I think it was time. (1 Viewer)

I had been experiencing some shuddering during acceleration lately, and read that it could be caused by bad spark plugs/wires/distributor cap, so I decided to pull the old plugs and put some new ones in. You can see the clean new one, and see that it may have been time to do this. The number 6 plug can be tough to get, but get a 6in wobble extension and it makes it far easier. After this work the engine sounds completely different, there is almost no gasoline smell on the exhaust and everything is glassy smooth. Just figured I would throw it out there in case people had a similar problem that they had been fighting with.

Looks like they started to melt and open the gap up.. mine looked the same. I went a 1 cold range lower for the supercharger too

The tool kit supplied by Toyota has a tube and a stick you can use to get the #6 spark plug out with no drama.
