Yes, lesson learned. Do the easy things first. Thanks again guys for all your help!

Long story short, it was a bad fuel injector on cylinder 2. The tricky part was that it sounded like the other injectors and when checking it with a meter, the ohms and voltage were right. It was when he switched that fuel injector from cylinder 2 to 1, cylinder 1 was misfiring and cylinder 2...

true, instead of removing the gasket to see if it’s bad, I can do a test. I’ll go to autozone to get the kit and do that first. Hopefully it changes color. But would a bad gasket cause the spark plug to be that dark? And I have not replaced the wires going to the ignition coil. I did test the...

So as I have mentioned, I put new spark plugs last week. As you can see on the first two pictures, that’s spark plug on cylinder 2, where the misfire is occurring. The white top part is very dark. There was No oil though. Spark plugs for cylinder 1 and 3 are pictures 3 and 4 and they look fine...

Brought the truck from the dealer to my house, perhaps a 15 minute drive and engine light is off. No issues. So the problem is intermittently and is not bad enough where I can’t drive it at all. I’m thinking if it’s a bad gasket around cylinder 2..

I don’t recall the spark plug being fouled with oil. Some of them did have some carbon build up, but I don’t recall spark plug on cylinder 2 having oil, perhaps alittle but oil, should have taken a picture.. I can take a picture of the current spark plug on cylinder 2 to see if it has oil. It...

This is what they said

So I got the answer and they told me I have a leak on the crankshaft so it’s better off getting a new short block. Toyota quoted me $9200. I got the truck for $9000. I might get a second opinion. One place is telling me a leak on the crankshaft and another one an electrical problem.

Thank you, I will. I’m thinking about getting myself a short finder, like the ECT2000 to diagnose short or open circuits in case toyota dealer gives up or take it to an automotive that specializes in automotive electrical. Toyota has had my truck since Friday.

Your right. Now I have to be patient

So I did alittle bit of investigating. Through the carfax report, I called the place the last time the truck was serviced, which was May 1, and they said the truck is good, everything with engine performance runs well, and they confirmed an electrical problem is causing the misfire, but they...

Sorry! I meant to say 2.7 inline 4. I don’t know much about trucks lol. And I changed the spark plugs, and ignition coils, plus the oxygen sensors and still have the misfire on cylinder 2

Hey all, I’m new to the Tacoma world. I finally purchased my own Tacoma. A 2007 v4 with 180,000 miles. Has had only one owner the whole time. The guy took it to get maintenance every 4 months, did a car fax report to confirm it. Purchased it a month ago and about 2 weeks ago the engine light...
