Hi real stupid question where are the spark plugs on a 98 toyota tacoma located
Thank You so much lisa
Ted i think we have a worse problem when he got home yesterday the truck was acting like it was not running on all cylinders so we did pull the plugs a couple of the plugs looked like they had antifreeze on them so we dried everything out replaced the plugs then fired it up it ran fine for a couple of minutes then started the same thing running rough we were unsure as jim had steam cleaned the engine the night before and was unsure if it was water or antifreeze it did not smell like anti freeze but did look that way i advised him not to drive the truck but he is any ideas im thinking head gasket or ? thank you lisa
AnswerIf there was no unusual smoke from the tailpipe(white steam) I don't think it's a headgasket problem, it is possible that the spark plug wires shorted out, make sure that all the water is gone from the wire connectors and inside the spark plug tubes.
If you supect that it may be a headgasket problem have the toyota dealer do a headgasket test before doing anything.
