blackes2000 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I'm screwed, I started to replace my plugs in my 2000 ES300. I pulled off the first coil and the clip came out of the coil boot. This is the clip that actually snaps onto the tip of the spark plug. VV-Timing engine. It has 6 coils, (one for each plug). At $100 a pop I'm scared as heck to pull off the next one. Are they all going to break off? Is there a way to fix it without buying a new coil? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackes2000 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Let me clarify.. Is there anyway to fix the broken coil? It's nothing more than a metal clip?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Not sure it can be without a pic ,since i have never broken one or noticed the part you mention inside the sheath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackes2000 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I understand. I'm sure that it can be fixed but I'm not an electrical expert and for $100, I'm going to just buy a new coil. Then I'm going to have the rest of the plugs replaced by a dealer. I can't afford to break another one. Do you know if you have to take the intake plenum off to get to the rear 3 plugs? Any gaskets, etc that need to be replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 You don;t need to take off the plenum but it does get easier without it. Just need an adjustable joint an extension and some blind manovering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
