Jackhole.

And if that is what you were referring to, you obviously know fuckall about tools.

So where is the hand? Not touching the vise grip when those pliers are holding a spark plug to the block. Why should the obvious be explained?

Demonstrated here is a question to answer your first question: What, do you think they attach themselves by way of magic? Mental telepathy? No wonder you are confused.

Second question addressed: Because you often appear to know something about which you post, and, at this time, you appear to be an idiot.

Leave it as you will, but, don't try to make those of us who know what we're talking about look dumb just because you spoke out of your ass about something you don't seem to comprehend. And refuse to understand.

It's right here.

Aaaaand you don't know how to post a picture.


I'm done, now.

Wow. You are so easily made emotional. Meanwhile 1) vise grips hold a spark plug to the block while the hand is inside the car turning the key. Did you think about that? 2) Vise grips clamped to the engine block mean vise grips are at zero volts. Did you think about that? 3) Vise grips holding a spark plug to the block means no hands need hold the vise grips. It is so simple that even a child can comprehend it.

BTW, be very careful to not take a piss using vise grips. Should you need that explained, then just ask.

The word has ten letters. Do you understand it? Electricity has eleven letters. Apparently that is confusing.

For others: Lumberjim posts insults because he knew Jeeps are better on slippery roads. He said he knows because he feels it is true. Facts that exposed his myth make him angry. He cannot accept that myths and hearsay so easily manipulate. So the emotional Lumberjim constantly posts insults like an adult thinking like a child.

Any idiot would not hold 20,000 volts with a metal tool. Clamp it in place with a hand tool such as vise grips or a clip. So simple to grasp. But the fewest, such as Lumberjim, fear to learn. Then get angry and post insults.
you mad, bro?

The only idiot is the guy who posts insults because he cannot read. That is you, bro.

What insult?

glatt 01-19-2014 01:37 PM
Changed the plugs and wires, and it's working well now. Or at least for the 2 minutes I let it idle. We'll see how it does after running errands.

I suspect that the intermittent stalling problem was a separate issue, and may crop up again. But after considerable research, I suspect that the engine coolant temperature sensor is the culprit. Apparently a lot of Camry owners have had this problem and fixed it by replacing that sensor. But there's an easy test. If the problem manifests itself again, I just unplug that sensor. If it gets better, it was the sensor, and it needs replacing.

Yesterday I switched out the engine coolant temperature sensor. The car had been behaving normally for a few weeks, but based on my research and questions at a Toyota repair forum, I think an intermittent fault at this sensor was causing my stalling problems, and the bad spark plug wires were just a coincidence.

So I let the car cool off so I wouldn't burn myself on the coolant gushing out when I removed the sensor and quickly inserted the new one. And I made the switch.
