How to replace Spark Plugs on 2010-2021 4Runner and 10-14 FJ Cruiser

- A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician shows you how to replace spark plugs on the 2010-2021 Toyota 4Runner and 2010-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser.
In this video I cover the replacement procedure for the 5th gen 4runner and the FJ cruiser models with the updated 1GR-FE engine. The 2007-2009 FJ cruise had a different version of the 1GR-FE engine that was similar to previous the previous 4runner generation with the old 1GR-FE
This is a very simple and easy job and only requires very basic hand tools and should be carried out every 120,000 miles or 10 years whichever comes first.

As Toyota Fans we take pride in our stuff. And appreciate someone who’s willing to drop the knowledge of a Pro at the highest level right at our convenience. Subbed
Thank You so much!! I have just changed the plugs on my 2013 Trail Teams FJ at 92000 miles . Your method of instruction and clarity of video is sublime. Those key tips and tricks, like a magnetic socket meant the whole job went smooth as butter! One point for my style of learning, - I did the easy side first to get familiar with the process. You saved me $625 plus tax - local dealer quote!!!!
Dont know why I really enjoy driving my 4runner more so than a luxury sedan. There is something about it. Another good one AMD.
Same its something I can't even explain to my younger drivers in the family I tell em it feels like a better version of my old Crown Victoria's without the hassle
It's the rear tailgate power glass...
These Toyota SUVs drive like cars. My sister in laws all have SUVs (Ford, VW and Nissan) and NONE of them drive as well as our FJ or 4runner.
I just did this job in a couple of hours. I did not have to remove the outermost air box on the passenger side and I used it to hold the various nuts, bots and tools. As far as the secondary air injection valves that are in the way, I just removed the top two bolts and left the tube in there. It is not in the way and I've read horror stories about breaking the lower studs that hold that tube to the exhaust manifold. It is a pain to fix if you break off a rusty stud on an expensive part. Remember, this fellow is doing this job of a pretty pristine looking FJ with zero rust. My 2014 with 175,000kms of Canadian weather isn't in the same condition. Broken studs and bolt heads can ruin your day/week so I only remove what's absolutely necessary.
I’m getting ready to replace the spark plugs on my 2018 and I’m soooo glad I found this video. This video is AMAZING. Good job sir. You made my job easy because of how well you explained everything! Thank you!!!
Same here...just hit 100K miles and she is ready for some new plugs. Toyota wanted $550 to replace them.
550 dollars! Such a ripoff. It seems people these days don't know how to do anything and they end up paying through the nose for simple tasks...I'm 62 so I grew up doing my own work on my vehicles. All you youngsters out there...learn how to do things for yourself and don't give your money away to these scammers.. @@davidvasta
When working on the drivers side spark plug replacement it is a GREAT time to replace the cheap PCV Valve!! This may very well be best video on spark plug replacement for these models! Amazing! Bravo!!
Very true it’s right there might as well.
Is there a specific torque value for the PCV Valve??
@@TM-gh8ie depends what year. I know for a 2010 (which is a 5th Gen) it is 20 ft-lbs and they recommend threadlocker on 2-3 threads. Toyota adhesive 1324 or equivalent. However, I used a blue threadlocker.
Also, another YT channel has a really good video that is a bit more detailed about the plug replacement, (No affiliation) it's the vikings garage. (He is also a Licensed Toyota Mechanic)
@@NONAME-of1nwthumbs up for the Viking!
Toyota wants almost $500.00 to do this… THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I just bought a 2016 4runner SR5 last week. I have a 1997 4runner SR5 and have been doing all the mechanical work on it except for the timing belt. I was very happy to find your channel since the 2016 I just bought is a whole new world to me. Now I know I can change the sparks plugs when the time comes. Thanks for the great video and detailed explanation. I am keeping the 1997 with 206k miles as long as I can. These 4runner are amazing.
Im thinking of trying to get a 3rd gen for a 4wd rig. I already have a 5th gen but its 2wd sr5. Drives too nice to get rid of. Cheers
Thank you. I will save this for 8-10 years later😂
Thank you for taking the time to do these video's!! Makes it so much easier when you know what your getting into before you start the job! I just got a 15 Limited one owner with 120,000 and looks brand new! Wanting to make sure to get all the maintenance up to date you channel has been like a GOLD mine of instruction!!
