Hey guys yesterday my car started up and ran fine i went to the gas station and than drove off to my friend house and it was running and as it was just sitting there idling... my exhaust tone sounded alot different like it was clog..... i was like wtf and i pull out to drive around it was running slow NO power,acceleration was very laggy to get up to 40.... I thought it be a clogged cat. So about an hour ago i took it to a muffler shop and they told me cat has been deleted its a straight pipe with aftermarket exhaust.......... no im clueless wtf is wrong my car....... Anybody got any input or advice that you can help me im kind of stressing out.... oh i and i added lucas fuel injector cleaner to it.. still running the same..

have you checked for codes? Even if they don't show up, Toyota ecu's will store it into memory. It might have flashed and then shut off.

bad gas maybe? wouldnt be a first ... funny how it happens right after you put gas in it.

well i just took it out for a spin still sluggish....... drove a bit till it was almost empty refuel and it ran a bit better but its still the same..... grrrr lol.

Possibility:
1. bad spark plug? ( changed like a month ago though)
2. Distrubor? cant spell it lol
3. Dirty injectors?
4. Fuel pump
grrr............. i want to try and do it myself than take it to the shop and empty my pocket some more.

Ok i have had a long freaking week....... my car is literally bugging me and im wanting to run like normal again by normal means i want my power/acceleration back! So my buddies and i been working on it..... 1st test check spark plugs 6 of the plugs are wet with gasoline i smell it, which mean fuel injectors are working? and spark is not igniting the fuel? 2 spark plugs are dry which mean it igniting...... replaced the spark plug wires to see if it was the problem and NO GO there.... replaced the distributor and rotors..... same result same sluggish still......... so today im going to check the coils see if it a bad coil.......... anybody can help me out now? it cant be the fuel filter or pump right? electrical problem maybe?? grrrr................
