    Well everyone almost three days later and no issues whatsoever. The 4Runner is running smoothly. So a bad coil injector and a set of factory specified spark plugs and I'm running great. All issues such as rough idle, hard starts and more is all gone. I was worried at first from different reads...

    NP, it's a simple job as long as everything goes as planned but as with anything anything is possible to go wrong or break lol - hopefully not. The plugs I changed out today I did in the AutoZone parking lot in 30 mins and that's how easy it is. A newer 2010 - 2015 4Runner or possible Honda...

    When I purchased the plugs the first thing I did while inside the store in front of the store clerk is check the gaps on the plugs. They measured right at about 42-43. I'm pretty sure from the manual Toyota sets the factory plug gaps at 43 but the manual states...

    Engine woes and the all-too-obvious fix

    I had two Land Rovers previously. The older Land Rover I had recommended Bosch and the second newest Land Rover I previously had as well recommended NGK. Btw as posted in the thread I started I changed the Bosch plugs out and went back to NGK's. Instead of going with the NGK Iridiums I went...

    As stated already I read your write up about your issues. I went just now on my break and purchased one of the two factory specified plugs which are the NGK 7787's. It started up fine and everything went great - I pray to God this fixed it. I have heard on many accounts previously to not use...

    I'm praying to God it's not the head gasket because I'll drive it off a cliff if that's the case lol. I totally do not want to deal with that or look forward to dealing with that lol.

    Just got back from the AutoZone and changed my plugs right in the parking lot in 30mins lol. The vehicle started up great and no issues so far - crossing my fingers this all helps. I went with one of the two factory specification plugs listed in the manual which were the NGK 7787's. I'll keep...

    So I'm thinking about just picking up the NGK7787 plugs at the local AutoZone who has them in stock. I would have went with Denso but I can't find them in stock locally. Toyota shows in the manual they came with and/or recommend either Denso K20HR-U11 or NGKFR6C11 (7787) plugs. I'd like to...

    Just read your write up and it's quite interesting. I originally had purchased NGK's but possibly the issue all along was the injection coil and not the NGK's. After pulling the NGK's out and swapping in the Bosch plugs it's possibly just running like s**t now because of the plugs being the...

    Well I thought I was good to go and this morning when I went to go to work the truck idled rough like it was about to kill out and it shacked a little bit. Almost like it was about to die out of gas or power - I've never in my life ran out of gas so I'm kind of going from what you see on TV...

    Well everyone since the post started the rough idle continued and out of nowhere the Check Engine light pops up this morning along with VSC Off and Trac VSC lights. From research it seems these two lights go off when the Check Engine light goes off as well. So just incase someone doesn't know I...

    Btw not sure if this helps figuring out a possible cause but like when I start the engine and I get the rough idle if I take the 4Runner from Park to Drive the rough idle goes away and the 4Runner sounds normal and if I shift back into Park the idle is no longer present. So shifting from Park to...

    Tomorrow with some daylight I'll take a look at these lines to figure out if they disconnected or slipped. Will let you know. Thanks

    New here and need some serious help

    To be honest I'm not sure if the hum is related in any way and most likely not in my opinion. I think the hum might just be the engine normal wise but I'm just frantically going insane over this idle crap lol. Is there a way to find out if a coil is bad or good? Yeah I'm not much of an...
