Great job! I have a few questions though. Wouldn't be good to clean the throttle body and intake while it was out? Also the cracked tube could be easily repaired with self sealing silicone tape like the Rescue product. I think that product would be ideal here as there is no pressure and no fluids in the tube.

You know you can get to the back plugs without taking the manifold off...use a double flex ratchet and an extension

Did u get the coil

connectors from the dealers?

[APDTY]

@lexusfan100 The 2000 es300 Is very similar, if not identical procedure.

i have a es 95 and i need to get this work done. How much did you charge whats a good price?

[APDTY]

@Arty808 The book time on this job calls for almost 2 hours of labor, so the price depends on your local labor rates, (here it is about $90 per hour on average). Plus the cost of the parts.

how much did you charge this customer?

Nice video, but one minor error:

That car is NOT a 95, it's a 94 model! How do I know? Because the 1995-96 versions only have *three* ignition coils (those two years got wasted spark), and three regular spark plug wires. Only the front bank of cylinders has coils in 1995-96 (the even-numbered cyls 2/4/6). The coil from #2 connects to #5, 4 connects to 1, and 6 connects to 3

Cylinders

135

246

(front)

[bottomlayer]

@bottomlayer However, the coils themselves are the same, except there are only three. Meaning, the part number is the same as you said in the video description

[jdubb408]

ive never had to remove the intake or throttle body to change the plugs in the back

[jrodmanyo]

@gilgonzalez1982 Would you mind giving a few more details on why you feel it's bad presentation? We like to improve our videos based on viewer's comments. Thanks!

@APDTY

hey, bud, the video is very well presented. I like it a lot. After watching this video I am quite confident of doing it on my ES. Thanks so much. The other fellow said " a bad presentation" I don't think there will be followers. The quality of this video and the information presented is just perfect. Please keep up with the good work.

[APDTY]

@millikenway Thanks! :)

[s0tseri]

where can i buy the connector? i looked everywhere but no one sells them.. please let me know

[APDTY]

@s0tseri Unfortunately you have to get them from a toyota/lexus dealer.

[mrjost55]

@APDTY do you know the part number?

[APDTY]

@mrjost55 Sorry but I did not write down the part number so I do not know what it was.

[mrjost55]

@APDTY I found it! 90980-11246

[APDTY]

@mrjost55 Awesome, thanks! I'll add that to our video notes.

[925shah]

GREAT VIDEO !!!

[cacasti24]

Very good explanation and practice, now I can do it to my car



[joe27077]

How do you know when a Ignition Coil is bad?

[APDTY]

@joe27077 You can test an ignition coil by removing it and doing an Ohms-test, your service manual should tell you what the resistance should be across the coil terminals, using a multimeter you can measure the ohms according to the service manual and see if it is in range of the specifications.
