Mis-fire

[netsfan549]

I took my car to autozone, and they said I have misfire. Duralast cost 51$, but my dad says to buy Jap.. spark plugs wire, since car is Jap... Is it worth it? what's best japanese spark plugs out there? my dad says ING

I think your dad is referring to buying directly from Toyota, instead of Auto Zone parts. Which is generally a good idea.

Wouldnt it cost more though?? he said he bought ING at Strauss so I dont have clue.. let me know thanks

OEM Toyota parts are alot more expensive, but are usually much higher quality, and are meant for your car.

No, that might not be the problem. I didn't see what vehicle you have, but depending on the year, it could be a coil pack, plug wire, fuel injector, etc.
I will tell you that working on Toyotas all day, alot of the time that we get a misfire problem on older Camry's, it's due to someone putting in aftermarket plugs that Toyotas really don't like.

NGK or Denso spark plugs will work just fine, and yes, ordering straight from toyota is way better than getting parts from Napa, AutoZone, etc. I only buy my parts from toyota, except i do it all myself.
