TSBs and Warranties Can't find the info I'm looking for

[jamest123]

Can't say that I'm loving this forum format so far.

A: 2002 TSB Ignition Coil. Is there a TSB for this part yes or no. How could I have found this info QUICKLY without having to skim EVERY damn tsb?
Please, LOGIC SEARCH FORMAT.

B: The deal is trying to tell me that emissions parts are now only warranted for 3/36. I don't care what the new warranty is. I want to find the text of the warranty that came with a New 2002 Tundra. Probably in the original owners manual. Does this info exist....how about on this database. If so how do I find it and what logical search should I use to find it. A link would help but I also would like to know the logic of the search.

Thanks

Glenn thank you very much for the focussed answer.

In Maryland vehicles are required to pass an emissions test every two years. The test is an exhaust sniffer/ sensor up the tailpipe or on newer cars the test station will do a "Quick Test" in which they plug in to the on board computer to read the diagnostic codes. BUT...if there are any trouble codes the vehicle automatically fails the test. I already started the question with Toyota.

I have a 2002 Tundra with 38,000 miles Six cyl, manual, 4wd.

Around 2000 - 2002 I know that the warranty on all emissions was 8 yrs/80k miles. I have a code that comes up that says "Cylinder six mis-fire". I checked continuity of the coils and the coil that fires 3 and 6 reads bad (But still runs). I swapped position of the coil and the code changed to "multiple cylinder misfire" so I think that the coil is a good first guess. But it costs $120 at Toyota or $75 after market. My position is the ORIGINAL warranty guaranteed emissions systems for 8 & 80k. I bought a Toyota for quality and reduced maintenance. The truck won't pass the emissions test because of a coil. I think that Toy should under the Emissions warranty pay to repair.

I bought the truck used. (Emissions warranty transfers to new owner) I don't have the original owner manual. Couls somebody look in the manual and confirm text discussing warranty for emissions?

Thanks

If you do need a coil then the unburned fuel probably would make it fail emissions and also mess up your oxygen sensors as well ...
but I don't think a coil should or will fall under any part of the emissions warranty??
