I drove my 1986 4Runner with 343k from northern Virginia to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I had just finished changing all of the drivetrain fluids, and literally had drove 10 miles on my new clutch the day before I left. I had no problems what so ever, even got 26 mpg on the trip with all of...

My 94 22RE seems to get worse mileage in the winter also, I think it is a mix of the higher start up idle, higher normal idle once it is warmed up, and also I run my heater fan more, so I believe it is normal. It has been the same cycle since 94.

Hey I thought, since I found a solution that worked I would just put it up here just as a simple fix for a common problem, thanks for reading though.

6) That about does it. A little adjustment, and a few tests will be required to make sure it works correctly. Please feel free to suggest different ideas, but this worked for me and it was cheap, and easy to source parts for. Hope this helps. Below is a picture of it complete.

5) Take your second new cable and run it through the bracket [Picture Below] and through the long cable housing and hook it to the PS bracket the same way as you did on the DS seat track. I had to wedge the PS seat track up a little from all the way down latched and hook up my cable, it then...

4) Take one of your new cables and run it through the slot on the back of the seat, after you knock it back down [Picture Below]. Then run the cable through the cable housing that screwed on and then through the shorter cable housing. Finally run the cable through the slot on the DS seat track...

3) Go to your local bike shop and pick up 2 heavy duty brake cables with the biggest barrel shaped end that is available. Then also grab 2 Cable Knarps. The best I can describe them is they appear to be a small cylinders shaped like a hexagon, and are about a 1/2 inch long. They have a hole that...

2) Pull the splitter box apart, remove the metal cable holder that holds all of the cables. Keep all of the cable housings; there is one long, one short, then the one that you had to unscrew (It will have the cap off the splitter on one end and that works fine.) Now put the seat in the upright...

From what I understand the cables that release the seat tracks under 1st gen 4Runner seats are notorious for breaking. My cable broke on my driver side (DS) track on my passenger seat. I pulled out the seat, and figured out real quickly that it is an easy fix. Below I will explain how I fixed my...

A friend of mine has a R150F Transmission with transfer case and crossmember that he is trying to sell, he wants $500 for it but will most likely take less for it. I can't say what condition it is in, it feels good shifting on the ground, but it came with a W56 transmission he got for his 22RE...

I drive a 84 Xtra Cab 2WD that has a 22R and the automatic, I noticed it does want it's revs to be higher when around any type of hills. The truck only has 120,000 miles on it so I am confident it is working correctly. And when it hits O/D you can definetly feel it, it kicks in at no slower the...

I agree with Hyde802, you should just drive it for a while and see what's weak, or needs attention. Don't be surprised that it seems to be perfect now, but a month from now starts needing TLC, it's 23 years old, "old machines new problems". Also look around on the net and see if your 4Runner has...

I would try taking the hub off, and going for a drive on a dry day and see if the noise is still there. My 89 had auto hubs and the passenger side would half disengage and grind, and it sounded honestly like a steam locomotive getting up to speed, when I put it in 4WD it wouldn't make a noise...

An O2 sensor wouldn't keep it from running, I had a new exhaust put on and I didn't hook up the O2 sensor for weeks and the light was on, but it never acted wierd. When I wired it in my CEL went off, and I just had to retune the timing to get my power back. I worked on a 93 honda accord once...

Yeah I guess I am, I have always called it the Mass Airflow Sensor...
