A good place to start is review the fuel trim data like short, long, and total. I would check it at idle and off idle under load to get a good understanding to what the ECU is doing. If you don't have access to an advance scan tool. I suggest you take it to a good repair shop like a Toyota...

:lol: why? Will you even know how to read and understand the results:rolleyes:

Not to be rude but you made everyone that read your reply to the OP that much dumber:Cry: So I'll correct you. The downstream o2 can affect fuel trim by 5% +/- and in some makes and models up to 10%+\-. This can be viewed by looking at your total fuel trim on how much is being adjusted by the...

That labor is pretty cheap!

It depends from to shop to shop. Some shop charges a flat fee for labor plus parts. But any dealership or independent shop with charge a fee per. hour plus parts. The shop I work for is $125 per. hour labor. The book time on that rear end overhual and rebuild is 8hrs according to alldata. So at...

I've worked as an auto technician for 20 years now. And there are times I'll get a customer stays that my window was working before statement after coming in for an oil change or a 30k service. I always call it BS when it's not relate to the service performed. There my 2 cents. The tech checked...

Great! Another dumbass raised everyone's insurance. :flipoff::flipoff:

diagnostic trouble code = DTC

The only way a TPS will cause a rich or lean condition is if it was replaced and not set correctly or a corrode ground circuit. Or is low 5v ref. due to corrosion on power side of the circuit. NO, the ECU will NOT compensate for a glitch, specially on an OBD2 system. If the ECU see's it and...

If the problem is consisten at setting DTC that would be a good thing. The Toyota tech stream can be set to recorded once a DTC is set. The technician can can review data 50% or more prior to DTC was set. That way fuel trims and other data can be reviewed. Now as far as labor charges it really...

A failing TP will NOT cause an idle misfire. But the symptom felt may feel like a misfire to some. When there is short, open, or dead spot during acceleration from a stop with the TP circuit, a bucking or sligth hesitation is felt. Most TP dead spot or open is within the first 30% of it's...

A fuel service will do nothing on a dirty or injector with flow issues. The fuel service are only good for injectors that not causing any drivability problems. They meant to keep clean injectors healthy. I would find a doctor injector (Doctor Injector) or contact rc injector (Fuel Injector...

OP, their is no point to this thread. If you and I started a thread titled "coolant in oil due to failing oil cooler". Ever dumbass on this forum will by pass that cooler too. Think about this.. you're trying to convince a group of people who reads and throws hundreds of dollars in parts to fix...

Does anyone know if someone has installed a center locking diff. from the 01-02 on a 97 runner? I tried searching and no luck. Provide links for me to read of the install.

Good! We will only tell you to throw parts on your problems anyways. You're better off getting professional advise from a really shop. We are just a bunch of back yard wanna be pro.'s. Trust me:dance::lol::lol::lol::lol: Misfire: Start with plugs, wires, and if that don't fix it maybe injectors...
