Where the codes ever cleared? I'll assume yes. Very low miles for the car I would say go for it. You can find parts car on craigslist for cheap. The price is real good also. Where the 02 sensors ever changed? He might have installed the wires incorrectly. There is a possibility that there could be a worn wire going to the coil or cut wire. If you could get some more info i might be able to help you out.

Im pretty sure that one has 3 coil packs and 3 wires. And no distributor. Thats an awesome car but watch out as some of them have been known to sludge up the engines and start knocking or smoking blue out of the exhaust. For 2000 dolllars id be all over it.

As for the problem with it. Id just take it to a Toyota dealer. Its usually 1.0 Hrs diag time and they are almost guaranteed to find the problem. Bring it by my job. Wesley Chapel Toyota, 5300 Eagleston Blvd. Wesley Chapel Fl 33543. ITs pretty much all the way down Bruce B Downs right before SR 54. You turn at the intersection before the light at SR54. WE are behind the plaza with bruger king, bealls, and Las Vallartas restaraunt. If hes already replaced those parts and you dont know anything about the car just bring it by. Pm me and ill see if i can get you a hook up.
