What is your question?
I have a 2004 4 Runner sr5 v6 engine with 156,000 miles on it. All of the sudden my car started running rough when I first turns it on and the Vsc trac, Vsc off and engine light cames on. The roughness stops after about 15 sec. Took it to the dealer Sad they can't tell what's going on only that cyclinder 4 is misfiring. It's not losing pressure or coolant. Any advice on what it can be. I've been seeing items here stating the dealers are quoting the heads need changing, but I refuse to accept that based on what I know so far. The car only runs rough after it has not been running for anwhile and does not give any indication of loss in power Any advice? Thank you in advance.

Had same issue with my 4runner. Take your MAF sensor out and clean it with MAF sensor cleaner. Also, replace your spark plugs. While doing so check to make sure there is no fluid (i.e. oil) on any of the plugs. Should stop running rough for a bit though it's usually a temp fix. Might want to start thinking of checking your head gasket.
What were the engine codes? For a cylinder to fire you need spark, fuel and compression. Easy to check these. Was a block check performed? If not then you need to find a new shop in your area.
