Also, go back to earlier in the video and go full screen before he takes them off. I see 1-4-3-2, but is this the same for a camry? The camry OEM coils are marked 1-4-2-3.
Thank you very much, I had no idea how to fix P0302 on my 1999 Corolla. I watched this video a few times and then I was able to fix my car the first time around.
I forgot to take a picture before i started pulling my mom's spark plug wires. Im glad i found your video and you showed the firing orders and which plugs to plugging in. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!!! One last question, when i had new spark plugs installed , mechanic put an electric tape on the ceramic portion of the spark plugs and said i can have the tape removed once he puts a valve gasket, it will prevent oil from going to the plugs... Now another mechanic tried to remove the tape, the plugs was all sticky , all the tape was removed but the fourth plug was slipping and the plug wont come out.. If i leave the plug way it is, would it cause any damage? would the tape melt and goin inside the head? that mechanic was stupid... and i dont know what to do... any insight please? also i have noticed when the new mechanic took the tape out, the car runs smoothly...
I need to replace the ignition coils on my 1999 Corolla in addition to my wires/spark plugs. I see you have a tutorial where you change out the coils on a 99 Camary - do they have the same set up for coils? Would that tutorial work for a Corolla? Great videos, thanks for posting these!
I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla. I was told they aren't on the top and my wires look just like that. Are they what you are plugging the wires into (where you're talking about being careful of the order 1,4,3,2)? I was told there are only two. Is that correct? I have a friend doing this for me, but I would just like to know a little info for myself.
Allison Constant you have the ignition wire style then, make sure to have the wire plugged back into the distributor the same way you removed it. Make sure it's in the correct firing sequence or you will have a misfire.
you press on the connecting clip part and then pull, it can get stuck on there pretty hard because of that metal piece. Just make sure to press on the clip and then pull or else it won't come out.
NutzAboutBolts exactly where do you press on the clip....i've tried everything and I can't get it to budge....it looks so easy for you in the video, but im pressing everywhere around the clip and it is just stuck... please help!
I just did this on a 1998 Chevy Prizm which is basically the same car. Is it normal that the plugs don't make a snap sound when pushing them into the side of the engine? I think I got one of them to snap, but the other 3 I pushed as hard and I could and they wouldn't snap. They appear to be locked into place as I can pull on them hard and they won't come off, but it's a bit concerning that one would snap, and the other 3 wouldn't.
I like to share my friend's 1998 Corolla History, at 230,000 mileage. The engine light on the dashboard lite up, so I use the Car Code scanner to find the problems. The scanner give us the code is "P0304" (Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected). Since there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. We know there is no problem inside the engine. We changed our first set of Spark Plugs and Ignition wires set. And the problem is solved. Man.........,Toyota part is super durable. If the engine light is not lite up. You don't have to change it. save the money and buy something for your love one....... One more thing I have to share. We only use Super Unleaded Gasoline in our car. I know a lot of experts will say you don't have to. But our 230,000 mileage proof that Higher Octane gasoline is really good for the Toyota's engine. There are no engine oil leak and this is the first set of Spark Plugs and Ignition wires set change since the car were bought New. This is the Iron Proof that Super Unleaded Gasoline and Toyota car engine is a perfect match.
Andrew Woon - 1. How often do you change oil? 2. What kind of oil? 3. I hit a big pothole and now every time i start my car and i reverse out my driveway the steering wheel clicks, its not loud and it only happens first thing in the morning when the car is cold.
If i have a misfire in cylinders 1&4, and granted it's been a couple years since i've done a tune up on the car, would that possibly be the ignition coil, since the one closest to the front of the car controls 1&4?
Cool. I went ahead and replaced my plugs today and my PCV valve. It took forever to unscrew the PCV valve and when i went to go put the new valve on it was hard to find the threading. I finally did, but it was REALLY hard to screw on. not like putting my full body weight on it, but it was harder than usual. Im scared I stripped something, but it seems to be secure and my car is running fine...
Allison Constant this is the cap and rotor style. If it was the ignition coil style, it would be right ontop of the spark plugs where the ignition wires are in this video.
Does anyone know where the tach wire is a 99 corolla ce. I want to install one but can't find where to. I've been looking for about two weeks and still can't find anything. Can someone please help before I just sell the car which is perfectly good and running.
Hello good evening how are you doing I think all is fine please I need help in you can help me I will be happy I want to do a wiring for my Toyota Corolla a year 2001 body circuit the three socket
NutzAboutBolts im talking about the part where you plug them into the 2 coil packs, only one clicked, the other three i pushed as hard as could but no click.
First he said 1,4,3,2. Second time he said 1,3,4,2. Damn. So you know, I just connected it as 1,4,3,2 and it ran perfectly. Then I swapped it up and connected it as 1,3,4,2 and then it miss fired rough idling. So, 1,4,3,2 is the correct order to connect the wires to the ignition.
1,4,3,2 or 1,4,2,3 ? Heard both and also noticed on the distributor they have 2 numbers each
It’s 1,4,3,2
Also later on he said 1,4,3,2. This also confirmed the correct connection order is 1,4,3,2 .
Also, go back to earlier in the video and go full screen before he takes them off. I see 1-4-3-2, but is this the same for a camry? The camry OEM coils are marked 1-4-2-3.
So annoying. The journey continues.

you mentioned you have another video for 01-02 corollas .. where is it? I couldn't find it on your page
Thanks for the video. My old car (98 with 275k miles) looks like a complete greaseball compared to that nice & clean engine compartment.
ijosef np! thanks for the compliment :)
Thank you so much!!!!

