Was thinking over my decisions of paying 1200 dollars for head gasket replacement after my mechanic ran through most of all the issues of why my engine was misfiring on bank 1 (1,3,5) and was glad I checked out my engine I found a split hose right in the front connected to my air filter I looked it up and it is a line that sends air to the engine I recent the battery and waiting now to see if the light pops back up after a cold start. I let it sit for 10 minutes and took it on a short drive around the block but still no CE light hopefully this solved it!

I just had bought my 3rd gen 4runner and when I bought it there was mechanically nothing wrong and everything ran really well. I had it inspected the day I bought it Andy mechanic said it was a good running car. Recently the car has been misfiring on cylinder 1,3,5. My mechanic has Ran down the list of repairs and concluded it is probably a head gasket issue. Is it it worth it to fix it has 188k miles and runs AMAZING but idles a little rough. He said it would run me around 1200 dollars to fix I had bought it for 6,900

I’m having a hard time thinking it’s the head gasket as well there’s no signs of power loss no milky oil no over coolant consumption no white smoke either. There’s no symptoms of it being the head gasket
