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

P0302 is a misfire on cylinder #2, so most likely plug, plug wire, coil or injector. If you have changed the wire, plug and coil I would swap the injector next to see if it follows it. I had this problem after changing plugs and wires once and it was a bad plug wire. Just because you put new parts does not mean it is not bad. I took the new wire off and installed one of my old wires and it fixed my problem. I took the NGK plug wires back and bought OEM wires.

 

Very true. Would be pretty high odds that the old wire went bad and the new one was bad from the get go, but you never know. I guess I'll try swapping wires as it's an easy job and then swap injectors next and see if the code follows.

 

Its the simple things in life that make me smile flat heads n washers

 

Looks just like my UWS box.

 

It may be, I think they are all the same just different labels.

 

Ohhhhh yesss that looks real good! Love me some flatbed

 

I'd completely black out the flat bed. I think it would look awesome if the whole thing was black with the silver truck. Looks sweet man good fab work

 

Agree!!! Blk it all out

 

Fresh from the liquor store. Time to swap injectors

 

Pro tip... On this back nut.... Drop it down into the cavern behind the engine... Gives you time to make another drink and contemplate your decisions

 

Decided to try the BOSS rears. I think I gained 3/4 of an inch of droop over the OME. I have zero complaints for the OME. They lasted 60k just thought I'd try something different.

 

I hate to say it but it's a cheap ass hanneman fiberglass hood. It was a huge PIA to try and fit it to the truck. The hoods they make are sub par at best. if i could do it over again i would buy another stock hood and have a real metal hood scoop grafted onto the new hood and painted. I got it because it was cheap, light and my old hood had some bondo from the PO hitting something and doing a cheap ass fix to it and it started cracking. At least there are inserts molded into it so it connects to the hinges normally but no latch assembly. It has a lot of down sides but it's cheap. what can you say.

 

Had some family call me to catch up so just getting back to it... Finally found the injectors! The journey continues... And we're on J&C number 3... Work to drink ratio getting skewed... I'll keep you posted if it blows up later

 

Pro tip number 2.... Depressurize the fuel rail before pulling the rail and injectors... Or it vents when you pull the rail. Luckily I already had a towel in place and caught my mistake quickly. Reflexes still on point is there a write-up out there?!? Sorry for cluttering the thread tonight, but hopefully I'm helping someone... I miss my Corvettes and easily accessible fuel rails haha.

 

Found the aforementioned nut...

 

New struts and shocks, replaced tie rods and lower ball joints. My pass side obj castle nut wasn't even torqued down and the joint wasn't seated! Once I removed the cotter pin I was able to remove the castle nut completely by hand and the knuckle just swung free, definitely not a good feeling!

 

This is my next adventure... Front suspension overhaul. At least you know it's put back together correctly right?!?

 

Code went from P0302 to P0304 following injector swap!!!! Now I have to do it all over again with new injectors. Side note... Came in and the wife said you wreak of alcohol and gasoline No extra parts and no explosions sorry for those betting on me blowing something up



There's always next time when I replace injectors

 

Congrats on a solid diagnosis. Don't forget to sober up before a test drive.

 

Always so sensible...
