I had this for a few years and haven’t had any issues until a week ago I just drove down to the gas station every thing fine started it back up to leave after putting some gas in and motor started popping and sputtering so I limped it home and checked for any codes and there was none so I went ahead and replaced the spark plugs plug wires and cap and rotor started up drove fine until it reached operating temp then started popping and sputtering again so noticed a pattern it drives fine until motor is at temp and runs great in neutral and runs great in reverse only in forward gears does it start to pop and sputter to date I have replaced the plugs cap and rotor plug wires the maf the coil and the o2 sensor and the egr also checked timing looked good at 10 btdc and advanced with throttle also Checked for vacuum leaks everything checked out good and did a compression test all 6 cylinders all within 3 psi of each other all right at 140psi so I’m tired of just throwing parts at it and would like some help so it runs great no issue until it reaches operating temp then only in 1st-5th will it start to pop and sputter and no power, but it will run great in reverse and neutral no issue?

Also, if you have a single ignition coil they will often fail under load when they get hot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Live view of it I'll let you figure out how to do for now. A maybe reason is pump and I forget if this era of 4Runner used some "lifetime" idea of a fuel filter in fuel tank (never had the joy in person) to toss one just by chance now this is in the ancient club, Tom   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
