In case someone was interested
Found out the ignition leads were stuffed.
replaced them,
and runing like a dream.

Qestion though
I replaced them with genuine leads.
Guys at Toyota reckon that there a very godd product, purposely built ra ra ra. Even though as I sugested they are very thinly insulated.

Now what do u's reckon.
Genuine better
or aftermarkt.

By the way the cost $340
ouch

Don't know, but from past experience with overhead cam engines i'd say they would have been 200 plus.
