Strange things happen when a timing chain breaks. This chain drives the camshaft at exactly half the speed of the crankshaft. If the chain breaks it could jam the crankshaft so that the engine can't turn, even by hand. If the engine does turn and the chain is broken, you will hear an uneven cranking sound coming from the engine.
What usually happens is that one or two cylinders end up with all valves closed, and this causes a high compression as the engine is turned by the starter. The valves on the other cylinders remain open all the time and there will be no compression on these., so the engine sounds as if it is turning fast, then slow in very quick succession.
It often happens that, because the timing is out for the short while that the engine turns without the timing chain, the valve timing is out by so much that the pistons strike the valves and bend them, so that there is no compression whatsoever, and when you crank the engine with the starter, the engine just spins freely. In any case, whatever the symptoms, the engine will not start!

Plugs

Changing the spark plugs is a pretty easy task. The spark plugs run along both sides of the engine, 1 per cylinder. (3 on each side) You can easily identify them by the plug wires running to them from the distributor. Pop off each plug wire, (1 at a time) and replace the spark plug. Once you have replaced the plug, replace the plug wire. This ensures that you dont mess up the sequence of the wires which determines which cylinder fires at what time in the cycle. VERY important not to mess up the sequence. If you should happen to get the wires mixed up, look online for the firing sequence for your vehicle and engine.

2006 Toyota Tacoma Low Mileage or Not...Spark Plug Life

24 mpg on the highway is actually pretty good for that truck. at 48000 miles and being 3 years old its time for plugs, air filter, and fuel filter if available. thats cheap maintenance for now. but if very self conscious, run some fuel injector cleaner first, then change the plugs, because any octane booster or fuel injector cleaner can run the risk of fouling out a plug, by creating a hotter spark then what, normal gas does. the burn is hotter.
