I have a 95 4runner, v6 4 wheel drive, we were replacing the spark plugs and wires, the plug on tge passenger side closest to the cab is causing much woe, its impossible to get that plug in, is there a trick or some majic spell, anything at all I could do so my truck can get back on the road?

SOURCE: spark plug replacement

The recommended milage is 60k miles for the plugs.I wouldn't wory about anything else except.Keep a clean air filter change the oil when required and check the trans fluid as it likes to discolor easy.So a simple drain and refill often helps.It is like a oil change they have a drain plug on the pan (very nice).It takes about four quarts of fluid and the dipstick will tell you what type of fuid to use it is stamped on the metal by the level marks.Good luck Thanks for using Fix Ya

First, make sure the spark plug is in tight and not cross threaded (take it and put back in). If the plug is loose, pressure comes out of the cylinder and pushed the wire off.

Second, push the spark plug boot on and massage the air out of the boot.

Hope this helps.

Spark Plug - Removal & Installation

Remove the spark plugs and wires one at a time to avoid confusion and incorrect wiring during installation.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable, and if the vehicle has been run recently, allow the engine to thoroughly cool.
2. On engines equipped with spark plugs, carefully twist the spark plug wire boot to loosen it, then pull upward and remove the boot from the plug. Be sure to pull on the boot and not on the wire, otherwise the connector located inside the boot may become separated.
3. On engines with coil-over-plug ignition, remove the ignition coil for access to the spark plug. For additional information, please refer to the following topic(s): Engine Electrical, Ignition Coil.
4. Using compressed air, blow any water or debris from the spark plug well to assure that no harmful contaminants are allowed to enter the combustion chamber when the spark plug is removed. If compressed air is not available, use a rag or a brush to clean the area.

1. Using a spark plug socket that is equipped with a rubber insert to properly hold the plug, turn the spark plug counterclockwise to loosen and remove the spark plug from the bore.

1. Inspect the spark plug boot for tears or damage. If a damaged boot is found, the spark plug wire must be replaced.
2. Using a wire feeler gauge, check and adjust the spark plug gap. When using a gauge, the proper size should pass between the electrodes with a slight drag. The next larger size should not be able to pass while the next smaller size should pass freely.
3. Carefully thread the plug into the bore by hand. If resistance is felt before the plug is almost completely threaded, back the plug out and begin threading again. In small to reach areas, an old spark plug wire and boot or a short length of rubber hose, placed on the spark plug, could be used as a threading tool. The boot will hold the plug while you twist the end of the wire and the wire is supple enough to twist before it would allow the plug to cross-thread.

1. Carefully tighten the spark plug. If the plug you are installing is equipped with a crush washer, seat the plug, then tighten about 1 / 4 turn to crush the washer. If you are installing a tapered seat plug, tighten the plug to 1115 ft. lbs. (1520 Nm).
2. If equipped with coil-over-plug ignition, install the ignition coil assembly(ies).
3. If equipped with spark plugs, apply a small amount of silicone dielectric compound to the end of the spark plug lead or inside the spark plug boot to prevent sticking, then install the boot to the spark plug and push until it clicks into place. The click may be felt or heard, then gently pull back on the boot to assure proper contact.

Check the ignition relay and all the main relays on the battery.
