96 4Runner acceleration problem; transmission or fuel delivery problem?

[Sweetrobot]

Ok, I'm gonna hold off on the timing stuff until summer. it's not bad, but I don't wanna risk it.

I will be taking care of the brakes and complete tuneup.

So far, I have purchased these items:

-Ignition coil: $78 (70+8 for shipping)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

The part is new and original Toyota, purchased from dealer/ stealer.

-NGK plug wires: $35.95 (25.95+10 for shipping)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

Brand new. I do have a problem/ confusion- There are only 3 wires in the set, and the seller and other sites say that is "correct for my application". Wouldn't I need 6, since I have 6 cylinders? I am an amateur, so I probably have missed somehting. Could anyone explain?

-NGK Iridium IX spark plugs: $39.50 ($5.75/ plug x 6= 34.50+5 for shipping)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

Brand new (obviously), and best offered by NGK for my application. Denso had similar, though couldn't beat NGK's price as referenced in above link.

-AISIN Brake Master Cylinder: $118.27 (Free ground shipping)

The part is new and original Toyota, and is NOT remanufactured.

Basically, these are the parts I will bring for the tuneup, and let the mechanic, Bruce, do the rest. Will keep you updated.

I have tried a set of aftermarket wires and threw them away rough idle and running. Replace with original set and problem solved then replaced with Toyota OEM and ran even better.

You NEED seven wires actually!
Six cylinders and one wire from the igniter.

I did only need three wires actually, (and six spark plugs, ofcourse). The mechanic explained why, as did the Haynes manual, though I can't recall exactly why. Anyway, I will be picking uup the car at 5pm today! I'll keep you posted as to how it turned out. I am hoping the brake pedal is also nice and firm, and that the brake adjustment will get rid of some of the vibration.

All fluids will be chanmged, as I mentioned, so it should be running tip top.

The mechanic was suprised at the great prices I got on the plugs, cylinder and wires.

Just forgot to check back with you folks. Anyway, the iinitial issue is comletely resolved, as are the brakes (excpet that vibration). I have had a terrible vibration since I bought the car, while braking, especially once its slows down, the vibration gets very bad. I have changed all brakes parts- calipers, rotors, drums, shoes, pads, master, checked abs system, etc
What can it be?!

[Sweetrobot]

Referring to the Haynes book, it states the vibration can be caused due to a bad front wwheel hub bearing. Is it possible? Wouldn't this cause vibration all the time, or only during braking?

I have read about vibration problem in another auto forum site and as I can tell you it could be a bad drive shaft which you need to replace it, and if you don't know where is that drive shaft is locate at it is the rod that connect to your back differential.

This is not the priblem as the vibration only occurs during braking. Thanks for replying.
