I did also notice my throttle response is a little better

Most likely. I used a spark plug socket, doesn’t have the rubber inside, this one holds on to the plug with a magnet.

Yea, it has crosses my mind because there is a very small piece missing ...

And to all of this I will add that I drove close to 70 miles and about 15 key cycles without a CEL/throwing any codes and getting 13 mpg....:wacko:

Fount The culprit. After replacing the first three spark plugs back to my old ones found that the one farthest from the firewall on the passenger side had a crack on the ceramic. Replaced it with one of my old ones and left the new ones in the other five cylinders. Took it for a test drive and...

Will be triple check in on that since this will be the third time I repeat the operation. They all went in like butter so it’s hard to believe that one may not have been seated properly after doing it twice

The wires seem to be part of a harness And I don’t even wanna think about having to replace the entire harness. I will be starting what’s easiest first.

I’ve considered fuel as well but I’m running on the same tank as before I replaced them and never had these symp before. I’ve driven around 70 miles at this point and still no CEL/codes. After dinner I’m just going to put back my old plugs and see if the dealership will exchange them.

This is what makes more sense to me

Yup, that’s what the Toyota tech and service advisor said until they drove it and felt the misfire. Drove and ruled out transmission. Specially since there have been no symptoms whatsoever until the new plugs.

Couldn’t have because I do them individually.

Checked for correct part number and visually compared each one to the old ones

Definite misfire. Short Sudden loss of power

That what I thought so I took it to the Toyota dealership and a very nice service advisor scanned for any pending codes @ no cost, he even drove it to feel the symptoms, came out negative. When I give it more throttle it still does it until after 2000 rpms. It does it very little at idle and not...

That’s what I was afraid I may have to do. The plugs are the Denso Japanese brand that I got at the dealership
