Well played sir....well played. Since it wasn't a HG i think i win, but whatevs.:hatsoff: Yes fozzie.....something had to be done asap. Not concerned with the stereo, because this will be my wife's car and that is not of great importance for her. No navigation either, as our cellphones work...

The end of the saga...... So....here it is. The end of a very long journey. My truck is gone. Took my 4runner into my guy after it threw the check engine light again. After 2 days of checking it out, he said he believed it to be a ring issue on the #5 piston. i then took it to another shop...

Well....i don't really have any ideas of what you should get, other than a highlander (wife and her dad both have 1, 2006 and 2012----super nice), but i will be getting rid of mine in a few months for either a 2015 or 2016 Tacoma. Need a bed for my General contracting business, but want...

Ok. But i don't want anything in return if i win.

Considering i will trade it in in the next few months negates that bet. I will either be purchasing a current year Tacoma, or a 2016 when it comes out around August. Need a pickup for my general contracting business.

Damn man....what is up with all those negative waves?! =)

It is a BG product that is put through the engine. I have had it done on past vehicles, and it works. It is not seafoam that he put in, although he does recommend it as a gas treatment from time to time. Either way, it seems to have worked for now, and he did not charge new for the labor of...

I am not an expert either. Like someone mentioned above, my guy said seafoam in the gas and revving it every once in a while will keep the deposits down. He did 2 induction cleanings and let me tell you, the car feels brand new! Appears as though it is fixed. Total bill with all the...

So update on my update. The coil was replaced with an OEM part. My guy started it up today and it started running rough. He immediately shut off the engine, did a compression check, and said I was down 20-ish psi. He said he looked into the bore and noticed a ton of carbon buildup, which is...

You and me both brother.

It was your positive vibs that did it! :lol: Yeah....it just sucks that I now had to pay labor fees for something so simple, but I dont mind it as this guy worked on my wifes old accord all day (literally 10 hours) trying to diagnose something and didnt charge me a dime. However, I am glad he...

Alrighty folks...so here is an update. My guy started it up this morning with a scanner attached. No codes other than the old one. He did a hydrocarbon test and also checked the compression....NO ISSUES! He believes, since nothing is showing up in the diagnostics that the coil I bought from...

So....started it up late last night to drive it to my guys shop. Started with no issues and ran like a champ! What the F---is going on already?!

Thanks goat. I swear it knows i have been drooling over the new Tacoma! Even my guy thinks that it isn't the headgasket.

My guy will find out what is wrong, but i still don't think it is a headgasket. No discolored oil, no use of coolant, no "super clean" sparkplugs, etc. I think at this point it is a fuel delivery problem. Oh well. Dropping it off tonight. The guy i take my truck to when things are past my...
