I never understand why people don't follow up. It really helps others with issues see that there was a fix that worked. I got an Echlin one NAPA. I'm sure I'll catch some heat for not using oem, but I couldn't find one in the area and I wanted to get one in sooner rather than later. I plan on...

Problem Solved! Just wanted to let everyone know that with some behind the scenes help from Buckaroo, I was able to diagnose and fix the problem with my Runner. The issue was indeed a faulty fuel injector in my 6 cylinder. When I got everything all taken apart the engine was still pretty warm...

Alright. Little update. So this morning I went out bright and early and did a coil swap and pulled/inspected/reset all my plugs (I didn't swap any plugs at this time). Everything looked good visually. Car started great and I there were no codes. However, I knew this issue was only present after...

I’ll give it a try tomorrow and report. Thanks for your help.

I used NGK Nickel Spark Plug (BKR5EKB-11). I found them in the main spark plug change thread on here.

NGK plugs and wires (the blue ones). Tightening the plugs is the main reason I’m worried I did then improperly. I think I maybe have overtihtened them. I didn’t use a torque wrench and I fear I may have done some of them too tight.

The plugs were one of the first major thing I did on my vehicle, or any vehicle for that matter. The issue wasn’t present until after I did the plugs, although it was a week or two after that the problem began. I’m just thinking maybe I did something wrong installing them (over tightened, messed...

Thank you for helping me out here. I’ve done the fuel filter, as well as the plugs and wires. The fuel filter I’m confident I did properly, the plugs not so much. So, I guess that would be the best place to start? Just to update a little, when I went to work today the CEL was still on but no...

So I got my code reader and below is what it showed: P0306 P0306(right next to this one was what looked like a p and d but they weren’t letters, more like symbols) Mil off Monitrs 1 inc Catalyst 6 ready Misfire Fuel Comp Evap 02 snsr 02 htr I did a quick search and it’s not looking good...

Following the advice from the previous poster, I ordered a code reader and have it waiting for pickup after I get off work. Unfortunately, the Advance Auto Parts in my area doesn't do code reading any more. I asked when I first got the vehicle and they said they stopped about a year ago. The...

Actually, I think I'm just going to go with the scanner you suggested. It's available at my local auto store so I can grab it today and maybe get some clarification on this issue.

I appreciate the response. With all that in mind, I think my next step should be to get a code scanner as well as the Haynes manual. I had originally had my eye on the UltraGuage that they suggest in the Gen 3 guide. My question is: does the UltraGuage read codes the same/as well as the one you...

I definitely plan on grabbing one of these soon. However, when we checked it for codes the first time it came up, nothing showed. Might have to grab one for myself so I can test it again. How easy was replacing the fuel injector? (as my post referenced, I don't have too much experience working...

Vehicle is a 2000 Limited. Auto. 115k miles. I bought it about a month and a half ago. In great condition. Recently had TB/WP change, as well as radiator change. Since I’ve owned it I’ve cleaned the MAF/TB, changed the fuel filter, plugs/wires, and other minor things. About a week and a half...

Picked one up a few weeks back. Sorry man! Good luck!
