Spark Plugs and Wires

No, the coil packs connect directly to the 3 plugs on the passenger side; wires run from the coil packs to the other three on the driver side.

There's a write up on how to do it: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...eplacing-spark-plugs-wires-5vz-fe-3-4-v6.html

I've had very good luck with Kingsborne (for Land Rover, VW and BMW): Kingsborne.com about $70 delivered

 

Denso plugs and wires are my recommendations. NGK wires are also good.

 

I bought oem plugs which turned out they had the Denso version at my dealer. I bought the ngk wires on Amazon and they fit and look exactly like stock other then they are blue instead of grey.

 

Just to be clear, the '95-'04 tacos have the wires that need to be replaced, but the '05+ have no wires that need to be replaced correct?

 

While we're here....

I bought these,

They say TT for twin tip(right?) but the only have one tip. Are this good/good to use?

Thanks.

 

I seriously just go to autozone, advanced autoparts, or napa and buy the mid range spark plugs. This is essentially like buying a top grade double a battery vs. cheap batteries at a dollar store. They do the exact same thing, one will just last longer.

Also, if you are replacing wires, remember exactly which cylinders your pulling these from. Write it down on piece of masking tape and attach to coil packs if you have too. It's too easy to mix these up and then get a lot of misfires going on, hearing a strange popping noise driving down the road for about minutes as you wonder, "Did I....are those the.....no way...I totally put them in the right.....but then again...oh shit."

 

if you have a 6 cylinder make sure their dual electrode spark plugs, otherwise your check engine will come on because your catalytic converter will mis fire
