Hello,

Can someone please tell me what that silver metal bar across the top of
the spark plugs (2003 2.4L Taco automatic) is? Do I need to remove it to
change the plugs? If so, how do I remove it? What is it's purpose?

Thanks

Mike

you have the 2RZ-FE which has direct ignition
the older 2RZ-FE and 3RZ-FE had coil packs, but the newer engine have the coil pack directly bolted to the spark plug
buy a Tacoma service manual and you will be all good

That silver bar might be the fuel rail that supplys fuel to the fuel injectors. The spark plugs are barried down in the cam cover.
