recently my check engine light came on.. the 4runner drives fine but lacked power.. i took it in and they said it was misfiring on a cylinder.. what could be the cause of this?

 

if they gave you the code that it was throwing that might help

 

actually it isnt mine yet.. i should have the code tommarow, the 4runner has 146,000 miles is basically mint shape otherwise considering it is 12 years old... he is asking 2700.00 for it and is negotiable.. should i snatch it up at this price and fix it even in a worse case scenerio?? its pretty much loaded ..limted sr5

 

here are some pics

 

code 24 or 25, something to do about the exhaust being to rich with fuel

 

For 2700 you should definitely buy it. It might just be the O2 sensor which can cause a code 25 or a myriad of other things but, it's most likely a minor issue anyways. I'd be all over that truck for 2700 bucks! Where do you live?

 

My 1992 cost 4,000 and it's not a limited. I'd buy that one for $2,700 and just fix it. Even if you had to spend some money on it, it would still be a great deal.
