Spark Plug Wire Set

[MINISuperCooper]

I've just spend an hour or so looking for an oem spark plug wire set. I'm replacing the spark plugs in our '03 v8. I'm getting the Denso SK20R11 which appear to be OE. However, I'm having a heck of a time finding the part number for the spark plug wire set. Is this one ok? Amazon.com: Denso 671-8184 Ignition Wire: Automotive

Or does anyone know the OEM part number?

Thank you!

it has COPs and does not use plug wires.

You're having a hard time because there are no spark plug wires on this vehicle.

It is CoP (Coil on Plug) meaning the ignition coil & wire is all one assembly that bolts onto the valve cover over the spark plug.

Oh…LOL! :boom:

That make sense…thank you! We just bought this 4Runner, and I've never dealt this anything like that. Boy do I feel dumb!

Manufacturers have been building ignition systems that way since the late 90's. I think everyone has this type of system now.

I've never had a truck before this, so I've always dealt with spark plug wires. Our MINI and our Mustang both have them. I was looking at the 4runner's engine today, and I have to say it makes more sense that way. There's definitely less to go wrong. I suppose you have to remove the air box to get to the front two plugs on the passenger side? The truck only has 55,000 miles on it, but it's 12 years old. I'm thinking those plugs have been in there a long time, but they may be okay with the low miles. I may pull one out this week and check it.

You must have an older Mustang because the first vehicle I ever saw this type of ignition system.

It's a 2000 v6. …pretty old I suppose.

IMHO: I would not change them @ 55K… unless you just want to do it…

I have changed mine @ 92K (recommended time for V8 Iridium Spark Plugs replacement is 90K) and they all looked great, with minimum wear; here is the link to my post: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/183993-changed-spark-plugs-4runner-4-7-v8-;.html

Spark plug wire set 5th gen?

Looking for information to help me buy Spark plug wire set 5th gen (2011 4runner sr5). Not sure how to specify a full set. Seeing individual wires and a "set" with image of only 3 wires.

First and foremost, this is the 4th Gen forum section that you have posted your question, you have a 5th Gen so you should post your question in the 5th Gen forum section!

That being said if you would have read what has been posted in this topic you would know that T4Rs haven't had spark plug wires in many years, the coils connect directly onto the sparks plugs.

I just checked my plugs this past weekend, and will be replacing them this upcoming weekend. I had both the airbox and the intake tube up to the throttle body removed, made things very easy. The wiring harness going through the firewall gets a little in the way on the passenger side but that's easily pushed aside. On the driver's side, the plug closest to the windshield was tight in space to unplug the coil. I had to use some snap ring pliers to push the locking mechanism with one hand, with a flat head screwdriver to lift the connecting plug from it's socket.
