98 4-runner check engine light
Hi guys. Just joined the site. I have a question about my brother's 98 4-runner. It has the 3.4 v6 and 180 000 kms on it. He's had it for a year now with no issues until today. We drove it today with no problems at all. Left it parked for about 3 hours, then started her up to go to the video store and the check engine light came on for the first time since he bought it. It was also idling about 1500 rpms with his foot off the gas. I asked and he claims even when first started in the morning, it doesn't idle that high. We shut it off 2 or 3 times and restarted it with no difference. Parked at video store and when we restarted it and the check engine light was off and it was idling normal.
Should we get it checked for a stored code? We don't have a scanner. Or just not worry unless light comes on again? Other than the light and the higher idle it was running fine. Also fyi, it's a 5 speed manual and the only modification is a K&N cold air intake. (almost wondering if it has something to do with intake like mass air flow sensor or something, but i'm not too knowledgable mechanically).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
