Okay thanks if you are reading this.

2010 4Runner, 4.0 v6 232,000 miles


I thought I had a transmission issue. I kept getting what felt like slipping when shifting from 3 to 4 or 2 to 3. After a while I had a issue come up where it turned out i had some misfiring going on. Cylinders 1 3 and 5 with check engine light on and running very rough.

I had the spark plugs and coils changed and it ran fine again. Now i am getting cylinder 5 codes that come up every once in a while. If the code comes up and i am getting misfired I unplug the coil and fuel injectors reset the code and it comes back to life.

Today however I reset the code and it seems to be more persistent, I have tried multiple coils. Not sure what to do at this point. Looking for help! not sure what else to do at this point. I was told by one mechanic it could be the timing chain.
