1986 4runner 22rte automatic. So I recharged my previously retrofited r134 ac system it worked great and got very cold, but it all leaked out over night. I asume the previous retrofit was just charge fitting and easter oil to make it compatible with r134. I didn't use the uv leak detector dye...

Hello. My throttle body is sticking, it's too old 341k mi old! So I want to replace it with a newer used one, they are obviously built to last. But I have the turbo 22ret. I know for sure that the lower intake manifold has slight differences, like the position of the thermostat housing. BUT WHAT...

Normal? Really? I guess moisture in the air could get sucked in through the valve cover by the PVC vacuum.. But I do hear a deisel like sound, at low rpm, louder when cold. But I thought it might be coming from the exhaust elbow after the turbo, because one of the studs is has broken off causing...

I haven't taken the valve cover off because the rubber holders have harden and seem stuck, I'll have to shred them. (are replacements hard to get?) But I've been checking the oil cap often, I see condensation under the cap, (whitetish haze) on super short drives. When I drive around more and...

I had the same issue, but not on my 4runner. It was on my CRX. Intermittent click no start, changed starter, relay, wires. A week would go by with out a problem then click no start for a few minutes, it was SO bad that I had a wire permanently attached to the starter solenoid, so I could touch...

I went through a similar issue when I first got my 4runner, checked everything swapped out a couple TPS and no change, so after the second TPS swap I was test driving it and pulled over, took a really good look at my gas pedal and decided to reach in with my hand and pulled on it! To my complete...

Hello everyone. When I got my 4runner 4 years ago ('86 turbo w/341,xxx miles now) it had a head job done. No receipts, but the head did look like a new casting, not just painted silver. I'm now noticing condensation under the oil cap, so I'm actively venting the oil cap and not driving the...

??? don't know what your talking about??? first gen?

I will definitely be cutting, the whole reason why I'm getting it is to cut rust patches for my 4runner. I've been waiting for 2 weeks now, I hope this happens before Christmas.

I don't know when I will be cleared, the DMV is seriously backed up by the budget cuts. But do like topless87 and make a wish list, because once it's mine I will have to part it out lightning quick or pass it on as a leftovers parts truck to some one local.

can't get that info yet, it's in the police part of the lot. I'm going to assume it's a v6.

I only need one of those grey pieces that go around the top, The 4r hasn't been cleared by the DMV yet, wating for the call.

I may get a parts 4runner this week end. It's silver with a black top, with the Quarter windows on the doors. It's in a impound lot, so I don't have all the info yet. What are the parts worth keeping or selling? What would sell quicker? I myself have been looking for the rear bumper corners for...

That's exactly what I'm wanting to do. I've seen the decals under the clear coat on newer bikes, thinking technology may be advanced enough to allow for this. The jet ski is a good example too, I might do it.:lightsaber:

All good points, maybe I'll do some masking to imitate the decals w/actual paint instead, 87 style is mostly lines. Thanks
