Overall good, solid video! I think my only suggestion would be showing the entire procedure. Symptoms, scanning the vehicle, repair and then how the vehicle reacted to the replacements or repairs.
Great video! I don’t mind the music, but you could buy a cheap røde lav mic and just wear the microphone under your shirt and clip it on the collar for better audio. Procedure very well explained compared to A LOT of other auto tutorials. You’re the man. Keep it up.
Thanks man for this. Have never done it before so appreciate your showing me how it's done. I have a 2005 so assume it's pretty much the same. And I like the way you hadn't pre-loosened bolts prior to making the video. Top stuff.
I hope you did it right unlike this video and focus on the details. The Throttle Body Gasket cannot be reused! Manual specifically states that. Spark plugs must be torque to 13ft lbs. And please don't leave the wires dangling like that! In the SUPRA it comes with wire guides that keep them nice and neat. I'm in the process of working on my 98 right now too. This is the 2nd time I'm changing out the spark plugs. If you looking for Part Numbers and discount let me know I'll refer you!
I did this today.. just a heads up for everyone, you’re going to need some sealant. And don’t forget where you took the screws out from... this fixes a check engine light and a blinking trac off light.
I’m having problems with my throttle body cable. I have to much slack and I can’t seem to have a way for the cable not to be lose when I reinstall it and when I do I turn on the car and it just raises rpm’s high
Hey man , came across your video yesterday. Your video was great. Super informative and easy to follow that my girlfriend changed her spark plugs on her own. She made me just hold the light. Gave me beta vibes lmao. Anyways, we just wanted to give you a like and a big thank you.
I have random/multiple cylinder misfires (code p0300) Car runs great still. But I want to change my spark plugs and coils on my 02 is300 to see if that’s the issue. I heard NGK lithium spark plugs are great as well do you know what coil packs are recommended for is300?
4.9 out of 5 stars 33Reviews NGK # 6774 LASER IRIDIUM Premium Spark Plugs IZFR6K-13 Those are the best OE replacement plugs. If you go to rockauto.com they have the best prices for OE replacement coils. But the issue is most likely oil leaking into the cylinder head from bad valve cover gasket. So I recommend replacing the VCG and the plugs coils should be good
I get misfire occasionally on cylinder 5 when it’s hot out and I accelerate. Flashing trac and cel, I did plugs packs and wires about 30 k ago plugs are oem but everything else after market and cheap wires. Think it might be the wires?
Possible the ignition coil is bad. Easy way to tell is to replace the misfire coils to a cylinder that’s good and see if the misfire switches to the cylinder you replaced it to
Nice job! Can you help me? I have 99 GS300 with misfire on #3, I decided to change all such as wires, plugs, and coils ((3)). Problem acted up again: sakes, plow-by, when acerated.... I replaced 3 broken plugs for the coils, which I thought that may caused the problem due to possible wrong location, neg. / pos. Wires..but it shouldn't because the #3 cyn. still the problem. Thanks in advance.
Homie; you should never use anything but hand tools when removing spark plugs. It’s not worth the time if you strip the spark plug. Thanks for the vid though. Slow is fast bro…roll slow. Aloha from the 808
What misfires is the car having ? I have an 02 and it’s giving me the check engine light, giving error code p1121 P1121 LEXUS - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Range/Performance Problem. Have you encountered this issue ???
I did this too the T and now my CEL is telling me cyl 1 3 and 5 are misfiring.ive done everything To the T, meaning I’ve confirmed everything is where it should be. It wasn’t throwing these codes before. Any ideas?
I would first try and clear the code and see if it comes back. Other than mixing up the wires or not having them plugged all the way on to the spark plugs or the coil plugs completely on to the coils. It could be a possibility that the vehicle was on accessory and the plugs were unplugged. Throwing a code. Also the injectors often go bad on lexus/toyotas throwing a misfire code.
its not too bad once you start getting into it! Personally i think its a fun way to learn how to take things apart at the same time, gaining the gratification of DIY
Arturo Salinas I don't think you need to do that if you have the right plugs. Always try to go with OEM from the manual. It doesn't give you more horsepower if you buy "better" plugs, unless you totally modify your engine, then you might need different ones.
Thanks for the video. But you really need to either remove the background music or turn the volume of it way down. It is really loud and drowns you out a bit making it hard to follow. Thanks.
Christina Campbell yeah I know I apologize for that I learned that. In all my future videos I drastically reduced the music volume. I like the aspect that the music gives to the videos but I completely agree with you. The music only stays on for 2-3 minutes
Good news: did everything and got it back together. Bad news: oil in all of the spark plugs so we dodnt replace them looks like the shop is where shes going
Oil in all the spark plug cylinders is a sign that your valve cover gaskets need to replaced, it is a fairly easy job, just takes a little time and patience
Michael Trinajstic make sure all wires or coils are plugged in make sure intake hose is securely connected or maf sensor. Check all connections and scan vehicle if you have a scanner
Yea is not that bad. Besides that Engine is Concrete!!! You can put easily 250K miles on it with NO oil leaks!!! Trust me I have that same engine in my car!!!
You can take them out no problem. It's the inexperience of people that have issues stripping the threads putting them back in ive been doing this for 10 years and I've never stripped a plug
I know this is old but please help me I'm having misfiring issue the car was running okay but had leg and lack of power so I change the spark plugs they were the same ones but I'm still having misfiring issues I think it's because I didn't change one out please help me
Cartoonz N 2JZ did you ever get it figured out? You have to check the codes and see which one is misfiring. Most likely the coil is bad or the injector. Those are the most common culprits. Easy check to see I'f the coil is bad is to just switch the suspected bad one with a easy to reach good and and the bad coil should switch to the cylinder when you rescan it
Thanks for a clear detailed video on how to disassemble the parts necessary to get to the spark plugs AND the reassembly process.
Great video, I’m a visual learner and this was very straight forward. I’m gonna tackle this on the weekend. Thanks
Overall good, solid video! I think my only suggestion would be showing the entire procedure. Symptoms, scanning the vehicle, repair and then how the vehicle reacted to the replacements or repairs.
Jovin Flores I sooooo agree
great clip, music too loud , I like to hear what you are saying. Thank you, i like your clips

