    I have a 2001 Toyota yaris. 1.0 cdx It seems to be running on only 3 cylinders..
    Lookin for info on possible faults it maybe..
    It drove 140 miles like this. And previous owner was driving like this too..
    Slow to get moving in first gear but fine once its away.. Max speed roughly 70.. But it is just a 1.0 ltr

    First guess would be coil pack.

    It's one of the coils. I had the same problem on a yaris. Get it done or try it yourself. Have a look online on how to replace a coil. Good luck. Simple job.

    I've tried that already... Have since been told timing is slightly off and needs to be adjusted..
    Does anyone know how to do this ? Is it a relatively easy job.. ?

    i would still get it plugged in to see if there are any codes on it. they might just point u in the right direction.
