Well you will want to get a mechanic's manual first. Haynes or Chilton's at minimum. It isn't difficult and it really depends on which injector you have to replace. The previous owner had the dealer replace the #3 injector and a month later the #4 was giving the error code. I chose to replace...

Since the CEL comes on, it would be best for you to invest in a code reader. I bought my 1999 4Runner a couple of months ago and it had a very similar problem. Severe front end shake when stopped. The reader said it was a Cyl 4 misfire and I ended up replacing the fuel injector to fix it.

I just purchased this vehicle a few weeks ago. Yes, there is a dent in the back hatch. Like someone backed into something. No scratches or paint removal like you would expect with a high energy impact. Yes, I think this would be my issue. Thanks Gamefreak.

I just noticed my rear hatch doesn't always latch completely. I think my hatch struts are pretty much shot and I am looking to replace them. On mine, I think the struts may be causing a misalignment if I don't put even pressure on each end of the door. That is to say, it doesn't always latch...

I'm not really qualified to answer this, but a clue resides in your question. Many folks seem pretty convinced that aftermarket items, particularly suspension parts are taboo. Since you state the original part lasted 16 years and a new aftermarket part lasted only 1 year, it would be wise to...

That seems like a good deal. I just spent $299 for six from Five0 motorsports.

Just got this 1999 SR5 (2wd) last week. 188,000 mi

Thank you for this information. I can't do the work myself, but I do want to make it easier for the installer by making sure it is literally a 'bolt in' operation with components that are well matched. I think I will go with a kit and have the LBJ's replaced at the same time.

I would like to freshen up the suspension on my 1999 4runner. It is 2wd and was wondering if the OME96024R from ToyTech would be a good option. With front/ rear springs and shocks/ struts for $980. I was thinking of Bilstein 4600's, but this looks like a complete kit. I don't want to add much...

<Fiveomotorsport.com> Paid $49.99 ea. These are remanufactured, not new injectors. Maybe that's why O'Reilly's have a higher price?

1999 T4R, 2wd. Replaced 6 fuel injectors (reman from Five'O'). Replaced battery with an Optima 800 CCA size 34R. I just purchased this truck last week. It was running extremely rough due to a cyl 4 misfire (P0304 code). The fuel injector has an open circuit, so I replaced all of them. Toyota...

I just got a T4R a few days ago and ordered some parts to start wrenchin' so I can go truckin'. Misfire in cyl 4, makes for some rough idling. I ordered new (reman) injectors and ignition coils to smooth it out. The tires have 100k miles on them, so they need to be replaced. I want to do the...