Thank you for this video!
I got the passenger side done after work today but losing daylight. I’ll work on the driver side tomorrow. I’m definitely feeling confident about getting it done after watching this and doing half the work so far.
Great video, trans service next please. Also lubricating driveshafts....
OMG! Thank you for this video. I have a ‘18 4Runner and thank you for disclosing the recommended replacement intervals on the spark plugs.
Toyota wanted $550 this morning to replace the plugs....guess who is doing them next weekend at home. Thanks for the video.
You did an absolutely exceptional job on this video. 100% professional and extremely helpful and detailed. Excellent job. Thank you so much.
Excellent video. Luckily the 2010-2012 4Runner does not have the smog pump, making the job even easier.
Thank you AMD, this video really would help me when I am required to change the spark plugs on my 4Runner. Thank you again for all your knowledge sharing. God bless you.
I appreciate these 4Runner videos I need to do as many repairs and maintenance as I can myself...Thank you for sharing your expertise with people like me.!!! 🙂 👍🏻👍🏻
No Fluff and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
100% subbing. You kill it with your knowledge and is a huge benefit you’re a certified mechanic to Toyota 👏🏽
This is what a Master Technician looks like, Toyota should be paying him for all his great DIY videos.
He went out on his own and opened his own shop. Toyota definitely doesn't like when they lose dealership shop hours.
Yep, dealers hate him. Protect this man at all cost!
Thanks for the video much appreciated. A 4 runner is my next SUV.
This guy breaks thing down and makes life super simple. Good work man
Thank you! This was very helpful. Took about 1.5 hours being very careful not to lose any nuts or bolts.
took me half an hour very easy job
One of the best videos for this procedure. Used this for my 2015 (purchased Nov 2014) 4Runner TRD Pro. Followed it exactly except I didn't need to remove the lower air box, I could get to everything no problem with it in place. Excellent video.
Nice video, I got a 2017 4Runner. I plan to replace my plugs at 100k. I am at 48k right now, so no need to worry for a good while yet. 120k is a bit more then I want to push a set of platinum plugs.
@@EpicDrew15 that does not amaze me, I prefer to follow a more severe duty schedule with my vehicles. I live in the desert where temperatures regularly go well over 100 degrees for several weeks. Other people can do what they want, I can afford a set of spark plugs.
@@EpicDrew15 your grandpa sounds like my kind of guy hahaha. Be safe.
The split shots showing details is the best thing. Great work
Thanks AMD for another great video. I enjoy wrenching on my own vehicles. The cost savings is great too! I look forward to other 4Runner videos!
Thank you for this. On the 2007~09 FJ Cruiser, the job is a lot easier.
Great video, and included torque spec! Would love to see a video on suspension upgrade on the 4Runner!
Super clear instructions and great insight. Thank you for making such helpful and informative videos.
Ahmed. Thanks for doing these DIY videos. I appreciate watching and learning. I'd feel more confident assisting a buddy who had this kind a vehicle. Definitely would refer back to these videos.
Thank you for watching alex!
Watched your video to prepare myself. Fortunately, I was able to remove and replace plugs on the passenger side of my 2010 4runner, without having to remove anything! The plug on the driver's side closest to the firewall was a bit more challenging, but all I had to do was lift the harness off the hanger and work around the hoses. The other plugs on the driver's side came right out. Never saw the secondary injector you were referring to, but am glad I didn't have to mess with that!
Just followed this for my FJ. My experience was smooth. I would recommend:
1) universal joint sockets
2) lots of lighting
3) remove that bracket on the drivers side
I also lost a socket. Thankfully it fell all the way through to the floor.
Great video. Great job explaining everything. Great camera views. I’m subscribed now because of this video.
Thank you for the video AMD. Loving these 4R videos
I finally replaced one of the ignition coils on my '97 4 Runner a couple of months ago. They can last a long time.
Compared to my old Jeep 1999 Cherokee there’s a lot more steps here. So I am definitely gonna be doing this one myself when the time comes. Not trusting anyone else even a dealership they might forget that vacuum hose, lol. Great video, thank you sir.
Thank you for the helpful video. It is nice to have access to information like this from a cheerful and well-informed man. Wish my luck on my spark plug change for my 2013 4Runner
I have a 2013 4Runner. How did that go with yours?
