THa'ts nuts. Needwings.com has 12 OEM plugs for $87. The wire set is around $210 (back when I did it in 2016, it was $290 for all, so prices have not gone up much since then).
I have no clue how you could pay that much for 12 plugs.
I do not understand why people fight about changing plug wires, but want to change coil packs. You already abused those OLD wires by yanking them off the old plugs, they should be replaced, NOW. BEFORE you throw money at the car.
A bad vacuum leak can be one of the three vacuum hoses from the breathers to the throttle body, I suppose even the oil cap could be the problem, or maybe the EGR valve.
