Ok, so I ordered a coil so I would have a known good test coil. It tested 1 Ohm of resistance, checked all of the other coils which had the exact readings and found one with .7 Ohms resistance and replaced that coil. Engine starts immediately now but the sputter at 3500+/- RPM still exists. I...

Congrats!

All great suggestions, thank you... going to google how to test the coils now. Will report back my findings in a day or two.

1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4, 160,000 miles. This issue became apparent when I encountered a vehicle doing 45mph in a 70 mph zone. I pretty much floored it to get around them and the engine "choked, stuttered, stumbled" until I backed off the gas. Meanwhile I have performed some long overdue...

Make sure you move the camshaft sensor and wires or at least be aware of them when you are heating.... would really suck to melt them. Also, when you replace the AC compressor bracket make sure you get the wire harness clip in the right place, from memory it is the bolt closest to the rear of...

Did that myself a few weeks ago... stripped the head on the rear hyd tensioner bolt. You are going to have to remove the ac compressor and bracket to get to the rear bolt. It's a pain the the arse but can be done. Autozone sells a replacement metric bolt but the head is 13mm instead of a 12...

Yeah if you look at your user name, it's like the 4th line down...

oops

Wait, there is something about reaching 15 posts... how many do you have?

Not sure... new here myself.

Did that a few weeks ago, rounded the head on the rear hydraulic tensioner bolt... ended up having to remove the AC compressor and bracket to get it out. Not fun.

I understand the rules, just hate to "spam" up a thread so I can participate in the forum. :) That being said, please disregard the next several posts.

The past 4 weeks I have gotten around to some overdue maintenance... Changed the timing belt, water pump, hyd tensioner and related bearings/idlers, flushed PS system, plugs and wires, cleaned throttle body, oil change.... I'm chasing down a mystery condition present before any of the...

Just flushed mine last week, make sure you remove the reservoir and clean the mesh screen.... mine was full of crud and you couldn't see light through it.

Did you change the transmission filter or just the fluid? Other than that suggestion I'm not going to be much help, sorry.
