Can a bad PCV valve cause a misfire?
Misfiring while idling Another symptom of a bad or failing PCV valve hose is your vehicle will misfire while it is idling. This can be from a loss of vacuum due to the hose not working properly because of a leak, the hose being pinched, or becoming clogged from buildup over time.
Can an EGR valve cause a misfire?
Possible engine misfires Another sign the the EGR valve has gone bad, is engine misfires. A bad EGR valve may cause random engine misfires if it is causing a vacuum leak in the engine.

How do you find a misfire code on a Toyota 4Runner?
If a misfire is occurring in only one or two cylinders, you will usually find a misfire code for that specific cylinder rather than a random misfire code. Start by checking engine intake vacuum. Connect a vacuum gauge to a vacuum port on the intake manifold. Start the engine and note the vacuum reading.
Why does my Toyota 4Runner fail emissions test?
The fuel mixture is too lean to ignite reliably so it often misfires and fails to ignite at all. Lean misfire will show up as elevated hydrocarbon (HC) readings in the exhaust, which may be enough to cause a vehicle to fail an emissions test. Hesitation or misfiring when accelerating.
What causes a Toyota 4Runner to have a lean idle?
If the engine smooths out and HC drops and remains stable, the problem is a lean idle condition. Check for dirty injectors, low fuel pressure or a defective fuel pressure regulator. If HC still fluctuates, however, the engine is still too lean in one or more cylinders indicating a vacuum leak.
