    Sup peeps!
    Grandma Betty is my 2006 4Runner SR5 and she is my baby! We are rocking 284k miles and she is a member of our family. A month ago she started shaking really bad when I would crank her up. I could turn her off and wait a moment and when I cranked back up she was fine. Started the maintenance journey with a tune up, new sparks, wiring, the works. She felt peachy for 2 weeks and then she started bucking. Once I got up to 45-50mph she would buck similar to how a new driver does learning the break from the gas. We went back for maintenance and replaced the MAP sensor. She has been great for 2 weeks! Driving like new again! But an hour ago I cranked her up to move her and she was shaking like crazy. I turned her off and back on and she was chill. Any thoughts about what else it could be? The codes are saying transmission but the maintenance guys don’t think that’s the problem. Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

    Was it a new Toyota MAF sensor that you installed? Also, could be an ignition coil.

    It was a new sensor. And I’m pretty sure they replaced the ignition coil on my first trip but I’ll definitely call and ask!
    Is it going to be safe to keep driving for now you think?

    What transmission code are you getting. Any code can cause and issue and/or tie into other systems

    Well, as someone said once, I wouldn't drive it any further than you care to walk back from. As RumHamRunner says, get the diagnostic codes and see what the truck is unhappy with.