Awesome informative video. Changed the plugs on my 98 Supra 2JZ-GE just by watching this video
Awesome! I'm glad my video was helpful to you!

And it run perfectly after???😆😆😆..well done.👏👏👏..I am too scared to try😥😥😥
@@azndrgnboi34 I also thought removing All the Spark Plugs and leaving all the Cylinders exposed wasn't clever...especially if the vid is tutorial. ..
Great video. No music necessary. Rather her your instructions.
Hey bruv! Excellent video. Saved me so much time on my IS300. I'M now subscribed!!!
This video deserves 1000000 more views for the shit you helped me with, good work man
Nice! Thank you I appreciate the love! I'm glad I could be of assistance!
LifeTac my pleasure bro, wish the clips for the electrical plugs werent so brittle lmfao
Nice video bro 👌
Would be cool if you had shown the problem before and after.
Socket for a handle is good idea! Good video!
When putting back on the rubber plenum spacer, is it necessary to buy a new one or use sealant? what if it leaks? :(
I like your video
Great video bro I have 2001 as well I still have a couple questions???
How do you get out the camshaft sensor from the 2002 gs300 lexus injection bar blocking the camshaft sensor
I did this today.. just a heads up for everyone, you’re going to need some sealant. And don’t forget where you took the screws out from... this fixes a check engine light and a blinking trac off light.
sealant for what if you dont mind me asking
@@mathewduarte7387 hey!!! You need if for when you’re putting that spacer back. The part he removed at 4:50
@@mathewduarte7387 I’m not exactly sure what kind since I didn’t buy it from the store.. just had some sealant lying around and used that...
ultra grey or oil resistant black rtv silicone
No Torques My Man? Also, can we get a heads up on the coils and wires? Cool video Dude!!!!
Oh this is gonna be fun. Lol. Oh well, totally worth it for what I'm driving. Just take the day and do it right. This vid will help.
Thanks for the helpful tip brotha much appreciated 🙏🏾❤️
You would make a good teacher
Good video. Although I usually hit the end of the boots with die-electric grease to seal.
Is the Gen 1 is300 60k or 100k spark plug change interval?
I’m having problems with my throttle body cable. I have to much slack and I can’t seem to have a way for the cable not to be lose when I reinstall it and when I do I turn on the car and it just raises rpm’s high

