Denso TT plugs $2.30 ea

Denso wires $29
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307

or the NGK $34 (even in blue)
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307

either of these are stock quality.

the ones that say "5mm" like these are unnecessary with a stock ignition system
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.p...&cc=1274307

but they are still only $10 more /shrug
if you go to your local autoparts store they will stick you good for them.

pretty sure Denso is what they have from the factory.

the Toyota motor manual says they can have up to 25,000 ohms with the wire including the dist cap.
to me this seems obscene, especially when brand new ones are like 1,000 ohms.
Over time the heat and grease in the engine bay will break down insulation on the wires, if they are more than 50,000 miles or so they can foul, more likely from the
outside-in. be sure and replace the dist cap and rotor while your at it. It won't make your motor more powerful than it already is but - in the past I have
had a car not run right, jerking, stalling, dying, and then I spent $200 to take it to a shop just to have them tell me it needed plugs and wires : |


and I would argue that although the wires are not "moving" millions of the little bitty electrons are zipping through the copper conductors each second.
