IAC = Idle Air Controller? ETC = ??

For what it's worth, I do think this type of issue can be solved much easier than most of the threads I found that have you switching coil packs around and such. Not that that's time consuming, but here's what I did: I put new spark plugs in first since that needed to be done anyway, and also...

I'm assuming there's a cold start injector that makes up the difference when its first starting up. I have the same problem, runs ok when cold, then settled into the misfire. All plugs look the same so my guess is injector or injectors. I'll have to look for that test next. Sent from my...

Hi all, After reading through a lot of misfire threads, I wonder if mine won't be a little easier to diagnose than I thought. These things are never simple, so I'm hoping my thought process is at least a simple way of ruling something out. I scanned for codes and found misfire in cylinder #6...

We have a dog too, but he has more room than anyone!

If anyone is willing, I'd love to see a picture of what's worked.

Interesting stuff to consider guys, thanks so much for the feedback! I'll have to look into the Diono options to see what would fit. We currently have a 4 year old and a 5 month old, so I'd be looking at two rear-facing seats for a while. I don't want to replace the seats I already have, but...

Hey all, haven't posted much since it seems anything I ever need to know has been covered, and unfortunately I think I know the answer the this one already but maybe there's a solution: We're talking about having a third kid and as luck would have it I only just found my '98 last fall. Looking...

Cool, we'll definitely have to try and meet up at some point, I'm sure there are others around the cities? I tend to go to cars and coffee when it's happening if you ever head out for that. This thread has pictures of some nice forest trails, nothing too crazy, but it isn't so far away in SE...

Thanks for the nice comments, I wish I knew how great it is to own a 4Runner sooner, I'd have never bothered with the Audi wagon this replaced! You're in Minneaoplis? Where? I'm in Nordeast. I may be looking for some forest roads or something for camping next summer, let me know if you know...

I've been lurking since the summer when I found my T4R, I think it's time for an introduction. I'm a big car guy and have always had an extra car in the garage for projects, but this is actually going to be my new daily driver/kid/dog/parts/camping stuff/Home Depot/whatever hauler. I've always...
