    1991 3.0 starting issues

    I just wired direct to the starter relay in my 91 and your problem is nothing like mine so it may not cure your issue. What mine was doing was it would only start when on a battery charger. New battery, alternator charging properly, new cables, all good connections ect. The issue is that not...

    In the market for a 2nd Gen - Need advice

    Very nice, same color as mine. One thing that was not mentioned...if it's a 5 speed check the clutch pedal bracket really close and see if you can find any cracks around where it bolts to the firewall. I just did head gaskets in my 91 (bought it with them blown) and went to bleed the clutch only...

    91 3vze efi help needed-no spark!

    Well I found the issue. I had the distributor a tooth off. Now it runs ok. Now onto the next problem I found when bleeding the clutch, the pedal bracket (which has already been repaired) is cracked all over, upper bracket has been ripped out of the body, sheet metal behind the clutch master is...

    91 3vze efi help needed-no spark!

    I appreciate the advice. Looking at it I'm sure it's 23 years old, can't hurt.

    91 3vze efi help needed-no spark!

    Ok so a little back story here. I bought my 91 4runner 3.0 3vze 5 speed 4x4 a few months ago with a blown head gasket. The PO bought it that way a couple months earlier and never touched it. The story I'm told is that the guy he bought it from replaced the timing belt, water pump, and radiator...

    Buying 91 4x4 V6, have some questions.

    So I checked my heads out today and in a couple spots they have about .001" warpage. At this point I'm just going to clean everything up and reassemble the engine. I'm going to get rid of the crossover as well. That way I'll have it running for now and I'll keep my eye out for a 3.4 I need of a...

    Buying 91 4x4 V6, have some questions.

    I appreciate all of the input guys. I'm still thinking about ditching the crossover pipe, I have a welder and could fab the pipe fairly easy, I'm just not sure if I want to toss the 3.0 together and run it until I find a 3.4 or try to keep the 3.0 together. Right now I'm thinking just throwing...

    Buying 91 4x4 V6, have some questions.

    Thanks for the replies guys, I was really hoping that's not a cat, would be a real PITA to have to change. It actually has 160k miles on it. I looked into the 3.4 swap, it seems pretty straight forward but I can't find decent deals on any in my area. They are all $1200+. The tires are Faulken...

    Alright so 89 views and no replies, hopefully it's just that :worthless So here are a few. Tore the intake off last night and today pulled the heads. The cam lobes will need some polishing and the deck cleaned up. I'm looking for decent machine shops around me to inspect the heads. I gotta...

    1991 4runner 3.0 v6 4x4- which fan shroud?

    Hey guys, I just bought my 91 4 runner and need to get a fan shroud for it. My fan has the blades that are connected on the ends. Are there different shrouds for the different fans? Is my fan only for v6 models or is there really two different fans? Thanks for the help!

    Buying 91 4x4 V6, have some questions.

    Hey guys, I'm new here. I've never owned a 4runner before but always wanted one. I came up on a deal for an 84 Cherokee that ended up needing too much work to justify so I'm selling that and picking up a 1991 3.0 V6 4runner 5 speed tomorrow morning. Really not planning on serious wheeling with...
