Good Afternoon, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues here on the 4Runner, i know how frustrating it can be to deal with misfires. Faulty O2s can cause every cylinder to misfire since the [engine](/topics-engine-toyota/) cannot control air fuel ratio as needed. I would recommend we first rule out the ignition and fuel delivery system first since that causes misfires more commonly but O2s can also cause it yes.

Well I've always had bank 2 sensor 1 bad but never misfiring and I actually melted the vac canister and still no misfire and put on a kn coll air intake and no misfire. Was wondering what that u shaped rod is under the plastic piece that says Toyota 4.7 v8 on top of the engine and it's got a adjustable screw. Is that the crank position?

i would need a picture or part number to confirm but the crank sensor is not on the top of the engine on the 4.7s so no it wont be that

Ok well I'm guessing a [spark plug](/topics-spark-plug-toyota/) or the o2 sensors. Would hooking anything electrical that draws alot of current cause misfire?
