Hey! I'm getting pretty close to needing new tires, and Hendrick Toyota here will price match. Anyone know of a good source for Nitto Crossteks? I currently have Yokohama 285 55 18's but can't spend the $332 per tire right now so am going to a Nitto 265 60 18.

The solution!! It was the fuel injector! LOL, after the plug, wire and coil had all been replaced and it was still running rough, they figured out it was the fuel injector. Running beautifully now, yay!! Good to have it back to norm!!

It was the Fuel Injector Thanks for all the help!! After the wire was also replaced (so plugs, coil and wires) they figured out it was the fuel injector. Had that replaced and it's running like the beauty it is again!!

New Symptom, Burt Rubber/Sulfur Smell Yesterday it ran pretty well for 45 min. each way drive, but at the end was smelling like burnt rubber and then today it was running rough immediately and making a really strong smell that was like burnt rubber, but maybe also sulphury. Have another appt...

I'll find out which brand was used, but he did just replace the coil and plugs. The wires look fine but the dealership diagnostic last week said they were "arcing." With the others replaced, would just the wires be preventing the problem from being solved?

Thanks! I saw what came out, assuming it was the same as what went in. The plug was more narrow, maybe like what that pic shows inside the coil. Is the plug just the inner part? It does have 172,000 miles though, so will try the seafoam!! Thanks for the help!!

They were replaced by the Toyota dealership here two yrs. ago. And he did just replace the coil and plugs but not the wires. The dealership assessment was that coil 5 was bad and had corrupted the plugs and wires (which they said were "arcing"). So he replaced the plugs and coil, but when he...

I'll double check in the morning, too dark right now to tell. It has some TRD stuff, but def. doesn't have the supercharger anymore. I think he took it out when he sold it (the previous owner). But I can post a pic of the engine tomorrow. Thanks for your reply!!

LOL, mine. He's a "car guy" not a "truck/SUV" guy. I bought it 8+ years ago and worked hard to pay it off!

For the past few years the 4Runner ('98 Limited, 4wd) has occasionally run rough, but no one has ever had a fix that actually prevented it from ever happening again (had plugs/wires replaced, air intake fixed/replaced, and lots of diagnostic visits w/ no result) though the air intake fix did...

Hi! This forum has been great to check out r/e my '98 4Runner. Sorry I only just joined, am not v. car-handy and haven't had too many problems w/ it (until now). Even now if I can figure out what's going on w/ it and have that fixed would like to have it for a while longer, it's got way more...
