get the stock distributor cap. i got mine at rally lexus. what type of spark plugs did you get? i got the Denso Iridium IK16 #5303 - Gap 0.044 sparks. Car runs smoother than before, a little bit faster too but that's probably in my head.

Trini,

Welcome to ClubLexus!

I've got some hints and suggestions for you that will help both you and other members who are wading through all your posts.

1) As OneLastTry recommends above, PLEASE try the search engine before asking a question. It's the big box at the top left of the forum, and you can point it at a specific forum (SC or maintenance for example)

2) You might try making your post titles a little more specific and you'll get better responses. "please please help" isn't very descriptive and sounds a bit, well... needy. I'm changing your title this time to "Help with intake removal to change plugs and distributor"

3) Try to be a little more discrete in your posts (AND in your searches to find answers first). Do you want to know how to remove the intake to change your plugs? Or do you want to know how to change the timing? Or do you want to know recommendations for new distributors? Group your questions into posts of items that are related.

4) Recognize that we have different forums and sub-forums to put your posts in. Please take your best crack at finding the right place for your question.
