    I have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma with a 2.7lt, it has a strange miss. I replaced the spark plugs and wires and that cured some of the miss. But it is still missing, this is my first toyota and I don't know that much about it. Is there something I am missing (no pun intented):D

    Make sure all the connectors are pluged in propperly, double check the condition of the wires. If its a little miss, or stumble, it could be normal, as My 2.7 would do that from time to time.
