Hi, I've got a 2000 4runner that has the factory trailer wiring. The issue I'm having is the left turn is not working on it (I've checked it with a tester.). When I hook it up to my trailer I get all my normal lighting for the right light (tail, stop, turn) but nada for the other. I'm...

Well, that's pretty much what my research so far has found. I did find a complete Bosal set (both cats and pipe) that looked ok in the pics. Have read very little about them. I wish I could at least get the Toyota's for 1k. I wouldn't like it but at least I wouldn't feel like I was being...

Hi, My 2000 4Runner needs cats. Have replaced the rear o2 sensor with 3 different ones and still get p0420. The one I found direct from Toyota is right around 2k for everything! I'm not in California but want to get a compatible long lasting replacement that my sensors/Computer will like...

I did read that a couple of times. It sure can't hurt to try that! Thanks for the reminder!

It's something that doesn't happen all the time and it's difficult to pinpoint when it does as it happens when it's cold, or it's been running for a while and then won't happen again for a few days. What happens is when I turn the key all the lights come on as normal but the starter doesn't...

Well, I changed my plugs and PCV valve and now I'm no longer have the problem! The odd thing was the back 2 spark plugs on the driver's side (Which are a bit hard to access) were only in a bit better than finger tight. Not wobbly but zero effort to get them out. The plugs actually looked ok...

Quite a few miles since the plug/plug wire change. I'm planning on changing them this weekend. Didn't know that about the egr though I would have found out once I started searching for parts I suppose.

I've got a 2000 4runner v6 4wd that had been running fine till it started getting cold. When I first start it up in the morning it starts fine, idles fine, drives good till I get to the highway and when I start to quickly accelerate at around 45mph or so it sort of stumbles/misses a couple of...

I'll give that a shot. Tks...

Just sent you a PM. I've got the wiring harness you need. Plug and play...

Nada, zilch, nothing...no joy at all when I turn it on. It lights up but no one is home. I'm sort of assuming it may have come unplugged from the window. I checked the defroster lines and they're perfect. So, how do I access this connection? Do I need to have the rear window rolled all the...

Hmm, never thought about AAA. I suppose that's worth a shot since I pay for the premium membership.

Ditto on the timing belt and might as well do the water pump, thermostat and all your belts and hoses! I've always had good luck with Crutchfield for car stereos. You get all the adapters and instructions specific for your vehicle which helps quite a bit. They have good tech guys too if you...

yeah, I see it's at an odd angle too but at least you can get to it. I did notice I could sorta get to mine from the fender mud guard but I couldn't get a good enough grip or get the wrench in there. I had to go through the bottom and one hand up through the fender mud guard. At least if I do...

We must have been responding about the same time! Yeah, I'm leaning toward the ecu flash but I wish I could find it done cheaper as paying $300 just to get a couple of spare keys kinda eats at me...