AMD, I feel we are going to badly miss this old, 4.0 V6 engine when it is gone ;-)
Agreed!
Just like GM's 3800 V6.
It’s actually a pretty strong engine. The 5 speed transmission, while bulletproof, holds the engine back a bit. I’d like to see Toyota keep this engine with a 10 speed automatic and spin on oil filter.
Thanks for posting these videos. They take th "mystery" out of modern cars. I also like the benediction at the end of every video.
Thank you Sir for sharing such helpful info on this subject! Only have 4500 miles on my 21’ 4runner though this will be huge for future diy! Thanks again🙏
I would love to see a whole maintenance series on the 5th gen 4runner from AMD! Pretty pleeeaaase? Esp preventative maintenance items.
Thank you for being so thorough. I watch all your videos and will continue to watch all future videos.
Wow, the 4th gen which i own.... is so straight forward....
Excellent video. Covered everything with precise dialog and pictures. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank You, Bro makes a video for The Transmission oil change .Please
Thank you for making this video. You are always appreciated for all the tips and tricks you share here. More power to you!
This was good. Informal & precise
Thanks for the detailed video . This seems like a lot just to replace plugs but it is what it is . I love my 4 Runner . This kinda has me thinking abt waiting till I hit 120K tho 😂
Perfect video with excellent, clear and concise instructions. Thanks again!
Hello AMD, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in Toyota vehicles, I just purchased my first Toyota 4runner 2015 and I feel so happy and Blessed, it's my dream truck, it has 90,000 miles please let me know what maintenance I need to de on it so I can keep this car for many many years to come, God Willing, once again thank you and God Bless you and your family, amen
Thanks for this! I followed along and it was pretty easy. My engine doesn't have the air injection units so it was a little easier. I had a heck of a time getting the plugs out, the socket wasn't magnetic and I had to run to the home depot and grab a telescoping magnet that worked great!
Get a short piece of fuel hose that you can push over end of sparkplug to both take out the sparkplug and thread it in without cross threading
My firs automotive job outside of changing the oil and the insructions were perfect. Thanks so much.
Thanks for making this video. It was an excellent step by step instructional that made things simple for me on my 2013 4Runner.
Fantastic detailed and informative video. You make it seem so easy which gives me the confidence to tackle this job. I've been procrastinating doing this task.
Another excellent informative video. Thank you and stay safe and well.
Getting my ''new'' old 2010 4runner this weekened. Thank you for this awesome vid, I plan to do this myself when the time comes.
Thank you for this informative video! By far- one the Best videos on how to change the spark plugs on said vehicles.
Excellent video. Thanks so much for taking the time to film & edit!
just got my 2011 SR5 (this model has more room) with 110000 miles spark plugs replaced today. All I had to remove is the bracket on top of ignition coil #6. A set of socket extension set is "A MUST HAVE" for this job. It only took me about an hour. YES YOU CAN DO IT, don't let the dealer take your hard earned money away.
yes anyone can do it...if they own a garage or someplace private where they can service their own 4runner.think about that.
If I was going to buy an SUV, it would be the 4Runner. Great tutorial overall on an important task. And that was one clean ETC.
“You don’t need to remove the intake” 3 seconds later “let’s start by removing the intake” 😂😂
I believe he meant air box
He means intake manifold, like you have to in transverse v6 engines
Great video. My Toyota dealer wants $780 for this job. I’ll do it myself thanks to this!
Thank-you for this excellent video! More are needed since its impossible to procure a service manual anymore.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! You’re amazing and have saved me some money!!
I wish I knew a mechanic like you in southern az
Just picked up a 2011 trail edition. It’s only 70k miles but being 13 years old this and transmission fluid will be first maintenance. Well first was a new battery. The interstate bat in it lasted 9 years though!
Thanks for the video, very informative. Can you also do a video on fixing the valley plate coolant leak which is common on the tundras n gx460s
Thanks Ahmed! The job was easier on my Canadian 2011 as there was no air pump
Oh AMD If it was only this simple. I LOVE the tutorial. But the first nut I touched on the air injection pipe on the manifold side just snapped right off. Gotta love rust
Early 5th Gen, such as my 2010, don't have the secondary air injection systems to get in the way, making this job much easier and faster than shown. I also did not need to remove any air intake parts to access the passenger side plugs. For the entire job, I only had to remove 2 double hose guide brackets held on by plastic clips and 1 other metal bracket on the driver's side to get to the plug farthest in the rear (2 12 mm bolts). All the online videos appear to show later model 5th gen 4Runners which look way more complicated to get to all the plugs.
