so i was going to replace the old rusted platinum ones with some shiny NGK iridium plugs, there listed as replacements for my engine yet the toyota manual say only to use platinums..

 

can someone tell me where the plugs are located on a 2002 camry 4 cyclinder engine?

I took a quick peak yesterday (but didn't have much time).
There are metal covers over all valve cover and the intake manifold area... are the plugs under one of these covers? -or are they in the back of the engine towards the cabin firewall?

seems like an easy thing to find, yet these japanese cars have everythign crammed in such a tight spot ..it's hard to find stuff!

thanks,

 

should be right on the top of the motor

 

There at the other end of the spark plug wires on top of the engine. Easy to get to, hard to miss.

thanks,

there is a large plastic cover over the wires and plugs...that is why I didn't spot the plugs and wires initially!
