I agree with Bad Luck, the expansion valve has nothing to do with it. You already proved the clutch is good by connecting it to a 12 volt source, so rule out the clutch, problem sounds electrical. Look at the source of voltage- what controls the system to make the compressor clutch engage. If...

Crazy problem, but try this, Key on, engine not running, turn AC system on. AC clutch should engage even though the engine is not running. You should here a click. If not try advancing the accelerator by hand under the hood and see if the clutch will engage then- should hear the clutch pull...

How quickly should a 99 T4R start? Just wondering if I need to chase down a problem or it is normal for the engine to crank for about 3-5 seconds before it fires up. 1999 3.4 L auto trans 230k miles. We have owned it for last 7 years, always the same. Sometimes takes longer when it is...

99 limited 186k on the clock, it is our only car, we do have a Harley for the nice weather days. Owned it for 2 1/2 years, driven it multiple trips of 800 to 1000 miles at a time and don't hesitate to go. I love this truck. Routine maintenance and fixing the little things keeps it running great.

Great job on the photos, I replaced mine yesterday also. I did put some white lithium grease in the new bushings, and I replaced the grommets and brass bushings on the bottom side linkage. I should have also ordered a replacement link on the top side that is held in with the E clips. It has a...

Installation of the covers is fairly simple. You will need hog ring pliers and hog rings to install them. There is a posting on T4R that has a full video on them, also can be found on you tube. The passenger back rest is in good shape, no tears, no worn spots. either.

Repaired my rear window defroster, the tabs on the glass had come off; a few years ago, before I owned it. Bought it 2 1/2 years ago. Removed the window out of the hatch, cleaned the mounting area, cleaned the tabs and bent them back to their original shape. Applied some solder to the tabs...

Just finished a front seat recover job and have some decent covers available and foam pads. Have 1 oak leather bottom with tear $ Free Have 2 oak leather seat back covers 1 driver, 1 passenger, both in good condition $35 each Have 1 head rest leather, cover is...

Air conditioner repairs had a leak in the Evaporator area, pulled the box out and found the core rotted and half restricted with debris. Had already ordered a new core and expansion valve to have on hand. Should have ordered the tube assembly as well. When I started removing the allen head...

Thank you, I am gearing up for the job and wanted to have everything needed on hand.

What do you all use to install the camshaft seal and front crank seal when you guys do a timing belt job?

Good used set of Denso coil packs from a 99 4Runner limited. $70, shipping included.

Good luck with that, not sure how your feeling more power when E85 has less power than regular gas. What does you MPG look like?

I upgraded to Hella HB2/9003 High Performance 2.0 Bulbs, bought from Tire Rack , also replaced the fog light bulbs with H3 High Performance 2.0 Bulbs. Lighting is much better over stock, hopeful they will hold up. Paid 66 for both sets, shipping was free.