@@LifeTac Ok thanks. So before I buy my coil packs/wiring I should buy my VCG and spark plugs and replace them first ?
@@LifeTac also do I recommend getting the valve cover gaskets for rock auto as well?
@@franklindavila9649 yes absolutely, don't replace the coils and wires just yet. Replace the VCG and plugs first
@@LifeTac ok thank you will do 👍

Did you ever figure that out? I'm having the same issue
So everything but the plug gap?
Got any camshaft replacement videos can't find any on Lexus is 300
Where you located? Im having a misfire on my 2001 lexus is300 not sure what is causing that
Awesome, you just helped my do mine. Thanks for the great video. Now, how to clear the check engine light and Off Track?
AMP LIFE TALK RADIO you need a scanner or pull the battery for 10-15 minutes
Do you have one on the Ignition Coil replacement? Wiring
AMP LIFE TALK RADIO it's the exact same process except you don't remove the spark plugs
Nice vid man. Pretty insightful. Would have been cool if you showed that the code was cleared but nonetheless really helpful. Thank you.
After replacing spark plug and wire got random multiple misfire cinlyder 1&5 any idea
Possible the ignition coil is bad. Easy way to tell is to replace the misfire coils to a cylinder that’s good and see if the misfire switches to the cylinder you replaced it to
It’s also not uncommon for a bad fuel injector to throw a misfire as well
Nice job! Can you help me? I have 99 GS300 with misfire on #3, I decided to change all such as wires, plugs, and coils ((3)). Problem acted up again: sakes, plow-by, when acerated....

Thanks in advance.
Probably not gonna get a reply but did you ever end up fixing this? My 98 gs is doing the same, i have no codes showing
What wires did you use? Great vid My Man!!
Nothing gets torqued to spec what a mechanic
What coils are those? Any cheaper ones you could recommend, or just better to get them at the local auto parts place?
Adam Francuzik if you can wait for shipping, go to rockauto.com best cheapest place to get oem spec replacement parts
Is there a sealant on that black throttle body spacer?!
I'm having trouble replacing my ECT location is really FU how can I replace it......
Nice vid brah,I was going about it from the wrong angle. You came thru my feed rite on time. ✊🏿
I got the ngk iridium spark plugs (3764) would they still work?
Hey I’m changing mines exactly like the ones you got did they work good ?
I think the spark plugs you used are for the gte not ge
Excellent work!
Homie; you should never use anything but hand tools when removing spark plugs. It’s not worth the time if you strip the spark plug. Thanks for the vid though. Slow is fast bro…roll slow. Aloha from the 808
Thanks great info
The rachet that you used rechargeable what kind?
Yes it's rechargable and it's called the milwualkee m12 fuel 12volt
What misfires is the car having ? I have an 02 and it’s giving me the check engine light, giving error code p1121 P1121 LEXUS - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Range/Performance Problem. Have you encountered this issue ???
I had this issue I changed the apps. I have an extra one for sale lmk
what is the code name for the trans of this car?
I did this too the T and now my CEL is telling me cyl 1 3 and 5 are misfiring.ive done everything To the T, meaning I’ve confirmed everything is where it should be. It wasn’t throwing these codes before. Any ideas?

