Can anyone tell me if this is a common problem or if there is anything else i should check on the vehicle to be safe .. it has about 220k on the clock and looks like it in good condition. are there any other common problems to look for????

Man that's alot of miles. I would check the trans. for shure.
On the head gasket I would make sure that the block is worth rebuilding. You may be better off to get a used engine and trans combo for about the same money as getting someone to fix that one.

Kindly help me with the wiring dirgram for 2003 toyota 4Runner with engine 4.7 V8.
Start by checking the ETCS fuse in the engine room fuse box. If it's good, you may have an open circuit between the fuse box and ECM.

A couple of possible problems, low compression on one or more cylinders, possibly a burned valve, possible headgasket leaks, have the compression tested and checked for a headgasket leak, both of these conditions would cause a rough idle and then seem to run normally when warmed up.

1995 4Runner: coolant coming from exhaust pipe?...
Coolant coming from the exhaust pipe is a common indication that you have a blown head gasket. This is a fairly common problem on 4runners equipped with a 3.0L V6 engine. I do not recommend driving the vehicle in this condition even if it is not yet overheating because it can lead to serious engine damage.
