Hi everyone,

Ok so I have a 99 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 3.4 liter engine with 143,000
miles on it. Everything is going just fine, I am out driving around in
the snow and almost home when all of a sudden, loss of power and the
engine is slugish and slow to rev up. If it revs to far it tries to
stall. When it idles it is rough like the coils died, again. So being
in Asheville, Nc with all this snow the town is shut down. Finally i
get Autozone and they have one coil. I figure I can swpa it around and
find the bad coil and be back up. No luck there. So I am stuck, do all
three coils go bad at once or could there be another problem? Any help
is appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott..

Scott, did you get a check engine light? If so, what were the trouble
codes? If you have not pulled the trouble codes, you should do that and
post them here. If you did not get a check engine light, the coils are
probably OK and I'll give you some other stuff to check.

I did get a check engine light, forgot to mention that. Do you think
those coils are coould have gone bad? I can't beleive all three of
them would bail at once.

Thanks again,

Scott..

Let's see - you have diagnostic info available. Use it. By diagnostic
info, I mean the codes stored in the computer.

Ok hooked up the scanner and it says passed no codes. Truck will not
start so I am not sure what to try now.
