Hey guys, Something weird happened over the long weekend. In heavy stop-and-go city traffic, my '99 4R stalled a couple times while stopped and idling. It similar to when you stall a stick shift, but the shudder/jump was very minor and barely noticable. Any idea what might cause this? Here's...

Ahhhh F#&*! I'm back down to 15-16mpg after 2 weeks. Any other things I should check out? Air filter's clean, tires are properly inflated, Yakima ski racks removed. I had consistent 19-20mpg from June-December, and the winter here is mild (50-60s) This is killing my gas budget! My 99 Tacoma...

Thanks for all your help and suggestions guys. My airfilter was NASTY. It had been changed in July last year (12000 miles ago). As soon as I bought replacement generic FRAM filter from Kragen, my mileage was back up to around 19-20MPG

Thanks for the filter suggestion. I'll look at the True Flow and K&N filters. I run 87 gas. I bought the truck on Craigslist from an elderly couple (one-owner car, full records, excellent maintenance, 106k miles)

Hi everyone. I'm new here, having recently bought a '99 4R sport edition 4x4. (I like the 99s since my 4x4 Taco TRD from the same year is on 205k miles w/ regular maintenance). The truck had 103k miles on it and I put on 7k miles in 3 months. The previous owners had it since new and they babied...

My '99 Taco had the check engine light come on at 180k miles. Had it checked at the stealer and they told me the Cat converter was toast (and quoted me $800) I got it fixed at a muffler shp for $200.
