Thanks all! Your tips led me to the A/C clutch and as I was following that wire, I found the problem: a cut / frayed wire that was shorting out against the outside of the compressor itself. Picture attached. After pulling it away from the compressor, the A/C doesn't blow fuses & cools...

Fellow 3rd Geners -- my son & I are having a problem with his 2000 T4R & the A/C -- here is what we're experiencing: - A/C worked great last year. I'd replaced the whole system only 2 years ago -- compressor, condenser, drier, etc. w/ OEM parts - the A/C button broke so after "paperclipping"...

Ooop... clearly not thinking straight at 6AM. Will repost... and thank you! Moderator... please delete this particular thread: I'll post it in the 3rd gen forum. Sorry for the trouble!

Thanks guys. It's my UEGO / aftermarket wideband AFR gauge that is pegged down at AFR 10 when the truck goes into this mode. I just started it up and within 5 mins it was doing this again -- it used to happen after ~30 mins but now it's happening much more quickly. The dash temp gauge appears...

Hi all -- I have a TRD supercharged '02 T4R w/ the AEM FIC-6 and Supra injectors. The truck has worked well with this setup for the past 4-5 years but recently after driving for ~30 mins it suddenly starts running ridiculously rich -- pegged at 10 AFR on the wideband with black puffs coming...

Never noticed the little "nubs" in the garage door opener compartment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpCUw-W41uk&t=2s (fast forward to 5:45 to see Doug talk about them. He doesn't miss a beat!)

Totally different vehicle and setup but the exact same symptom: Rough Idle in Warm Weather - Automotive | DSLReports Forums And an explanation from another site: Cold weather means denser air and leaner AFR's. I've also noticed richer A/F ratios in hot weather. I originally tuned my A/F...

Thanks guys! Super helpful — I definitely need to pull fuel out of the map and this is good feedback on where to do it. I know some guys run multiple tunes on the AEM FIC6 - switchable via a toggle switch. Wasn’t sure if seasonality was one reason to toggle here. I definitely pulled timing (post...

Thanks Jerod. Yeah, the ST trim is showing -22%... -23% at certain moments shortly after startup which is surely what is triggering the code. What’s tough is that when it warms up it smooths out and I’ve seen it at 0% ST when sitting at lights idling. I probably need to pull some fuel on idle...

So... this is probably a stupid question but I’m hoping the answer confirms my suspicions: my 4Runner with the TRD supercharger was tuned on 380cc injectors in the Winter and ran well. Now that it’s warmer outside it idles really rough when cold and then is fine shortly thereafter (when the...

Yeah... Long Island truck that spent most of its life in CA. The body and interior look fantastic — thought I had found a gem. Good candidate for frame swap but not ready for that big of a project. Trailering this one home in itself would have been expensive. It’s a shame people don’t tune in...

The seller discloses there is some frame rust... and proceeds to send you this picture: (how is that not in the original listing!)

Unpainted

I remember that feeling! I did the swap myself - will share the story here on T4R.org: could help others avoid the same situation that led to replacement of the engine and transmission. I still use the engine hoist here and there but the pair of engine stands sit unused. My 12 year old wants a...
