Please note that I am not a professional mechanic, nor am I saying that you have to do exactly what I say in this video. Perform these repairs at your own risk! Safety first ;) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Cheers man :) Really glad you showed that manual at the end too I have the same 95'. Time to go and give it a go!
I am a total noob and your videos are helping me get started working on the 7AFE in my 1994 Celica.
Awesome!
mann, we all start somewhere, thats why we have these guys to thank!!!
Love the background music. Makes the video enjoyable watching through.
Thanks!
Hey bro I also have a 93 Corolla wagon, I am so glad I found your channel your videos are great help when I work on my car, keep up the great work man! greetings from Canada :)
Hey, thanks! I'm glad the videos are helpful, I'll try to keep them coming!
Auto Fix Thanks man! Best of luck.
Nice job, keep up the good work
Thanks!
I feel like I can do this,thank you sir
Hey man I just found your channel and love your video content :) I see that eighth gen Corolla in the background. I have had my 2000 Corolla for over 5 years. After 225k she still doesn't burn a drop of oil.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos!
That's actually a '99 (4th gen) Camry haha but they do look similar from some angles.
As for your Corolla, that's awesome! Lucky you, haha mine burns a good amount... but she still goes! 308k miles currently, never lets me down. Keep changing your oil every 4-5k miles and she'll stay healthy for a looooong time ;)
Oh and if you have an automatic don't forget the trans fluid. A lot of times those will start acting up as they get old if you neglect them.
Wow 308k good for you :) Yeah I keep up with matinence regularily for her. A lot of people hate on the 8th gens because of the 1ZZ FE oil burn issue. The pistons had a design flaw but I think its more from not changing the oil. I did do a Trans Fluid change although I didn't drop the pan. It does slip a bit and can take a second to go into drive. So next time I"ll make sure to also change the filter in the pan.
Lucas is great stuff. I use it in the Camry Wagon's (that you may have seen on my channel) automatic transmission with every fluid change. I don't always drop the pan on it but I drain and fill once a year (or every 15-20k miles)
Denso Iridiums are pretty nice too,,,,probably an over kill for my lil bugger but it's definitely not hurting it though.
Great job as usual, sir!!!
Keep it up!!!
Thanks! And no they're not overkill at all. Denso or NGK are the only two you should use in a Japanese engine :)
Iridium plugs will only make it last longer so you don't have to change them as often. The ones I use last me less than 30k miles.
@@AutoFixYT Good to know. Got a misfire today after 13.5K of miles of ownership; unsure when the previous owner last changed the spark plugs. Funny but my last road trip a week ago was my best mpg: 42.5!!
Perhaps it was running too lean 🙂 and finally gave out today. Sitting on new Densos for at least a year (installing tomorrow 👍)
@@apj341 wow that's awesome! 42MPG achievable but not easy. I got mine up to exactly 42 one time but never again after that. The closest I ever got to that was 40. I usuallu average 35 in the summer and 32 in the winter. Anyway, yeah sounds like it's time for new plus!
My car was loosing power, high RPMS but no acceleration. Would not go over 30 mph. Fuel economy was terrible.
Alternators kept burning out (replaced 3 in less than 6 months. Not remanufactured. brand new) in turn the battery was being drained.
The OD light would flash on occasion & car would start to sputter & hesitate. Mechanics could not figure out the issue.
After spending over $1500 on diagnosing and fixing what they thought were the issues, the car was still not fixed.
It's a 1994 corolla and it's been in the family for 30 years so I did not want to give up on it.
I'm a single woman with a teen son & a 4 year old son, so I felt helpless that mechanics couldn't figure out the problem & were draining my pockets.
Finally two different mechanics told me the transmission was going out & the repair would be about $2K.
I was willing to pay whatever just to get it fixed since it has sentimental value but in the meantime, I went and bought a new car since my 4 year old and I could not continue to drive around in a car that was stalling out on us.
I continued to search and came accross this vide. I went to autozone, purchased the spark plugs you suggested and between my son and I we changed the spark plugs by following your video.
To my disbelief, I drove the car to see if it helped and since the shaking seemed to subside, I got on a mostly empty highway (since I live in the desert) and hit the gas to 90 (I was driving alone without the kids before anyone says anything) The car is no longer shaking and ran like a champ.
I cannot believe that this entire time, the spark plugs needed to be replaced and none of the mechanic shops I took it to bothered to even check them.
I love this little car. Hopefully that will fix the fuel economy issue too.
Wow that's great to hear! Sorry that it took so much time, money, and effort to get to this point. I hope this fixed the car for you! But this is a reminder to ALWAYS start with basics. Even when you think it could be more complicated. Keep it simple!
Muchas gracias por el video, una consulta que numeración tienen esas bujías NGK
Great video.My Corolla has 350000 miles on it!!
Wow awesome! Mine is at 342k right now
I love these videos, keep making more awesome content. It's really helping me with my 95 Corolla DX.
xxWebSlingerxx Thanks for the feedback, glad it's helping! I'm editing a video right now and have a few others lined up, so stay tuned!
