1993 4 runner

whos the one that put the heads back together?.....whos this mechanic that did the heads the 2nd time....is it a shop that u pay 'em market driven price to fix ur car or some guy claims to be a mechanic??....i know for sure...a competent shop that put it together won't let a car get out without a test drive ...and also a fact..they won't try not to figure y with no pwr without trying to sell u more service or if that was their problem during installation.....any other good friend good deals or insider saturday nite special will be under the category of 'u get what u pay for'...

[quote:19cfee3ae3="Kenny Smith"]I have a 1993 4 runner with about 100,000 miles on a v-6. 4 wheel drive automatic. About 2 years ago the engine started missing and running real bad. I had the heads planed because I seen a small water leak between the head and block. Put it back together and it still ran bad. Took it to the local dealer and they wanted $400 to fix a couple minor things before they would put it on diagonistic machine. (Not gonna happen) sent it to another mechanic and he found a bad valve, so off with the heads again and back to machine shop. After 6 new valves and 2 new cams new plugs wires dis. cap and everything it now idles fine but has no power to drive. I don't think the advance is working but is there a sensor that would cause that or part of the computer? Please help it has been off the road for 2 years now and have stuck a lot of money in it and really need to get this fixed.[/quote:19cfee3ae3]

Check the TPS and MAF sensor