I cant get the locking clip off, and you managed to completely obscure, and ignore HOW to do so! Thanks!
Just pick the locking clip tab from the side of it and it will slide up. The tab is facing the left side of the car.
I need to replace the ignition coils on my 1999 Corolla in addition to my wires/spark plugs. I see you have a tutorial where you change out the coils on a 99 Camary - do they have the same set up for coils? Would that tutorial work for a Corolla? Great videos, thanks for posting these!
DUDE!!! You changed the coil cords order on the second pass, 1 3 4 2, first pass you said 1 4 3 2.
I noticed that right away too. Lol. It's 1 4 3 2. He did it that way in the end.
I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla. I was told they aren't on the top and my wires look just like that.

Thank you so very much!! I am glad I found YOU regarding this wiring thing and the now finding 1,4,2,3!!
yo man, how do you unhook the locking clip, i cant get mine off ... :(
you press on the connecting clip part and then pull, it can get stuck on there pretty hard because of that metal piece. Just make sure to press on the clip and then pull or else it won't come out.
i'm not sure but look for a little tab that fits into a notch
NutzAboutBolts exactly where do you press on the clip....i've tried everything and I can't get it to budge....it looks so easy for you in the video, but im pressing everywhere around the clip and it is just stuck... please help!
Are there 2 coils on that year Corolla or 1? Good video! Very helpful!
Older models one coil box one the side new models one coil per cylinder
I've heard the dielectric grease should only be applied inside the boot? not on the coil parts. Thoughts?
yes, that is true. We only apply it to the boot.
Awesome, thanks for this video btw.
Also, one of my wires is touching the engine block. Is that okay? It's not going to burn the wire is it?
what is the resistance of the wires in ohms.
I just did this on a 1998 Chevy Prizm which is basically the same car. Is it normal that the plugs don't make a snap sound when pushing them into the side of the engine? I think I got one of them to snap, but the other 3 I pushed as hard and I could and they wouldn't snap.

Andrew Woon nocoeite
Andrew Woon - 1. How often do you change oil? 2. What kind of oil? 3. I hit a big pothole and now every time i start my car and i reverse out my driveway the steering wheel clicks, its not loud and it only happens first thing in the morning when the car is cold.
Are these replaced as preventive maintenance or were they bad?
you want to replace it as a preventive maintenance.
If i have a misfire in cylinders 1&4, and granted it's been a couple years since i've done a tune up on the car, would that possibly be the ignition coil, since the one closest to the front of the car controls 1&4?
ZanarkandAce check the resistance of each coil and replace the one's that are bad.
I followed the fire firing order and my car doesn’t start. Why do you think that is ?
I like your videos. My 2001 Corolla is different like you mentioned. I have coils. Are cars equipped with either wires or coils?
yes its both, but if you have coils, you only replace it if its damaged, the wires, you want to replace it everytime you replace your spark plugs.
Cool. I went ahead and replaced my plugs today and my PCV valve. It took forever to unscrew the PCV valve and when i went to go put the new valve on it was hard to find the threading. I finally did, but it was REALLY hard to screw on. not like putting my full body weight on it, but it was harder than usual. Im scared I stripped something, but it seems to be secure and my car is running fine...
Soren Duran
well, I hope you put some anti seize on the PCV valve lol...
Where are the ignition coils on this model located?
Allison Constant this is the cap and rotor style. If it was the ignition coil style, it would be right ontop of the spark plugs where the ignition wires are in this video.
is dielectric grease needed
Yes, on the the ignition coil end that goes on the spark plugs.
Does anyone know where the tach wire is a 99 corolla ce. I want to install one but can't find where to. I've been looking for about two weeks and still can't find anything. Can someone please help before I just sell the car which is perfectly good and running.
Hello good evening how are you doing I think all is fine please I need help in you can help me I will be happy I want to do a wiring for my Toyota Corolla a year 2001 body circuit the three socket
Best place to buy these?
Dealership or an auto part store, whichever is cheaper. They get replaced every 90k miles with the cap and rotors.
Mmmmm. I did not find any 1,4,3,2 in my new $53 Duralast wireset and nil plastic bracket wire holder.. ....
Its so hard to get them to click, only one of mine clicked, is that bad?
As long as you pull them and they don’t come off, it’s all good.
NutzAboutBolts im talking about the part where you plug them into the 2 coil packs, only one clicked, the other three i pushed as hard as could but no click.
Clit Commander it’s a snap on style, if you pushed it in and pull it up and it doesn’t come off, it snapped in fine.
Same! I was only able to get the second wire to click on the side. The other 3 no clicks. Is your car running okay?
aznnp77 ya it runs great dont worry about it, just make sure its in there good.
He said 1432 at first then he said 1342 at the beginning. Jus oogled it its 1432
Thank You!
First he said 1,4,3,2. Second time he said 1,3,4,2. Damn. So you know, I just connected it as 1,4,3,2 and it ran perfectly. Then I swapped it up and connected it as 1,3,4,2 and then it miss fired rough idling. So, 1,4,3,2 is the correct order to connect the wires to the ignition.
Yeah our bad. We pinned the correct firing order comment.
