My daughter stated that it hasn't happened again this week. Not sure if that assists you guys in troubleshooting or it simply makes this a "dancing frog," haha.

Hey guys, My daughter has a 2000 with an auto trans that we had to swap for a lower milage trans due to a torque converter issue that was pricier than the low milage trans. It shifts harder than she remembers now, and stalled the other day in an intersection. I have been pondering what it could...

Found this... not sure why I wouldn't get a misfire code, but I can Ohm them regardless. Coil Pack Testing for 2000 4R 3.4L?

Wow, now that's another possibility. Did it throw engine light or codes? How did you diagnose it?

Yeah, I have had MAF issues with my oldest daughter on her Chevy (that car sucked as a reliable vehicle and somehow destroyed them, along with transmission issues (don't get me started)). This one always looks fairly clean and I hit it with a short blast of MAF sensor cleaner every few years...

I thought, and hoped, the same thing so I told her to drive it a few times, then let me know how its running.

I replaced the Idle Control Valve and she drove it and noticed it not stalling, but still hunting a bit at lights while the break is on in drive/stopped/idle. So it is better, but is there anything else I should look into? Thanks so much guys!!

I recently (last year) replaced the valve cover gaskets, wires and plugs. I pulled a few wires/boots and plugs and checked them and they are dry and look good.

Where did you get it? Thanks in advance!

I believe I gapped them correctly prior to the installation of the last set, but I will pull a few and check that; THANKS!!

Hey guys, My daughter's 2000 2WD is having stalling issues at stoplights. There is no codes that my Foxwell can find. She does have on her AC all the time, so that probably exacerbates the issue of stalling, but the issue is an issue regardless and it needs to be repaired. We regularly do...

Yeah, I thought those might be the issue as well, cleaned 'em before, but it's been a while. Question: when I clean them I also run some seafoam through the motor via the brake booster vac line. That also something you do? If so, should I do the MAF/IAC pre or post foam? I think I always did...

So my daughters '00 4Runner stalled twice tonight when she stopped at red lights. I guess tomorrow is diagnosis time, thought I'd ask you guys what I should be looking for as I start my investigation. Basics: 300K Scheduled maintenance No idiot light on Starts and Drives typically until...

The right rear bearing was coming apart and a few pieces were even found in the rear end oil that was evacuated and flushed. It's all back together with all new parts at and around the wheel bearings left and right side. The clicking is gone, but the whirl vibration at highway speed hasn't...

It's not the driveshaft, or so says a Toyota mechanic that checked it out for my daughter when she had it at a friends house. She told me he stated it is "either a wheel bearing or the rear end." She said he heard a clicking when either wheel spun when he had the rear of the truck elevated. She...
