Thanks for the reply. I did find that one. It is for the forward and back movement only. I need help with recline.

Power Seat Repair: Recline? Driver seat won't recline all the way up. Makes cracking noise when reclining up or down and jams before going all the way up. Suspect shot nylon gears. Is a repair possible, or does the seat need to be replaced? Thanks.

Here are pictures of the TPS split in half. Its just a potentiometer (as everyone probably suspected or already knew). The resistance pad shows wear marks in the area where it is used most (10% - 20% Absolute Throttle Position), and the silver-colored contact fingers have deposits of the...

What tool do you use to look at input/output data? I have a pretty simple and cheap scan tool. Maybe I can improve on that.

Installed the new OEM TPS, and drove 30 miles. No engine dropouts, and the Absolute Throttle Position reading remained correct (no longer dropped to 0% or 2%). A nice round of applause goes to Charlie for his help.

While driving today, I monitored the Absolute Throttle Position (ATP) with a scan tool. Cruising on flatland freeway, ATP was 17%, but it would drop to 0% or 2% when the engine would cut out even though the gas pedal position did not change. This is a strong indication that the TPS is bad.

Yeah, and the engine needs to be running to vibrate the TPS to test it properly. Part is arriving next week. Thanks.

Absolute Throttle Position for the spare car is 12-75% with a 700 RPM idle.

I ordered an OEM TPS. The TPS that is in the car now reads 10% Absolute Throttle Position at idle with the car warmed up and the air conditioner off. The idle is 950 RPM. The idle probably should be 600 RPM, but Absolute Throttle Position is probably correct, at least according to this thread...

Engine Cuts Out and In This is a followup post to https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/316455-engine-stutters.html The engine in my 2000 V6 2WD 4Runner OD 180K cuts out and in when driving on the freeway. Mostly the car cruises good and has good acceleration, but it has its moments. It...

I cancelled the Amazon order.

Found a link in a YouTube video to Amazon for the ignition coils. Just search under: Denso- 6731201 DIRECT IGNITION COIL Placed an order. Great price. I'm checking into the ICM.

Walmart is out of stock. RockAuto has an incredibly good price but says "Non-stock item--shipping delayed up to 2 business days" RockAuto looks incredibly good. I never shopped there. Are they reputable? I saw RockAuto listed an Ignition Control Module, ICM. Maybe this is causing my problem?

The only Denso on Amazon are out of my shipping area. eBay doesn't have them. The dealer wants over double of Amazon's price. Where can I get Denso besides the dealer?

I bet these are good too? 3 pc DENSO Direct Ignition Coils compatible with Toyota 4Runner 3.4L V6 1996-2002 3 pc NGK Ignition Coils compatible with Toyota 4Runner 3.4L V6 1996-2002
