I've bought too many 30A fuses. Where oh where is the short in that window system? I've replaced that 30A fuse at least five times so far and it you try to roll up or down a window from any door set, you're lucky to get three or four seconds before that expensive fuse blows once again. Dealer...

You might also want to consider checking the coil packs. They rarely seem to last over 100K or that's my experience. You'll sure get a miss when they start going bad.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I used an easy out to remove the brass screw and then changed both out for steel allen screws. Much easier to remove to clean the MAF.

Hey y'all. I've got a '00 4R Limited with the 3.4L and with 270K on the clock and I'm getting a lot of missing that started gradually awhile back. Diagnostics say cylinder 1 & 4 misfire and reference the Mass Air Flow Sensor. I've thoroughly cleaned and recleaned the MAF and still have the...

I need info as to go about replacing the power steering fluid in my 2000 4Runner Limited, 3.4L. I'm not sure where or how to drain the fluid as I'm not familiar with the hydraulic layout for it. I do know that with 250K miles on it, the fluid in the reservoir is quite black and needs to be...

I'm having issues with a few dash lights on the vehicle. It appears they are loose in the section where the radio/cd player is as they intermittently will blink off and on. They appear to be out altogether in the AC/Heater display. Then a few weeks ago, one of the left side of the instrument...

Thanks! Many thanks to everyone that responded to my problem. It was indeed the big 30A fuse in the dash fush box. I had to use a mirror and needle nose pliers to get it out, which was a lot awkward. It had burned a gap right through the center in the little viewing window. Went down to...

For some reason today, my windows and power door locks have stopped working. None of the window switches or lock buttons and the window lock out button isn't depressed. I tried checking the fuses but couldn't find any blown. I don't have a clue as to how the circuit breakers are removed or...

I've got a '00 Limited 3.4, recently it suddenly started running very poorly. It starts up okay and runs smoothly at idle but once it's in gear anything over very slightly giving it the gas causes it to lose power badly. On top of that, the power pulses noticeably with about 5 second...
