Lol just right now i was reading an article describing the operation of the different types of hubs, and how the front differential works in conjunction with the 4WD system, and yes i checked that my 4R has an ADD, the hubs arent manual from what i can see, and well im not planning to tear down...

Okay well, thanks for your help guys, maybe you are right, well, ill search for a good honest mechanic then, but i appreciate all the information given by you helping me to understand and learn from my truck. Thank you!, i will read those articles you posted

Okay, well, i dont know how to lock the hub, the instrument panel, or manuals doesnt mention it, this truck has an auto transmission if that helps.., i have some tools that i could use for repairing basic stuff, if i had all the tools a mechanic has i could do the work all by myself because i...

Well first of all, the reason i want to use the 4WD on pavement first is because i want to test every component of the truck, since ill be using it in muddy terrain to get to the places where ill be working on, and well im not attempting to repair anything if they dont require to do so, i just...

Okay, i wont run it on pavement hehehe, ill try then going to a gravel lot or a place where the 4WD was designed for and i will read the owners manual to know where and how to use the 4WD, just for the record, this truck was not run in 4WD since we bought it (and we bought it 10 years ago), i...

Okay, well i wonder where is that CV shaft located and if i can repair or solve the problem :P

Hi again guys, well i managed to do a test drive with a partner, i told him to check if any of the wheels bind when i give a turn, or i move the steering wheel back and forth and he told me that none of the wheels were binding, im now suspecting that maybe the front differential is giving me...

Hi everybody, thanks for your replies, i really appreciate all the help you can give, okay, well yes im driving on pavement but its weird, if i drive in a straight line in 4WD mode it shifts fine and everything is fine, but just as soon as i start to turn in a corner i can hear knocking sounds...

Hello guys whats up?.. here i am, very disappointed this time :(, i managed to solve the idling problem myself and it turned out that it was the throttle body which was giving me so many problems, i cleaned the idle screw, removed hoses and cleaned all the dirt and now the engine is very happy...

Hi, well i removed the big vacuum hoses that were attached to the throttle body and well, what a surprise!, the hose that connects to the TB is cracked right below the pressure washer (the ring that secures the hose in), ill be getting one of those, as for the TB it wasnt very dirty but still i...

Finally.. Hi guys, good news, i finally fixed those vacuum hoses and the EGR Valve tube soldered, although it helped a little to get a pretty stable idle i managed to adjust the idle speed to aproximately 800 rpms (almost exactly between the 1000 rpm mark on the tachometer and the lower stripe...

What a shame :(, the hose is not broken but the nipple of the EGR Vacuum modulator is, there were some vacuum lines that were partially connected, so i secured those, i noticed that the EGR Valve metal tube has leaks, so im going to have that soldered by the end of the week, another thing i saw...

Hi, well i reset the ECU and its still giving me the code 21 heated oxygen sensor, i have a copy of the factory service manual so i can do my testing with the book at hand, i did test the igniter and coil and i got normal values comparing them to the specifications given by the manual, the air...

Hi!, thanks for taking the time to read my post (many other forums doesnt have the same attention as this one :D), well in this 92 4runner is hard, but i mean, VERY hard to check for a faulty injector (the 3VZ-E is a very puzzling engine in terms of checking stuff) the weird thing is that it...

Hi guys, its been a long time since i last logged in, i was working outside the country and went to Uganda (no internet there :P), so when i came back home my brother told me that my old 92 4runner (which i love hehehe) was repaired in the meantime when i was outside, the cylinder number 1 wasnt...
