Ok, maybe I didn't read the threads right but this is far from a plug and play install. After getting the truck in the air and getting the old spring out I knew that the FJ80 coils weren't going to sit in the cones correctly. This was the point of no return. With the help of my buddy and his...

take off the cover and count them

generally with a dirty throttle body it won't idle well, not idle too high. Make sure your idle air control valve is functioning. If it sticks open it will raise the idle. Also I would check all vacuum lines for leaks and cracks. You can spray the tb cleaner on the suspected vac lines and if...

Put the front end up in the air and with your hands at 3 and 9 o clock rock the tire back and forth. If there is movement, time for tie rods. Hands at 12 and 6 will tell you if you got bad ball joints.

After reading the writeup on this mod, from the yotatech, I'd recommend using a tap instead of messing with the o-ring/washer combo. Just put some pipe thread tape on the brass fittings and don't over tighten. I used this same method to mount my nozzle for my water meth on my scion. It sprays...

most power gains in older vehicles like ours isn't because of a magic muffler or exhaust system. They are from old parts that have lived their full life and just need replaced. Over time they build up carbon and soot, that being said a leaky exhaust can be just as bad for performance. Any...

why won't the local shop touch it?

proofread?? I'd recommend taking it to a professional. This is just a guess but it sounds like it taking a while for a seal to swell up on your forward planetary. Once again just a guess but it's hard to diagnose over the web. Good luck!

I'd start with plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Chances are they are getting old anyway. Congrats on the purchase

fuel pump would start cutting out at high rpms then eventually fail all together. I can tell you from experience my 93 4runner will run without o2 sensor or coolant temp. I just bought it the other day and the o2 sensor is non existent and the coolant temp sensor is I assume not working as my...

battery flat and hasn't been driven for two weeks means its been in an auction lot for 3 months.. just saying, make sure they refresh all the fluids and don't hesitate to take it to a mechanic who you trust, better to spend some money to find out you don't want it than get burned. Good Luck!

My 93 has a drain plug on the tranny. Also, overfilling causing foaming and all sorts of issues in an automatic. It is actually better to have low fluid than high (I know sounds stupid). I'm not sure how this transmission is set up but generally there are a few things that will control an...
