How to Remove Spark Plug Wires From a 2000 Toyota Camry

Removing the spark plug wires from your 2000 Toyota Camry may be necessary to replace defective spark plug wires. The 2.2-liter engine uses four wires connected to the spark plugs on one end and one of two coils on the opposite end. The wires have specific lengths, so getting a direct replacement set of wires for your car from an auto parts store is going to make your life much easier. The wires will fit correctly, making for a smoother installation.

Instructions

    1

    Open the hood of your Camry and locate the negative battery terminal. Loosen the clamp bolt on the negative battery cable end with a wrench and remove it from the battery terminal. Isolate the battery cable from the battery for safety while you work.

    2

    Locate the spark plug wires on the spark plugs. The plugs are on the front of the engine about halfway down the cylinder head.

    3

    Grasp the spark plug wire boot on the spark plug end of the wire and pull it straight off the plug while twisting it side to side to help loosen it from the plug. Follow the wire along its length and locate the boot at the ignition coil.

    4

    Grasp the boot on the coil end of the spark plug wire and pull it out of the coil. If you are installing new wires, now is the time to replace this one. Move to the next wire and repeat the process, continuing one wire at a time until you replace or remove all four wires.
