my 2000 Corolla needed help at 275K miles with rough idle and poor acceleration. The real fix was to replace the intake manifold gasket. I got new coils, injectors and plugs installed ... but the real problem was the air leak at the gasket. Tedious and not for most guys, but simple to do and a 'mobile mechanic' can put in your part much cheaper than a garage... If the problem 'returns' ... it is a new problem. Do NOT assume you know what it is. Use a DTC code to indicate what the ECM detected as a 'possible'. Months after a new intake manifold gasket and new plugs, I got the hesitation and poor performance on inclines. The DTC was for a possible miss on cylinder 1, so I swapped the coil on 1 nd 2 and the 'problem' went to #2. A new coil immediately resolved the problem. Install it when the engine is cooled off and use a Q-tip to put a very light swipe of dielectric grease just inside the end of the coil and a light coat on the white ceramic of the plug. See 'dielectric grease use'.
Glad you got it fixed. Thanks for the feedback on something else to look for. It can help others.
Aside from the compressed air this video was very relaxing to watch/hear. It was informative as well.
Thank you
Loved the birds, hated the mower.
Hey man I jus want to SAY ... u are GOD SENT FOR ME, my corolla is FIXED !!!!! Thank u so much and ur lil TIP on the maf... DONT 4 get these lil 2 WIRES THAT U CAN BARELY SEE ..... I cleaned it once and never even seen those lil demons!!!!! Haha!! I can’t ty enough!!!!!! UR THE MAN BRO!!!
going to try changing the spark plugs on my old 2000 Toyota Corolla using these instructions. Wish me lots of luck as this is my first time doing this job.
Good luck!
disabled due to major lower lumbar reconstruction and just wondered if I have to buy spark plug wires?
@@jacob1957 I wouldn't unless you are suspect. The factory OEM wires are very good and should last a very long time. If you do replace it I only recommended OEM.
I really want to do the work myself but the garage here will charge me $148.00 to install the plugs etc., for me. Is that a good price? Your work is so amazing watching your video's. Very impressed.
Just be careful you don’t crack off a spark plug in the engine then your looking at more money to drill it out and if your doing it your self use wd 40 to losing the plugs other wise you you brake off pieces of metal that will get inside your engine and that my friend will have to be a motor tar down
Nice Video, clear & concise.
A few additional recommendations though - change the PCV valve and check the condition of the engine air filter as well.
Otherwise, Nice video. Thank you
( forwarding to a friend out of state as a good reference prior to doing his 2001 corolla.)
Thank you brother for the info. Helped me save money and I know that it's done correct, cause I done it.
Same problem i got a 2001 corolla sucky engines oil burners ,,good video thoug
Don't use anti seize on these plugs. NGK says if a thread lubricant is coated on the thread, tightening to the recommended torque is tightening too much; this has been linked to seal leakage.
agree... the makers and Toyota are the engineers... not a 'suggestion'
Yup, but if you are take the plugs out for inspection or whatever, that coating has been removed so anti-sieze will need to be applied on reinstallation
@@Osobear37 uh ... What ?
" Hey look, my neighbor is trying to film something. Time to mow the lawn!"
I hate that kind of crap but you know it's true.
@@Fucknuts4u put the green light on them boxer
Maybe it’s the neighbors Gardner that can’t afford to wait around
Some very good tips like turning the plug COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until it clicks. And BY HAND. You DO NOT want to cross those threads !!
My spare car is a 1999 Corolla. It doesn't have the plastic engine cover , coil packs and MAF sensor , it has the traditional spark plug wires. 1999 was also the last year with no cabin filter , 2000 was the first year with a cabin filter.
I have a 2000 and there is no cabin filter
That was very informative and thorough. Thanks a lot.
Awesome informations doing tune ups on Toyota. Thank u for sharing.
What if you don't have a MAF sensor and you install the OEM plugs and there's still a misfire w/ac on @low RPM I have a 1999 toyota corolla 1.8 liter & It does not have a MAF sensor! Any advice would be helpful! Thanks
I got a 99 toyota corolla, I have some what of the same issue, I changed spark plugs ignition packs, the Weird thing it Hesitates sometimes taking off, left hand turns and going up hill. But not all the time.
Thank sir for the very valuable information
Very nice and thorough video thx(Subscribed
can u recommend a scan tools for beginners like me. i am driving a 2006 corolla. thank you.
Richard Yap I have a Innova 3160. Any of the 3100 series are okay for the DIY person. Great tool to have for today's vehicles.
