I had that same hesitation at the same speed when I first got my '93 LS, tried Seafoam in the motor and gas tank but still hesitated...figured it was a misfire so I replaced the plugs and wires and it fixed the problem...hope this helps

Yes she'll run like a burrito is in the tailpipe if you use 87, use 91 and shell be happy.
Make sure the timing belt was done around 190k mileage, if they haven't been done the spark plugs, and water pump should be replaced while your in their too. Like Joe said the fuel treatment for your injectors does good too, I'd save sea foam for last if I were you. Errr run synthetic oil like mobil-1, and pay attention to any noise the car may be making. These cars have a habit of warning you when something is due to be changed way ahead of time if you turn down the music every once In awhile.

WTF take it back and demand your cash back.
The plugs are all the same from what I know on 1UZ's. Talking about giving the engine a refresh though, I'd also say to change all the seals, gaskets and hoses as well.

I bet they probably forgot to connect a hose that was removed when doing the job. Always speak to the service manager if you are not getting any results from the advisor.

Did you take the car in for a full tune-up with plugs,wires,cap and rotor, or drop it off for just spark plugs. If you dropped it off for a full tune-up with everything it doesn't matter if they messed up a plug wires. It was going to be replaced anyway. Ether way your car should come out running the same or better. I wouldn't put Carquest and Napa parts on my Lexus. OEM is the only way to go IMO.
