    Hey guys, just looking for a little help with my 95 2.7 liter tacoma 4x4. It was running ok. It would drive just fine but at idle for a small amount of time it would bog like it was flooding. If I turned the truck off and restarted a short time later it would also stumble, then one day as I was driving it started running horrible. It would barely pull itself, so I parked it and changed plugs, wires and distributor cap. That helped the idling a little but it still has no power and a misfire code. Sorry for the long post and appreciate any help

    Vacuum leaks would certainly be the first thing I would check. At the least you probably have a few small ones...it adds up.

    Tried using propane around hoses and gaskets but didn't notice any change in the engine rpms. Good possibility there is a leak, I just haven't found it yet

    I have never had good luck with propane or map gas unless it was a large leak. But it does work.
