I checked for codes since I returned from my trip and nothing appeared till this afternoon!! P0120 appeared while I was idling and scanning live data... I cleared the code. I set my reader up for live data, and kept an eye on it while running errands around town. Looked totally normal. on my...

I havent changed the kickdown cable adjustment... I was thinking about the TPS. Is there some way to monitor the TPS output voltage?

The first time I noticed this happening, I floored it and I had no downshift at all. As I was just starting up a hill, the truck started to slow and revs dropped, so I pulled over, discovered I could shift manually into lower gears, and then shut the engine off. I re-started and the vehicle...

I own a 1998 SR5. Auto, A strange issue has arisen. I've experienced this 3 times so far. During regular driving, the truck shifts normally. When I went on an extended highway drive, I noticed that if I pressed the accelerator, even to the floor, the truck will not down shift. I could shift...

Still running great! I've put 120k km since the swap. Aside from a bad injector, a helicoil and a cracked fuel line, no problems with the engine. I have replaced brakes (only once as I have the TBU!), totally rebuilt the front suspension-- all moving parts including bushings with the exception...

I have not heard of a cam bolt breaking either. You're probably right about the over torquing. With the age of our 4runners, most have probably had multiple TB's replaced--- and seals.... I came across failing bolts last Fall, as in the middle of rebuilding my 94 Celica. I was in the wrecking...

My 4runner is still my primary vehicle! The swap I did is still running strong! The only hiccup I've had was a popped plug, cylinder 3, a couple of years back, which I Helo-coiled.. last year I spotted the first signs of frame rust, so I spent a couple of days wire brushing and applying "Surface...

Thanks for the response! It's great to see activity on this forum! I link people here whenever I can. I'm hearing of more swaps for sure. The 3vz has a reputation of head gasket failures, and the 5vz seems to be cracking heads--- but not nearly as common as the 3vz headgasket failures. It's...

If those are the 16", they are the same as mine. I have the 231's....

hello out there... I think Devbot and JBurt are unfortuately right... I must admit, I havent been on much myself. I still very much have my 4R. I've had to Helicoil cyl 3, rebuilt the front end and installed poly bushings all around and replaced all shocks--- twice. I'm now approaching 450k---...

still goin' It's been a while since this thread was updated. If you started a new thread please link! looking forward to seeing what you've been up to!!

update Well, it has been sometime! I just rebuilt the front end and installed new shocks all around! Its tight again and rides nice. I can't believe the Rancho's 9000xl only lasted 6 years. the OME springs are still great. I'm nearing 450K now, and still love it. As for Celicas, I still...

Interesting I had a similar problem in 22', I hadn't driven mine for almost a month (on vac), I went to start it and it turned over slowly... Measured the voltage at 10.8v, after charging the voltage dropped, so I bought a new battery. After I installed it, it took a little time to catch...

Any updates?? Do you still have the 4runner? I haven't checked in on a while, but your 4runner, not to mention the Supra are works of art... and love!! I'm still trucking in my 98 SR5, and I've just started a 94 Celica GTS as a project car... Hoping for some updates!
