Had the same problem. Do not waist money on a new starter. Get the contacts and do it yourself. It cost me 10 bucks and an hour of my time. Search threads for starter contacts and you will find it. Or try google.

sounds like you need new pads. Since you have a ginding and other issues, do new rotors at the same time. I just did this on my 98 because one was warped. The rotors were about 50 for two and pads were 40 a set. make sure you have a torques wrench that can do 90+ ft lbs for the brake assembly

I have a 98 5 speed. Have/had a very simulair problem. When sitting at a light with the clutch in or in neutral it would idol high. I actually ran for about 6 months like that and then on day got a check engine light. Read the code and my suspictions of the idol were right....engine throttle...

price? I want one of those soooo bad. How much are you charging for them? (the T15)

Thanks all for the input and concern. The dog is fine :) As for the 4runner. I have looked at the damage and I think I can get away with doing repairs myself as long as the inspection shows no frame damage from the bumper being pushed in. If that is the case, I just need to bend the one...

Ok, so after a week in NW Montana, coming back from vacation, 6 miles down the road from our cabin, a BIG deer jumps in front of me. I brake, swerve, try to avoid it....no luck. Yes, the runner is stock in front. that means no I do not have a brush gaurd, or as I will now call them, a dear...

had same problem I agree with the injector theory. I had a simuliar problem, took it to my local Toyota dealer, they charged 75 to diagnose that they needed to do a 150 buck injector clean wich consisted of removing the two caps over the vacume lines on top of the EFI minfold and spraying...

ok, so does anyone know where the trigger machanisim is for the rear hatch light then?

I have found threads for programming the remote for a 99+ 4runner, however, does anyone know how to program a 98 remote? Is it the same?

crossing fingers I am hoping it does not too. Thanks for the response!

So if you have your doors closed and the interior light set to "door" and the cargo light set to "door" and open your rear hatch the light(s) do come on?

Ok this is a stupid question...Anyone with a 98, does the cargo light and inside light come on when you open the rear hatch? I can not recall if mine used to or not. It does not now, only when I open doors. I had all the cargo area panels off a few weeks ago and not sure if I bumped a plug...

what I have done Mine has 125k on it and runs like a top. I would say new plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, injector clean (a good gas tank additive or the dealer injector clean...your choice), check water pump for leaks, replace timeing belt if not already done within last 70k, and of course...

Thanks for the help and the welcome. Now I just have to decide what way to go. I am also going to check on the price of an axle with one already installed off a wrecked one since it appears I would have to remove the axle anyways. First though...just ordered an Airaid intake (doing the ISR...

I was wonderring if anyone has installed a toyota locking rear diff. on a 3rd gen 4runner that did not have it? I know on the new FJC alot of the hardware for the off-road options are installed even if not ordered and it is just a matter of getting the wiring harness and switch to activate them...
