1985 Toyota Van - Where are the spark plugs?

not exactly sure about the access location for your van, by my 92 Previa has an access panel under the front passenger seat. I had to remove the seat and fold back the carpet to get to it. at least the carpet was designed with Velcro tabs in that location, which made things slightly easier. after removing the access cover, the valve cover/spark plugs/wires/distributor cap, were easy to get to.

I'd think things would be similar for your 85 van since both are mid-engine vehicles.

Never owned a Toyota Van, but...

Is there a distributor that you can locate? If so, follow the wires.

It you need to ask ...

The spark plugs are in the same old place, on top of the motor. They could be hidden under a cover, but they are exactly where you would expect them to be.

Thanks but I've already removed the seat and still can't find them.

Thanks, but I can't find either, or I see them and don't recogize them. Strange because I've been working on my own cars since 1960. I'll keep looking and, if I have to, I'll get a (ghasp!) Chilton's. I'd rather just find the sparkplugs.

Yeah. Skip, they could be beneath the valve cover or something hokey like that.

Try calling the local Toyota dealership's Service Department. Ask them. At least, they should have a factory service manual that will tell them where they are located.

I'll take another look.

I found them. They were underneath the plug wires with a type of boot I've never seen before and didn't recognize.