Blue driver is a good diy obd2 scan tool. Gets updated alot and uses layman’s terms for the less mechanically inclined.
@@gabrielovante like Scotty Kilmer
Many thanks for your input. Very good video.
i like your video a lot ..anyway,what causes the misfires? and how much should i pay my backyard mechanic to have my toyota corolla 2 tune up?
Check pcv valve and hose for valve sticking and hose leaks un plug hose and youll see how rough it funa that means you might have a leak
i’m 19 yrs old, any tips for someone on how do to learn more about fixing cars and building them? i don’t know much at all but i’m starting to have a real passion for cars
700 rpm at 1.92 grams per second final from maf, vs from 2.4 grams per second at 700 rpm. Plugs were fine. Dirty maf. Didn't see any oil consumption on that one plug you showed. You end by saying keeping it simple. Oh well, at least you figured it out. And no that engine does t need rebuilt.
I read 5.29g/sec at 1000-1200rpm.before work done. It should never be under 1.8g/s as rule of thumb your MAF value should never be lower than the displacement of the engime. 1.8L
Hi, do you know what could be causing a rough idle on a 2000 Corolla? Also hesitates upon acceleration? Is this the spark plugs?
If you got a p0420 code check your catalytic converter
Hey wondering if you found the problem,(I know it was 2 years ago lol).I'm having the same issues with my 2002. I've had in 3 shops and they changed everything from plugs to catalytic converter&they're out of ideas.
The issue that was causing that on my '98 Camry was a bad fuel injector
@@MJR_heyfunny how can I fix that?
I am a bit confused by this video. I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla, NGK website calls out NGK 3967 (OEM), but if you want IRIDIUM the p/n is NGK 5464 not 4996..
I have a 2005 corolla 1.8 automatic. it will catch gear once but just stall nd not reverse either. any suggestions on what that may be?
Still didn't fix the problem. Maybe I should clean the tps sensor next and change coil packs,?
Thanks this what I may have to do great video 😁
Chasing hello sir I have a 1993 toyota supra I've been having a rpm surge while at idle then when I drive car it runs very rough donst go over 2000rpm regardless of the gear i have replaced fuel pump.fuel filter sparkplugs and wires cleaned the throttle replaced the iac with another one and it still runs rough I notice I have a small head gasket leak could that be my main problem
My 2001 started shaking alot the other day when i started it up ny friend says the coil pack doesnt have enough electricity
what causes a rough idle in park?
David - It's like breathing. Air intake with MAF or air filter. Or plugs. Not in neutral ?
Is the 2001 Chevy Prizm Lsi the same with different electronics?
Michael Wizouski yes it is. I happen to own a 2000 corolla and a 2001 Prizm lsi.
The cars are mechanically identical. Some small differences in taillights, etc. interior a little different. Some electronics as well, but 99.99% same car
I cant figure out what the little button at the front of the gearshift is for, can you tell me ?
Turns over drive on or off. When off it won't shift to fourth gear.
What do you suggest anyone with a 8th generation Corolla should do to prevent oil burning issues? Regular oil change
10w-40 oil. Also use Lucas oil stabilizer. As for me, I rectified the problem with a overhaul rebuild.
@@DomWars9999 .
Excuse me, do you happen to know where is the Throttle position sensor located in this Corolla?
Is the oil burning/piston ring issue been resolved in later corollas, say 2005 1zz engine? Great video by the way. will be doing plugs in sis in law's pretty soon
No, the issue you are talking about is owner, lack of maintenance.
@@jimdavidson5208 I thought it was design flaw with piston oil holes being too small.
@@stevejette2329 it is, that’s what Toyota said. Some people just like to put everyone down because they are the “only” person who can apparently take care of a car haha.
jim davidson It is actually a designflaw hence why he updated part number for pistons.
I have a question. I have the same engine, with the same type of intake manifold. I see a lot of TH-cam videos and 99% of all the videos have Toyota corollas from 98-2002 with plastic intake manifolds. But the Corolla in this Video has a metal type intake manifold. Did they come with those metal type intake manifold from factory or are they aftermarket ?
I have the same car but my motor has regular spark plug cables without the coils and while I drive it. It kind of stumbles and looses power and on acceleration it gets power slowly form low to high power and when that happens the engine light starts blinking and as soon I stop the car the engine light goes off
When blinking it is more critical issue. Solid light is emissions related. Blinking is more likely to be a misfire detected.
