I would remove the plastic so you can see the inner assembly.
Look to see if anything is causing the gears and arms to not move and try to fix that.
If I leave something half hanging out the hatch and close it, the auto lock gets bent and I have to rebend the metal back to where it should...
If you have the issue where your rear hatch won't open but you hear the actuator moving inside, this fix is for you.
It's been months since I couldn't open the rear lift gate. When I pressed the release button I could hear the actuator engaging but something was not unlocking the door.
I...
Ok, so I checked both connections and they physically looked fine. I did disconnect both connectors and blow them out with canned air. Yesterday, my 4Runner started up fine every time and no check engine light. So I am not sure what fixed the issue, but it seems to be working now.
I also was...
Thanks for the suggestions and help. I also forgot to add that when the car does start up I get a P304 Cam Sensor error (I think thats what it was) and the VSCOFF and VSCTRAC lights are both on.
Any suggestions?
Starter or some other issue?
I did check the air box and there was some mud on...
Hey everyone, I started to have an issue with my 4Runner where it sometimes won't start. Let me explain and hopefully someone can help diagnose this.
Yesterday I went off roading and found a big mud puddle. I drove through the mud multiple times. I had the center locker on in 4HI. I have a V8...
Update:
Yesterday, I removed the HC Filter from the air box.
I did notice an improvement in throttle response. Very slight improvement, but an improvement none the less.
I also ordered a K&N drop in filter. Have not received it yet though.
I also have not gotten my friend to patch the...
I am interested in this topic. I think I have this same issue. If I am parked and my 4runner is at idle, I turn the wheel back and forth and it whines. Also whines while driving but you can hear it whine the most when you turn the wheel. Is this the issue you are talking about? If so, what...
Sounds good. Thanks!
I'm still waiting to hear back from the guy on scheduling to take my truck back to patch the welds.
Do you guys think JB Weld or Rapid Fix will be sufficient to patch welds?
That is a very good idea. If patching the leak does not solve the problem I might do something like this. I was thinking about an intake but I like the stock intake as the filter is protected in the box from water/mud etc.
Whats your thoughts on the stock intake vs. Aftermarket in regards to...
