I'm really not sure how that's relevant given the behavior. I am not sure what was put in, I believe it was a Denso, but it was put in by a come-to-your-vehicle mechanic and I didn't see/keep the box. I can think of a lot of ways a new starter could fail, but none of it would result in...

3x instances of no-start on key-turn. - 1x super rainy day, no start on key-turn, put in neutral and started right up - 1x later that day for the drive home, no start on key-turn, put in neutral and started right up - 1x the next day, no start on first key-turn, instinctively tried 3x more in...

Had a thought to put it in neutral, started right up... Have no idea if this is the solution though.

I'm at my wit's end here with this starting issue. Some days it'll start just fine, other days I get nothing but the starter relay clicking on and off. If I turn the key 10-20 times, sometimes it starts, other times like today I get nothing. Starter's been replaced, found a broken solenoid...

Yes, replaced with a Denso unit last year. I really doubt it failed in that time but who knows. It's the 2000 Limited from my signature, so yes, it's an automatic (and the multi-mode auto specifically). IIRC, manual doesn't use the cooler in the radiator, so wouldn't even be a concern. I did...

Don't know about his first round of checks, but he brought me out to the car in the parking lot and showed me the level on the dipstick (which yea, it's high). I doubt the transmission was overly warm as they didn't road test. During the trip cross country my mother-in-law reported the exhaust...

Just moved from NH to WA. Took the 4Runner to a shop to get a once-over and oil change after the 3100mi trip. Struggling with a few pieces of information the shop came back with, and I'm curious to know peoples opinions, specifically on the topic of radiator failure between the trans cooler and...

Don't believe I've done O2 sensors in my ownership (3+ Years), probably something that needs to be done. I replaced from just behind the cat back with a cheap stainless exhaust, but the cat and forward is pretty tired also. The cat heat shield rusted loose and had to be reattached with pipe...

Been running 93 octane since the misfires began to happen and ran some fuel system cleaner through the lines since I couldn't get to fuel filter/injectors anytime soon. Definitely helped and I haven't seen misfires in a while. Aftermarket Cold Air Intake, I haven't swapped the MAF despite...

MAF is the one thing I've already purchased (went with my gut having had very similar issues with an EJ205 in an '02 WRX that were caused by the MAF). Not sure it makes much sense not to put it in where it's already sitting behind the driver's seat.

There's a Cold Air Intake in place from the previous owner. I'm planning to swap back to the factory intake (which I have in a garage at my house where I am not living presently), but it'll have to wait until I'm next home (I'm not buying a second one just because I can't get to the one I have...

I should also note that in addition to the codes and the misfires, it feels very down on power (it's not the quickest beast in the world to begin with) and when it misfires it refuses to misfire altogether. The first several times the misfires occurred it was when there was poor weather. I...

My 00' Limited has been throwing intermittent P0171 (Running Lean) errors and some very occasional misfires. Timing belt was done in September by a reputable shop, and the P0171 began occurring even before that, I'm thinking time for a bit of a tuneup. Planning on: Spark Plugs Spark Plug Wires...

Once I had my servo removed I tried moving the actuator cable and arms. Indeed they are quite hard to move, I believe this is normal, the servo is configured to get good leverage and there may be resistance on the blend doors purposefully, like springs to keep them closed when they're not being...

I'm having the same issue, just started a few days ago. This thread helped me identify the issue and how to resolve it in short order and deserves a bump. Just a quick update on parts: The Toyota part number for the servo is 87106-35070. The dealer price I was quoted in Portsmouth, NH is...