Yes me also. You given me the confidence to work on my 95 dx wagon I've had for 10 yrs, 204k mileage. Thanks a lot
Wow 10 years, that's awesome! 204k miles is still young so try to keep it going, I'm glad my videos are able to help you out!
I'm at 340k miles and I think things are starting to fail..
Oh no! That's what I'm at right now. What's failing?
My wagon just suddenly started running rough with the check engine light flashing. Replaced the spark plugs and found that spark plug #1 (nearest timing belt) had lots of oil on it. So that led me to a valve cover gasket kit job. But car still idling rough and gas smell. Led me to getting an OBD2 reader for my 1996 Corolla wagon. Ultimately it was a bad spark plug wire so replaced all four.
Since you have OBD2 that is a great place to start. Yeah search on Amazon and shop around. There are many decent ones nowadays
@@AutoFixYT Thanks. Really appreciate your videos. 👏🙂
@@apj341 thanks!
Nicely done!
LilyStar The Wolf Thank you!
Great Video!! Thank you
Thanks!
Gracias! Nice and understand able video
Thank you!
thanks men, am gonna try it on m7 97 corolla dx
Awesome! Good luck!
Did this help with miss fire mine will do the same thing at low rpm and its also been starting strange takes alot of tries .
Yes helped right away, fixed the problem completely! Gap the plugs correctly and replace the spark plug wires too if you have the money. You should be all set!
Dude, thanks you
You're welcome
Yeah my 95 Corolla Is having trouble starting so I’m hoping that this will fix the issue
Dylan Kenny I'm assuming you've eliminated battery and starter being an issue, but if this doesn't, then try changing your air intake filter. If not then maybe injectors are clogged. Good luck!
Auto Fix yeah I just got a new battery and alternator
Ok then as long as it's the right battery, it can't be related to that. So it's either not getting enough fuel, enough air, or enough spark
I had a 96 Corolla that, after 10 years of driving, the sparkplug popped out and broke into 3 pieces as I was driving down the road. Looking at how easy it is to pop those out, I'm glad I replaced it with a newer Toyota. On the 09 Camry, they're bolted down.
Spark plug blow-out isn't a common thing on those engines. Did you never replace the spark plugs for 10 years? They should be replaced every 30k miles on those engines. I replace mine every 20k-25k miles.
Also, on the coil-on-plug setup, just because the coil is bolted down doesn't mean the spark plug is safe. It it does happen to back out or rip the threads and pop out, the whole cylinder pressure is relying on that small 10mm bolt and the plastic ignition coil to contain everything. In which case most likely it will damage stuff that's in the way.
Just something to think about.
Other than that, make sure you refer to your owner's manual for all maintenance intervals.
Hope this helps!
@@AutoFixYT Well, it was my first car and we got it because it only cost us $3000. As such, if the car randomly died, it wouldn't cost us too much to sell it off as junk. So, not too much attention was put into making sure it stayed working.
As for the 09 Camry, when I discovered that it had an ODB2 interface, I got a scanner so that I would be able to read error codes. So, if I ever start having problems with the spark plugs, I just need to keep an eye out for codes P0301-P0308.
$3k is not cheap for a Corolla and to let it go without any maintenance is in my opinion a waste. Regardless, being a 96 your old Corolla also had OBD2. All cars starting in 96 have OBD2 here in North America.
As for the new Camry, don't wait until the CEL comes on. The point of maintenance is to avoid issues. Replace components before they fail. Otherwise it could cause more damage, such as the spark plug blow out you experienced. That would have ripped the threads out of the head so now you're looking at an intensive repair with high risks. Same goes for simple things like drive belts, fluid changes, and all that. If a drive belt fails it will likely damage pulleys and other components and can even rip out wires on its way off. Oil changes will help extend the internal wear. Keep in mind these newer Toyota engines are much more sensitive to oil change intervals than the old ones. They have thinner oil, VVT, and timing chains. All of which rely on fresh oil to operate correctly.
can i use Iridium plugs for my corolla 1998 xe saloon 5A- FE engine?
As long as they are gapped correctly, yes you can. But the car doesn't necessarily need them. It will run fine on regular plugs. But the iridium ones will last you longer.
thank you dear friend......
Any chance you know the plug gap on the 16 valve engine?
This is the 16v engine. I say the gap in the video, i believe it's 0.032"
Can 2e engine use the same spark plugs or is there any better ones for it ?
I am not familiar with the 2E engines, sorry.
Hi pal any improvement in fuel economy with the G-power vs the old densos?
Yes! Especially after I replaced the spark plug wires too. The wires made more of a difference. But the old plugs were so worn it was misfiring haha so yes definitely an improvement! Change them every 25k-30k miles max though. I let mine go 35k miles (changed them about two months ago again) and it was running rough again
@@AutoFixYT maybe you take them out and clean them gently with carb clean around 20k so they can last longer
Can we use this ngk same plug on 4age 20v blacktop
You might be able to but pay attention to the gap and the heat range. If these happen to match the heat range of the 4A-GE, they will most likely need to gapped differently. If these are too cold or too hot you'll need completely different plugs, in which case you might not even need to re-gap them because they'll be made to fit that engine.
