That is one clean 4Runner! I like these types of stories. I am so glad you are going to keep this one 100% stock, the way it should be! :fro:

I kind of have to agree with him though. We bring up a legitimate and pressing issue and we have only gotten crickets from the people who have access to look into the problem. We didn't even get a notification from the admin saying that they are aware of the problem and are working on fixing...

Things are not fixed yet as of this post.

Does anybody know what happened yet?:noidea:

Yeah, it is a little weird..... Same down time issue here. Also, up top where it breaks down where in the forum you are, it says: Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum> Toyota 4Runner Foruma I am pretty sure it is not supposed to say fourma......

I am not 100% sure what the 1984 specifications are (you most likely have the early 22R version), but I am willing to bet they are very similar to the late 22R specifications. From my 1987 Factory Repair Manual: 1. Check Oil Quality 2. Check Oil Level 3. Remove Oil Pressure Switch or Sender...

I would check your actual oil pressure with a reliable mechanical gauge (you can usually borrow or buy from a local auto parts store) before doing anything else. Oil pump failures are pretty uncommon as they are very simple mechanisms and are constantly bathed in oil. Usually the bearings in...

Well, putting fresh air into the exhaust may sound dumb, until you know what is actually going on. The fresh air in the exhaust is not to dilute the exhaust to fool emissions, but as a simple way to introduce oxygen into the exhaust. When you introduce oxygen into the exhaust, you help the...

A direct replacement condenser would be best. As said above, DENSO (the Original Manufacturer for Toyota) still makes these condensers. DENSO Part Number:477-0133 https://www.densoproducts.com/product.aspx?zpid=11543&_ref=ca-wtb&_refv=8972f92b-dd41-4a59-821e-08fc47c51ce5 You can probably...

Your 4Runner looks great! It fits right into the scenery! It sounds like you had a great time! :fro:

It could be a heater core or Air Conditioner evaporator clogged up with leaves or other debris, and/or one of the blend door / airflow doors is just swinging loose as you drive. Do all of the airflow positions work when you move the lever (i.e. vent only, split vent/feet, feet only, spit...

I have not worked on a 3VZ-E, so I cannot speak from experience on the Dashpot and throttle opener, but you can look at the factory procedure here: http://htftp.offroadsz.com/marinhaker/programi/toyota/Engine/3VZ-E/93throttle.pdf :fro:

Here is a working version of the link (as of this post) from the WayBack Machine from the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20100806134914/http://ncttora.com:80/fsm/1990-1995_4Rnr/Toyota.4Runner.1990.1995/FSM/95toypdf/95rmsour/1995/954runne/at2/troubles.pdf Grab a cup of coffee (if...

You have a pretty clean 4Runner! It looks like rust is minimal (if any) and has the usual wear spots. It looks like an aftermarket cruise control switch stalk to me. :fro:

The 80A Fusible Link feeds many circuits. With your multimeter connected inline and measuring amps, start pulling fuses individually, checking the amp draw after pulling each fuse. If the amp draw goes down significantly, you have found a major source of the amp draw. Just be careful with your...
