I have 2004 4 Runner Sport V8 with 250 K miles. last night while driving it died. Took is to the Mechanic and was told that it was the CamShaft Position sensor and the Crank position sensor needed to be replaced. I was quoted $ 500 with parts and labor which seems to be too much with a truck...

Yes, I did, still no luck, Thanks,

Hello, I have a 04 4th gen V8 SE with 112 K. I had a check engine light, indication P0420, indicating either bad O2 sensors or bad cat in bank1. I did replace both O2 sensors, but the light still came back on. Now I am looking at replacing the CAT. The OEM CAT is very expensive, my question...

My 04 4 Runner SE, has about 99 K now, it is certified preowned until 100K, nothing wrong with the truck, just wondering if someone has been in this situation, what to do if I should take in to the dealer and tell them to check the whole truck before it his 100 K. My warranty is only Engine and...

I have 90K, I was aware of that, I have tried with the dealer and Toyota with no luck,

Thanks guys, this helps a lot. I will talk to my Mechanic and report back. This forum is a great ressource.

I have a check engine light on with code P0420 on bank1 on my 04 4 Runner V8 with 90K. My question, did anyone go though this before? and what was it? I have heard that most likely it is the O2 sensor, but my Mechanic said that he tested all O2 sensors and they came back in range, he wants to...

I have been searching the forums, and it looks like some of you have gone through this. My 04 4 Runner SE, has about 90K, I am in California, I realize I am over the 80 K emissions warranty. My code is Catalyst code bank1, I think that is driver side. By reading trough the posts, it could be...

I did purchase a 04 4 Runner SE. It did not come with the tool to put the spare tire on. I did call the dealer and they want $55 for a little tool that probably cost $5 to make. I am open to suggestions to where I can get one, or an altrernative to put the spare tire on? Thanks,

Thanks guys. I will do it this weekend. Can you buy those plastic strips anywhere?

Thank you very much for your input. Very clever, I will try that.

I have the same exact problem with my 04 4 Runner SE V8. It was diagnosed at 79K and when I went back to the dealer at 81K they won't look at it because at that time I did not know about the 80K emissions in CA. I am in the process of filling a complaint with Toyota, because I don't have the...

I bought a spoiler for my 04 4 Runner. I have been hesitating about drilling holes in the sheet metal. The spoiler did not come with any templates, I did research this forum that some people did get the template from the dealer. I was just checking if someone can point me to a pdf or a youtube...

It is towards the back. I have pads in the back, I will check the emergency brake as well. I am not sure why it only happens in the morning? I know the truck is cold?

I hear a loud brake noise when backing up in the morning on my 04 4 Runner SE. I have new rotors and pads in front and new pads in the back, have not replaced the back rotors yet, I am just checking if this is related to brake rotors or something else? It does not happen during the day?
