spark plugs and issue
So what is the best or which plugs have you guys found to work the best?
I just did plugs and wires bc my 93 was missing at idle every now and then... now it has a severe miss while accelerating.. I pulled iridiums out of it, and put in double platinum which is oem.. wires are correct and plugs gapped right.. what else should I look at? How much of a pain in the *** is it to change the cap and rotor?

It's really not that bad at all. I had a miss a about a year ago and went through all that plus coils and it turned out to be some wires that were rubbing against the serpentine belt.

you need to replace caps, rotors, and those 21 year old wires - these jobs are not difficult if you have basic mechanic skills and more importantly, good attention to detail and focus
for caps and rotors, make sure to use the real genuine Toyota parts, you can buy them at many dealerships online at a 25% discount such as Sewell Lexus, Lexus of South Atlanta, Lexus Parts now, etc.
on wires, NGK or Denso from amazon or rockauto.com online sources are your best deal
and do a scan of your codes using the procedure here, in case there is an issue beyond just a tune-up

Arn't the double, triple, and quad electrode plugs just marketing BS?
I have a general understanding of how electricity works and IMO the spark is going to jump from whatever electrode has the least resistance.
Its not going to split into 2,3, or 4 seperate sparks.
correct me if I am wrong.
I would always run whatever the factory used.

well then it probably had factory stuff in it.. i changed the plugs and wires when i went in just bc i was already there..
I'll look into the cap and rotor, the wires that would hit the belt have already been addressed when i first got the car bc the ECU went out.. but with a new ECU plugs and wires, I'm gonna change the cap and rotor and maybe coils.. i have the mechanic skill just not the patiance hence why i run a shop and not work on vehicles anymore!! lol
Thank yall for all the help!!
