    So I need a mechanic to assist me with my Taco. (2003 taco 4x4 2.7 4 cylinder manual)

    Hopefully a shop around San Diego or Long Beach (I’m in both cities for school and work).

    Backgroundissue:
    I have a cylinder 1 misfire, I swapped the coil and plug from #1 to #4 and the misfire stayed at #1. Then I switched the fuel injector from #1 and #2. Ran out of quick “fixes” to figure out the issue.




    Thanks in advance for the advice!

    I take my truck to a guy in Long Beach who does great work. He is a certified Honda and Toyota mechanic. He was referred to me many years ago from another TW member. I've been going since and try reaching out to him to see if he can help. Only problem is booking a time with him as he always has vehicles lined up.
