So I threw some SeaFoam through the gas tank and light gone again, for how long who knows. Am going to throw some through the with the oil before the change. Open to any suggestions. Trying out a new mechanic in the area. I have this weird rubber burning smell that we can't pinpoint on the...

Been having issues with the CEL P0303 over last year plus. Additionally now have some type of rubber burning smell happening. Suspecting a belt however i had the timing belt changed back a couple years ago. My previous mechanic is a good guy, just not able to do the things I need done and the...

yes, it originally had keyless entry and security system, no blue light though, that must be from the aftermarket. There is a link on this site to the manual. I have a '97 Limited and originaly used the factory system until I had a Viper system installed for remote start.

Ok, so last year I posted after having issues pointing to the same code/s. Last year after throwing through some injector cleaner a couple times it seemed to clear up (or I actually considered that maybe I just burned out the CEL LOL). So fast forward a year and its back. I'm on bottle two...

We did the coil swap and the codes didn't change. I'm thinking now that the additional codes after changing plugs/wires (started with just the one 0303) are from the incorrect plugs. So changing to correct ones still leaves me with the initial cylinder 3 misfire issue. Clean the MAF was also...

The "bad gas" comment got me thinking. I log my gas and service back for years. Including where I buy it for the most part. Looking back when the initial drop in mpg slowly started I didn't find anything other than my regular one or two stations HOWEVER I noticed when pulling the repair logs in...

I can change out the plugs/wires again but the important thing I'm trying to get across is that I had the issue PRIOR to putting these incorrect plugs in. And like I stated, it's not running like crap. If the light wasn't on I wouldn't know anything is wrong except that my mpg went down. The...

Code from initial reading at auto parts store and mechanic: P0303 From emissions failure: P0300, 0302, 0303, 0304 and "visual MH light check failure: the MH light on your vehicle remains lit with the engine running" (I don't see any light except CEL unless that's what they're talking about)...

New poster, longtime lurker ;) 1997 4runner ltd currently 145k. I've had it since 2002 and 40k. CEL cylinder 3 misfire code about a month ago, drop from 18 to 14 mpg, no noticeable running issues. Went to O'Reillys got NGK plugs and new wires (was due). Trusted mechanic (TM) replaced...
