I just recently purchased a 2001 T4R with high miles but a new transfer case and tranny... The truck has progressively shown more of a sputter and hesitation during acceleration the more I drive it. The dealer said that it didnt have this problem until he ran it out of gas. I am assuming that it is the fuel filter and will be changing that tomorrow. However I am not really sure what else it may be and any input or advice from other 3rd gen guys would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! This is my only vehicle and i have to get it running right as soon as possible.:hail:

i have read the codes. it has thrown a random misfire, cylinder 1 misfire and a cylinder 2 misfire. it also threw a camshaft posistioning sensor code but i cannot get the truck to repeat that code so all it is throwing is the misfires now. :sick:
 
Fixed the problem!!!!

So i fixed the problem!!!! apparently the 4Runner still had the stock plugs on the side with the coil packs!!!!!:vader:
