Re: 99 Tj power loss after startup
What do you mean by a low quality gasoline? I use 87 octane just as the manual
specifies. I usually stop at whatever gas station is near me when i need gas,
and i stay away from the crappy no name gas stations.

You could be describing a slightly dirty connection on the TPS.

Good for you, but the carbon build up is the reason the misfire is
not as noticeable warm.
