	Well the car is make a slight "put put put" noise whilst idling, so i opened up the hood to have a look. 
 
It is a 4 cyl 1.8 l 4S-FE DOHC engine, and when i press down on plugs 2 and 3, i can feel it "putting", so i pulled out the leads, and put them back, and still no difference.... 
 
There is no evidence of this trait on plugs 1 and 4, just 2 and 3...  
 
the leads are only about 10k old, and the plugs are about the same. I will change the plugs soon. 
 
Anyone know what's going on? 
 
cheers
