Your 00 only has the three wires. I would suggest Factory plugs and wires. DO NOT GO BOSCH Toyotas do not do well on Bosch.

NGK is factory plugs, and try toyotapartsales.com for parts.

Hmm, so many Spark Plug models from the brand Denso.
W0133-1641865 $3.95
W0133-1632106 $12.95
W0133-1642188 $2.95
http://www.car-stuff.com/store/detai...2VtZW50&Y=2000

I couldn't navigate the toyotapartstore to well.
Those sku's don't make sense to me, other than the cost.

What am I looking for in spark plugs?
I'll be going to a shop/store soon this week.

Thanks.

try autopartswarehouse.com for wires. i personally bought NGK irridium that last 90k miles (top of the line), and to compliment those, i will get NGK wires (blue its nice) from there for like 39 i think. but then if you buy somethign else like a cheap filter, get your total to 50 bucks, you get free shipping.

I bought my plugs and wires from autohausaz.com along with some other stuff. The Denso plugs are $1.98 and NGK plug wires are $29.50. Orders over $50 ship for free so find another $9 worth of stuff to buy and you get a pretty good deal.

Has anyone ever used the MSD plug wires on a 3.4 V6? I've contemplating getting them along with the Denso irridiums.

Is it recommended to stay with 5mm wires? Thats what I have been told.

I have been looking for 7mm or 8mm but I cant seem to find any. Would it be worth it with the 3.0 V6?

thanks
