Help, where are the spark plugs loacted?
WHat tools do I need to replace the spark plugs?
Where are they? IM guessing theyre side mounted? I mean I can't see em, im used to seeing simple, intelligent placing of plugs right on the top of the banks.
Is it even possible to change em without working from under neath?
God im so frustated.
Please help me out.

throtle body removal please help.
I moved all the the bolts except the last one that is under the throtle body in the worst possible place imaginable.
There is absolutely no room to work with I tried to remove the things that get in the way only to find that even the obstacles themselves are harder to remove.
IS there any chart anywhere on the internet describing how to remove the throttle body? I mean theres absolutely no room to work in. I taken out 5 lugs already its the inner most one right next towards the firewall.
I dont understand why the idiots decide to make plug change so incredible complicated. How incredibly assinine.
Worst thing I need this car running tommorrow.
Jesus Christ, I should gotten a domestic.

Just post, it'll be OK people will see it, that's why we post here in the first place. you have a thread going on this, that's where this threads is being merged.

Honestly, I wonder if this little backroom of the forum theylll even notice it. Hell I never even noticed this section until now....
I can't believe how complicated something that should be a 5 minute process can be. I cannot get the last bolt off, if there is an easier way, PLEASE HELP!!!

Everything will be exposed, so you may as well change the wires n stuff while you're at it....
- Best plug wires are Toyota (IMHO)
- Be sure theyre double platinum or they'll foul realllly fast
- Throttle body does not have to be removed to get to that last plug.Take out the 2 screws holding this assembly and use an extension thingy to get to the plug. Its not as far down as the others

Do you have an SC400?
See I have an SC300. And when I tried removing the plugs this plastic thing that went along the bank was fastening all the plugs, I have to remove that, and in order to remove that I have to remove the retarded TB.
