locotrucker Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Can anyone tell me how I can remove the spark plugs that are under the intake manifold on my 93 gs300 without having to remove the intake manifold itself? It looks like there just is'nt enough room to pull those plugs up and out from under the manifold. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intakerGS Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Can anyone tell me how I can remove the spark plugs that are under the intake manifold on my 93 gs300 without having to remove the intake manifold itself? Can't be done as I recall. Copy & paste: Just remove the air intake box. then remove the throttle body , which should consist of two connectors and two coolant hoses and the throttle plate cable. all very easily accessible. once you have the cable, connectors and coolant hoses dissconnected, there is one nut at the bottom of the throttle body and two long screws at the top. slide the throttle body of the rod at the bottom. then remove the three bolt that hold on the big rubber gasket. now disconnect the three coils (which the little clips will break, but dont worry. after removing the wires and coil IMPORTANT!!! blow out all the debris in the alley due to it might fall in the engine while removing the spark plugs. perform service and dont worry if you mix up the coils it wont matter. just make sure the the wire go in the rght spots. then assemble together.
