There's really no other way to explain what the truck is doing. 99 model v6. While driving down the road going over 50 it randomly bucks. Feels like a fuel issue, but I'm not sure. I changed the filter and the pump. Pressure is good. Injectors? I really don't want it to be that. I've also had...

Only sometimes...

I hate effing duck faces. I'm not sure why females think it makes them look attractive...I'd like to high five the chick that started it...in the face...with a hammer...

Well apparently they didn't put it back...oh well..

What is this piece? It is missing on mine. I'm going to eventually replace the entire front bumper. I'm just wondering what the heck this is?

LOL. One of the guys kept referring to me as "him" and "he"....For sure a lady. I don't think anyone's ever mistaken me for a guy....I hope..

Fightman suggested I add a pic of me with the runner to clear up and "gender identity" issues. Well it poured rain today so I couldn't get a pic. BUT here it goes. Completely stock now, but I'd love to do some work to it. After seeing everyone's pics I'm jealous I must admit. And this is me.

Soooo. The "mechanic" friend that looked at it yesterday said the plugs and wires were fine. Well I decided I'd take a look at it myself. When I pulled off cylinder 4 wire it fell apart completely.(pretty sure that's not a "good" wire) The boot came off of the wire. So I decided to swap all the...

Lol. I guess so. How long did it take you to tear it down? I might be able to do it this weekend if I can get enough daylight after work. I'll work on the gender issue..

I'm not saying he should throw parts at it, but simply taking things apart, and swapping one injector with another one from a different location, will cost him nothing, and is a sure fire way to find the culprit. When I did so, it went from a Cylinder 1 misfire to I believe cylinder 5 (which...

I took it to a mechanic friend yesterday. He seemed to think it was the injector. I've got a guy that used to work at a Toyota dealership that I'm going to call today. He helped me with my tons of Camry issues last year. The only code it's pulling up is a cylinder 4 misfire. The tps code is...

I ordered an injector today along with the tps. After cleaning out the throttle body and resetting the engine light the code didn't come back up though. The throttle body had a LOT of nasty junk. The only thing I'm worried about at this point is driving the truck until I'm able to do the repairs...

I meant valve gasket not intake. Sorry I was distracted when typing the first post. I ordered the TPS from work. (parts store, discounts come in handy) I'm going to go ahead and replace that. But only one cylinder is misfiring. That's why I'm sort of stumped. I wish I could get to the fuel...

I bought my 99 4runner 3.4L a few months ago. I was aware of some obvious problems when I bought it. i.e. new brakes, new tires and a very small intake gasket leak. The first two issues have been addressed. I haven't replaced the intake gasket yet. Today I got in it to take my son to school and...
