What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

673-1304

 

That one shows up as the coil pack for 2000-2004 tacomas

 

They're not the same?

 

Not as far as I know

 

Doesn't that have a distributor, not coil packs?

 

Yessir

 

Cool, thought so. Which was first year of coil packs for the 3RZ? 1998?

 

hit or miss then. Transition year and all.

 

I see. You'd have to go off the date on the manufacturing/VIN plate then to be certain. Or look at the engine, lol.

 

yea popping the hood will make it pretty obvious haha

 

Well good to know, part number on the distributor? Is the misfire possibly coming from a faulty distributor?

 

It could if the cap has worn contacts or the rotor has a dead spot.

 

Could be, there are a handful of things typically attributed to a misfire.

 

Generally speaking, on a misfire you'd typically check/replace the plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and/or rotor, etc.

 

So I don't necessarily have to replace the entire distributor, just the cap and rotor?

 

Correct.

 

That's a good place to start, the cap and rotor are maintenance items.

 

Question for those that have ordered replacement clips for the fenders... I found them on camelback for over $1 each... they have bulk packs on eBay and a kit on Amazon with the correct amount for $15, but for second gen trucks. Does anyone know if they changed these clips? I know there are 2 types, blue and red. I need 18 red and 8 blue. I may just order the bulk packs on eBay, but thought I'd check in first. Thanks.

 

It'd be a lot cheaper than replacing the whole damn thing haha thanks guys.
