Misfiring problem
Hello, I got a misfire from my car
the code are
P0300 Random Misfired
P0303 cylinder 3 misfired
P0305 cylinder 5 misfired
I changed the spark plugs and the spark plugs wire but it seem still misfire. I did a search but it seem every thread the thread starter seem to disappear and not post how they solve their problems -____-.....

which codes came back? - all of them?
if it keeps indicating cylinders 3 & 5 then it will fairly easy to figure out, either related to fuel or ignition or engine issue in those cylinders
most likely suspects:
distributor caps
injectors
the problem will definitely be one of the following:
Ignition System
Injector
Fuel Line Pressure
EGR
Compression
Valve clearance
Valve timing
MAF meter
Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor (ECTS)
ECU Capacitors
why not start with replacing dist. caps & rotors, ECTS, and ECU capacitors, in that order, as these are three common problem areas in a 96 LS and use genuine Toyota parts for ECTS and distributor caps & rotors

if you did the compression test correctly, and you truly have no compression in cylinder 1, then you have major engine issues, i.e. a bent valve or a hole in the piston etc. - there is no low cost fix for these kind of problems, you are looking at big money, as no small problem can cause complete loss of compression in a cylinder.
how confident are you in your compression testing tools and ability?

maybe i should just stop driving the car far huh?
190k and timing belt was changed last week
if so - the person who installed the timing belt may well owe you an engine
