I want to buy a new iac valve for my 2000 4runner. I can only find airtex and standard motor products brand, not the stock denso. Which one should I get?

Sometimes when driving you hear a sound like a stick breaking under a tire. Normally only under acceleration. Could this relate to my acceeration problem. Between 2600-3000 rpm with half throttle in second and sometime third gear you feel a front to back shake for a second. Because of this I...

No engine light. It only happens for a few minutes so no code.

When I start my 2000 when hotmit starts up and ideles fine. When you put it into gear it has zero power. Pedal to the floor results in backfireing, and no motion. If i wait a few minutes this will go away and drive fine. I have cleaned the iac valve do I need a new one?

I checked the plug wires, the plugs are new. The closest wire boot to the back left is brown with white flakes. The rest are black. Should I replace this wire. I'm thinking a misfire under load.

So it has the correct amount of freeplay. Is the freeplay supposed to rattle in and out over every bump. It gets very loud.

bump

I'd rather not buy a new one. It's a pain to take it off. Does this problem still sound like an iac valve since I already cleaned it.

It doesn't relate to speed. Its quarter to half throttle at 2700-3000 rpm in all gears except first. I only normally feel it in second because I'm normally not at half throttle in any higher gear.

I took off and cleanded the iac valve on my 2000 about a month ago. Before this every time I started my car warm it would run bad. After cleaning It idles great. I get the same bad start warm maybe once a week now but it onlynlast for a few seconds. Do I need a whole new iac valve?

2000 5speed. When I go over bumps, or brake hard the clutch pedal shakes and rattles. There is about a half inch of free play in the pedal. How can I get this out?

2000 5speed 4x4. When I accelerater between 2700-3000 rpm I get a whole car front to back shake. The engine runs perfect through this. This only happens when I am giving it quarter to half throttle. If its floored you don't feel this. This only happens in second gear, maybe a little in third...

2000 v6 5speed. When I drive for long enough that the engine is completely warm and stop. Then I start it again. It will run normally for 30 seconds then the idle will drop. It will go from 400-900 and keep bouncing. If I drive it will bog and not go over 1500rpm. To get it going I need to rev...

It was just replaced with the clutch by the dealer.

I had my clutch replaced a 1000 miles ago. Now when the clutch is out there is a squeaking noise. If you put any pressure on the clutch it stops. Also when you idle it is a noticeable squeak, squeak, squeak, but if you rev it above 1100 rpm it goes away. I don't know if this is a coincidence...
