It sometimes takes a long time to get all the air out of a flushed power steering system. Maybe you are still dealing with that or low fluid issue.

During some of the cold nights (below 20f) the 4runner has no brakes. The pedal is hard and the truck wont stop.

But usually pulling the parking brake or pumping the brakes restores full breaking. Feels like a vacuum issue. With a bit of research I saw people having a problem similar to mine that was fixed by replacing the brake booster vacuum valve. So that's what I did!

Current miles: 259153

New valve on the left.

A sad day.



Today my 4runner let me down. It started fine this morning, drove me to where I needed to go, but when I came out a few hours later, it wouldnt start.

Sounds like its not getting spark? I can smell gas when I crank it.

Oh well. It's being towed to the mechanic.

I went out to check on it since the tow was taking way long, and it started! I first tried at 9am, then at 1pm it started and ran fine.

I drove it to the mechanic, he is going to drive it for a few days and see how it behaves. But when he checked it today he wasn't able to find any codes, weird fuel pressures issue, or anything else.

Mechanic was able to reproduce the issue, it was infact the fuel pump!

OEM parts ordered.


This feels appropriate:

Glad you got it figured out, I was thinking it was the fuel pump also, but held my tongue in case I was wrong.

Nice meme though!
