ac92pathfinder Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 95 toyota 4runnder sputters really bad. i had a code 52 for a bad knock sensor. but light went off. so im gonna get that replaced. could that make it sputter? i also had the same problem awhile back turns out it was a defective spark plug after they replaced the heads. im gonna pull the plugs out and cleam them and check the wires and exchange them. has anyone had this isssue? i also noticed a match smell to when it runs like that. im thinking an o2 sensor. if its the plugs whats causing it to fail? its a 95 4runner v6. thanks.

edicer2 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 i bet you right with o2 sensor. could it be a cloged cat? bad MAF if they even have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'd start with the tune up items first (I had a distributor cap with no center electrode once, and it still ran ok, just stuttered at low rpm), vacuum lines, smog valves, etc (like with any car) first.

FUELER Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Sell it and buy a Pathfinder X3 those early 4 runners are not nearly as reliable as nissans of the same age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSlowReliable Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 idk guys, if i were to buy another old vehicle, it would be a hard choice between the removable top 4runners, and a wd21....gotta say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Don't mind all the buy nissan posts, it's a nissan forum so it's to be expected, even though it's hardly helpful Did you replace the knock sensor yet.. if so did it help? How about the plugs, check the cap and wires? Run it in the dark with the hood open and look for arcs around the wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'd go with Reds idea,sounds like your dizzy is about done or your having to much current running threw the wires or there old and bad. Could also be just bad gas...my camaro does that if I fill up with cheap super america of holiday gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
