I am going to try to help a friend fix his 98 4Runner. The problem
is that it hessitates quite awhile before it will move shifting from
park. I am hoping that we just need to service the transmission (filter
and fluid change). I have heard of some problems with 4Runner
automatics. If you have any further suggestions please write. It is
greatly appreciated. Keith

Howdy. The hydraulic pistons that hold the back door up on my '96
4Runner have failed about 3 times and have been replaced each time with
stock Toyota pistons (that keep failing). Anyone know where to get
better pistons and also if they were ever subject to a recall??
Otherwise, love my Runner! Thanks, Jim.

I havc a 96 limited. I was told when I bought it as a certified pre
owned that the head gasket had been replaced. Well, you guessed it, the
head gasket has blown again. I know very little about the mechanics of
a vehicle but I have heard that this problem is not unusual. I would
appreciate any input or source material I could use in the battle with
the dealer.

the bolts and made a real mess of things, I tried tapping the bolt hole
and refitting a new bolt into the manafold, still have leaking
problems. I am now looking at replacing the complete engine since I
just spent $3,000 on a new body for the truck. I love my truck and
would dearly love to keep it. My mechanic says it will cost $1,200 for
an engine alone, never mind the labour. Does anyone know where I can

Question: 98 4Runner SR5 V6 4WD have problems starting. It is not
the starter. It acts like the battery but then she will start after a
few tries. 103,000 miles. Anyone have a suggestion to stop this. Also
the engine light seems to come off and on after hitting 100,000 miles.
Is this a dummy light telling me to get that tune up or is there
something I am not seeing. Any help would be great. I intend to drive
the truck until it rusts out around me and there is not a spot of rust
on her.

doesn't have an owner's manual, and I have a simple owner's manual-type
question. It appears that to get the rear seats to fold down flat you
have to lift the seat cushions. I can see the cushion hinges, but the
cushions appear to be latched down and I can't find the latches. Could
somebody please tell me how the cushions fold up so the seat backs can
fold down?

1991 6 cyl 4wd automatic with 188K. Have put a lot of money into
repairs. My problem is that the temperature gauge has a mind of its
own. When engine starts from cold the engine will heat up (car heater
warms in 5 mins) but temperature gauge won't rise or rises very slowly.
This is a problem as the overdrive will not kick in util the engine is
at operational temperature. Once you get it to O.T. and start driving
on the highway (especailly at night or cool weather) the gauge begins
to drop and transmission drops out of overdrive. If the weather is cool
enough the gauge will drop to " 0." However, if you stop and
idle the engine, the temp comes right back up. But if you start driving
again the same thing happens again. I had a valve job about 5K ago and
they replaced numerous parts (the list is too long)including the water
pump, thermostat. The radiator was also acid washed. Since then I have
replaced the thermostat a second time and the temperature gauge sensor.
The Toyota dealer master mechanic is scratching his head. The "Two
Guys" (auto website) didn't have an answer either. Other than that
she runs great (it should after about $5,000 over the last two years)!
Don't get me wrong as I really love her and it took me a long time to
get her. Anybody had /or heard about this type of problem. Does anybody
know the Toyota guru of gurus? Any help would be apreciated. Thanks!
James Walker.

Hello. I am changing my timing belt on my 1994 4-Runner (3.0 3VZ
engine) and noticed that the no.1 idler pulley does not have a spring
to keep tension on the timing belt. In fact, the idler just flops back
and forth without any tension. Is this normal for a 94'? My 91' does
have a spring to produce tension. Thanks

Hi! Great page. I have a 91' 4WD 4 runner (automatic trans) with
187K. Recently, I have been having a problem with the temp
gauge/overdrive. While driving (especially at night)the temp gauge will
drop as if it is cooling off. Then it will drop out of overdrive. I can
stop and idle a while and the temp will come up. But as soon as start
driving,it will drop out of overdrive. I have replaced the thermostat
twice. I have also replaced the temperature sensor. Has anyone else had
a similar problem? Thanks. James

For your info I found the short on my 90 4runner. The nuts corroded

exhaust melted the wires and shorted the circuit. turns out to be an

My 4-Runner blew a head gasket at 56K miles and now has another
blown head gasket at 102K miles. Be advised that I am finding out you
may have to change your head gaskets more than you change your tires if
the block or heads were not milled properly during the first change. I
am currently looking at a $2000-$4500 bill to get my Runner up and
running again

Hi. Interesting page. Saw your comments on driving in snow and here
in Iceland we know its right, the magic is to lower the air pressure
and you go anywere in snow. Most common here is 38" tire (Monster
Mudder, GrowndHawk or Dick Cepek) and in snow we lower the air pressure
even down to 2-3 PSI. It dosen't harm your tire when driving in snow.

