Haven't tried anything yet, wanted to check here before I dove in. I'll check the IAC to see how dirty it is. Thanks for the tip. Haven't tried resetting the ECU. Just disconnect the battery correct?

Thanks for the tip. I assume that's for the misfire. It's been to the dealer and they've done their fuel system clean on it. I'll try running a handful of cleaners through there before I remove the injector. Any insight to the low idle?

My 4runner has an extremely low idle. When I start it, it drops to below the first big tik on the tachometer, which I assume is 500. It stays there without surging or anything, but just seems way too low. At a light, I can barely hear it running. When in drive I can let off the brake and the...

Check rock auto for parts. They carry Denso parts for less then the stuff at the auto part stores. I just bought a denso fuel pump and filter myself.

Yea, I'm truly impressed with the 450k. The sport has 180k I think, but expect it to go the same distance. That one in NY is clean, and an amazing price. Only worry would be rust. Maybe a local forum member could crawl under it for you.

Got a silver one in Florida I thought about selling if color isn't a big issue.

I just bought some for the month. Shoot me a PM with your email and the VIN, and I'll run it.

My initial thought was idle was set low because the car wouldn't idle along like most cars. Also, once you put it into drive or reverse, and let off the brake (on a flat surface) it just sits there until you give it gas. At a stop light, the idle drops to around 500, almost inaudible. Run great...

Big slip on my part, meant "In drive" not "Park". Was trying to do two things at once, all while having the lady talking in my ear about what so-and-so did. Will edit original post

Rolls backwards in drive??? So test dove a 2001 4runner, came up to a hill and let my foot off the brakes and the 4runner started rolling backwards (which is normal), but it continued to roll as if I was in neutral. Usually, or at least every automatic I've owned would stop after a foot or two...

That would be ideal, but with school in full swing, I only have a day to give each week. That's what I did with my VW Vanagon though. Bought in NY, drove it to FL.

Well, I'm backing out of this one. Seller seemed somewhat cooperative until I asked about rust. Then he said it had some rust "just on the wheels". Then when I'm confirming a time to come look, he says there is rust on wheels and frame. WTF!!! So then I ask how bad, and he states not bad. I ask...

Yea, the up North has me a little worries as well. Claimed to be rust free. I'm definitely going to look around and see though. Are the 4runners having similar issues like the tacomas with rust?

It's sold. I called the guy the day he posted it. Think someone bought it a day after he posted it here.

Vehicle is from a Northern State. I want to say Mass. I thought it might of been abused, but the owners who abuse vehicles usually don't fit the vehicle history. Dealership service every 5k. Continued to replace expensive parts after warranty. Looks clean from pics, and doesn't appear to...
