2007 4.7 power loss?
Greetings team. Long time member, 4th 4Runner (1997, 2004, 2017, 2007).
Just purchased the below a few weeks ago. All maintenance below was done to get a baseline. I’m not new to working on vehicles, but am by no means an expert.
Vehicle: 2007 4.7 4wd 146000 miles
Maintenance this past weekend. All fluid weight (amsoil used) and spark plugs per manufacturer recommendations. Spark plugs bought from local advanced auto.
Saturday
- front and rear differential drain and fill
- transfer case drain and fill
- engine oil drain and fill
(All straightforward, no issues)
- transmission drain and fill: messed up temp check procedure but fixed prior to driving (forgot to ensure vehicle was on when in temp range)
Sunday
- spark plugs changed (didn’t check gap but were supposed to be gauged, all coils “popped” on, double checked all vacuum lines secured)
- MAF cleaned (MAF cleaner used)
- throttle body cleaned (TB cleaner used. Didn’t remove, manually moved butterfly)
- removed the top layer filter in engine air filter housing (can’t remember name)
- disconnected battery for about 5 minutes once complete
- Upon initial start after Sunday maintenance, car cranked for several seconds and didn’t start. Cranked again and started. No starting issues since.
- Very high idle initially, ~1800-2000. Normal from what I can gather. Idle worked its way down since and is in normal operating range. - - - Engine sounds fine (minus the whine from a tensioner pulley or alternator, will change that in the coming weeks), no knocking/ misfire, etc.
- Monitoring gas mileage but no noticeable change.
Problem: Not sure if it’s in my head but the vehicle just doesn’t seem to have any power now. It feels slow, not as responsive, and doesn’t seem to have the same low end torque.
- How long does it take for the computer to reset?
- Anything I could have missed/ messed up? If “problem” is still present this weekend I guess I’ll pull the plugs and verify the gap.
I don’t remember this being an issue on my 04’ when I did the same exact reset maintenance.
Thanks for your time and input.
Kody
