Does that affect the SC300's too?

I don't think the 2JZGE has a dizzy? I haven't really taken notice though. My 1JZ doesn't have one, so it might have a similar set up as to what I have. What you could be suffering in these are expired plugs, or the connectors might've given up the ghost.

Yea I was just wondering. I took out my ignition coil when I was changing my plugs and its completely sealed (aka no metal to corrode or anything), and it looked absolutely fine

It's all good... how about the connectors themselves? They get brittle over time, that's what happened to mine.
