just pulled the throttle body. and I am having trouble unscrewing the tps screws, any advise? I dont want to strip them. also, I am now convinced the sensor is shot but still want to loosten it up to make sure.-

i opened the hoof today and noticed that my tps wasnt even plugged in, car drove the same as with it plugged in. could that mean anything?

what would pulling the hoses do? i dont think itll be hard to pull the tb its just hard to work in the cold. at .5 mm the idl e2 test should read <2.3k ohm

Itll be a while before it gets warmed up. One thing i noticed tonight when I took the multi meter to idl and e2 terminals of the tps is that i got an open reading at all throttle openings. I figured even if I couldnt get a feeler guage in there I could at least get a general idea whet in wnet...

I thought about pulling the TB. this would make it easier to fully check the TPS and also to adjust it if I thought that would help. problem is is that its really damn cold up here. its 24 right now and that makes it really hard to work on a car even in a garage. as for figuring out what the...

ok so Im going to break it down so I can include every detail. The Problem: First the engine will not rev under load past 2200 rpm. It idles(in park) at about 1500 rpm, when I put it in drive it goes down to 1k rpm. when the engine is cold and I put it in park I cant get it past 1500 rpm. If i...

So i think the blower in my 91 runner is out. I checked the fuses behind the glove box and they were fine. if i leave it set to fresh air I can feel warm air come thru the vents but the blower wont work. I have no idea what it could be. also the light on the AC button wont come on(dont know...

right now I am getting 10 city and 12 highway. it should be getting about 17 and 20. I dont have any idea why. the engine is very smooth, the RPM dont run high. no indicator lights are on. its an AT that is shifting fine(just had the fluid flushed.) I would say i am taking it easy on the gas...

so could it be the tires? I am planning on getting a tune-up so I am hoping that will help.

I also have a leak about the same size. I think its getting in the way of the starter cause when I park on an incline I cant start it up. I cant really tell where its coming from because of the skid plate but I can say that its dripping all over the tranny. anyway I am going to have it looked...

my 4runner

this is the tire size i have right now: 31x10.50R15/C

no indicator lights are on. its an AT that is shifting fine(just had the fluid flushed. I would say i am taking it easy on the gas peddle.l i think the tires are 31 inches. an example: i just drove it des moines from MPLS this weekend. its about 240 mile drive and I couldnt make it on one tank.

right now I am getting 10 city and 12 highway. it should be getting about 16 and 19. I dont have any idea why. the engine is very smooth, the RPM dont run high. I do need to get it fixed with gas prices being what they are. What could be the problem?
