Thank you very much for the video! Very helpful - information is good and clear and camera work is done well. One thing that would be awesome would be to provide the part numbers, quantity and torque specs. Small detail but makes videos that much more helpful and really adds value. Another helpful thing I find in videos like these is showing the struggle of getting a part out or a nut/bolt loosened. Helps to see what ultimately worked for you and highlight at least one option for a potential challenge. Mistakes or confusion is very relatable to don't feel like it needs to be excluded.
Absolutely perfect video. It was easy to follow - I changed all the injectors, coil packs and plugs. Car runs perfect now! I dont know what the issue was, but I figured I might as well change all of it to be safe.
I'm in a process of doing that on my 2004 Tacoma, this is one of the most complete video I'd found about this . You did Amazing job. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the details video. Gives me some confidence to do it this weeknd! Good to know that the injectors come with O-rings so i dont have to order them!
This is very entertaining. Can't wait to do this project on my Taco. There's a junkyard near me with a 3rd gen 4runner with a 3.4 in it. I hope the fuel injectors are still in it, that way I can send that set to be cleaned and remanufactured.
Awesome Video...very well explained..Glad to hear that after 500 miles you've experienced NO LEAKS & Running Excellent 👏 Keep Up The Great Work..I too have a 99 4Runner 2WD that I just replaced front wheel bearings ..inner & outer tie rods .. upper & lower control arms ball joints ..sway bar links & 5100 Bilstein's. Looking forward to rear end bearings ..seals etc. etc.. how about follow up video showing any mods & over view of your vehicle?? Yazmin Venice Beach CA ⛱️
Great job, and thanks for the videos. Between yours and Timmy’s, I think I could do this. I have a P0306 misfire. Had the spark plugs and ignition coils replaced and still have the misfire, so I suppose this is the next step. Already got my refurb’d injectors from motorwest. Thanks!
Just had my spark plugs and coils replaced . It was $480. Still misfires. I’m going to have to do with one myself. Did u try replacing the spark plug wires first?
@@danyo6317yep, plugs, wires, coils. It was fine at first (a lucky startup) after replacing those items, then it started again at next startup. For me, at least, the final verdict was the injectors. I sent my bad ones to Motorwest (after I replaced with their re-man'd ones) and they confirmed the one that was showing in my CEL cylinder mis-fire was, indeed, bad.
I'm going to do this operation this coming week hopefully. I am going to replace the fuel pressure regulator too, as long as I've got things dismantled. I have reason to believe that it's faulty, due to a condition of being difficult to start after having been driven for awhile. (It starts right up after having sat overnight). Some people (here on TH-cam) have managed to replace it without removing the plenum, but I was unable to do so, having difficulty reaching/accessing it. Thanks for your vid.
While it may seem like a lot of parts to remove, it is quite an easy procedure with no special tools needed. Just a little patience. Hope the job goes well for you.
Decided to do this project, definitely was in over my head but we got it done so thank you for this tutorial. Would you recommend using Seafoam in this engine? Still having a check engine light with a stored misfire. Seems to be the case when it's getting colder outside. Thanks again!
I've got the 3.4l and I used seafoam to clean out my intake manifold. A friend's dad of mine who's a fuel specialist at Ford recommend sea from in the gass tank too. Currently, I've dumped half a can in...hoping it'll clean out the crud I can see lower in the valves
Another FYI: you don't have to disconect any fuel lines from the rail to remove the injectors. There is enough space to get them out after removing the 2 bolts per fuel rail that are holding the rails in. I would recommend disconecting the fuel line that's between driver side outer wheel well/ fusebox and where both the plenum's meet.
About to do one myself, this certainly helped seeing it done first, but hank you, and well done. Could you possibly share how long do you think it would take if you did not record the process?
What did the truck do with bad injectors? Or symptoms? I have a 99 with a P0172 system too rich. I checked for vacuum leaks,cleaned maf sensor, etc. it’s hard to diagnose these trucks because I can’t use the scanner to shut off injectors. All sensors are good i guess i’ll try replacing injectors next
Hello friend, did you change the injectors due to some particular error? My Prado 5VZ has excessive consumption and they recommended that I put new injectors, I can't find any other way to test them, but the fuel tank doesn't give me more than 250km.
The job took me a few hours plus some additional time to make sure I had all of the proper tools and parts for the job. The results have been great so far. Not a single misfire, decrease in MPGs or other fuel related issue since the install.

