I have a 1995 toyota tacoma 4 cylinder. The problem i'm having is the engine is running rough at idle, and when you rev the engine it backfires and loses power. Any help is great thanks.

HAs the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pressure? Have you checked the catalytic converter to see if it is plugged? Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Let me know.

Can be a lean mixture or cross firing leads a scan may show up an unresolved fault codes, this will be a good place to start.
