I've learned my lesson with after-market. 2000 Tacoma V6 (130K miles). I've had it > 20 years. I've had to replace the ignition wiring harness 3 times in the past 30K miles. The two aftermarket wiring harnesses didn't last long. I bought OEM wiring harness and plugs last week. No more aftermarket for me. Petr has kept my truck on the road. It runs like new. Thanks Petr!
My 2009 Corolla coils went at 90k miles a few months ago so 15 odd years. I saw a video from the car care nut that said the 2zrfe likes to go through coils so it checked out for me. I brought DENSO coils which are a lot cheaper than the Toyota OEM ones.
I’ve changed mine every 120,0000 miles. Then I did it at 240,000 now presently up to 265k. 120k is the recommended interval in the manual. It’s a 2007 Vibe (which is a Matrix). Still have the original coils.
@ I have found Toyota’s coils usually go out between 250-300k if plugs are changed on the intervals. You can get Densos on Rock auto for 50 bucks each, might be cheap insurance to change them out soon.
@@hokie9910 so I’ve heard the Vibe and Matrix’s odometers max out at 299,999. Something about a cost savings move. Have you heard anything about that? I’m at 265k and heading there.
I had a 2009 Yaris with a 1NZ-FE engine with a failed ignition coil 3 just like yours. It had only had 28000 miles on it. Apparently water had gotten into the spark plug well from the split plastic cowling above it causing arcing and damaging the boot on the coil. Cheap fix with just a new rubber boot and a new spark plug. That Corolla has the same modular cowling.
Toyota sold many cars to rental agencies. The Corolla is a popular car with rentals. The debris under the windshield wiper needs to be cleaned. I don't like all that junk on my car
No, it won't do to much. I drove my 2011 scion about that distance. Noticed a check engine light and weird feel while on the way home. Got home and checked it out. different code, same problem. New coil and it was perfect. No issues since.
If you know how, unplug the fuel injector... Sometimes the unburned fuel can damage the catalytic converter and wash down the cylinder walls winding up in the oil.
The person who has this car doesn’t know how to drive if you look the front bumper and at the back they are all scrap and bad shape that should not have a driver license.

Petr, We will check back in 16 years to see if the aftermarket coils last as long as the originals.

Cool. I have twice the miles on a 2006 Matrix. Original coils. Change the plugs every 100k and the coils will last.
That is a very good point, also change the coil “tips”, the rubber part that comes off every 100k and it will really help extend the coil life.

@ I have not
Had an '07 Matrix (same as Corolla), best car ever had, 215K miles with NO PROBLEMS!
@@RonRussell-sj1zf Nice. I have 226k miles on my 06 Matrix. They really are great cars.
I was under a car during the quake of 89.... Loma Prieta????? the car .... mercury sable ..... fell off the lift..... that one was bad.....
Slate's Service.... Cupertino California....
Poor car has had a rough life. 😢
Thank you for another great video 👏👏👏

Great video, great tips 👍
Nice Vest Peter 👍🏻, , , I have the same one.
Denso coils on Rockauto for 1/3 of what the dealer sells them for. Just bought 8 for my sons 100 series Landcruiser for 450 bucks for all 8!
I have a 2012 corolla s with 114k on it, and it runs great.
Another great video Peter, just had problems with hearing you speak had to keep turning up volume
They must park in a National Forest, or be a lumberjack. After that long, you can expect a coil, or even two of them, to fail.
Thanks Peter that video has helped me a lot.

Put 250k on a 2000 prism i bought at 140k. Burned a quart of oil a week but purted like a kitten. Paint and body looked like crap but who cares
Self sabotage to put aftermarket coils in it….I have had experience with both on my old Corolla….not making that mistake again
We don't deserve Corollas.
Would it damage the Corolla engine to drive it +/- 30 miles with that coil failed?
No, it won't do to much. I drove my 2011 scion about that distance. Noticed a check engine light and weird feel while on the way home. Got home and checked it out. different code, same problem.
