I should add that this code says it has something to do with the camshaft position sensor.

Ok, here's my situation. I have a 2004 4Runner Sport Edition V8 w/ 98,000 on it. Went to start it up the other day and it just kept turning for several seconds and didn't fire over. I tried a second time and it fired up right away, but the check engine light came on. Haven't had any issues...

Sorry. I should have scrolled through this forum. The question was already asked and answered. Sorry for the repeat thread.

On my way home from work the other day, I started getting a loud rattling noise coming from the undercarriage. When I got home to inspect it, I noticed the heat shield above the muffler was completely loose so I removed it. Just want to know if I can live without it or is it critical for it to...

I'm getting ready to purchase this timing belt kit form Ebay. Aisin Water Pump Timing Belt Mechanics Kit Lexus Toyota 4 0L 4 3L 4 7L V8 '98 09 | eBay Just want to get some feedback to see if this kit is ok. I have a 2004 sport edition with 81k on the clock.

I've already figured out that I have 6 zerk fittings. What I'm really after is if it is possible to over fill the zerk fitting on the front of the drive shaft. I understand now that there are 3 on the front and 3 on the back. The one I'm concerned about is the front zerk fitting that is...

Sorry, I should have also added that it's 4WD.

Sorry, I should have added that it's a 2004 v8.

I only found 2 zerk fittings on my runner. After searching here, I see that there are 6 of them. I greased up the 2 that I found. One on the front of the drive shaft and one on the back of the drive shaft. When I greased up the back, it only took a few pumps before it started oozing out. On...

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here. I have just over 80k on an 04 runner. I'm a little concerned that I'm still on the original belt. Should I be overly concerned that there's 8 years on this belt? Also, could someone recommend a timing belt kit. There's so many options, I don't know exactly...
