had the same problem when I first got my runner. check engine would come on and it would run super rough. Ended up being the knock sensor. Might want to look into that....

You can scan it yourself with a paper clip.Jump the service connection by the fuse block under the hood. There is a tag that shows which pins to jump. Tnen turn the key on and count the short and long flashes on the dash.Search the post on how to do it.