Hope this helps
My 97 corolla I just picked up has a rough idle but after 1500 rpm drives like new, any recommendations?
That could be many things. It would need a more in depth diagnosis
Vacuum pipe
Is the torque wrench really needed? Can’t I just tighten it enough with the regular wrench?
Yes you can make them snug with a ratchet, I just provided the torque wrench for more precise information. Bottom them out by hand, and then snug with with the ratchet until the washer around the threads bottoms out. You don't need a lot of pressure on them. Too much pressure and you rush stripping the threads.
My spark plugs won't come out with a 5/8 socket, does the socket need to be magnetic or...?
Yes, they make special spark plug sockets that are either magnetic or have a rubber ring on them that squeezes on the spark plug to hold it. You can use a regular 5/8" or 16mm socket, and then use a magnet to fish the plug out.
@@AutoFixYT thank you soo much!
At 4:10, your have a spark plug in hand and just turning it, and your able to tell what seems like a lot of different things just by looking at the spark plug..maybe you could do another video where you go more in-depth into how you know those things..or if you already have a video or if you can suggest a website that explains those kinds of things..
Well I have to admit that although I know the basics of reading spark plugs, I am by no means an expert at it. So I think me making a video would result in incomplete information. However, you can just Google "reading spark plugs" or "how to read a spark plug" and there are countless articles and websites that help you understand what you see when you pull out a used plug. When I was learning about this, I read many websites and then compiled my own information in my head, out of which I remembered the basics but forgot the details. So browse around, look at pictures, and you'll see that there is actually a lot that goes in to how a spark plug looks.
Hope this helps!
@@AutoFixYT the spark plug wire has been pulled out of the metal clip inside one of the boots..so I guess that wire might be toast!? Does that mean I have to buy a whole new set of SP wires? that might be a good reason I've had major stutters and misfires when accelerating..
Yes that wire is junk now. And yes you should buy a whole new set. I don't think anyone even sells spark plug wires individually. I recommend NGK wires. It's best to replace the wires every one to two spark plug changes to keep fresh. You can go longer but the longer you wait the more internal resistance they build up from wear and tear, thus the weaker the spark you're gonna get. Look them up on rockauto and once you find them there, take the part number and search it on Amazon. If you have Amazon prime they'll most likely be there for the same price.
@@AutoFixYT I just replaced the spark plug wires.. I ended up breaking the clips off two of them to remove them.. they're not the easiest to get off..my spark plugs were toast..my car seems to start easier now..thx for creating these videos..
@@bigchainring1977 Awesome! It should run better too at higher RPMs
Indicate what torque should be placed? in foot-pounds or newton meters?
I'm pretty sure it's 13 ft lbs
@@AutoFixYT thanks for answering, i have another question, the spark plug socket is 5/8??
Yes it is. 5/8" or 16mm
hello..where can i buy that tools.spark plug gapper.how much.tq
Hi, not sure where you are located but any auto parts store should have them. I personally have it from Walmart. You can also find them on Amazon.com.
Good luck!
@@AutoFixYT thank you from malaysia..
You're welcome! Hopefully you are able to find them for a low price!
That is Technaly the incorrect way to set a Gap, use a Wire type Gauge. It's usually round with different size U shaped wires sticking out, and 2 T ends with different size Notches, cut in.. In any engine with aluminum heads It's important to Torque the Plugs{or anything} to the recommended spec. (Or good and Snug, not overly Tight)
I know the gauge you're talking about. I don't like those because they only have a few measurements and skip some important ones.
As for torque spec, yes proper tightening is important.
👍👍
12 foot pounds torgue wrench setting?
Yes 12 ft lbs
@@AutoFixYT now i have to learn how to set the blooming wrench , never owned one before , first time for everything here .thank you for all the advice.
👍👍👍👍👍
Irridum spark plug can be install in this engine
They can but it's not worth it. The engine was never designed for them.
What plug model number?
NGK 7090, I linked them in the description as well
How much torque you put it on?
Like I said in the video, 12 to 13 ft-lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench, then bottom them out BY HAND (no ratchet) then make them snug to crush the new washer (if it's a new spark plug). That should take about 1/4 - 1/3 of a turn.
@@AutoFixYT thanks man. 👍
Bro, what's your 4afe's fuel consumption in km/l? Or is it A 7afe?
It's a 7A-FE. In the summer I get get about 35-38 MPG, and in the winter 32-34 MPG. You do the conversion to KM/L
@@AutoFixYT so impressive for an oldy
toyota corolla still working after 2 years?
Yes! All is well, I'm at 330 700 miles right now :)
@@AutoFixYT wow 330,700 miles!. I cannot believe that!. bill still small cost to repaired after 330k miles?
Well so far I spent $3000+ on repairs in parts alone (including maintenance). At this point there isn't too much more to do except for a lot of body work because it has really bad rust spots. So repair bills are very small because I already fixed everything haha. But mechanically it's perfect except for burning oil but what old Toyota doesn't... haha
Please tell me the tools needed, please :((
As I said in the video, it's all in the description
