Again thank you everyone for chiming in. Puts my mind at ease and makes me love my 3rd gen more every day. Still haven’t decided between my 2000 and 2005 which is preferred. Thanks everyone!

Interesting…my 2005 4Runner and wife’s 2019 Highlander does not have the same starting when engine is warm. Both start the same as a cold engine. But anyways, thank you everyone for letting me know it’s just the way these engines are. It’s a big relief for me, but I will however clean the IAC...

This happened before I changed the battery as well. It’s been happening since I bought it 2 years ago. It’ll start every time no matter what, just super fast when warm. And when it’s warm, it’ll settle around 700rpm or so? I don’t drive it daily or actually much at all. Have a company car that I...

Will do, I’ll look into it and clean it when I get a chance. Thanks!

By faster I mean this. When engine is cold, it’ll take say 2 seconds to start or so. Whe engine is warm and operating temp it’ll start in like 1/4 of a second

So I should look into the crank position sensor? Thanks for the info, I’ll do some research

Before I go any further I have searched for answers on the forum. Some threads were close to my symptoms, but not exact. New battery, alternator, starters, battery cables So when my engine is cold, it starts normal. Whenever I am running errands or traveling and the engine is at operating...

Well I got it installed. Took about 2.5hrs but that’s for a few reasons. I took my time and watched the videos, but the hardest part was finding bolts to use to get that bushing out so the new alternator could go in. Hardware store is a good drive from me. Also dropped flex wrenches, sockets and...

Should I also spray electric cleaner on the connection to the alternator? Also the title of thread should be *Denso. Not density, damn auto correct

Sweet good to know. I’ll shop around and take a look there. Thanks!

Thats good to know. I’ll have to try that this weekend before I order a new one. Thanks for the information! Yeah, I’d rather not be stranded at the worst time.

First thank you for all the helpful videos, I’m sure you get that a lot from everyone, but it’s a lifesaver for guys like me who want to learn and need a little extra confidence in wrenching. Thanks for the information. I’ll buy a new one and put it in, then repair the original since I’d...

Thank you for the information! That’s what I needed to know

I appreciate this forum and all the great info on here. I have looked through a lot of previous threads before I posted this one so here is my question When everyone says get a Denso alternator, is there a model specific? On RockAuto, there is model 2100434 for around $200. Toyota has a...

I know it’s been a few years since this thread, but what shop did you use? I’m in the area
