engine miss

I noticed no asked about the mas air flow?? Have you had it checked? It is real simple, if you get a pin hole leak in the intake or a loose clamp it will not read properly. I actaully bought truck dirt cheap because of that. You can hold the gas pedal down @ about 1000- 1800 rpms with a very hard miss in the motor. easy way to check is to spray starting fluid around the intake if rpms speed up you have a leak. Do you have cruise control????

As for toyota dealers most are not that smart, if a computer can't tell them what is wrong thay can not figure it out. No offense to the real techs out there.

try that if that does not work let me know.

[QUOTE=rezrunner92;1024580]WOW. I wish I had one customer a week who thought and felt this way. Usually I get a lot of them that "think" they know about cars. Those are the worst, they nickel and dime you to death and don't understand that all the mechanic wants is to put out good work. It really makes my day when I get a customer who actually knows a little about their vehicle and wants it CORRECT not just cheap. I hate it when people skimp on parts and then complain about the quality of the work.



i second that!!! by the way rezrunner92, are you a dealer tech? what dealer? if you dont want to post it, pm me. im in kc.

wow that sucks and I know where you are coming from. I have had a LCE
22re motor in my truck about 2 years and while it makes impressive power it has a elusive miss and engine codes that I contribute to a wiring problem. I stopped screwing with it for now so I can get back to modding the suspension
but it bugs the $h1T outta me. Some time inthe future I will start digging into
the wiring harness and FSM troubleshooting.

Agreed. We would charge one h our, probably get a result. I'm the new guy at our dealership! And that at 18+ years.

it might of be a vacuum line that may be miss place wrong.. if you can, take some picture around your vaccum are and post it. I accidently miss place my vacuum line from the egr through the front of this thing that have a filter that is locate in front of the timming cover and it miss like you said... so I lookup the problem is that it need to go through the vsv solenoid then to the egr. The hood should have a sticker that show the diagram of the vacuum line goes.
