Spark plug change

Replaced the spark plugs in my 2019 Tacoma, which took just over an hour or so. Not too bad, just have to work around some things on the driver side. The plugs are a bit dirtier than I expected (6 years but only 40k miles).

 

60K interval on those, correct? What inspired you to do it sooner?

 

Good job.

 

Might as well do your pcv valve as well. Change mine every 30k

 

I read somewhere 60k or every 72 months. I believe it was actually from Toyota.

 

Pics of center electrodes still possible?

 

Going to tackle mine tomorrow. Had a good friend shop owner at Watson’s Auto do an upper induction throttle body BG Service on it last week see if it help smooth idle and inprove on MPG …….

 

Took a picture of two at random

 

That’s on the agenda whenever I get around to ordering it.

 

Those plugs look perfect. Good colour, no wear. I changed mine at 96,000kms and they looked the same. I should look at my PVC.

 

Where is the pct valve. In One of the valve covers or on the throttle body?

 

RandyD, the PCV is on the back of the driver's side valve cover on a v6. I believe you have to remove a "foam" noise suppressor to get to it.
