Question quick question plz help

i have 1995 4runner with a 3.0 in it. the check engine light came on so i thought i would do the checks that i can oil, plugs, wires etc..well while pushing the plug wires on the cap i get a zap fron one of them. i replaced the wire that was zapping me and started the engine. now a different wire is zapping me..any ideas... maybe a ground wire or something...

Did you unhook your negative battery terminal?

If you are not experiencing driving problems then just unhook your negative cable from your battery and it will clear the the check engine light. If you do have a problem then the light will come back on.

NM4Runner,

I would definately replace all of the wires. And, of course reset the CE light by disconnecting the - terminal.

So, when are we NM guys going to get together??? I now know of 6 of us in the ALB SF area. Lets get together!
