What is your question?
I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner with 150k miles on it. Every morning my car shakes like crazy when I start it. The check engine light and VSC light are on. Spark plugs have been replaced. The 2 coils that were showing a misfire have been replaced and the car still shakes. I've had an oil change too. Any ideas? I've been reading all these forums and a lot are saying different things. Please help me!
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing makes it better.
How long has your 2005 Toyota 4Runner had this problem?
A few months

Hello, if you have diagnostic trouble codes that are related to cylinder misfires and you have done "basic" repairs of replacing spark plugs and coils, then further testing must be performed. You will need to find out if your cylinder misfire is related to an unresolved spark / ignition issue, a fuel delivery issue or even a base engine issue. Diagnostic test equipment can monitor spark at the cylinders. Further, a manual compression test may be a good idea -- see where all 6 cylinders are rating and see if the two cylinders in question are much lower than the rest in pressure. If so, a leak down test should then be performed. It is time to get "hands on" with testing, and stop researching to formulate guesses as to why the problem occurs. Testing will get you the answers you need.
