Not to belabor the point, but were the sets you tried Toyota, or aftermarket?

Anyway, where are the sparks coming and going to? If it os grounding out ot the frame, I would suspect ground wires. What part of the coil is it coming from. If it were me, I would check all the gound cables and make sure they are tight, and have good terminals. THen if that doesnt work, I would order Toyota (denso or NGK or Aisin), whoever makes the coils, and replace them. I would replace the wires and plugs, too, and check my distributer cap to see if it was OK.
THis may all sound like throuwing darts at the problem, but that explains my name