Thank you sir! Great explanation. Great Video!
Clear and concise, with perfect pacing. Thanks for the informative DIY video. I just did the plugs on my 2014 4Runner with 100k miles using this video. BTW you sound just like Guga from Guga Foods!
Great video. I dont own a 4runner but I still watched. Lol Can you make one for the 4cyl Camry 2015 to 2017 model. Mine has 60k miles and I'd like to do it earlier then 100k. Thank you for your great work in your videos.
Hi! Here’s a video that will help with your Camry which is essentially the same just uses a 5/8 spark plug socket ruclips.net/video/IAb9b3Hrea0/видео.html
Thank you so very much! Your video was awesome at helping me learn the process for a 2013 FJ!
My friend just replaced the spark plugs on a 2011 4Runner. Instead of using Denso long life or NGK laser iridium, she opted to use NGK ruthenium hx. She claims fuel economy improved by 1.5 mpg and starts up quicker.
Thank you for the excellent instructions highly appreciated!
Excellent video. Well done. It will help me tremendously. I’m ready to tackle this job. Many thanks.
My 2012 has no air pump. Talk about easy. I watched because I wanted to see the difference on the newer ones.
Great video. Thank you AMD.
Great video. Helped a bunch with my FJ
Straight to the point
You did great !
Thank you
Thank you that was a great video.
man i was afraid to do it myself but your video gave me confidence!
Thanks a lot. Very informative video.
What is the name of that part and the gasket mentioned at 3:27? Thanks! Great video
Great Video!! THanks! What happens when you forget to re-connect the hose? :D I made this mistake and realized it after about 100 miles and watching ur video. Hopefully it didn't cause too much damage.
Hi! The car will run very rich at idle and possibly foul the plugs. The harm would be minimal if you don’t idle the engine a lot. If there was a lot of idling I’d pull the plugs and clean them and everything will be good.
Great video! Thank you.
"you don't need to remove the intake or anything like that"... "First Step, we're going to remove the intake"... hahaha
Man a lot of stuff to move around before even getting to the spark plugs !!!!., I remember how easy it was before.....
Great video. I’ve always had trucks with Toyota 22-RE 4-banger and have been starting to do maintenance work on my 4Runner 4L-V6. I appreciate the insight of your experience and thinking as a seasoned mechanic, as you work through the process with caution points and tips…very helpful. Must see video for the 4L-V6 DIY’er. Thank you!
Humm.. i was hoping to see the cylinder order since i have and error code on #4 of my 2011 FJ 4wd, but i am pretty sure my issue is rodents & a short in the wiring harness somewhere due to the rat droppings a saw - great post, thank you!
I watched and followed this video and everything was pretty straight forward on my 2014 Trail. However, when I started it up the check engine light and A Trac lights are on. Scanned with my ScanGauge II and it was a P2438 - Air Flow / Pressure Sensor Circuit High Bank 2. Any idea why it’s all of a sudden throwing this code or how to clear? I went over all connections at least 3 times to make sure everything was connected. Thank you for all your videos
Starts video saying "don't have to remove intake" step 2... Remove intake. 😂
Liked, commented and enjoy watching your hard work! (2015 tundra, Magnuson supercharger, american racing headers, dap tune, 46 gallon transfer flow gas tank, 4.88 twist, auburn lsd 493rwhp/495rwtq 🥳
Question, I’m very impressed with the build quality of the 4Runner. Why does the air filter have that outer filter on it? Is this to filter the big ball bearing rocks? My 2019 Tacoma didn’t have this outer filter. Thank you!
Likely to keep large debris out of the filter element
My 11 4runner doesn't have secondary air injection. Makes the job much easier.
Great video....Thanks
Very nice! Thanks.
I was able to change the 6 spark plugs in my 2011 4Runner (2 wheel drive SR5 model) without having to remove the different parts! Only the heater hoses were loosen from the clips, but not removed in anyway to access the most difficult spark plug identified in the video (location closest to the driver side). I just used extensions on my ratchet set and wiggled things around. Weird.
2012 fj cruiser. I was able to also change them without removing anything.
