spark plugs

I have a 99 4-runner with a v-6. Wondering where the spark plugs are? Pics would be great. And also what kind of plug should i replace them with? Thanks in advance...

I get the ones from the dealer, they are about the same price as others but i know they are what is made for it and they have the dual electrodes.

welcome to yotatech its a pretty easy job dont for get to use anti seize on the spark plug threads also use a spark plug socket to remove them and use it to get a few turns on the new ones switch over to a deep metric socket to finish the job http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/mainte...tenancep3.html

Not to be a jerk, but if you cant even locate the plugs, then you might not want to change them yourself.

Being this green, you defiantly need to get a FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL!

I think he might not realize that the coils on the right side take the place of the cables. I know when i first got mine i could see the left side fine but could not really tell where the spark plug cables were coming from until i took the airbox off and saw that it uses 3 coils vs the 1 (or distribulator) that i was used to.

But yes a FSM is still a great idea!
