    I don't see a reason... I have a hard time missing trees with my mirrors...

    Thanks. I like to think I bought 1/2 a new truck…..it just had a new chassis installed from the local dealer….LOL.

    I've been away from Toyota for about 10 years (with a Land Rover) however I've had one pickup before and a few old Land Cruiser's.

    When was the last time you changed your plugs?

    Do the 1GR's have 3 coils and 3 wires like the older v6 engines? or are they all coil over plug?

    Is it throwing codes or is it just huccuping?

    Hopefully it's throwing codes. That makes diagnoses SOOOO much easier.

    I would start by replacing your plugs. Check them out, they're probably corroded. The ground electrode is probably all shrivled up and dying, the gap is probably off too. Replace them, clear the codes and if it comes back as P0302, start changing coils around. Make sure you keep track of where they're going though.

    Number them 1 through 6 (as per cylinder) and then move 1>2, 2>3, 3>4, 4>5, 5>6, 6>1. If you then get p0303, you're looking at a coil. Replace coil, problem solved.

    Not sure. I ordered them around midnight. I'm sure I'll get a shipped email today at some point and then I'll be able to get to work hacking up the console getting high on fiber glass.

    6 months to a year I'm thinking.
