Well that didn't last long.... Today I drove it with the OD locked out and it was back to missing. I still wonder what was responsible for that unusual change that lasted for days the first time I locked it out of OD and it ran great. When the mechanic checked it last time, it was giving a #2...

It misses in all gears, even at idle with OD engaged I could see the problem more clearly if the car only missed when it was actually operating in overdrive gear. The confusing thing here is that whenever the OD is engaged, the injector stops working completely, no matter what gear the car is...

Hi all, I recently posted about one of the injectors going bad in my 1998 4Runner. However things have taken an interesting turn. On the way to work last week, I decided to try pushing the little button on the shifter to lock it out of overdrive, just so it would at least not lug too badly on...

I already pulled off the intake last year to replace the valve cover gaskets. I know it's not hard, but I unfortunately don't have the time to do it myself right now. But let's say I replace one injector and another goes out down the road (which is why I asked in my original post how often they...

The reason I was going to change them all is because it's like $250 labor to pop off the plenum just to get at the injectors. I may as well do them all instead of paying $250 the next time one goes bad. 233k miles, so it could happen again I guess.

can I use 1999 injectors if I'm replacing them all? I see that Toyota changed injectors from the 1998 to 1999 models. If I plan to replace them all, does it matter if I use injectors for the 1999 models? Would there be any difference / advantage to this? Can anyone recommend a reputable U.S...

it drove fine on the 15 minute drive to work today! Today on the way to work, it drove fine, with no miss. Although the amber check engine light stayed on the whole time and is on continuously lately. Would a bad injector routinely come and go like that?

Will 1999 injectors even work in my 1998? When I look around for them, it seems the 98 and 99 injectors are different.

Hello all (and thank you to admin for allowing me to post right off!) I've owned a 1998 (mfg date 10/97) 4Runner since 2000, and have put about 200k of the current 233k miles on it. It has been nothing short of a pleasure to own and drive. However, the injector in cylinder #2 appears to have...
