well the check engine light came back on so i pulled the code and its code 25 fuel mixture lean so i will start searching for vacuum leaks but took it out wheelin a few days ago went through the creek and really bogged down for about 30 seconds finally what power i do have came back but still a fun little trail

 

V6, 5speed... In no way should be getting that.

And on the price, y'all won't get a broke down POS for that around here. Ppl are STUPID and act like they've never seen how much they're paying for gas...

Look, a barely running rust bucket 4WD is in my opinion worth $1,500.

So would you like the refinement, the epic 4WD of a Toyota, the smooth ride of the coils, and seating for four, for $2,000 extra dollars?

I think I would...

 

isn't code 25 the O2 sensor?

 

pretty sure 25 is fuel mixture lean which could explain my poor mileage lack of power and stuttering

 

well looking at the engine one night dont know why but me and a buddy were just lookin at it and he noticed a small spark coming from the engine looked down and the cylinder closest to the firewall on the drivers side bank, the plug wire was arcing off of the block so we push it back on but the wire is shot so im replacing that tomorrow but that wouldnt throw a lean code would it?

 

I had a code 25 on mine and replaced the o2 sensor and it solved the problem

 

did you replace both or just one? im pretty sure i saw 2 but i could be wrong

 

I always do a complete tune up including belts, hoses, plugs,wires, all fluids. Use NGK or Denso plugs. Toyotas dont likethe common plugs that are available. Run some Seafoam through it and there is alot of info on Seafoam here. I had a 3.0 5speed and was very happy with it. I had plenty of power, the auto is a little slow, I have the 22re and the 3.0 beats it. These arent power houses, but they will run forever if taken care of and really dependable. But as with all used cars it, it will cost a little up front, but well worth it in the long run. Good luck and keep us posted.