RE7WERKS Thanks to you! For watching appreciate the support!
thanks!
holy shit so much to remove just to change the plugs?! no wonder these cars are expensive to own..
its not too bad once you start getting into it! Personally i think its a fun way to learn how to take things apart at the same time, gaining the gratification of DIY
Well done.Thx mate👍🍺
Did you gap them? I would like to know how much gap.
Arturo Salinas I don't think you need to do that if you have the right plugs. Always try to go with OEM from the manual. It doesn't give you more horsepower if you buy "better" plugs, unless you totally modify your engine, then you might need different ones.
Adam Francuzik I bought the same ones that you showing in the video thats why I ask about the gap. Im stock.
You don't mess with the gaps on NGK or Denso plugs. They are all checked to perfection during manufacture.
Always check gaps! What if the plug has been dropped?
You should really do a is300 waterpump replacement
Right slightly after 4:30, I get to pull the throttle unit out. Having unscrewed the 2 size 10 nuts.
what milwaukee tool is that? the multi tool??
It's the m18 series electric ratchet. Awesome tool
LifeTac .. I gotta get that! Awesome tool
Is there only 3 coil packs?
3 coil and 3 wires
Thanks for the video. But you really need to either remove the background music or turn the volume of it way down. It is really loud and drowns you out a bit making it hard to follow. Thanks.
Thanks for good video 👍
The background music is really unnecessary and annoying. Can't hear what you are saying properly
Christina Campbell yeah I know I apologize for that I learned that. In all my future videos I drastically reduced the music volume. I like the aspect that the music gives to the videos but I completely agree with you. The music only stays on for 2-3 minutes
Bump some corridos mejor guey 😂
Throw on the subtitles 👌🏾👌🏾

Changed my spark plugs on my GS300 an went to start it after finishing an car won’t stay on anyone have this issue??
Michael Trinajstic make sure all wires or coils are plugged in make sure intake hose is securely connected or maf sensor. Check all connections and scan vehicle if you have a scanner
Good video but music was so loud hard to understand you
dude what the hell made you decide to put music over it, i’m tryna learn not vibe
still thank you for posting also i’m sitting here doing it with a ratchet watching you with power tools jealous af😂😂😂
Sorry dude lol. This was in my rookie video making days
OMG i'm about to buy a cheap IS with a missfire. but now im scared this is the hardest sparckplug change i ever see. *o*
Once you start getting into it it's not that bad
Yea is not that bad. Besides that Engine is Concrete!!! You can put easily 250K miles on it with NO oil leaks!!! Trust me I have that same engine in my car!!!
it was necessary to clean the throttle valve!!!!!!!!
Dont use those spark plugs!
2jz uses dual electrode spark plugs (2 grounding prongs)
I used the spark plugs that are recommended from my auto parts store it's an OE recommendation.
Is this real?
This would’ve been an amazing video if the music wasn’t in it
Don't take plugs out with an electric ratchet dude
You can take them out no problem. It's the inexperience of people that have issues stripping the threads putting them back in ive been doing this for 10 years and I've never stripped a plug
There is nothing wrong with removing plugs whatsoever.
@@LifeTac yea but you can feel if something's wrong by doing it by hand. You can't with a gun
So many complaining, if u can’t figure out how to do this with a little background sound you should not be trying to do this
Slid right in like a baby???
you never slide babies into things?
I thought the same like wtf
si quitaras la musica fuera mejor porq distrae bastante
background music is veeery annoying
Trust me I know. It only last for a minute or 2
eliminate the music in the background 😐
Could have done without the music.
whaaaat
Could you make this without the shitty music drowning out the instructions?
Turn off the music
Could do without the pointless music. Sheesh
why the shitty music so loud :(
Lol sorry man, it was early in my video making career.
I know this is old but please help me I'm having misfiring issue the car was running okay but had leg and lack of power so I change the spark plugs they were the same ones but I'm still having misfiring issues I think it's because I didn't change one out please help me
