Thanks for the info on the ground, The engine turns over fine with a wrench, had no issues while adjusting valves.

I have a 88 4runner, 22re, 5speed that I've sas'd. I bought it with the top end of the motor apart and since getting it back together I'm having trouble with the starter. The starter turns the engine very slow (still fast enough to crank though). The starter is brand new and wasn't installed...

Problem solved. I did a little more investigating in the daylight this evening. I found that the number 4 spark plug was the issue. The problem was intermittent and the best I could tell it was cylinder 6, however it was actually cylinder 4. The crush washer on the spark plug was jammed on...

It's cylinder 6, I'm gonna check the cmpression when I get home from work and no I didn't swap coil packs. I'll check that also.

I have a '97 sr5 5 speed 4runner, and broke the rear end yesterday. I found a guy selling a 96-04 tacoma rear with a posi unit. Both are 4:10's, however my 4 runner axle is a 4 pinion and the tacoma is a 2 pinion. Can I swap the entire third members?, or are they different sizes? I'm taking...

M/t Mickey Thompson MTZ's 265/75's... they fit on my stock height '97 no rubbing no cutting, and they wear very well.

I've got a 1997 4runner, 3.4, 5speed. Last year, and now this year I have had trouble with the windshield (and sometimes after extended use, all of the other windows fogging up). The A/C works, and when I turn the defroster on cold it works fine. Whenever I use the defroster on Heat, the air...
