Very Weird Problem. Any Ideas?

I just put some new spark plug wires on my 1997 3.4 V6 4x4 Taco because the cylinder 4 spark plug wire was intermittently shorting in to the block causing a cylinder 4 misfire. I changed the wires, and the truck ran great! I was on my way to a job today, felt two pulses of loss of power an then it died. I coasted in to a parking lot and tried to start it. Truck turned over but wouldn't start. I tried again. The temperature gauge shot up to max for a little while before returning to 40% where it should be. It seemed like an electrical problem of some sort. The truck started and I was able to drive a few feet before it died. I tried one more time. The truck started and I was able to drive home without any problems. Any ideas Tacoma World?

 

My guess is that the plug wire problem is unrelated to the other. I would check ground wires and connections. Might be an intermittent connection in another wire somewhere. Good luck.

 

Solved. One of my vacuum hoses had come loose. Thanks for responding!

 

Which hose was it?

 

Ahh it's been a while but I think it was one that attached to the intake.
