Default engine roughness


I'm a new member with a 98 4 Runner SR5 w/3.4l engine which has 197k miles. Mileage has dropped to 13 mpg from 16+/- for winter ops here in Maine. Engine runs slightly rough between 40-50 mph and gets progressively worse to 70+. No difference, in or out of OD. The check engine light doesn't come on. Plugs and wires were changed about 20k ago. Thanks for any help.

Default RE: engine roughness

Roughness has gone away! While enroute to the repair shop it started running OK but had it checked out anyway. Nothing showed up on the scan, no history/no codes. He thought possible EGR sticking or bad fuel. If it happens again I'll stop in and have it checked out. Mileage is back to 15+ mpg.
