My 2000 4 runner idles at 1800 RPM when cold. Idles at 800-900 when warm with A/C off. I have no codes on engine and passed California smog. Any ideas what’s wrong? Thanks Dave

I am installing a JDM 3.4L and need to move the oil filter to a forward spot. I can remove the bolt from the forward plate but don’t know how the plate is to be removed. Un screwed? Pops off? Any help would be appreciated. Dave

It’s the original engine that has this round part with 2 water hoses that run to it. The newer replacement engine does not have this part. Also the water pump is different. The old water pump has the exit that runs to the round can. The new engine does not have the exit hose. Could the new...

I purchased MotorWest rebuilt Fuel Injectors and need grease ideas for the O-Rings. The Toyota parts man told me to use white Lithium grease.

Here’s the photo I found to use’s.

Thanks so much for the information. I will give it a try and report back. Dave

Do you mean the test port that it’s under the hood? I found B+. Are saying to just ground it out and the fuel pump will run? Thanks Dave

I have fuel leakage from the injectors to the fuel railings. 4 or 5 of them are leaking. I would like to replace the bad O-rings and then test out the fuel railings and pressure prior to putting the whole upper engine back together and again finding out it’s still leaking. Is there anyway to...

I purchased and installed a rebuilt set of injectors from rock auto. All of them are leaking from the fuel rails. They are the correct parts I believe. Any ideas on where to get the next set from? These are going back! They must have old/bad top O rings.
