"Experience" huh? Imagine that conversation. "Boss, in my past I know how to fix this but it's stuff I shouldn't really be putting out there". "oh come on jimmy, he's desperate..." "ok I'll do it" When you say dead pedal do you mean the clutch? I did see a black box thing underneath...

When I looked thru the fuse box beside the battery, I took the battery out. I strongly feel your assumption of a short somewhere is accurate. I charged the battery good yesterday. Today it is drained again. In your opinion what may make it short and not start? It turns over and has full...

Thanks for your help BigSlim. I have a box under my seat as well. I strongly do believe the alarm issue has been fixed and it is another electric issue. I will definitely have a glance at the box tomorrow just to make sure.

I looked and looked for it, as did my wife. No luck. I did manage to reset manually though (I believe). I saw a post on here about resetting with tripping the locks and turning the key. Still no luck. The two things that stump me is it being distributor-less and EFI. I cant...

Thank you much Bill I have looked and looked for a reset button. I did not locate one. In the '96 apparently the reset is on the drivers side/by where you put your left foot. I looked but all I found is where two wires had been cut (perhaps where someone had the same thing happened and bi...

I have been coming on here the last two years doing research on primarily tune up and maintenance related issues but now I actually need to ask for help in a matter. Last week my wife went to drive my SR5 into town. It has the 5vz (V6) motor (1996) with 195,000 trouble free miles. She had...

I had originally written a long hello, a little about self and my truck, but my connection was lost and that post went with it. So in a nutshell- I have been using your site for sometime since becoming a 4runner owner. Even simple jobs like spark plugs. I have a '96 SR5 with 195,000 on it...
