I was given an "offer" to have my spark plugs changed for $368!
I have an 02 4runner with 289,500 miles. I've had it for the last 106,000. Replaced the timing belt/ water pump twice. Replaced spark plugs twice. New brakes a few times.
Unfortunately no--replace them. The electrodes wear down and become less efficient. The good news is that iridium plugs have a tremendous lifespan. You're supposed to change them every 100k miles/167k km.
Last thing on my agenda is the spark plugs. Got it with 131K and I’m pretty sure the previous owner literally sold it to avoid doing them. I know I should have done them yesterday, but god it looks like a bitch, even with Car Care Nut’s guide. I’m planning on doing the job with the new plenum gaskets, and ignition coils while I’m back there.
O drove my Corolla to the point the spark plugs weren't firing and the car wouldn't start. I changed the plugs and it ran great after that.
I do need to change the spark plugs. I haven't done that in 10+ years and 100,000+ miles. It just started misfiring slightly I believe (haven't checked the code yet), but it runs and drives well still.
Bought a 03 100 series with 241,000 only issue was the number 7 spark plug blew out, had to re-tap it and install a aluminum sleeve, and replace the coil
Maintenance: 39th Oil Change (every 10K) and Tire Rotation, 13th Engine Air Filter, 13th Cabin Air Filter, 3 brake jobs, 3 coolant flushes, 2 spark plug changes w/carbon cleaning, no suspension work, no transmission service, 1 Break Down at 280K Due to a Design Flaw In The MGR Cable Which Powers The Hybrid System $5200, cat issue at 380K due to bad gas, no hybrid battery replacements in case you were wondering, does not consume oil
UPDATE: owners manual calls for replacement around 120k so I'm not that far behind i guess. Still went out and bought 4 new plugs and installed them. $80 at the dealer
Noticed before the LTFT was -6% and now its back to 0%.
Those look great last time I did mine they were all carboned up but I was at 300k but definitely made a difference in Fuel economy and a little less sluggish
