    rough idle when stopped but in drive.....

    I realize this is an old thread but I thought I would add some knowledge I gained from a good friend who is a Toyota mechanic. He says that when you wait too long on tuning a 3rd generation 3.4 the gap on the plugs will grow and the coil packs have to work harder. This can cause a misfire and...

    Supercharger question, but not...

    I have a dealer installed Supercharger on my 99 4Runner. There is no difference in the pistons. The basic Supercharger gives you about 70 more HP over the stock 3.4. My understanding is the 7th injector adds another 10% to that. It is dramatic. I shock little ricer boys all the time... No loss...

    99 parts 96 runner

    I have a 99 with a Supercharger and I don't have the seventh injector set up but let me give you a wild ass guess... I don't think it will work. My reasoning is that the seventh injector is tied into the ECU to fire at WOT. I would guess the 2nd gen 4Runner has a different ECU. Besides, my...

    Batt drain on Dome Circuit on a 2K 4runner

    I noticed something yesterday that might be relevent. My '99 4Runner has a sticker inside the engine room fuse box telling the dealer to remove the sticker after installing the dome light fuse which was left off to avoid battery drain. My sticker just never got removed. Seems it is an expected...

    Reset check engine light

    I had a check engine light which was accompanied by pretty obvious ignition issues, miss on acceleration etc. I bought a used coil pack ($35) and did a trial and error replacement (it was the number 1 so I got it right the first time). Engine is running fine but the dealer wants $110 to reset...

    3.4 supercharged

    I put my Supercharger on at 70K miles. I just turned 160K yesterday. I have had no problems whatsoever. I use it to tow my race car trailer on weekends and my boat. Before the Supercharger I had trouble getting to 60mph with the boat on the back. Now, I have to remember the trailer is there or...

    coil on plug

    I had a check engine light and some hesitation diagnosed by a friend with a code reader and it came out a bad coil. He switched a couple of the coils around and came up with "a bad number one coil". My question is which coil is the number one? I have looked around to see if I can find a...
