Hi all! Long time follower of all things 4Runner here. I need y'all's help, advice, thoughts on what I'm dealing with. I just bought a 99 4Runner Limited off of Facebook Marketplace. And with all the hubris and arrogance of a previous 4Runner owner I made a silly mistake. I'll save you the...

Apologies, try this maybe: https://youtu.be/qynpUXGQ0fI

Just changed the settings

1999 SR5, has a rough idle at startup, does this sound like rod-knock or something mechanical that is going to fail? https://youtu.be/qynpUXGQ0fI

Battery Voltage read 11.9 before cranking on the first test, but over a week of attempts really took it down until it hit 6v and I tried some battery jumper packs. UPDATE: Laboured start first thing in the cold morning - seems I may be right where I was 2 weeks ago. Perhaps it is a fuel pump...

UPDATE: Things are a little weirder now and I am uncertain what I have done to solve it, but it seems like I am chasing an electrical issue. Here is what has happened. Uncovered the wiring heading towards the fuel pump from the ECU. Disconnected and reconnected every contact point and sprayed...

UPDATE: Tried chasing the problem to the top of the fuel pump array, sprayed contact cleaner but that didn't have any effect. Does anyone know of a good walk-through on how to test the fuel pump without pulling the tank. Vehicle is vry rusted and I am worried about snapping lines, etc.

UPDATE: Tried installing a new Cam position sensor, P0340 is cleared but it didn't affect the ignition at all. Still lots of cranking with no start.

Currently having an issue where the engine will crank no problem but will not turn over or start. Here is the history of the issue: 2 weeks ago I noticed that it was having more laboured starts, it would take twice as much cranking to get the truck to fire up. Assuming the spark plugs were end...

Similar issue I’ve got a similar issue with my 99 SR5 - I thought my fuel gauge was busted the day I bought it. Tried to lead a new ground cable for the fuel sensor with no luck. Just today I picked up a trailer to tow and after connecting the trailer to my rear hookup the fuel gauge started...

Sorry to revive an old thread - trying to chase the post-reply count so I can make this its own post. Went a little off-roading this weekend in my 99’ SR5 and in the midst of a climb I noticed that my engine was losing some power and had suddenly become a lot louder. There seems to be a bit of...

Custom build? Did anyone end up making a custom one for the die of their rig? If so do you mind sharing some info on how you went about it?

Similar issue I’m having a similar issue on my 1999 where the “D” light doesn’t illuminate on the dash but all other lights for the transmission do. AND sometimes the lights displayed on the gear selector handle and on the dash are out of sync with the actual chosen gear. Thoughts??
