Problem....

[mazilla]

While I was out and about today the Yaris started to have a bit of an issue. I lost power @ 3k+ or under heavy acceleration followed by a flashing CEL. CEL would disappear below 3k. The engine sounds bogged down and runs choppy...scanguage did not show a code the entire time.

If I had to guess I'd say cylinder misfire. I'm going to pull the plugs in the morning and go from there. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be a coil or something(coils are ebay cheapos).

Anybody want to venture a guess on this one?


Worst case is a swap, a local wrecker has a 22K mile 08' motor for 1k installed....I'm really ok with that, it would go hand in hand with my turbo build and save me from having to get towed from who knows where if I were to turbo the current 250-300K mile motor.
