Appreciated. I'll do some testing to verify if the proper resistance range is being hit and if so, call it good.

Hey everyone, Trying to diagnose a potential issue with a 2011 4Runner Limited. Via OBDII signal, the TPS only reads as high as 65%, and at idle sits at 0%. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get raw voltage readings out. I know more about GM ECU tuning but typically at idle GM TPS's sit around...

So, finally able to get an update on this: All of my electrical issues are related to an intermittently failing alternator, that ultimately failed. The bearing in it completely seized. I've moved on to other projects, so as much as I love my 4runner, its time for it to move on. Going to have...

My "helpful" neighbor tossed my factory skid plate when he offered to take some stuff to the dump for me, but since my 4runner is primarily my winter vehicle and here in Maine the stuff they use on the road would rust plastic, I just need something to keep even a small percentage of the road...

So sorry to hear you're having issues already. I haven't had a chance to dig into mine yet - crazy year, new job, building a motorcycle. That said, your AC coming on full blast would indicate something larger. I know you checked battery connections - did you test the battery voltage with the...

Hello All, I'm putting this thread here both to ask for advice/opinions and to update in case anyone else runs into this. Issues: Headlight Bulb Connector Broken - need to replace... source? Intermittent issue with Speedometer reading zero - when this occurs, VSC/Trac/ABS lighs are on...

236,000 and having this issue and some harsh shifting. I plan on having a drain and fill done (unfortunate part of living with a gravel driveway and a well pump head right next to it,) but once that's done I'd like to add shudder fixx - are people adding it through the fill plug hole or another...

Decided to go brand new, 5100's for the front, and FJ Coils. Thanks for looking!

Hey everyone, 187,000 miles on the stock suspension and its time to replace it - figured I'd go up a tad and stiffen things up for our rough New England Roads. Prefer under 100,000 miles. What has anyone got? Im not sure what to go with for a price but I can go all brand new for around $500...

When I bought my truck, it didn't smell like it had been smoker owned... until I turned the defroster on. I checked my cabin air filter and saw... Changing that made a huge difference. That is not a carbon cabin air filter... it was supposed to be pure white.
