    sounds like it has to do with timing, do you have a timing gun because sometimes when the timing is off it will idle but once you increase the RPMs it gets worse and could be the cause of the misfire

    Possibly a air flow problem intake or exhaust. Could also check fuel filter and injectors.

    yea i didnt realize it was a 99 when i responded (guess i should pay attention to the year) not sure if a timing gun will work as i dont think the 99 has a distributor for timing, pretty sure its electronic timing.

    What kind of parts did ya use, Toyota's like denso parts, the AutoZone crap not so much , and did you replace coil(s) or just switch cylinders , your post stated "other one" so not sure if that means swapped cylinders to see if miss followed coil or if it or they are new.

    runs real smooth til i hit 70 mph in drive or stomp on it for passing then it stumbles and check eng lite flashes or if im in 2nd and accelerate it will stumble at low speed was wondering if throtle sensor could be faulty

    so after many attempts at curing my check engine lght changing my fuel filter did the trick hope this helps someone
    the lack of fuel caused the miss fire butit still has stumbling at high rpms
