What would cause a misfire on 1999 Toyota 4 cylinder engine?
This started with balking at 45-50 mph. It did not do it all the time. Then a few days later I started it and it was like a skip. The engine code said misfire in #1 and #4 cylinders. I changed plugs, coil, pcv valve. I suspect trash in fuel and am thinking of replacing injectors. Any other ideas?
4 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs3 years agoWhat are some causes of misfire in a 4 cylinder Toyota engine?
This is a 1999 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder 2.2 engine, well maintained and has ran without any problems. Last week it started a small, intermittent rough running, skip. This occurred mainly from 40-50 mph. Then a few days later it started doing it all the time. Service light started blinking. The code reader said misfire.
So I have put new gas in, put in gas line cleaner, changed spark plugs, changed the coil.That did not help. I did not change the spark plug wires, which are about three years old (Bosch). What else could cause this?

The other day the alarm suddenly went off, the door locks were going up and down and the trunk opened.

4 AnswersDesktops4 years agoWhat would cause car alarm to go crazy?
The other day the car was parked outside. Suddenly the alarm goes off, the trunk opens, and the door locks are going up and down like crazy. I finally got it off by disconnecting the battery. Now everything is fine. I have not used the remote security control in years; it is in a drawer somewhere. Could some sort of electrical signal from another source have caused this ? We are frequently getting dropped connections with our internet and wireless speakers inside the house.
Could one of these have caused it :
cell phone
garage remotes
tv remotes
air traffic overhead
drone remotes

I have never heard of this before, and may not even be any kind of problem. My car seems like it is dropping a lot of condensation water from the a/c when I park it. The a/c works great - no problem there. But I don't remember this happening before this summer. It has been hot and very humid lately.

1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans4 years agoWhat is an average price to replace a heater door actuator control on a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria ?
The heat/ac on the car only puts out hot air. This started after there was a clicking noise behind the instrument panel. Then nothing but hot air comes out, even though the ac compressor runs. What would be an average price to replace the part - heat door actuator control ? This part runs about $60, but is back in behind the instrument panel and will take about 6 - 8 hours to replace.
