Re: ignition coil problems
Thats not a big problem. You can fix that by inspecting if its not grounded. Maybe just replace it.

Re: ignition coil problems
Toyota coils can fail without technically failing. They can pass the usual resistance tests yet still fail. Why? They can produce a spark, but isn't hot enough to fully ignite the air/fuel mixture. Your plugs are likely fouled due to the incomplete burn caused by a weak coil. Despite this, I'd highly suggest replacing with another Toyota coil because the aftermarket ones don't last very long and they typically do not come with a warranty.
Hope this helps!
