    Forgive the newb question. What spark plugs are recommended for the 3.4L 5VZ-FE engine in a 1997 4Runner? My son just got one of these with high mileage and we're going to be doing a timing belt job on it soon as it appears to be 200K miles overdue. Want to replace the spark plugs while we're at it, but want to make sure to use ones that will work best for these vehicles. Thanks.

    Easy: get the NGK one that Toyota sells. They are very affordable and high quality

    Get the dual pronged plugs. At the parts store there will be single even four prongs listed. I burned all the prongs off a four prong plug.
