My yota is misfiring...

[allpro yota]

Hey guys,
its me again asking another question. Well, i guess thats what we are all here for, right, each other. Anyways, my truck starts to miss fire when it is drivin, but not all the time, only between 2-3,000 rpm's. i think. After that, when u are on the freeway or whatever, it is all good, just when u are cruising down the street at a low rpm. What causes that? My friend, that i bought the truck off of, just fixed the timing, and that didnt do anything. What else can it be? Do i need to buy something to fix it?? okay, well i hope one of u geniuses can help me out on this one.

thanks a lot,
allpro

Time for a tune up; spark plugs/wires, distributor cap, air filter etc.

yup, My truck was recently doing the same thing, New spark plugs, wire, air cleaner fixed it...but you might also want to get a distributor cap like rescue said...hope this helps you out

What's your definition of "friend fixed the timing"? Get a timing light and see what it looks like for yourself.

my friend used to be a mechanic for toyota and used his timing light...sorry for not making that more clear

yea, the spark plub wires are good, the air filter is good, and my friend said the spark plugs are new, but ill change those anyways. And, i guess ill do the distributer cap.

thanks guys,
