I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the help!

And another

I like the way you think, TheDurk, and I appreciate your help. Here are the plugs I took out of it. They are about 3 years old with probably 20k-ish miles.

Thanks, Wally. I did really lace the plugs about 3 years ago. But perhaps as a last resort it may be worth doing again.

Hey All - I've been having some intermittent misfire issues that seem to be worse at low rpm. I went to get the codes read today and had: P0300 - multiple cylinder misfire P0305 - cylinder 5 misfire P0306 - cylinder 6 misfire P0135 - bank 1 sensor 1 malfunction (o2 sensor) P0141 - bank 1 sensor...

**Update** With the condensation information provided by MOYotas and reelamin, I fired up the 4runner today and drove it around the block until I got to operating temp. I drove around a little longer and temp was holding steady. After the drive, no more tanish substance under the oil cap and...

Will do. I haven't done any recent work. Last tune up was waaay too long ago. I replaced the plugs and ignition wires back in 2012. Besides that it's only been oil changes and air filter replacements. I appreciate everyone's help.

Man... that would be awesome if that's all it is. I did get a CEL light. The car felt like it was misfiring a bit. During that instance i drove the car about 2 miles before getting back to my drive way and parking it.

It was. There a a small amount of white smoke at idle on first start. It was also smoking from the engine bay slightly and there was a burnt oil smell to it. I should also add, there is quite a bit of black oil towards the back of the engine that had dripped down to the bottom of the...

Yup. It is an auto. The auto transmission fluid on the dipstick looks normal. Here are some pictures of what I'ms eeing under the radiator cap and oil cap.

Hey All Hope everyone had a merry Christmas. So the family and I hopped in the 4runner a couple days ago. I noticed a rough idle and as we got down the road, the shaking got even worse. Took it back to the driveway, parked it, and left in a different car. The next morning I noticed a pool of...

To anyone who has the problem in the future, the problem was the spark plug wires were ran incorrectly. The correct patch is cylinder 5 to 2 cylinder 3 to 6 cylinder 1 to 4

Here's my sad embarassing story: I replaced my valve cover gasket (passenger side), replaced the spark plugs, plug wires and PCV. In doing so I also used new gaskets for the throttle body and air intake. I went to start the car up and it will start but smells like gas...it's horrendously...
