Gentlemen,
We were in a time of great sorrow, weather you realized it or not.
For the last 6 months, I have been battling a CEL, more specificaly a P0125 code. After throwing everything I could at the code, new O2 sensors, new thermostat, new ECT sensors front and rear, Radiator flush; I feared the worst, thinking my ECU has finally given out after all the abuse I've put it through.
Then, I came across a member, [MENTION=78895]DeathCougar[/MENTION], who blew some much needed air into the smothering flame of my Riley. He happened to have just what I was looking for: a 1999 4Runner FEDERAL harness. With much thought, I debated weather to get the harness, or to give up and sell my love. I gave her one last shot.
Purchasing the harness from DeathCougar, I also purchased two new O2 sensors from Amazon. Two weeks ago I swapped out the harness, and when my O2 sensors arrived, I realized Amazon had sent the wrong one. Obviously, I got this rectified.
Friday I began the fabrication of the exhaust. Figured "Why not? If this works, I'll have it all done at the same time."
Got everything welded up, put it together, plugged the O2 sensors in, and went for a test drive.
60 miles, later, NO CEL!!!!!!
So, again I say "The Time Has Come."
The time has come for more Mods. Work on Riley will begin with a renewed vigor. There will nary be a day when something doesn't get done to her.
To [MENTION=78895]DeathCougar[/MENTION], and [MENTION=59542]Singtoe[/MENTION], and [MENTION=92513]Docs2ndbest[/MENTION]:
Thank you both. DeathCougar, for your timely posting of the 4Runner you were parting out in the classifieds, and the prompt delivery of the wiring harness. Couldn't have gotten this fixed with out you.
Singtoe, thank you for helping me trouble shoot this Charlie Foxtrot, and giving encouraging words; as well as sending those wiring diagrams and talking me through them.
To my 2nd Best: Thank you for the continued support and dealing with the situations as they arose. Thank you for the continued use of your G6, and the continued patience of figuring this out. You're amazing.
