I have a feeling that dropping the tank is like any other thing where you just gotta use the right tools and know what you're in for, but I'm still in the place where I've never done it unfortunately. I'm remembering the first time I ever did my own brake pads. First side took 2 hours. Second...
Man, that's rough! Did you get the denso injectors from Motor West or have yours rebuilt? Also, I'm curious, when you get the 4Runner to start do you have a rough idle? Threatens to stall? That first time I turn the key I don't have any issue cranking. It's keeping it running that's my issue.
oh no I definitely accept it could be the injectors and the flooding makes sense with the symptoms along with my shit gas mileage. I'd much rather replace injectors than deal with dropping the tank, but for all I know right now, the injectors and the pump are both causing problems.
It's been a...
Mine is running between the upper and lower plenum.
If I shut off the engine and crank again shortly after that, it fires back up without an issue. I'm not sure exactly what my time limit is before it's too late, but if I wait ~20 minutes (time to run in and out of a store) I'm likely to be...
Thanks for the reply!
It seems to never get over 33 PSI, at least not while idling in my driveway. There's definitely something wrong with the pump, but there's also a leak somewhere.
It's unlikely that it's leaking injectors and it's even less likely that it's my brand new FPR.. so I'm...
I've had an ongoing fuel pressure, heat soak, vapor lock issue for way too long. I work from home and don't drive the 4Runner much, but when I do I'm always running the risk of being stranded, especially when I need to drive for 30+ minutes and the destination isn't my driveway.
I think I'm...
Here's the 2000 as it sits with the OE Limited 16s and 265/75 Cooper Discoverer RTXs, OME ~2.5-3ish inch lift, and 1.25" spacers.
Should be getting the new (to me) wheels and tires today and hopefully I'll find the time to go get them mounted. Will be GX470 wheels and 285/70 Cooper AT3s...
been having issues but to get straight to the point I got my throttle body out today and removed my IAC valve.
I'm guessing when I shake the IAC in my hand I should not hear a rattling sound. Correct?
Had the rear axles out so I was trying to do the best, (I thought), I could. Thank you for that info though.
So it's possible the defect vs owner's fault "test" is bs?
Well shit I tested it and it read ~5.5V
I called batteries plus who confirmed I bought it in 2021, older than I realized but still within the warranty period I guess. They said I had to bring it in to test it and confirm whether or not it's defective or wasn't properly maintained. Any idea...
hoping for some battery/starter related direction before I start poking around
My 2000 sat for nearly 2 months if not more, during which I crank it up a few times besides the last 2 or 3 weeks and then I got in it yesterday and it won't start. Not a peep. I charged the battery ~18 hours (LED...
Working on the rear axle seal replacement and replacing everything else I can while I'm at it. I'm not sure what I'm looking for exactly with the grease test..

did I push the abs gear and retainer on too far?
