    My 97 4runner died.

    Thanks, I will have to check that. The pump isn't running when I turn the key on. I pulled the back seat out, found the access hole and hooked the pump up to 12 volts. The pump runs like it should, and while it was running, I tried to start it up. Darn thing still won't start. While the...

    Mushy brakes!

    No, but that is a good idea. No leaks, so I guess I will try to adjust. thanks

    Is there an access hole in the 3rd Gen 4runner to get to the fuel pump ?

    ...or do you have to drop the tank ? I think my pump is out. I loosened the fuel line fitting and turned the key on. Gas should be spraying out, but there is nothing. All the fuses are good.

    My 97 4runner died.

    Well, today I verified I had spark (took a spare plug, hooked it up to ground and cranked it) ....it is sparking pretty good like it should. Next, I loosened the fuel line fitting and then had someone turn the ignition on. No gas... no pressure :confused: I climbed under the vehicle and...

    My 97 4runner died.

    Re: Same problem on my T100 Thanks ! I don't think it would be vacuum lines since I pulled the truck out of the garage, washed it, started back up, pulled in and then a day later it wouldn't start. Funny thing, the check engine light came on about 1,000 miles before this happened, but it...

    My 97 4runner died.

    I tried it again last night and it seemed to kick for a second but never fully took off and started. I think the compression is ok which should rule out the T-belt. I am thinking now maybe it is a fuel system problem.....maybe the fuel pump or something else??? The other thing which is...

    3.4L engine .... interference or non interference type ?

    Thanks. It doesn't sound abnormal. I had a belt go on a Honda before and I know what you mean about no compression. I wonder if there is an ignition module that typically goes bad with these 4runners? I checked all the fuses out and they are ok.

    My 97 4runner died.

    Nobody has a clue here? :confused: I pulled all the ignition fuses, the EFI fuse and everything critical to the engine function, but all that seems ok. It has to either be fuel, spark or timing. I guess spark would be an easy first test. Fuel, I am not so sure. I can say I've ever heard...

    Mushy brakes!

    I have never been able to get a good feel in the brakes on my 3 Gen 4runner. I bought a new master cylinder, bench bled it and then bled the whole system after it was installed. The improvement was just marginal. I have all that antilock crap on there and think that may be part of the...

    3.4L engine .... interference or non interference type ?

    I think my timing belt went out to lunch because my 97 4runner won't start anymore. I am not 100% sure that is what is wrong, but it is dead and won't even try to fire. Does anyone know if these are interference or non interference motors? :confused:

    What are some good manuals for diagnosing problems?

    I imagine Toyota's manual is pretty good, are there any others? How about on-line help as far as problems and how to repair? Thanks.:)

    My 97 4runner died.

    I went out to start it this morning and it wouldn't start. I usually only hit the starter for about 1 second and it starts, but this time it just turned over without starting. :confused: I tried again and it sounded like it was going to kick for a second but didn't. This is weird because it...

    How do you reset the check engine light on a 97 3.4L Toyota

    Thanks, pulling the fuse worked. :)

    I can barely get my hood closed even when it is slammed pretty hard

    There seems to be no easy adjustments on it and it is ridiculous how hard you have to slam it to get it to shut. Is this a common thing with 4runners? Mine is a 97. :confused:
