Track off light flashing and misfires like crazy
A month ago i was in an accident i got the car repaired and yesterday i was drivein to get my fade and at a light the car starts to misfire. When the light turned green i put it in 1st and it mis fired the whole way to about 3,000 rpms then cleared up. i got to my barber got my fade and when i when i turned the car back on, the problem had gotten a lil worse. on the way home the check engine lite came on along with the track off lite flashing. Once that had happened the car would mis fire no matter wat RPM i was at.
Before the accident the car ran like new after the accident the car was still running smooth the body shop actually complemented me on how well i kept good care of my engine. but now i have this issue. I think its the spark plugs that are makeing it misfire. but jus wanted to post my problem to see wat you guys here may think. Any suggestions????

i didnt get the codes read but i changed my spark plugs last nite and wat had made my engine run like **** was, a hose rite above plug 1 spit out a **** load of pink fluid rite onto the spark plugs. we dried up the mess took out the plugs and replaced them. the car runs beautifully again. i still havent reset the check engine lite and why the track off is flashing. im goin to today on my way home from work and ill post them up for any 1 to see.

yea i think you will just get the random misfire codes. It seems anytime the check engine light turns on the TRAC light will start flashing annoyingly even if the error has nothing to do with the traction system. Why would Toyota design a system like that?

i think the Trac lite flashes so it becomes annoying and makes u want to fix the problem.
So i still have mis firein issues and i changed my spark plugs and dried up all the fluid that was around them. i think when i put my AC on is when it starts misfireing again not as bad but its ussually only in 1st and then it goes away any 1 have any ideas to wat this problem is? when i come back from orlando im goin to buy the plug wires from lexus and hopefully that well fix the problem if its that.
