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

Poor garage is a mess now

 

I used a butter knife

 

So this is what I got. Any of ya had to deal with this?

 

It doesn't list what cylinders are misfiring? My T100 gets a pending code for that and cylinders 1,2 and 3 misfires.

 

A random miss is a bit more annoying

 

Nope. its odd for sure. found this googling. I fucking swear if I have to pull this motor again I might as well throw somthing in that will last.

How is it able to detect what cylinder is missing but not a random miss? Id have no clue I have a problem if I didn't have my Obd connected all the time.

 

Still searching and came across another thread of the timimng marks moving. Saw you replied to it. I'm just going to keep searching and see what I find out.

 

It's a timing thing, the misfire count is constantly being kept and like most things only sets off the light if a certain number is reached, it counts a miss if the ignition event isn't felt through the knock sensor. So chances are it's a more minor issue but on a system that effects the whole engine and it isn't meeting the count for one cyl but it is meeting the count for the engine as a whole.

 

That is possible, that can certainly create a miss if your belt skipped a tooth or two

 

Just had to deal with this a few days ago. Got a PO300 and a PO302 (Cylinder 2). Truck was running rough, attempted to drive it and check engine light starting blinking. Ended up being bad plug wires. Replaced them, truck runs good as new and the check engine light cleared itself. Start with the basics: plugs, plug wires, or coils. Could also be a faulty injector.

 

Thanks I’ll start there.

 

Live data scanner with graphing ability would help here.

 

Looks naked without the bed rack . tempted to back half her but might just go with a bed cage

 

You ran the antenna and ditch pod at the same time, how?

 

I think you miss understood, he had ditchlight, decided he didn’t like them, and then put an antenna on it.

 

This is what threw me off.

 

I guess I miss understood

 

I kept my antenna

 

Just a metal bracket thati bolted to the bottom to allow the antenna to sit behind the pod
