What is the HCF? This one I have never done. I did the MAF last year I just need to go buy some more electronic spray.

Hmm... this is where I get worried. I never know if the mileage I'm getting is correct, something is wrong with my car, etc. My local toyota place always scam's me and I feel like I can never trust their diagnosis.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Nice to find people with some valuable input!! I filled up today from a quarter tank to a full tank. Ended up putting in only 14 gallons ( I thought i'd be putting in more) which brought my average to around 13.3 gallons for this tank. My idle is definetely...

2004 Toyota 4Runner V8 Sport Edition here. 65,000 miles Been getting really bad gas mileage again lately and I wanted to get any input as to whether it seems "normal" or I may actually have some problems. I get about 200-225 miles per tank in the winter and maybe 280-290 in the summer. I...

Wanted to chime in... I feel I am getting just horrible gas mileage but maybe that is just me. I have a 2004 V8 Sport Edition with all-season tires on it. My computer says I get about 15.2mpg but so far I have driven around 168 miles from a full tank and am at about 1/4 of a tank. This is...

Just to bump... Took it in again on thursday and the tech said he thought the CV Joint was looking loose. I have an appt Monday morning for the master technician to look at it. Make sense with my symptoms or are they just blowing smoke?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I have another appointment tomorrow to see if they can locate. Other things to add that may help... Noise stops when I push the brake lightly noise still occurs even if I shift into neutral while driving noise still occurs no matter if I have my foot on the...

Yes. Nothing was found. I also have not had any decrease in air pressure in the last week or two. (check it weekly) This would lastly make sense with the fact that the noise is "random" some days and others it does not occur. I want to say that when I brake to stop, my car gives off the thunk...

I would say it occurs shortly after starting the car up... I drive mainly in town and so haven't the car ever on to long. I did not notice the problem in the winter but I only got it towards the end of winter. Sorry that is not much help

VIDEO0002 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! ^^ That noise keeps seeming to be random that my 4Runner is making EDIT: Should have added. 2004 Toyota 4Runner SE with about 65,000 miles on it symptoms are: Happens between 5-35mph (mainly town driving) seems to reverberate loudest when I am driving by...

VIDEO0002 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! ^^ That noise keeps seeming to be random that my 4Runner is making symptoms are: Happens between 5-35mph (mainly town driving) seems to reverberate loudest when I am driving by cars parked on the side of the road (possibly means its at wheel well level?)...

Thanks for all the advice guys. Drove a fair amount of highway lately and averaged around 15.5mpg in the winter. I think this is about right for the winter blend/winter tires. I've seafoamed the vehicle as well. Possibly helped? Not real sure but definitly didn't hurt it. As for air filter...

KB084RUNNER, do you find changing to synthetic oil is worth it since you are somewhat in the same boat as me? I just drove highway only today for about an hour and car computer read 19.2mpg at the end. So possibly around 17mpg? that seem's about right for me to highway which is a good thing! I...

Thanks for all the input guys!! I'm thinking once it gets summer and underbody carwashes and longer trips it will start to even out. I really like this car but just can't imagine driving it if the mileage doesn't get better then 11mpg. My brothers F-350 diesel gets better then that! haha

Tire Size looks to be correct and they are inflated about average. Toyota door says I think 28 or 30 and my tires go up to 45 so I have them in between around 38. Is there a good fuel injector cleaner you would reccomend? I did some reading on the air filter and see that some people say it...
