Thank you MUCH for that link. reading that over to me completely confirms what I was thinking. As great as toyota vehicles are I'm just not sure about that design overall... Thanks again for hte link. Perfect!

Anyone have any idea? An educated guess is fine with me too! :bump:

Hello all, First I haven't needed to post a question in a long time which is a tribute to these great vehicles! I have a 99 SR5 4runner with 187000 miles. Very trouble free vehicle. 2 weeks ago I was away on a business trip and after having vehicle in a parking garage for a week in the...

crigo I actually live down in Bedford now! When I first joined the forum I lived out near Sidman... But noone knows where that is so I always just put Johnstown since at least that is on a map! heh.

Jaywill If it is just the contacts (as it was in my case) its about $30 to buy them (buy both sides since while you have it apart it only makes sense) and its probably about 2 to 3 hours labor. Not always fun labor! and make sure you have metric sizes or you can forget it of course. You will...

Well I ordered the contacts the other day. Should be in this week. I agree that there is absolutely no reason to spend $200 when you don't need too. many people replace a starter when its just a contact... etc. I talked to my toyota parts guy locally and he agreed. He said he thinks its...

HI all thanks for the info. I also searched online last night and found out info about the start contacts. So i'm going to start with those mainly because its $15. SO if its not it, its not like i'm losing alot either and I'm sure its much cheaper than a starter. here are two links I found...

Hi everyone, I read pretty regularly but rarely post. Today I ran into an issue I am hoping maybe someone knows an answer or suggestion to. I work near my house and had to go home at lunchtime. I went out to my 4runner (99 w/103,000 miles) and turned the key and click. Just one solid...

Just wanted to let everyone know. The Dealer called and the plugs are bad. One cylinder was not firing at all. So they are replacing both the plugs and the wires. I'm not too upset about it really. The brakes were a bit more serious with new rear shoes needed and they recommended the front...

Hi all the wires are original. 99. the plugs i am not positive but I think around 25000. Its at the dealer for diagnostics today. I was going to do plugs and wires myself but I thought if its something else I might as well just let them find the issue. Plus they adjusted my rear brakes...

Just wanted to let everyone know i put in the injector cleaner and have run about 40 miles so far and no change. the jerk occurs at RPM of about 1600 and 58 MPH always occurs right around where a gear switch should happen. If i depress pedal further and the gear switches the issue goes away...

I don't have anyone close by who has MMO on the shelf. I did get some fuel injector cleaner and also some Gas treatment. My fuel take was low. below a quarter tank. that MIGHT be the problem. I'm not sure. we'll try this... Do you think I should try some premium gas. like 5 gal worth...

Nope not one check engine light but a definate issue. its not TERRIBLY serious right now but i'm worried it could and will get worse. I suppose maybe i'll call the dealer.. Anyone else have a suggestion?

Hello Yesterday I was driving my 99 4 runner and was going about 40 mph and pushed the gas peddle about 1/4 to 1/2 way down (normal acceleration) and the engine starting to shake. ALmost like it was not getting enough fuel or something. At first I thought it was the tranny but now I have...

Is there noone out there with any idea on this engine rattle? Whether good or bad I was just trying to get a feel for what it might be.... Oh well I call the dealer tomorrow. I will keep you all updated if your interested.... let me know
