Okay guys im thinking of replacing my spark plugs due to they have run their ks up and by my count on the odo they need to be replaced any ways does any body know how you remove the old plugs and install the new one
reaLLY simple 1st pull off spark plug boot 2nd put socket on spark plug 3rd turn hard and twist them off 4 gap new plugs 5 install in reverse sequence.
yeah pop off that little cover, and hand thread the plugs as much as you can first (use the socket and extension but no rachet) then add the rachet and tighten them up.
Dont forget to Twist the spark plug wire before pulling them off the plug- It breaks the seal it has formed .
Wow, I am fired... When I do spark plugs, I was never told to gap them... Maybe that's why my engine runs like shit... lol Guess I need to pull the old ones out, and get some new ones. Luckily I have yet to change my spark plugs, or this would have been an issue. lol What is the gap setting for the 3s-fe engine?
gap yeah you have to gap the plug the gap for our cars is 1.1 mm but depending on your engine thats a 3s-ge gap fe and gte are probably different
damn i never gap mine. all the ones i bought say pre-gapped. wonder if toyota gaps them. i doubt it. shoot i should check my plugs now to see of they are gapped correctly. that might be my weird idle problem eh?
I'm thinking the same thing... I really never knew about this... I usually buy bosch platinum series, depending on the car... So this is new to me!
If you buy the correct plug for the Celica it should be gapped, I belive its something like .044 for the gts and .040 for the GT.
I just visually look at all the plugs...and if the gap looks grossly out of whack then I will gap them but if they all look the same and the gap looks fine then it goes in
oh ok. yeah i inspect before i plug them in but i dont think i have ever gapped plugs...except for the one that shot back out of the well in my corolla. but i just threw it back in. no biggy!
