    I'v owned my 2003 2wd tacoma for about six months. It has about 63,000 miles and runs great(good power) but has a very rough idle, it even shakes my front grill and causes a resonance up front. sounds bad and is annoying.

    There is no maint lights lit and I have had it on the dealers computer, they said to run some chevron techron thru the system(I did).

    Where should I go from here?

    Thanks in advance! Kevin

    Welcome to TW!

    Start with the plugs. They should be replaced every 30K miles. So they could be due....OR...if they are the original ones, that could be the problem.

    While you're at it you might consider just doing a tune up. Plugs, wires, distributer, air filter. Some folks on here are fans of using Seafoam as engine/fuel treatment.

    i had a 99 2.7l it had a rough idle.even after a tuneup it was still there.i myself just got used to it.but if it bothers you that much give it a try,but you may chase this for awhile.
