Bad News / Good news My saga continues....... back in May, my 4runner started throwing the codes again.... (300, 302, 305), and my mileage dropped by 2 mpg. I switched coils around (again), cleaned the coil contacts (one was turning a light blue), checked resistance of the coils, and...

Success. mostly..... Finally finished the stereo install, I did not get the sound deadening,done, or moving the switches around, now that I am an accomplished "disassembler", I think I'll wait until it warms up, and there is more light after work to do those.... Last night I connected...

let the problems fall snow.... Not much progress due to the w-word.... I lucked out and used good quality plywood for the backs, they are nice and painted. I did spend 2 hours working on building adapters for the front woofers, I went with using hardwood for the fronts, and now I'm feeding...

First Round of checks hmmmm. Coil (already been replaced once, different than the original denso's....) good Wires - good Plugs - good, replaced anyway My 'runner does not chug, it runs pretty smooth..... Gas mileage: 15.5 mixed city/highway, seems to be in line with what I expected. It...

I just bought a used '98 4Runner, Limited, 92,000 miles. Driving a few days later I got a blinking CEL, then later on it became a steady light, with the occasional period of more blinking I looked around here and yotatech for suggestions/similiar problems and: I bought a scan tool and the...
