SOLVED OK so I did a whole load of searching around and decided to troubleshoot the Auxiliary Air Valve. I followed this thread: Disable Auxiliary Air Valve? - Page 2 - YotaTech Forums That brought the idle on startup back down to 1000, and after warmup it was around 900RPM and there was no...

OK, starting with the Idle speeds you are asking for. After the engine was started at roughly 40 F it initially idled at 1725 and then went up to 2000 within a few seconds. Then it started to hunt for RPM between 1700 and 2000 before it was up to temperature. I let it get up to temperature...

OK so I found the source of the jerkyness while idling in gear and the slow throttle response, and like you said Bearcat, it was a vacuum problem. The hose goes from the power steering pump directly onto the passenger side of the intake. so this is what that hose fixed in a nutshell: Slow...

I was just looking at some photos of the trottle body on a 3vze and was wondering, would a cap missing from the dashpot filter make any difference in throttle response, because it looks like the cap restricts air flow a little bit. my dashpot filter has been missing the cap since I bought the...

yes I have checked for vacuum leaks and found none, that was a few months ago though so it might be worth re-checking. Its got good compression and the spark plugs are new because I did the traditional 70K mile head gasket rebuild on it already ( that was 70K miles overdue). I replaced and...

95' 4runner 3VZE Myriad of problems (SOLVED) Before I start I have already searched the forums for the issues that are currently plauging my vehicle. So lets start with the simple things first, I recently replaced the distributor, TPS, and the Oxygen sensor. Before I replaced the oxygen sensor...

here are some photos of the AC tensioner on my 95' 3VZE. there is a bolt behind it that allows you to loosen/tighten the pulley. Front view: Side view (passenger side, camera facing driver side): Bottom view (camera facing up): I can take a peek at my shop manual if those pictures dont help.

do you have the 22RE or 3VZE?

lots of skill but in the end its not what I, or many of us here like.

Simple and free repairs are the best. my gen 2 is currently lying dormant. If I could give you a suggestion on tires, a 4" lift with 33s is a great combo.

I call mine the "toyoturd". When I got it the previous 2 owners had neglected it to say the least. the fixes over the first 6 months are in order: -engine rebuild and headgasket job (typical of the 3.SLOW) -new rear wheel bearings and gear oil, the old gear oil had NEVER been changed with...

I remembered when I did mine, it was a 45 minute ordeal, and after I put the engine back in the truck it was half a cog off, so off came the radiator, fan, intake, and manifold. again.

What was the material cost for the metal and turn signals? looks maaaaaad btw

Looking to replace the front bumper, anyone have any good suggestions for bull bar style bumpers that you dont have to sell your first born to get?
