Unless the max draw is spelled out in Service Info you can use the RC of the battery in minutes divided by 4....100 minute RC max draw 25 milliamps.

First thing is get your battery load tested....what is your parasitic draw and what is minimum to you ??...draw is usually the Reserve Capacity of the battery divided by 4...100 minute RC is 25 milliamps...pulling fuses is NOT the proper way to perform a parasitic drain....voltage drop testing...

Helping my neighbor with his rear 01 Tundra O2 sensor removal...are the rear nuts being VERY rusty something that is common ??...checked a Youtube video and the gentleman removing his is faced with this issue also !!

You may have excessive alternator ripple (bad alternator diode) causing these kinds of issues...they will affect any sensor that uses AC voltage...wheel speed sensors and speedo/Tach...video below !! Bad Alternator Diode causing transmission/speedometer problems - YouTube

Thanks !!....I'll go look for it and right now I'm letting the engine cool down...Maybe I'll subscribe to Alldata and see if their info is better..thanks again.

Hi All, Doing a coolant flush on my 2016 with the 1FR-FE engine and looking for the block cololant drain plug...my service info on Mitchell shows it below the oil filler neck and is a banjo fitting...not real clear...is this the drain ??

I'll have to try this !!...tired of putting it in neutral at a stoplight...even worse when the AC is on.

If I were you I'd REPLACE that relay with OEM since it had worked fine after it was swapped out...let me know how it works out...I'm usually in the C5 Corvette Forum as a Technical Advisor but since I have a 2016 4 Runner I occasionally stop by here...these trucks have very few issues...we have...

Measure the voltage drop using the voltmeter across each fuse until you find the one that is NOT reading zero !!...you can convert the millivoltage to milliamps using a chart that you can Google !!...just make sure that all the cars modules are "sleeping" ...maybe 20-30 minutes...and if you...

Hey All !!...just want to pass something along...last month I had the airbag recall done and after that it seemed like my key FOB was intermittently inop.I was going to bring the 2016 4 Runner back this morning to the dealership and they were going to see if a possible bad connection in the dash...

Had my recall done last month and I noticed that the R/H corner of the dash was not seated correctly and did see a few members that had the same issues...I have also noted that the key FOB has been intermittent and some days only work once. Well, it's going back next Monday to take the dash back...

A failing AC compressor CAN cause a misfire !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0LXtvY3Qdg&feature=youtu.be&t=6m50s

You said the miss occurs whenever the AC is on...a failing AC compressor can cause a miss...anything the can cause the crank to slow down !!...PCM uses the crank sensor to detect misfires...I'd take it to diagnostic shop and let them scope the injectors and secondary ignition...may be even...

I used POR 15 last year and that stuff is fantastic...you also should buy the degreaser and metal prep...whatever you do...DO NOT LET THAT STUFF DRY ON YOUR SKIN !!...NOTHING TAKES IT OFF !!....your skin has to flake off before it's gone...I had a bit on my forearm and it took 3 weeks before it...
