OK, so here's an update for the archives. Dunno why I did things in the order that I did them, but this it:Replaced the TPS and test-drove the truck. No change.Ran 1/2 pint of Seafoam through the brake booster line and fumigated my entire town. No change.Replaced the fuel filter - oops, the...

Really? I ruled out the TPS based on the fact that there was no code set. Methinks it's just time to sell the bleedin' thing and move on. :p

Is there a particular line I'm better off using? Most times, I go for the brake booster line.

>sheepish grin< More like 20K. I'll add that to the list.

Can't hurt, I suppose. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

The fuel filter is new as of last summer (which doesn't mean that it isn't bad, necessarily - just less likely), but the air filter might be in need of some TLC, I guess. It's a K&N, but I don't think I've recharged it in the last 30K miles or so. Thanks for the reply. No CEL, BTW. I have an...

This board is on a really old version of vBulletin. Any thought given to upgrading? I'm not complaining; just posing the question. There are a lot of valuable features in the newer versions.

So, back in December of last year, I had my '96 SR5 poo out on me when a small leaf got burned onto the MAF wire. Don't ask me how this happened. I have no idea. The sensor was cleaned, and the truck ran again, so I didn't pay it any more mind. I'm commuting 100 miles a day with this thing...

I think I know what you meant, but for my own idle curiosity, are domestic owners not welcome here? I'm an automotive racing hobbyist who has owned both domestics and imports in the past; I really dislike snobbery on either side. No one likes a troll, right?

I'm relatively sure they only have paint that matches the exterior, but it never hurts to check out www.paintscratch.com.

That's OK. Thanks a lot for your help, Thai. I'll let everyone here know how it goes for me, and I'll be sure to post the answers to my own questions here for future members.

I decided I'm going to make it instead. :) Anyone know the dimension between the centerpoints of the bolts needed to hold the crank pulley?

I've called a couple of different places now and can't find anything fitting this description. Probably will need it. :) Anyone have any ideas/part numbers, etc.? I'd be greatly appreciative.

Very well-built for what I paid, and handles unbelievably well. Just enough utility to it to be useful. Got it out the door with A/T transmission for $14,100 with 3 miles on the odometer. I just wish it wasn't so bloody slow, you know? :) Very nice. That's exactly the kind of thing I've...

Hi, all. I'd been searching for a couple of years now for a meaningful bulletin board for other 4Runner owners; just found this place on Google. I own a '96 SR5 4WD, in addition to a '92 Talon TSi AWD and an '03 Mazda Protege5. The P5 is the daily driver, the 4Runner is the family hauler, and...
