Is there a distributor on a Tundra? I know my VVT-i motor is coil-on-plug. I haven't really taken a close look, but I would think a distributor would be pointless, it just needs a crank sensor.

Most of the newer Toyotas do not have a distributor to cover. From a technician's standpoint (from problems I have seen) be careful not to use pressure around your spark plugs/plug wires. If this happens, it can cause severe misfires and could damage your cat. If you accidentally spray these areas and the engine runs rough, turn it off immediately! Then pull your plug wires from the plugs, and spray the plugs and boots with a brake cleaner to dissipate the water. I always spray the brake cleaner off with compressed air, as this aids in the drying process. Other than that, you should be fine.
