The ideal thing to do would be to get a scanner on the truck. KOEO (key on engine off) watch the TPS voltage and see if raises accordingly while pushing the gas pedal down.
Generally, they read about .5 volt at idle/closed and 4.5-5 volts at WOT (wide open throttle)
If the voltage does...
The TPS could definately cause that if the resistor has a "break" or "open". I have seen them go out where you could be at wide open throttle and the car would accelerate as if you were lightly pressing the gas.
A fuel pump would cause similar symptoms, but the TPS is far more common on...
Those symptoms are very similar to a bad TPS on these particular trucks. My brother has a 97 sr5 3.4 that just did very similar things. His ended up throwing a code for the TPS. I cannot remember the code number off hand.
OOO-K
I talked to the people today at performance offroad center.
Apparently, the toyota 6cyl differential is one of the few that you reuse your stock side gears. So I am not missing parts. You just pay about the same price for a box with half the parts. If you looked at these...
Did I tell you that or did you read my mind :D
I think I am actually gonna go with some sliders first.
I found a guy who will fab them for 250-275 total.
I got a little damage on the trail today that some sliders would have prevented. I'm gonna get the ones that kick out at the rear.
UPDATE!!!!
Ok, this is unbelievable. Two packages showed up today form performanceoffroad.com :confused:
according to the label, one was shipped FEDEX on the 15th. One was shipped UPS yesterday.
The one shipped on the 15th weighs about 6 lbs
The one shipped yesterday weighs about 3...
Cool.. See you there.
A mild lift is the next thing I plan to do.
I got tracking number for my locker- The F'n thing wasn't even shipped until the 15th
6 DAYS AFTER I ORDERED IT!!!!!!
The scheduled delivery date, according to the UPS site, is the 17th (Tomorrow/Friday)
This...
I'm gonna do the install.
I'm gonna call them as soon as they open.
I tried calling them yesterday 10 minutes before they cosed, they didn't answer the phone :mad: <---- we need a smiley face that looks more angry than this one!
Basically, whenever I order something, I need it NOW...
Alright. It did not arrive today. I am pissed because I asked for a tracking number when I ordered this thing. I never got the number, but the guy told me on monday that it will arrive today.
I paid for 3 day select shipping. I ordered it when I started this thread. a week or so...
It is supposed to arrive today.
I'm going out wheeling on saturday and camping overnight to go out again on sunday.
I bought some new A/T's to put on too :D
I'm hoping to see a big difference i'm the trucks abilities.
a smidge of it was laziness. :D
But the application guide on the website was a little unclear.
It almost looked like they didn't have a listing for the 96-02 4runner.
I just called the place I ordered from, They say I should see it on wednesday.
I had 5% on my back windows of a car at one point.
I was hating it at night. I mean, you really gotta use your side mirrors.
I also have it on my pickup. If it weren't for a sliding rear window, I would be backing into things a night.
I was pulled over for something other than the tint...
