Default changing spark plugs, anything else?

I'm going to change the spark plugs on my 95 ES. It has 180K miles and I was wondering what else I should do while I'm changing the plugs. I understand there are no spark plug wires on this car, but are there 3 ignition coils or 6? Do these ever need to be replaced? What about the ignition coil wires? Thanks a lot.

wires and ignition coil should be fine unless there is no spark.

Cool

It depends on how youre gonna do it. If youre gonna remove the intake plenum change your valve cover gaskets cuz with 180K they are probably leaking, and adjust your valves. Ive got this planned on my 92.

And yes NGK or NipponDenso only please. Bosch Platinums are made for Volkswagens, Autolites are made for GM/Ford garbage, and Densos are for Toyotas
