Engine Check Alert

[rnk11]

Hi,

I have 2000 LE and it has been giving engine check alert for last 30 days.., I went to local car mechanic and put car for test.., it is saying engine too lean .., local car mechanic is saying I need to change spark plug but when I discussed with toyota dealer, they are saying copper spark plug are good for 120k ..

I have driven 40k so far ....

Thanks

COPPER spark plugs? Those are only good for 10,000 miles, give or take... they don't even last as long as regular old spark plugs at 30,000 mi. Platinums are good for anywhere between 60,000 and 100,000 mi, and Iridium plugs are good for 100,000 mi.

toyota plugs are good for 60.000 miles . copies only good for 20.000 miles.

Iridium plugs are cheap now . i'd opt for those.
