What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today? - Vol 2

[WhiteOut00]

Diagnosing low idle and it acting like it wants to stall while stopped at intersection. I checked voltage and I'm stumped. 12.86v while not running, 14.06v while running, and 13.96 under load with A/C and Lights on.

2000 4runner SR5 3.4l Auto

Have you cleaned out your idle valve? Resting voltage, 10 or so mins after engine shut off or overnight, should be around 13.2-13.5v charging volts look good. Under load seems a bit weak. Have you had any starting issues?

New rear bumper , new hitch , various suspension bushings and links replaced.
New fuel pump too !

600K all original drivetrain, still going

Some work over the last few months
- LCA bushings
- LBJs
- Steering rack bushings
- Radiator, thermostat, hoses

I have FLF spindles on the way & will be doing those + front shocks/top hats when they arrive...why is it so difficult to upload photos to this site

Drove him around. Filled up with fuel, 12.9 mpg city driving. Needs a bath badly.

Rolled over to 250k miles! Same day as 4th of July! 250 and 250k! I legit sprayed the 4runner with champagne! Best 20 bucks spent!

I didn't do anything to my 3rd gen today because I don't have one. However, I keep researching and looking to buy one because I really want another project vehicle. So, I'm just stopping in to say hi.

I snapped an axle, busted a shock, hit the rear diff hard on a hidden rock...so it peed a little gear oil, and tore up the outer edge of a steel wheel.

Nice, so you are using it

Yesterday (not today sorry) I took it off-roading for the first time ever lol. I've had it over a year but was busy remodeling my house. Plus I intended it to be a daily, not a rock crawler. That said, exploring fire trails and logging trails in the Sierras is a great time.

Also in the past week: give it a good bath and wax, installed new OE style chrome grille and side lamps, and a bug deflector because I think it looks cool. Going for OEM+ aesthetics I guess.

[dp204]

im working on chasing a misfire on my 3rd.

I had P300 and P303...

Changed the plugs, and wires (Denso).

Coil packs are good. Still got a misfire but no codes (but Pending P303)

Scanned with a higher end gearwrench scanner from a buddy and yeah my cylinder 3 injector is on the pooch.

some new denso injectors coming from BC soon. so thats on the list.

anything else I should consider ?

Check you coolant reservoir for bubbles, or get a head gasket test kit.

Shakedown run on 3N16 in Holcomb Valley. In the last 6 months I've done

- Radiator, hoses, t-stat
- Steering rack bushings
- LCA bushings
- LBJs, UBJs, hubs/bearings/spindles from FLF
- Front shocks, top hats & bushings
- new tires

Truck ran great.

Nice 4runner [MENTION=374992]Posty[/MENTION] ran 3n16 a while ago when I ran the white mountain loop, the end was rough as all can be. If you never ran 1n09 is a nice chill trail, which has a creek about halfway through, nice when it's hot. Its about halfway up 330. You might run into me up in big bear, I always drive up there. Nice to see another local!

 

[TracyNorton]

replaced broken CV axle
greased suspension and driveline
replaced starter relay
fixed rear diff weep
added abs disable rocker switch...

and now I have to go up to Big Bear and sort out my daughter's 2nd Gen electrics

it just never ends
at least the weather is nicer up there
