sounds like your coil is bad. it could be the plugs, there are certain double platinum plugs that wont work with newer toyota motors (my dads 98 2.7 taco wont run double platinums) as well as a few other motor/plug combos that dont work. so thats might be the problem.

the best plugs for these cars are the stock NGK's as far as ive read, or coppers. they dont last as long, but they provide the best spark for the buck and with regular maintenance youd never have a problem.

check your coil/pack tho and see if its delivering proper voltage and do a resistance test.

weak spark is a huge problem that gets mis-diagnosed alot.
