch of crap. Keith
I guess as a professional mechanic (own an automotive business) zipping these intake plenums off is just a walk in the park. It gives me a chance to inspect and replace other wear items that are truly hidden by the plenum. Things like the PCV, Valve Covers and associated gaskets, vent lines for the crank case, throttle body cleanliness, and MAP sensor cleanliness. You can go shoving your hand into tight areas to avoid removing that plenum, sure. But you may miss other items that need attention in the process. Just my .02
Also you are right..... maybe if the truck was 10 years old or so. But this is a fairly new truck. It’s overkill to do what you said on such a new and reliable vehicle. But I see that since you are a Professional Mechanic obviously you would convince a costumer to have this extra job done (at extra cost) and make more money.
I've found that I save time by removing the plenum vs trying to finagle my way around the driver side stuff. It took me right around an hour to remove the plenum, inspect and clean any associated parts, replace plugs,and reassemble. These 2gr engines are very simple to service and might seem very daunting to those unfamiliar with them.
Hi JM AutoWorks San Antonio. Austin 2016 Tacoma double cab 4x4 off-road owner. So I have to remove my intake plenum and I"m not sure of the process. I have to rewire a harness that was chewed by mice and to a spark plug change. Any advice or resources you might know of to help explain the process? I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you!

Just did mine, not that hard, just hard to get to. About 4 hours the first time, but lots of breaks in between as I'm 72 Y.O. it will be a breeze in 60,000 miles.
Great to show how to change spark plugs on 3rd Generation Tacoma. However, the left side of engine spark plug change leaves out the 6th spark plug at back of engine completely. It fails to show the removal of the rear manifold side bracket that must be unbolted on the top bolt and loosen the bottom that is very difficult to access. In addition, the 10mm bolt that secures the foam pad on top of the rear engine head. As a note, spark plug should be torqued to 15 ft lbs and a very light coating of anti seize on new plug treads before installing.
Hello my friend I just subscribed to your channel. I think you commented on another video to me about an M.2 But anyway I like the Toyota a lot. But like any car nowadays. Look at how hard things are to get at. What a pain in the You know. Keith

Brother thank you for the simple explanation! I just saved $800 at the Toyota business 🤦♂️
The torque spec for the plugs is 13 ft.-lbs.
Awesome brotha! Thank you for the info. I’m installing Ripp super coils and NGK plugs
How did that go? Did you notice improvement over OEM coil and when the plugs were new? Worth the extra money that will pay for itself in fuel costs to replace working Denso coil packs?
Hr❤ great video this is the best 1 i found showed me exactly what to do
Sweet thanks bro looks simple enough
How did you even get to the bolts on the bottom on the black bracket on drives side?????
Thanks bro, any tips? First time doing it to my homies 18 tacoma too.
It looks like the ones for 2 and 6 will be the hardest, especially with the foam over it. I'm using Denso on mine.
Drivers side middle is a real bitch
Jose
You are a heck of a dude to remove that the way you did.
Congratulations.
yet they want you to remove the intake manifold what a bunch of crap.

Grate video.
How many miles were on the vehicle at the time of replacement?
It’s recommended the spark plugs are replaced anywhere from 75k-125k miles, but that’s just Tacoma. So don’t take my word for it
Dude the middle one was the hardest one. Wtf haha
Thank you for a succinct video! The other guys can take a lesson from you.

It's a 2018......and a toyota......most likely damage more parts removing more than what is needed....
Also you are right..... maybe if the truck was 10 years old or so. But this is a fairly new truck. It’s overkill to do what you said on such a new and reliable vehicle.
