Sensor I have a '98 runner and had the same problem about 3 months ago. Bought my new sensor at Advance Auto. Crawled underneath to locate the sensor. Found out their was two of them on the header pipe. If I remember right I replaced only the sensor nearest the engine. Read somewhere where...

Revo Tire Review I have the Revo's on my '98 Runner with 32,000 miles on them. So far, they have been excellent and I should be able to get the 50,000 miles out of them. One tire has been plugged and has never been a problem. Checked on some Revo's (last set of the old style Revo's)...

Went to Auto Zone to purchase spark plugs for the 98 V6 4 Runner. They only carry Bosch in the dual tang/electrode plug at over $6.00 each + tax. Decided to try the Toyota Dealer. $4.23 each for Nippendenso dual electrode plugs - out the door price: $27.43 including tax. NGK single...

I am having a similiar problem with my 98 4Runner. Had new pads and rotors turned about 12 months ago. Vibration problem is back. It was the second time the rotors had been turned. Got an estimate of $445.00 at a local Mieneke Brake Shop to replace the rotors and install new pads. Only good...

I went to look at a 97 Runner at my local Toyota dealer last Friday but was told the car was being worked on by Toyota. I asked what the problem was and they said a blown headgasket. It had a little over 96,000 miles on it. So, it appears that it is still happening in the 97's. They told me...

1996 Possible Buy Took a look at the 4runner this evening and walked away from it. It was just as I stated, very nice condition but unfortunately the lady wanted retail price and I just wasn't willing to pay it. It is a 9+ year old 4runner that has been taken care of. Private party Blue...

I will be looking at a 1996 Limited 4Runner this evening and would like some opinions. It is in excellent condition, non-smoker, second owner for the last 6 years. 105,000 on odometer. Fully loaded. Leather interior in great condition as well as carpets. Woodgrain type dash panel. Moonroof...

R134A??? Thanks for the information. I just had my 1990 Volvo recharged yesterday with something called Freeze 12 (no CFC's). I understand it is only available to authorized service technicians. Works okay but nothing like R12. Of course older Volvo's have always had lousy AC systems.

I have just purchased a 1998 4Runner Limited. Did this year use 134A Freon or is it the old R12 Freon? Thanks.

$13750 cash deal. I always feel I make a tolerable deal at the car dealers but Kelly Blue Book runs it out at $16,600 retail with all my accessories and options. NADA was right at $14,995 and If I remember right Edmunds was around $14,750. Taking into account that I got a $1200 JAOS Custom...

Nothing special on the Runner. Limited edition with leather seats, moonroof, luggage rack, cruise, tilt, electric chairs(seats),upgraded cd system, fog/ driving lights. Previous owner spared no expense on the runner but obviously kept it parked in the garage most of the time. Found window...

What year will the mats fit. I have a 1998 Runner Limited. Thanks

Just purchased this 1998 Limited 4X4 at a local dealership through an internet search. 52,893 miles in like new condition. Previously owned a 1993 Runner. My son informed me that the grill on this car is very expensive but offers very little real protection and is basically an overpriced...
