Could you give us more information to what you mean by "stumble"? I know you said misfire, but how do the RPMs read around that range when you say it stumbles?

Hey all, I've got a 1999 Limited 4Runner I spent tonight reading through the internet to gather information on replacing the U joints and CV Ball Seat (I believe is what the ball between the 2 u joints are called?). The most recent informative post on this was from 2019 between Timmy the...

1999 3rd Gen :: Double Cardan U Joint / CV Ball Seat Hey Tim, I spent tonight reading through the internet to gather information on replacing the U joints and CV Ball Seat (I believe is what the ball between the 2 u joints are called?). The most recent informative post on this was from 2019...

The other indicator that made me refer to the the transmission is that it's be sweating and I see drips of pink (likely tranny) fluid coming from where the transmission mates with the transfercase :: also was talking to a technician at TSL Automotive in Tacoma, WA :: a Toyota specialist :: that...

Update :: got worse yesterday as I was limping it 50 mi back from eastern washington. Parked in front of family's house at the moment. Calling a few shops. Coolant temps got up to 215 F so I took two breaks after a few tiny hills. Timing belt has been around ~80,000 miles ago, so might be time...

Could be the CAT, Ill do some digging if I can make it back today. Problem got a whole lot WORSE a day after. I’m at -10% LTFT now trying to maintain 60mph on flat highway. Coolant was getting to 212F so I pulled over. She is so so tired all of a sudden gah. Idk if I should have her towed...

One more thing to note is that I've never had a sucking sound ever be present when engaging the throttle body manually with my thumb. Weird that it even comes from the back towards the firewall and even more alarming that my engine doesn't increase in rpms as it would normally when I flick the...

On even slight inclines, I feel like I have no umph. Yesterday, I go over this overpass in Washington (Snoqualmie) and from overdrive it drops to 3rd (where normally it'd have plenty of power), now pedal almost on floor, it's giving me almost nothing, rpms won't budget at 2,500 rpm / 3rd gear, I...

Yo! Wild finding this thread with my exact issue from 10 years prior. Did you ever end up figuring this out? Was it the solenoid? I'm running into the same issue in 3rd when I'm going up a mountain pass or hill :: I have no codes or CEL. Sits at ~2,500 rpm even when I'm stomping on the gas in...

1999 limited 4Runner, 3.4L w/ 230,xxx miles :: I'm at a loss of words when the shop I left my beloved at in Hailey Idaho says after minimal testing that it is just a mechanical problem without explaining much in their writeup. Previous Symptoms: no whirring, clunking or loud sounds coming from...

GEARING information discrepancy in 1999 Limited with e-locker I've been ripping my hair out this evening trying to figure this out. Most posts and databases are not confident that Limited 99's with the e-lockers are geared to 4.30--such as this post saying "(usually)" by the gearing...

3rd Gen T4R - REAR AXLE Replacement Tutorial? Hey all, I'm curious if someone could lead me to a post, guide, or video on here or YT that would guide me through replacing the rear axle on my 1999 Limited 4Runner. Furthermore, which rear axles are compatible with my 4runner. On FB marketplace...

3rd Gen T4R - REAR AXLE Replacement Howdy everyone, I'm curious, is there a rear axle replacement video or guide on here or YT? I'm back again, but this time a larger question - recently got in a wreck with my 1999 4Runner Limited 4x4 e-locker (at this point I'm just putting everything here...

Turns out it was alright, I had a seal on that sight that went out but I replaced that promptly the next month after installation.

3rd gen - CV Axle replacement issue Howdy everyone, I am just now having an issue while replacing one of my cv axles on my 1999 4runner. I’ve installed the new cv axle that’s from autozone as youtube videos have instructed but am running into the issue of the inside end of the half shaft...
