    hello first timer in need of help

    I have no idea if this will work but it cant hurt. Run a can or two of seafoam through a couple of different vacuum hoses so that it will hit all cylinders. Also turn the idle adjustment screw to just past 1000rmp and see if it holds a idle after that, even if its high and holds, it might be...

    Busted a fuel line

    The fuel line that runs from my fuel rail to my cold start injector has cracked. Its on a 95 3.0 It was real old and brittle. I dont guess this is a part I can get from autozone? How do I go about getting the party number or can i just go to the dealer and have them find it for me? Thanks

    What I have learned thus far

    If you think your 3.0 v6 is slow then you are correct. Its an underpowered engine. There are no real mods worth the money. If you really think you need more power swap it with a 3.4 or whatever floats your boat. But. there is an exception. Here is what I did. My 3.0 leaked oil from the valve...

    Head Gasket replacement

    I will be replacing the head gaskets on a 95 3.0vze in December and I havebnt gone over an of the manuals yet to read up on it. I was told that I would have to remove the cam shafts in order to take the heads off. Is that true? And how much of the upper engine (ie:Plenum, Fuel rails) can come...

    Ignition timing weird.

    My95 3.0vze has been running pretty good but I had found some vacuum leaks. I fixed those up and decided to check the timing. At first I couldnt even see the mark. So I adjusted the distributor until I could. I short circuited the code box (whatever) and moved it until it was 10 btdc. Now it...

    Found some un-metered air and oil.

    I was seafoaming my 95 3.0 the other day when I could hear the faint noise of whistling. Sure enough there was a clamp missing from the intake. It was post MAF so the air was un-metered. A decent amount of air was getting in too. That would explain my crazy idle. I fixed that and between the...

I have been searching through and through but i cant find where nitto makes a trail or terra grappler for a 15'' wheel. Do i need to get some new wheels maybe 16'' or 17''. I dont have the money for...

    4X4 when can I use it?

    I have my first 4x4. A 1995 4runner V6. I love it. The thing is that there is a rotating related clicking/clang (sounds like the wheel of fortune) that comes from the front driver side wheel. It is sometimes loud, sometimes nonexistent. I have figured out that when its in 4wheel drive. It stops...

    Valve cover leak.

    Yeah I figured I would. . I guess its going to cost me some money for the gaskets. I think maybe a new pcv valve too while in there. Im new to the 4runner. There is so much garbage out there on the internet it seems impossible to sort through. My only other question is code 52. The knock sensor...

    Valve cover leak.

    I searched and found a lot of info on the valve cover leaking.I have a 95 4x4. V6. I know my driver side is seeping. But the passenger side is hard to see. I know I smell a lot of oil burning on the manifold. It stinks. Bad. It leaves a small quarter size spot after a day. I just bought this...
