Have a 1999 Toyota Tacoma with a 3.4. Vehiclw was brought in 4 pinging under acceleration. Check engine light was on with a TPS code. Upon diag we found the plugs very worn. 140K on vehicle so we did a complete tune-up. Plugs wires coil boots, fuel filter. Upon start up itbegann misfiring on cylinders 4 & 6. Put old wires back on and fine. Put new set on and same misfire. Upgraded to a premium set of wires, still misfires. Put originals back on, still misfires. switched coils, did not move. Put original plugs back no change. Using NGK dual electrode plugs. Have injector pulse, have fuel pressure, compression check is good, replaced 2 injectors. STILL have misfire on the two cylinders. Can anyone help?

    Yes, compression is fine, have spark, pulled off fuel rail to check flow, plenty of gas, wires are correct.

Most likely I a would suspect the fuel rail had moisture in it. If you checked emissions it would most likely show no HC and alot of 02 and no CO. If it does show alot of HC then I would suspect sticking valves intermittantly . The pinging really points to no fuel issue tho. If you pull the injector connector off and no change then I would remove the fuel rail and inspect. Also make sure the wires are in the correct locations. It easy to get them wrong.

    by the way did you do a running compression test. This would indicate weak valve springs

    Then the only option is you have a intake vacuum leak. Spray brake cleaner around the plennum in that area to see if the idle changes. Of pour water to see if it gets sucked in. Since your saying you have injector pulse on both injectors then I would not suspect a quad driver in the PCM as being at fault. Also did you rotate the coils to see if the misfire followed.

    Then this is the point your going to have to just take it in because you have stated you tested everthing but obviously you missed something you tested. We have expensive equipment that will detect problems the backyard mechanic cannot find. It would have been cheaper than throwing the parts on it that you have already done.

Firing order for wires on a Toyota Tacoma 4cyl 2.7l 1999

Most 4 cylinder engines use 1, 3, 4, 2 as a standard firing order. Number 1 cylinder is positioned nearest the belts and pulleys, and cylinder 4 is nearest the transmission. The coil packs are often marked with the numbers 1 to 4 to show which cylinder they are meant to go to.

My 1999 tacoma i bought has a cold air intake and its throwing a check engine light but it drives fine??? Help

drive it on over to oriellys auto parts and ask them to use thier scan tool (most parts stores can do this for you) itll tell you what part is causing the code to be thrown. however 9 times out of 10 when you have a check engine light on and the car still drives fine its the O2 sensor. on a side note most cold air intakes are a gimmick. most vehicles come stock with cold air intake from the factory. the issue ive noticed most with cold air intakes that use oil is they get over oilled and this cloggs up the IAC valve, TPS sensor, and throttle body.

1999 toyota tacoma 2.7L check engine light came on and showed a code for a bad tps. I replaced the tp[s and the truck runs worse.

Sounds like a mass air flow sensor. Sometimes when the TPS is out the MAF throws a code, and Sometimes when the MAF is out the TPS throws a code. They correspond with eachother and its tricky to tell. What kind of problems are you having?
