Tranny Hmmm..... Hadn't considered the tranny to be the issue. I'll take a look tonight and see what checks I can perform on it. Thanks for the suggestion. I will also check the timing again as someone suggested. If any other ideas... Let me know please. They are most appreciated. I just hate...

What can be the issue? So any ideas where I should start looking next to bump up that mileage? I did not replace every sensor. I know that a lot of people often say this, " Somedays it just runs great and other days it just feels sluggish". I know this does not say much but this is pretty much...

Hey guys, need your thinking hat on to tell me what I am missing here. I am currently average 15.6 mpg on an 85 toyota 4runner 2.4L automatic with BF's 31.5s. Things I have done: *rebuilt engine (long block) *cleaned out intake *triple checked timing *replaced all fuel injectors (had fuel...

Hey guys.... anyone ever had fuel in their oil? I rebuilt my 85 4runner 22re engine. I put about 800 miles on it and changed the oil. I noticed the oil was very thin. I took a wiff and smell gas in the oil. I did not replace the injectors during the rebuild. I have always had issues starting...

Grille Assembly Do you still have the front grille and the head light doors (chrome pieces around the head lights that attach to the grill) if so.. how much to ship to 78253? thx. Shallowrunner

Engine Coolant Sensor Just went through this same issue with a Ford Explorer 94. The vehicle would always start fine, but after driving it for a few minutes... usually after 10 minutes, if I were to turn it off, then it would be very difficult to start. I also would have a gass (flooding)...

Glad you guys liked it. Hopefully it will help someone who's never made that adjustment before. Shallowrunner.

Since all readings where now within spec. I ensured that both bolts on the TPS sensor were tight and I reinstalled the TPS into the vehicle in reverse order. I then took the truck on a test drive. When I returned, I wanted to check to see if any codes were present. I found the "T" diagnostic...

Next I separated the throttle body. I used a rubber mallet and tapped softly. <img src="http://acornejo.smugmug.com/Other/Toyota-TPS-Sensor-Adjustment/IMG0397/1168214101_GxUS7-S.jpg"> Next I tilted the body upward to look on the underside. Now I can remove the other water bypass tube. <img...

Okay folks.... So I ventured to start this thread with the hopes of understanding the most correct way to adjust the TPS sensor. Well... I have performed the adjustments base on an article that I was provided a link to. I am very pleased with the results and the 4Runner appears to be responding...

Well... I can testify that if the throttle position sensor is not set properly or the values have changed with time... It WILL cause performance issues. Some issues are: Erratic shifting such as hunting for gears Transmission shifts too early or too late Poor gas mileage Lack of power or very...

TurboSR5... Now that is what I am talking about! Nice link! I will try this procedure and post back my results. Thanks for taking the time to find the link! Shallowrunner

LOL..... that was good!!! Thanks for the response. Seems I need to work out a few bugs still then.

Is this the V6 engine?

Cometobanks, If you don't mind me asking...what size rims and tires are you running on your 4runner? I take it that when you say, "Mine is pretty peppy", that you are also running a 4 cyl 2.4 engine. Yeah I know that it is a small motor... it just that since I have been tweaking the TPS...
