    I have a 2002 Tacoma that suddenly started running so rough it's undriveable except very short distances.

    I tried trouble shooting by unplugging the coil wires to the front cylinder and the idle went lower, so i plugged it back in. Then I went to the next cylinder towards the back, It again slowed, but before I could plug it back in, it died.

    I went to start her back up and Nothing. The door alert was going, but no indication of any power going to the dash or starter. I checked the fuses, they all seem to be intact. Any notion of what happened or how best to proceed?

    No response at all when I attempt to turn it on. Not even a click. I replaced a fuse, but still nothing.

    I put another battery in it and she starts. Now I need to find out why she was misfiring to begin with...

    You need to pull the codes, it will point to the cylinder(s) that are misfiring.