@@chasiu75 thanks for replying and for your help like I say my motor doesn’t have the coil in each spark plug I guess is an older style engine. So you think it might be a spark plug? And I can’t see the maf sensor in the filter box like that one
@@martingonsalez6635 You will need an OBDII reader. It will help you narrow down to which cylinder is having the misfire. Then you can check the spark plug and the cable.
@@chasiu75 thanks I will do that I appreciate your help
Toyota must juggle their fueling configurations. My Corolla is a 1999, made in Canada. Same engine (judging by the very distinctive intake manifold). Has a coil block instead of separate plug coils.
Has intermittent hesitation and sometimes wont do more than idle, yet most of the time runs perfectly. There is no MAF, instead there is a MAP sensor on the throttle body (manifold absolute pressure.. basically a barometer transducer). I replaced this (most expensive little bit of plastic I have ever bought) and that has made no difference. No DTC codes. I am stymied.
Same for my made in Canada 1999. Replaced the MAP (cost about $180, weighs less than a quarter, all plastic about an inch long). No change.
Did you ever fix it?
I have 2001 toyota corolla. It has hesitation problem like after a stop it just doesnt respond for a second. It happened sometime. Changed oxygen sensor, several tech check but they couldnt figure out the problem. Any suggestion?
Try the suggestions in the video.
Same problem as mine with exact car!
Also check your valve cover gasket. If it is old, cracks can form and there are seals around the spark plugs with that valve cover gasket. So you might change spark plugs frequently but root cause could also be valve cover gasket which allows oil to leak into the spark plugs and burning them out.
@@sheetonyu yes; it is easy to change and a good way is a mobile mechanic.... why try to do a simple and dirty and risky job yourself?
Check the fuel injectors
Thank u sir
Can bad old spark plugs cause a lean code
battery terminals need love
what is the best spark plug for toyota corolla gli 1997?
Can't find a MAS on my 1999 corolla anywhere.
Dan smith You have a MAP sensor, not a MAF.
Any idea where the cabin filter is located on a 2002 Toyota Corolla? looked behind the glove compartment but can't find it.
Nikki Hernandez Lay on the floor and look up. Pull the four clips out and pull the cover off. Slide the filter down.
On the passenger side?
Yes, passenger side.
Will do..Thank you chasiy75.
I was told the 2002 Corolla had no cabin filter. Did you ever find this? I'm going to look this evening.
Long story short I bought a 2002 yota from a friend and the starter is messed up so I ordered a new one comes next Friday but I need to move it from one location to other location Any thing you recommend me doing to getting it to start this 1 time?? I know sounds silly just thought I would ask you
Sometimes if you hit the starter with a hammer like tap it a couple times while somebody tries to turn the key that will get it 2 start
Very good video sir.I have a 2002 Chevy prizm which is a Corolla any idea were the fuel filter is.someone told me it is built combined with the fuel pump. can I replace the fuel filter separately or it comes all on unit together. Thanks in advance.
get a mobile mechanic who knows what to do.... RWA fuel is what is n the tank with the fuel pump and filter. ABNY spark for any reason can ignite it and you will burn a horrible burn. Don't risk it on a DIY 'maybe' job. Hire a pro.
@@DougHinVA thank you for the reply
I have a 2001 corolla i just picked up with only 52K miles on it and it is consuming 1 quart of oil every 300 miles. I changed the spark plugs, cleaned MAF sensor and changed PCV. hoping this solves my issue but any other suggestions? Have you seen this before with such low mileage?
Common issue with the piston design problem.
@careca Hey! I have that problem on my 98 1zzfe. I put 5 quarts in like every week. What's my cheapest option here? Besides the oil problem the whole car is amazing, brand new ac compressor/system. What's my cheapest most cost effective route? I'm open to doing it myself but I feel this is a littler far beyond my capabilities.
Thank you
I have a 2001 with the po420 code catalys,,out because of the oil consumption,,,i'm gonna burn it !
My 1999 Toyota Corolla LE doesn't have a cover where can I get one?
Lawrence - Junkyard. Ebay
I have a 1999 Corolla as well. 1998 and 1999 Corollas didn't come with a cover. It wasn't until 2000 that Toyota put a engine cover on the engine. 2000 was also the first year with a cabin filter , coil packs instead of spark plug wires and MAF sensor.
What the heck kind of air nozzle are you using?!
I thought the idle was supposed to drop with the AC on?
The idle increases to compensate for the additional load. If it didn't increase the idle would drop though.
chasiu75 ,
Shouldn't they be Denso original equipment?
No. NGK. I used platinum in my 99 and 2000 1.8. No issues but always NGK.
I have a 1999 Corolla LE with the 1ZZ-FE engine without VVT-I. I've found it's extremely difficult to select parts for it because every seller, including Amazon, assumes that all 1999 Corollas have the VVT-I engine. So, I buy a new MAF sensor and not only is it the wrong one but it's in a different place on the engine. I'm still not sure where it is. I order an air cleaner for a '99 Corolla and it doesn't fit mine. MIne doesn't have one coil per plug, it has plug wires to two dual spark coils located at the end of the head.
Even here on TH-cam, if I search for 1999 Corolla, every video shows the VVT-I engine. Haha.
Anyway, how do I specify this car/engine so I get the right parts? As far as I can tell, there's no way to specify it on Amazon.
Don’t buy off Amazon or eBay etc cause more likely then not you’ll get cheap garbage counterfeits.
@@dw4940 The same problem happens at AutoZone. The solution is to specify 1998 when buying engine parts. 😆
I know it is 7 years old But that is not how a 1998 Or 99 Toyota Corolla Is set up at least not here in Canada
Please what software is this?
JOHNWHO lol did you even watch the video
oye pana todo bien el vídeo pero traduce por fabor a español en ecuador no hay mucho de este tipo de autos desde el año 98 hacia arriba no hay nada
What's the name of your pc usb car analyzer
Tools needed?
Help, anyone. 1997 Corolla run & dies randomly on the road at lights, stop & not hitting the gas.
What is the likely failure (s)?
Has no Check Engine.
Has no codes.
Fuel Filter brand new
Fuel Pump brand new
Throttle cleaned & three hoses replaced
Complete Timing Belt Kit, Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Inlets, Valve Cover Gasket replaced 8 months ago
Again, still not safe for a senior (pastor)driving. Any suggestions?
angelisone IAC Valve, possibly MAP sensor.
@@AirplaneFreak , wish it was the IAC Valve.
Idle Air Control Valve removed & cleaned.
3 Hoses connected to IAC Valve were replaced.
MAP Sensor cleaned.
Also, exchanged with known good parts from another car (saved parts long ago).
No luck.
@@angelisone You said 1997, right? Have you tried the distributor?
@@AirplaneFreak A 1997 Toyota Corolla CE.
Swapped 4 spark plug cables (4 brand new spark plugs) replaced during the complete timing belt kit replacement, 8 months ago.
Swapped distributor & rotor from a know good car. Just as a test. Then took all out to be placed back to the donor car.
Still car run in park no problem.
Battery tested = 12.4VDC
Battery with engine on = 12.8+VDC (reading on donor, 96, car was about the same). No donor now.
Just dies randomly once on the road, either in 5 or 45 minutes.
@@angelisone Then here is where it gets fun. Perhaps there is a problem with the wiring or the ECM. Or maybe you got a bad alternator. Even if the alternator looks and sounds good, it could still be going bad. Or if it was reman, it wasn't remaned right. I'd go with the dealer's Nippon Denso one and make sure it is one that is reman recently since I got a reman from the dealer for my 1998 which initially made a horrendous noise and then whined like crazy but now it's gone since I got it replaced under warranty from the dealer with a unit reman in Japan.
That positive battery terminal is looking rough.
Come for a spark plugs
i yanked that stupid plastic off the top of my engine when my socket was too fat to fit
Ugh ..
My Toyota is choking,I just dumped 900$ into it now here watching videos
As if I even know what spark plugs are
😭😭
Can u fix my car 2001
hi
Really..way to much
If only u lived where I do so I could fix my piece of shit Toyota
bob bobby What is wrong with it?
chasiu75 unfortunately this morning when I started it up it started fine however when I came to a stop light it simply shut off when I pressed the break.
Try the basic first, spark plugs, MAF cleaning an run some ethanol-free fuel.
you pressed "break", so it took a break...lol
No instruction manuals? Downvote. RTFM!!
My 2009 corolla 1.8 l idles up and down , I took off and cleaned the throttle body and cleaned the mass air flow sensor . but it still revs up and down . any idea what else to check ? Also where is the idle adjustment located its not on the throttle body ? Thanks
Rick D Try to run a DBW calibration.
on the computer
the dealer put the car on the computer but it was normal yet still ran badly
thanks for replying so soon
