Maybe Starter? Bit of added info. When trying to start the car by turning the ignition over and over I would hear a low whining noise coming from the engine bay while the key was fully turned over (would hold key fully turned over for a few seconds...sometimes it would start while holding...

Team, Been having issues starting the ‘96 V6 3.4L 4Runner. Started couple weeks back while I was driving on the highway when the battery light flickered, a belt started squealing and the front windshield wipers would randomly turn on then back off all around the same time. After this, and every...

Oi, TheDurk the vehicle is a 96' 4Runner SR5 Auto 3.4L V6 4WD with ~300km. It does have an aftermarket remote starter and alarm, Stinger HPM series, never had a problem with it in the 8 years I'v owned it tho. Bit of an update, went to go try and start it today and it was completely dead...

Oi, I noticed today after parking that after I turned the keys to the off position that the engine was still running. The speed, RPM's and Temp's all dropped however the engine was still very much on (rumble and exhaust). Any thoughts? To shut the engine off I currently have to put the keys...

Hokay so bit of an update! Cleaned my MAF, IAC, throttle body (fully took it apart, sprayed and cleaned) and replaced my air filter and I'm still getting the occasional rough low idle that's slightly less frequent l. Not sure what else to do? Would changing my PCV have much effect? Any...

Thanks a bunch! It was the brake dust sheild! I was changing the brakes and rotors while finding the problem, gave the sheild a few good whacks and now it's pretty smooth.

Oi, Had my 96'-V6 (~300,000 km) parked outside the past 7 days without use. The temp was about 3C while parked and when I went to start it today it was dead. Battery is 1 year old. Only cause I could imagine other than being a bad battery is that lately my door ajar light on my dash (not the...

Sry, forgot to mention, 3.4L-V6/4WD/300,000 km (~185,000 miles). The MAF, IAC and intake were all on the list of things to check when experiencing the initial rough idle but didn't get to since replacing the injector worked...at the time... Perhaps time to revisit. Thanks! Phrased like that...

Oi, Been experiencing some rough idle at low RPM's. No fault codes are present, have also searched with Torq App and nothing shows up. Any thoughts? Some relevant history: Was experiencing the same problem about 6 months ago to the extent that a fault code was appearing. It said there was a...

Thanks for the replies, took a look under the truck and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. I will have to take the wheel off when I have time and post back with what I find! Cheers!

Oi, Was driving on the freeway when I noticed that whenever I would make a slight turn a constant rotational (proportional to my velocity) metal squealing sound would appear from the front passenger wheel. This sound would temporarily go away once the wheel was centred and usually after I...

I had replaced the O2 Sensor about 1 year prior, so I think you are right and don't think this will fix it. I was worried about this prior to changing my injector, so I purchased a spare set of gaskets for the 3 injectors along the same fuel rail I would be replacing. I only changed the top...

I don't drive often but I will set this up and try to monitor it as much as possible, thanks for the advice. Just out of curiosity, how does the system determine if it is running too lean or rich? With the addition of a new injector, the system now sees that this injector is inputting more fuel...

Alright, long time lurker, first time poster (or 16th time i guess...) 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 3.4L Automatic ~ 290km (180k miles) About a month ago I noticed I was idling pretty rough, however at higher RPM's it seemed to run fine. CEL came up so I ordered an OBD II (with Torque App). The...
