Engine Trouble - Please Help

[Paladin06]

OK, here is the story. I was on my way to drop my car off for shipping. It was running great after 3 days of EASE OBD II tuning (new MAF install). After about 25 minutes of driving I noted a quick power drop, the car began to miss real bad, the boost gauge went crazy for about 5 seconds. I was able to crawl to the shipping companies yard for shipment.

I got the car here (AZ) and hooked up my EASE OBD II and got multiple engine mis-fire cylinders 1 and 6. I pulled and checked all the plug wires they are good, the coils are all new and good as well. I noted that all but two of the plugs were gas soaked and very black in color. As a precaution I replaced all the plugs. I believe the igniter is good and no real way to test the ECU.

Now I restarted the car, still running rough as hell, boost gauge shakes like crazy, S-AFC knock signal is 45 to 55 at idle and there is a loud squeeking sound from the SC. I also noted the SC remains warm even after running for awhile.

I'm really leaning toward the SC but I'm looking for some input. As of late this car has been a real pain and If things don't get better real soon it's on the FS block as is. I've dumped way to much money in this hole not to be able to swim.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

the first thing you need to tell people is what year, and engine your car is. now I can see by the photo its a 6 cyl.

since you have 2 cylinders misfiring and the common bond is the coil pack, sounds to me like its failed. try swapping 2 coil packs and watch if the misfiring cylinders change on your scanner.

sorry to hear your having troubles, I wish I could help you out, but next time you might find better help in the hardcore tech/info section, or at least the main camry section, since it is 1mz related, goodluck
