Update - All is good again! Looks like it was the cam position sensor or more specifically the cable to the sensor. I changed that out a few days ago and have not had an issue since. Livin and learnin, thanks again for all the help.

Everyone has pretty much answered this, but the cuts were on the inside. I found it helpful to take a pneumatic chisel and drive between the LCA and mount on the side where the nut came off. That gave just enough room to get the blade in. After you get the first cut through, chisel in on the...

+1 on this, had to do the exact same thing a couple of months ago. Mine were so bad seized, had to use a sawz-all to cut them out. I like the Moog products they did look identical, also when you reassemble the adjusters and bolts use a lot of anti-seize then hit it with grease at every oil...

Smoking Gun! This is VERY good information and exactly what the Runner is doing now. Let me see if I understand this bulletin, it was reported in 2006 and they would make this repair for up to 36 months after the in service date. So if you reported this to them after it was purchased new...

About 16,000 miles ago at 100994 miles. I did the 100K miles service in early March.

Nope, NOT Fixed! Here we go again! So after thinking this thing was done and working fine it started the same issue again. Last night while driving it turned on the check engine light and all the traction control lights again. When I read the codes, at least it is giving codes that can be...

Probelm Resolved - I Think Finally had some time to do this. Dropped the tank, pulled out the pump and all the parts but could not tell much about the filter. It is enclosed in a plastic housing and you can't actually see the filter part. The little pillow looking screen on the bottom of...

Finally a code I can read! I hadn't noticed the voltage, it is a little high. The battery is less than a year old, but that don't mean it could not be having an issue. I'll check that this evening. Life got in the way last night so I didn't get a chance to drop that tank. Hopefully I can...

OK, got back early yesterday and had some time to work on this. The remote start and key emulator are completely removed from the system. No change at all other than I can't start it with my fob. LOL It still stumbles and nearly dies. -The OBDII scan tool is a "ElmScan 5 Compact...

It will be Tuesday night before I will be able to get back on this. The Key emulator and remote start module are easy to get to, so I'll disconnect that to eliminate it. The scan tool is a inexpensive eBay find, so I have no doubt the quality is questionable and it won't capture Toyota...

No, the light stays off. I don't know the model of that device, but I'm going to take a close look at it next week and can post it then. Nope, no critters been in there, it's still clean under the hood and dash with no gnaw marks..

Everything about this screams fueling issue and I have a replacement screen to go in the tank, just have not had the time to drop and replace it. I'm at about 116K miles, so it's time to do it anyway. The two factors for fueling is 1) pressure 2) volume. If there was a filter issue...

BCU = Body Control Unit, it's the computer that controls systems like the heat/ac, lights or pretty much everything else electronic excluding the engine systems. ECU = Engine Control Unit, computer that controls all engine functions. Many modern vehicles have other computers dedicated to doing...

It's not storing any codes, wish it would. :-) Checked the battery cables and what grounds I could find. When using my monitoring tool one of the monitor point is ECU and ODBII PORT voltage, nothing strange showing up on either. I'm assuming there would be some weirdness if it were loosing...

Wouldn't the pressure drop when the relay kicked out?
