Well over a week now. No lights.. Very encourage I have fooled that damn computer for good.

I was reading this thread. I already have a disable button that looks factory. Maybe the earlier 3rd generations did not have this option, and people have to ad switches to disable? Or maybe they are adding another switch to disable the VSC in addition to the traction control? I will likely...

Over a 100 miles trip yesterday. Lights still out. The truth of the matter is I would like to see that stupid Trac VAC stuff gone completely, now that I found it what it does. My Son who is the Parts manager at our local Toyota.GM dealership showed me what it does yesterday. His 4runner has it...

I have no idea what this amazing Trac and VSC is doing for me other than making annoying lights come. But I have drove Vehicles for over 50 years now, models from the 1950s to the 1980s, that did not have all this crap. And somehow, believe it or not, I survived. People talk about Cats going...

Thanks. Replacing the cats is never going to be in the equation. I would assume the replacement cats would cost way more the 700.00 I paid for it. No way can I justify that on an older vehicle with 195,000 miles on it. If this does not work. I will find another way other than cat replacement.

Went a whole day yesterday with anti fouler installed. No lights yet. But it is probably just a matter of time again. I am praying they do not. This is all actually pretty traumatic on me. When I come to signal light , and the light changes to yellow. I panic and it makes me look down to see if...

OK I went down to the store and bought one of the sparkplug anti foulers. I bought the long one and put it in. That way I did not have to drill it out. If I have to get a short one and drill it I will. But we will see what the longer ones does first. I will let you how it is going. If they...

Thanks. My sensor comes right out. I already had it out. My 4runner fortunately spend the majority of its life down in FL and GA so it is very, very rust free throughout. I am going to look into the sparkplug extender option too, or whatever they called.. Those I can maybe get right her at the...

I live in Nebraska. No inspections here. I just want the lights off by whatever means will work. How does this spacer work? Buying expensive new cats for my 700.00 4runner is not an option at all.

OK sad update. Wasted alot of time typing the first post, and more time trying to figure this out. They came on again. Getting really frustrated here. Will keep looking for more ideas. But in the meantime, I am going to try to reset the Computer a few times. Maybe it will take a few cycles to...

Thanks. I did start a new thread on the dash light issues. Code I think was P0420 The thread explains what I did and what I think fixed it. It was exhaust leak related I believe.

OK. I just bought this 2002 4unner SR5 2wd. It runs beautiful. But I was getting the dreaded CEL, TRC and VAC lights in the dash. I think the code I was getting was a P0420 if I remember right. First I fell for the gas cap one. Reset the codes. Came on again shortly. Then I fell for the...

I am not great searching. But I do not think I found anything that said for 2wd specifically on Rock Auto. If you would be kind enough to get me a link to 2wd ones for sure..I would appreciate it.. Not sure why it is so hard to find shocks for a 2002 4runner 2wd. I can buy them anywhere for my...

There are no OEM shocks available though. Toyota discontinued them. Where do I get OEM ones at for a 2wd..They do not seem to exist.? Someone let me know if you have a source. I tried my local dealer. And Olathe Toyota too. They both said discontinued. Thanks Here is the original part number...

Thanks I am using stock shocks. I do NOT want to change anything from stock, nor do I want any lift. That is exactly what I am trying to avoid by using my stock 2wd springs with the 4wd shocks I have. I will remove and install the shocks that came with the 4wd ready to drop in assemblies into...
