Nice find, I looked right past it. Only $14 from Amayama (plus shipping, of course, so may want to combine with other goodies) - Buy Genuine Toyota 7137035010E0 (71370-35010-E0) Holder Assy, Rear Seat Cushion. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama

My 99 is getting hot while idling. It doesn't happen while driving and if I shift to neutral or P and bring the rpms up then the temperature goes back down pretty quickly.

This sounded to me exactly like a faulty fan clutch but after replacing it the problem persists. The radiator was also replaced less than a year ago. The rig has 235k miles and the timing belt and water pump was done at ~170k.

99 4runner 3.4 TRD supercharged with URD 7th injector and cooler thermostat from URD.

It was happening rarely a couple months ago but it's getting much more frequent, almost every time the truck idles.

Yeah, that's your upstream/bank 1 sensor 1/ air/fuel ratio sensor. The more expensive one, lol. That part number I listed is the one you'd want. Don't go with anything except OEM/Denso.

So I called to ask if they could just get me a standard hood until the sport hood finally arrives and they said it would take about 2 days. I am debating doing this just to get my truck back until the sport hood arrives, then going to pick that up once it arrives. But then I have no use for the standard hood. I search CL and eBay and OfferUp but I don't see many for sale for when I want to sell my regular hood. Do you guys think I should do it? Any advice on where I can sell my standard hood (which will be very lightly used) once my sport hood comes in?

TL;DR Advice/suggestions where I can sell my (very lightly used) hood once I get my sport hood? I am in DFW and CL/eBay/OfferUp do not look very promising.

Potentially how much longer is the wait time going to be for the sport hood to arrive? If you have other means of transportation, I wouldn't be too worried about it and would save my money by not buying a regular hood also. Just wait it out, the wait should be worth it and you have other reliable transportation.

The pull tab part number 71370-35010-E0. . This is oak color.

ECM is trying to adjust fuel trims based on a air/fuel sensor that isn't there. Once the code sets the ECM knows that it can't use any of the data (or lack of data) from the air/fuel sensor and defaults to a neutral fuel trim table. You need to fix that sensor.

What temperature is it getting to while idling? Have you checked your condenser to make sure it isn't clogged as well? Have you checked your coolant level and verified the overflow is working?

Hey everyone!

I’m about to tackle the valve cover gaskets on my 1999 Limited and have a quick question regarding the fuel injector wiring harness. I know these things are prone to breaking into a million pieces so my goal is to wrap them with something prior to removing the valve cover. My question is, what would you recommend I wrap them in? My goal is to make it look nice/clean but I want something that will allow me to easily access the harness again if need be. I was looking at wire looms online but most of them seem to not have a high heat resistance. Can someone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I just finished wrapping my harness with self fusing silicone tape - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002LA2258...roduct_details

I have never used it before, and at first I was not happy because it had no adhesion to the plastic wiring harness enclosure. Then I did some googling and realized that while the tape does not stick to anything, it actually fuses to itself - so after a few wraps, you have a complete fused enclosure that will never unstick or peel. The stuff is amazing.

Every time they delay it it's another 2 weeks or so. It is stressing me out because I haven't had the vehicle for over 2 months now and now that the weather is getting nicer I want to drive it more

I don't have a means to read the temperature but the needle gets up near the H on the dash temp gauge temporarily and it comes down within a few seconds of higher rpm.

I haven't checked the condenser I'm not sure what part that is. I thought the a/c condenser is in a separate system from the coolant. Unless you mean to check if the fins are preventing airflow then I will check it asap. I live on a dirt road and it's been real muddy this year so definitely possible.

I'll double check the coolant and bleed it. Not sure how to check if overflow is working but I suppose I can ask youtube =]

Does this sound like pinging to anyone? It sounds like metal jingling/shaking around, but also sounds pretty rhythmic and appears to be located to just the front passenger corner where the camera is facing. Only happens once I start reaching around 65-70mph; doesn't seem to increase/react with throttle but it definitely decreased as I let off and slowed down (at 60 and below it's completely gone)... I regularly get up to 4000-5000RPM in the lower gears and have never heard it before, and have been filling up with the same ethanol free gas as always. Fuel injectors ARE original but haven't given me any problems until now. Maybe overthinking it and just have something loose?
Getting up to 70mph is real rare in my neck of the woods so whether or not it's preexisting or freshly developed is beyond me, and it doesn't help I've never dealt with pinging before It was pretty loud, almost like it was coming from under the dash, but again I'm not really sure how loud pinging is. It's hard to judge by videos cause most of them have tons of wind noise (like mine lol)

I understand the feeling. My truck was down from the end of July to the end of October back in 2017 when it got totaled. With that in mind, maybe just go ahead and take the truck back with a standard hood and scratch the sport hood idea. Ultimately you gotta make that decision though.

Amazing till you want to take it off I used 3M's version in electrical industry.
What ever you cover wires etc. it will fuse to it eventually especially under warm hot conditions.
Trick is to wrap what your covering with electrical tape sticky side out first then this stuff,
here's to hoping this stuff is different.

I need to know, what kind of ATF to use for my '98 3.4L Automatic transmission. I have searched and searched, and cannot find a straight answer. The dipstick says "Dextron II". I cannot find Dextron II in any store...

I checked the level on the dipstick, and I had just got back from going to the store, level was just below 'cool'...which is obviously not good. My 4runner has 251K miles on it, and the fluid on it looks brownish...should I do a complete ATF change? I have never done that, I have never owned any toyotas before this one...
