Auseeker Thank you for my only reply! :) At the dealer I had them get me the tech, he assured me he used the teacstream solenoid actuated process and there is definitely no air in the system. I also tried your recommendation a few times already to no avail. :/ I do have a question, that day...

Hey guys! 2 years ago did my brakes with a friend, we accidentally let the master cylinder suck some air. Finished the job and pedal was never really the same Flushed the fluid many times since then to no avail and pads are still at 6mm today. If I double pump i get the pedal feel that i once...

Sorry I missed one comment randy88fj62 Yes years. It started around 30k out of nowhere really. At this point I was a consultant for the Toyota dealership where I purchased the vehicle new. It still had a warranty and I was in a very good position to get some really good eyes on...

Gentlemen thank you In order I guess Keros The a/c is cold, cycles on and off, and little uptick in idle and back down during engage/disengage, belt and pulleys are quiet. All supporting the compressor being ok. Checked the plugs they look good. They are still young. That is an interesting...

I'm searching and searching everywhere to find an average catalytic temp for 4runner.... Tough to find. Anybody can check it would be great. Best T

@ Electroboy Yes with ac on. Kind of slow to accelerate without (just thought it was old age) In general there has always been a huge loss in power with a/c on. But the bog is different, it could get me in an accident entering a highway for example. Maybe its happening without also but just...

Plugs changed with dealer denso iridium last year, could still give em a check. Catalytic is a good one, could be. I'll have to look up how to check em. I do notice they run at idle around 900ish but as soon as I start to drive they shoot up to 1400/1500, then if I stop and hang they will cool...

I'd add that I feel like I detected previously some slight surging or better engagement/lock/power after 2800 rpm... Could maybe it be a worn torque converter? Is that a thing with these...

Gentlemen, '07 V8 Limited 225k - Owner 14 years now. Problem: No power Conditions: 85 degrees and over, a/c on, average drive 7 miles, 5x a day. I know the summer is rough on this truck with the a/c running and sometimes even the fan fully engaged. But I know this vehicle well and this is...

AuSeeker, Regarding your questions, I'll try to clear up for you. 1. "Hunter" is a very well know manufacturer of wheel balancing tools/machines. They make a model called the 9700 that has a feature called roadforce, it's an additional step added to the traditional balancing process that...

Hey guys, 4 Michelin Latitude Tour HP 265/60/18 on stock rims 10 days ago. Vibrations continued after 4 balances at the tire shop. Went to another shop for roadforce balance. What a difference! Much much smoother. What's bothering me is the report I was given. Driver front 5lbs green Pass...

+1 Drives me nuts! Can't stand to hear it! I would've done it already with oem but theres a lot of talk it will happen again in a very short which has caused me not to pull the trigger. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

DiskDoctr!! I can't believe that is on my truck!! Makes no sense at all! Thanks for the pic.

Hilife Interesting, I googled it but everything I read seems to be more about a vibration regarding the converter bolts. I will add it to my list though to have checked. Nowayout I guess a few tanks of mid-grade couldn’t hurt. I’ll try it thx DiskDoctr post from 3/17 1:16pm I’ll check the...

Wow! thanks for all the quick responses... i''l try to answer the questions... Stuck Caps... - Had the exhaust manifold checked, but never fully removed to look for those deep cracks. (on a scale 1-10 if theirs a crack it will detonate?) - It is less pronounced in the cold weather (but a...
