Hello all, I am wondering how neccessary the charcoal canister is? My situation is that i broke the plastic end off the vacuum connector behind the intake so now I can't connect the purge end of the charcoal canister. The new part is very expensive like 260$ and there aren't any scrap yards...

UPDATE 4Runner lives! I just wanted to post an update, after replacing a ton of hoses and hose clamps, a few gaskets getting the injectors cleaned and draining and cleaning the tank, the 4Runner started right up. I can't be sure what actually was the problem which sucks but I am happy I have it...

Not fuel injectors I know its taken me some time to get around to it but I pulled the intake off and removed the fuel rails with injectors. I took the injectors into a shop where there tested and cleaned them in ultrasonic bath, their tests indicate that although they weren't perfect they...

Thanks again 4reak show, looks like I have some work to do. You've been very helpful much more so than help I've paid for. Hopefully I'll have some good news next time I post.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I should have mentioned it is the 3vZe. 350 000 kms when I bought it, the lady that sold it to me told me that the top end was rebuilt 20 000km ago due to low compression on 2 cyl, service records I obtained from toyota confirm this. I like the direction of...

Hello all, I am really hoping i can find help on this forum. I will try to keep it short. As the title states my 4runner suddenly started misfiring one day when I was out on a logging road so bad that I could not make it up the hills to get home causing my to pay for a $400 tow home. Several...