One of the most bulletproof V6 ever made
Amazing video. Talk about preciseness with how you torgue everything, and accuracy with the steps to do this. You rock!!
Thank you for the comment! I truly appreciate when people share how these videos have benefited them.

Thank you for the response! I am so glad that this video helped out!
Working on my 2004 Tundra. Video saved me $1000 at least
I don't (at the moment at least) have to do this to my truck, but i watched the whole thing, good job on the video and thanks for posting it
Good deal! Glad that you enjoyed it!

Great video! I'm not comfortable going this far on my own, but I'm glad I know where I feel like my limit is.
Very good video followed it step by step to change my injectors also did valve covers while there and had no issues
excellent video, thanks for being so detailed and straight forward. this will help me to go down the rabbit hole
Great Video. I am in the process of doing the same job this week and your video helped me to be prepared. Thanks.
Good deal! Thank you for letting me know the video helped.
Outstanding video, complete yet concise! I'd love to have a copy of those notes you wrote :) Thanks, this helped me out.
Glad that It helped out! I need to start making digital copies of my notes so that I can share.
Awesome Video...very well explained..Glad to hear that after 500 miles you've experienced NO LEAKS & Running Excellent 👏
Keep Up The Great Work..I too have a 99 4Runner 2WD that I just replaced front wheel bearings ..inner & outer tie rods .. upper & lower control arms ball joints ..sway bar links & 5100 Bilstein's.
Looking forward to rear end bearings ..seals etc. etc.. how about follow up video showing any mods & over view of your vehicle??

I can probably put a video together of an overview of my 4Runner!
That would be AWESOME 👌
One of the best how to’s I’ve seen. Great work 👍
thank you for this video. Your presentation is pretty thorough.
Happy to make it for everyone, thank you for the compliment.
Great video need to do my truck next week and will follow your video.
Saved thousands

Just did this following your video. Thanks broooooo!!!
You are very welcome!

Change the fuel filter. It’s easy. Buy only oem there are legit Toyota dealerships on eBay that sell everything you need at good prices
Just an FYI you don't have to disconect the throttle body from the upper plenum for removal of intake manifold.

It probably took around 3 hours with every I needed laid out and ready to go. Filming not included.

I made a video discussing the symptoms that the vehicle had. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/RlkuNg7pt1Q/w-d-xo.html
What's the part number on the aluminum washers for the 17mm bolts?
Can you please list the part numbers for the items you used?
Fantastic video!
Dont need to remove throttle cable, theres a bolt on the intake you can remove and leave em on the tb..
amazing video! thank you so much.
Thank you for the comment!
Great vid
Hello friend, did you change the injectors due to some particular error? My Prado 5VZ has excessive consumption and they recommended that I put new injectors, I can't find any other way to test them, but the fuel tank doesn't give me more than 250km.
Yes I had the error code P0304. Here is the video I put together on how I diagnosed it was the injectors. th-cam.com/video/RlkuNg7pt1Q/w-d-xo.html
Banjo bolts are hella tight on mine
Nice 👍🏻
How long did this process take you? How would you say the results have been over a longer period of new injectors?
The job took me a few hours plus some additional time to make sure I had all of the proper tools and parts for the job. The results have been great so far. Not a single misfire, decrease in MPGs or other fuel related issue since the install.
Hey would this process also work with a 3.4L V6 engine on a 2nd gen 4runner? Thanks for the info
Assuming that the engine is swapped into the 2nd gen, the process should be similar but I can't say that it would be exactly the same.
Where did you buy the fuel injector replacement parts
I purchased the injectors from motor west performance, and all of the rest of the parts came from Toyota.
Thx 🙏
Good job kid.
Always use OEM everything on these trucks.
Anyone know how to get the correct operating temp off these engines using an IR heat gun?
How do you bend the rebar?
There are easier ways of doing this job. Great video for reference though :)
can you purchase this as a kit
Not that I know of. There may be an aftermarket company that does it but I am not not familiar.
@@rustbucketproductions thanks is that all oem parts used in this video
So how it do now that you change it
I have had no gas leaks, no misfires and the car runs very smooth. I have also seen a very slight increase in MPGs over the past 1,500 miles.
@@rustbucketproductions nice
Hey for those young kids playing games all day long ,watch this video and learn,instead of being in your fkng room doing nothing.
I'm in the process of doing mine now. What code was your CEL??
Excellent video!
Thank You!
