This toyota is my girlfriends 1994 4runner v6 truck and has been one problem after another. 150k miles on the truck. I have replaced the plugs and the wires for this truck about 1.5 years ago. i have replaced the starter and fixed a cracked intake tube issue. i also had to clear a coolant...

Good News Gentleman. I decided to check the coolant hose to the throttle body and when i pulled it off it was chock full of rust and dirt. Well i removed the throttle body from the intake and grabbed the air compressor stuck the blowing tip in outlet when the coolant leaves the throttle body...
