If, after driving for 5-10 miles, I cut my Tacoma off for about 10 minutes and then restart it, it cranks easily but runs rough. When I then start to drive it, it will stutter and shake. Going up a hill, it will lose power. The check engine light comes on and blinks. If I shift into 2nd, power loss is not as obvious and the truck will gain speed. However, the engine light will blink on.
Fuel filter, spark plugs and spark plug wires were replaced but did not fix problem. Engine analysis didn't pick up any problem, but stethoscope indicated that there may be a mechanical problem with injectors 4 and 5. The mechanic stated that this may fix the problem, but no guarantee. Advice?
