You nailed it JayRolla http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/226356-2002-toyota-4runner-shudder-loss-power.html#post2507658

UPDATE: Mechanic installed the NGK wires and the NGK platinum dual-lead plugs 1-6. Cleaned torque valve cover boots. Cleaned throttle body & airflow sensor. Running like a champ now! INcluding an oil change, oil filter and new air filter, I spent $75 on the plugs and wires, plus $260 for the...

I had zero sound coming from my engine until I had the timing belt replaced. Took it back to complain about the noise (it was slight, but present whenever in gear) and was told it could not be the belt. Perhaps mine is also the tensioner incorrectly installed. At any rate that was 75K ago and I...

Awesome! Thank you all so much! Honestly I am just so relieved it's not the trans. I love this car and I want to drive it forever.

Here was the original thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/225499-temporary-shudder-loss-power-during-shifting.html 2002 SR5, 178k miles Car had all 3 CE lights on for several months with no effect on driving. A few weeks ago started shuddering at high speeds 50mph and...

I've had the car since '11 and have not done them (105k at that time). No idea if the previous owner did them but if they were part of the regular Toyota tune-ups program they probably were. I have purchased an ODB2 adapter on your recommendation and will post the codes when I read them...

Hi again guys, It's been a few years since I've had any issues at all, and now... I am not sure what is going on. Obviously hoping it's not the trans/torque converter. I have taken it into a mechanic twice and no resolution yet. First time, he did a wheel balance but that wasn't it (that type...

Mines now at 149k, still making the noise. Shop guy told me it was the trans & offered to rebuild it for $1800. I haven't done it because it hasn't gotten worse after another 35k miles & that's an expensive repair for something I'm not even sure will fix it. Very frustrating that it seemed to...

2002 4runner sport 4X2, 113K miles. When truck is in gear and stopped, such as at a light, there is a ticking noise from the engine. In neutral or park it goes away. When moving again and the engine begins to rev, ticks get closer together & then noise is overwhelmed by normal engine revving...

'02 4runner 113K same noise When in gear, loudest while idling at a stop with brake applied. Noise has been occurring since timing belt replacement 1K ago. No previous problems with vehicle at all in the 6 months I've owned it (bought at 105K). As soon as it's in neutral there's no noise I can...
