Had the 4runner in for inspection at my local garage. He said the steam was due to Valve Seals gone bad (dried up), and that could also make it run rough. He also said that there is no way to fix it other than take the engine apart. I am relieved that its not the head gasket. It runs a...

I have only seen the steam twice, and it was only when starting up, temperature was around 32 F (freezing). The steam seems to go away after the engine is warm. The engine is running rough too. The #1 cylinder seems to be the culprit, even though it is getting spark. Removing the plug...

My 1995 4runner ( v6, 3vze) had been sitting for about 8 months because of a fuel line leak. I finally got around to fixing the fuel line. Started it up and seemed OK. Drove it a couple days, and then one morning I noticed some steam from exhaust. Didn't think too much of it, as it stopped...

thanks guys, its raining today, so probably wont try it, but I'm hoping I may be able to fix it without taking it out.

I have a gas leak in my 95. I think it's coming from the top area of the tank. ( sender unit ? , gas line ?) I don't think its the tank itself. Also, it leaks worse when its running. Is there any way to access or see the top of the tank, without dropping the tank itself ? maybe an...

its a 95, oops - I'm in the wrong area aren't I ?, its a 2nd gen I'll have to see if theres anything in the local junkyard, I hate salt on roads (:

can you please elaborate on the G144 .vs. ? thanks

congrats, thats a lot of vehicle for the money !!!

thanks for the idea, haven't had to use AC much lately, I will give that a shot

tried the A\C in my 95 4r and it works, however, when going uphill (putting foot into gas pedal) a fairly loud squeel or bearing noise is made. It lasts only a second or two then goes away. any ideas: belt ? bearing ? thanks in advance

1995 3.0 Auto : 've noticed that when I start up my 4Runner in the morning the left tail light is not working(off). When I get to work, I look, and it is working (on) Any ideas ? thanks

pay a visit to your local junkyard, lots of old 4runners being retired these days, lots of parts available

I think there may be access to starter bolts via the wheel well.

Did you junk it yet ? If not - how are the Spark Plug wires ? Were they ever replaced ? Thanks!!!
