Misfire?

Hi everyone!

new to the forum here. I have a 95 4runner SR5 with 164k miles on it. recently (this week) the car has seemed to been misfiring, especially during acceleration or on small inclined roads. Check engine light hasn't come on, and no real alarming warning signs that i can tell. engine seems to be running on about 85-90% power with a thumping feel.

I ordered a basic tune up kit i will be doing myself this week. hoping it's just some bad spark plugs.

Any other suggestions on what might be causing this?

thank you in advance!

 

If you're doing a basic tune up, it wouldn't hurt to replace the spark plug wires, as well as the distributor cap/rotor.

 

I have found this to be helpful on many occasions for my 3VZE.

Thank you but it doesnt say anything about transmissions

 

What about transmissions are you needing?

 

Oh I see your post now. Sounds like you have an auto trans? Sorry, no experience with that generation auto
