I had the same problem with my 2000, I'd check wires, plugs, and temp coolant sensor first, they are the cheapest to replace and easiest to diagnose. Check that before you get into coil packs and injectors. Don't know if your year specifies dual electrodes or not but mine does and the previous...

Welcome to Virginia, I live just north of Roanoke, thank you for your service, prior military myself. What branch are you in?

I just recently replaced my timing belt and water pump, I put in just whatever coolant they had, did not know anything of "Toyota Red" just mixed 50/50. Evidently got lucky on jiggle valve cause I just put it in and temp doesn't get above 190 deg, but I have gotten the wrong rated t-stat, or...

Ok so since last post, I've replaced the coolant temperature sensor, and ditched the Autolite spark plugs with the NGK's, took on a test drive and no issues what so ever, drives and idles, acceleration, and response is incredible, have never seen this thing run so well. Will update is it starts...

Mine is an automatic so what does that mean?

Ok this is the part in question anyone know what it is?

Nope thats mounted under throttle body with two coolant hoses and another hose on bottom, this hose is pushed on from top down prob 1/8-1/4" hose, good thing is I think I eliminated all the fuel injection system and lies in the vacuum system somewhere, I mean I have a good vacuum just don't know...

Ok so little confusing on last couple posts, sorry was 2 am or so, yes I do not have an egr valve after closer look in book it was describing checking egr on 4cyl engine. Will post pic when I get home, site will not let me upload from my phone. I went to advance auto (for what that's worth) and...

Belay my last, so going through shop manual said to check egr, said if you hook up vacuum pump should idle rough or stall, so I was going to use intake manifold to test this theory, when I disconnect the small hose from the side of the component mounted under the throttle position sensor, idle...

School is out!!!!!!!! Found the F'ing problem!!!! Bad EGR valve SMDH!!!!

No just have single cat, also did vacuum test pulling steady 19.5 inHg according to specs that healthy as well, coolant sensor at 180deg reading 331ohm looking at egr now prob def get wires bout only thing left

And also read #1 and #2 O2 are not interchangeable, are the sensors with the given numbers in the correct spot?

Ok compression test completed #1- 200 psi no drop. #2- 198 psi no drop #3- 200 psi no drop. #4- 190 psi no drop #5- 203 psi no drop. #6- 205 psi no drop Spark plugs are: Autolite premium 5mm silicone suppression cable SAE Class E... Any good?... O2 sensor status: #1...

Spark plugs don't have any color at all they are brand new dual NGK's. thanks for info on live data, will be checking compression later tonight, also checking brand of O2 sensors, plug wires, and then do test drive to check live data. Those live code readers are a must have for this type of...

I do have a live time code reader what should I be looking for?
