brandon,
the BEST thing you can do for your car at this point, is:
goto www.partznet.com
get pricing on the following:
plugs
wires (with coil wire)
distributor cap (and rubber seal if needed)
rotor
fuel filter
write down all the prices, and take that to your local toyota dealer.
ask them if they can price match, and have them get you the parts listed.
clean your air filter.
then, do everything on that list.
if you dont have flare wrenchs, you may wanna pass on the fuel filter,it can be a pain to do, and you can kink up your fuel line pretty bad if your not careful.
all the other stuff is very easy to do.
if you need any help, PM me, im right in MA and willing to help if you need it. =)
