a bought a 2000 tacoma 3 days ago really cheap and mean dirt cheap, but there is an engine problem and today i found out what the problem is cause i had my check engine light check, and it said that there is a missfire on cylinder 3 & 4, and i just want to know if it could be fix easy or do i get a new engine.
here is the truck, even though if i buy a new engine is will still be worth it for the price i bought the car for.

a misfire is usually ignition or sensor related, very rarely it is the valves not sealing because of weak/dead valve springs

ok here is the update on my truck, i haven't done the compression check yet but i check the coils and they work fine but injector 3&4 dont work cause i disconnect them and the truck runs the same, but if i disconnect 1 or 2 the truck dies, so those that mean that my injectors took a shit?

it just said that it missfires on cylinder 3 & 4 that's it, and so far it looks like #3&4 injectors are not working, cause i have check almost everything except the compression, spark plugs came out ok nothing wet or anything bad. I check with a toyota dealership and the spark plugs ran at $165 each kragen has them at $65 each.

are you sure it's the injectors and not the wiring?
did you remove them but leave them plugged in to see if they are spraying fuel?
it could just as easily be a bad coil pack, unplugging the fuel injector would make no difference if there is not enough spark.

well i check the coil packs and they are ok cause i swicth them around to see if one or two were bad but still same results, the wiring looks ok on the injectors but i will take them off to see if they are spraying.
Thanks for the info guys

and compression is good?
if the oil is pressurized then that sounds like a BHG to me.
you've had both a compression test (with the fuel pump disabled, pull the relay or unplug the injectors) and a leak down test done and all 4 cylinders are within 5%?
