    The gas smelling weak was What Toyota told me. So, since then I ran 6 -7 tanks of high octane gas threw it I normally use 87. But the light is still on so I am ruling out that I had a tank of bad gas.

    I just checked back in on this thread to see what the resolution was. Looks like it's still in trouble shooting mode. Bummer. If you find the problem please let us know. I'll just sit here and wait.:bored:

    My guess is a vacuum leak or a weak fuel pump.

    One old trick for checking for pesky vacuum leaks is to take one of those hand held propane torches and turn the gas on (don't light it, LOL) and move it around all suspect areas including intake gasket areas etc. If you hit a spot and the idle speeds up dramitically, you found your leak :)
