Crack open the factory manual, it should tell the 90,00o mile tune up schedule.

soon I'll replace my plugs/wires/ distributor cap/rotor and maybe coil.
I was looking at service manual and I have one question,
Is "High Tension Cord" same as ignition wires? I'm lil confused...

Din, I'm going for Denso Iridium plugs, and stock toyota wires. here are some infos.

No, not unless it needs it. Take the cord off, and test its resistance. If its within range, its fine. If it's not, then time to swap out the wires.

If you have over 90,000 miles, a plug wire swap is most likely due.
