Misfire problem - advice needed please

[DaveM]

Hi, I have a Australian 2000 camry wagon. There is a very slight misfire when the the car is not working hard. e.g appears most noticeably when the engine is warm and is on flat or slight decline, with just a little throttle (1500 rpm or so) and in overdrive traveling at 60-80 kph.

I have changed Plugs and fuel filters so far. This has reduced the misfire but has not resolved it completely. Should I try the ignition leads next? Any suggestions would be welcome. It is a 6 cyl, Auto, 170,000 km

I have checked the ignition leads and they measure 14,16 & 18 k ohms respectively. Are these readings OK?

I was told to check/clean the MAF sensor and throttle bore. How do I do this?

Any advice most welcome

Kind Regards

David

Max resistance on plug leads is 25 k ohms- if more than this they need replacing. Coils are most likely your problem, you can measure the primary and secondary resistance to determine coil function.Specs depend on which coil you have?

Where are the coils located?