Hey guys, I have a 1985 four runner it has removable hard top ,
stereo, radar detector, and alarm system, exellent tires, and it runs
awsome. Here's the problem when driven it makes a clunk noise in the
rear end passanger side, I am afraid I cant afford repair so I have to
let her go. This is the only mechanical problem it has so its my loss
and your gain. I am asking 2500.00 for her and i think thats fair
considering her shape, I will look at trades or if you know what
possibly could be wrong with her please lemme know. Thanks guys

otherwise in excellent condition and it will make for a good project. I
am looking for any helpful information on changing the head gaskets)
and timing belt. I have the Haynes manual and although it's fairly
in-depth, after looking into it, it seems like this is going to be
extremely difficult. I haven't started tearing into it just yet as I am
still trying to gather info. Please e-mail me if you have any
experience with this and what all it will entail as far as time,
special tools needed, and where I can get better quality replacement
parts and upgrades while I have the engine torn apart. Thanks

some of your questions and i cant seem to email some of you. anyways my
back window doesnt work in it so i took a look and the relay is in the
middle section in the back and goes to the fuses up front by the driver
door panel. and yes i hear a click and found out that click was caused
from the windshield wiper in the back. more than likely the problem is
the motor it runs on or it has a short in the wire. now for people who
wants soft tops. i have done research and found out the makers who made
them went out of business and dont make it anymore. anyways a while ago
i came across soft tops in a magazine for them and i their email is
www.performanceproducts.com. have them send ya a copy the soft top is
right on the cover page. good luck all ya 4runner fools out there!!! go

I have a 93 Silver SR5 4x4 4Runner in PRISTINE condition. Original

(but nothing "extreme"). HONESTLY- 16,500 miles (not a typo)!
Garaged/Mobile 1. Will part with it for $16.5K. 937-429-9028 or e-mail.
You won't find a nicer "new" one anywhere! Tom

I just bought a 86-runner and it is in awesome shape for only 4800.
I am now looking into buying accessories and upgrades. Like tires,
bars, and soft-tops. If any of you have some great ideas, please feel
free to share it with me! I like off-roading but with not be getting
into anything huge so lift kits and straight axles are pint less for
me. I've down a fair bit of work to it already but just brakes and
tranny work. Runs great. This is an awesome site, I've already read
almost all the cheap/expensive tricks to play around with. I am in the
middle of designing a soft top canopy (like Can-Back) as well as a
tonneau cover for when caught off gaurd by the rain, but still gives
you total openness. Hope to hear from you...please type "subject
of email with something related to 4runners as I may delete it
otherwise.

Hi, my neighbour has bought a long time ago a 4runner, but the car
is original an canadien 4runner. The 4runner has a problem, when you
hit the brakes the engine stops. The 4runner has been to several
dealers but they couldn't find the problem. Now they order a new
computer special imported from canada. Now my question is: Did anybody
had the same problem with his/hers 4runner? If you did I really like
the possible sollution to this problem please by e-mail. p.s. the
canadien 4runners are not similar to the europian 4runners, so the
dealers don't know what the problem is.

Was just browsing and found your website. It's a great site! We are
a toyota family. We currently own a 1988 Camry Le and a 1987 4-Runner
SR5. We've had the car for 10 years and the 4-Runner for 9. It has
154,000 km and is a 4 cyl. 5-speed. It's been an exellent truck; but
it's now for sale because we just went out and bought a 95 4-Runner.
The 87 has warren hubs and I was getting tired of manually locking the
hubs in the winter. Also have 2 kids and tired of only 2 doors on the
87. So glad to get shift on the fly and 4 doors with the 95. They are
excellent vehicles and will probably buy another one.

Excellent webpage! Sorry for posting an ad but this seems like a
good place to see if anyone would be interested in my messed up 4x4. I
have a 1997 4Runner that's in the shop right now. Badly damaged front
axle(?), suspension, rack n pinion and possibly more. Other than that,
the engine and all other areas beyond the front hood is still in good
shape if not excellent. Insurance wants to have it repaired, I don't.
Figure I'll take the insurance money and sell this to someone as is.
dirt cheap! The shop is in San Carlos, CA. Check the photos for glimpse
of the damage. Sorry, it's the best I could do in such a cramped space.

pedal midway I'm fine but once I apply more pressure to the pedal, my

can't move except for the "bunny hopping" motion. Anyone have
any ideas what it could be?

started to loose power after driving for a couple of hours. This would
only happen during the summer or when it was warm outside. Now its
happening again and its getting worse. The engine will be doing fine
and then it just starts to die. I have to pull over, turn the engine
off and wait a couple of minutes and then its fine. Anywhere from
fifteen minutes to an hour later it does the same thing again. Anyone
have any ideas. Thanks

take advantage of a girl (if they even exist) Please let me know. Thanks

Just bought a 87 4Runner with 136,000 miles from a woman that bought
it new in Sept 87. Everything works & nothing is broken, hell, the
dash isn’t even cracked! It’s not an SR5, so it doesn’t
have any gauges. I may add an oil pressure gauge, temp gauge, and tach
at some point. The rear springs are sagging. Is there any good
fix’s for this? Also, I would like to find out where I can get
seatbelts for the rear seat. Thanks.

Got a 95 3.0L V6 4-runner. Great vehicle! Wish it had more power.
Any ideas? Also some previous posts regarding engine issues for the
year. What's that about?

I need a solid front axle for my 1986 toyota 4 runner. I am wanting
to drop all of the front IFS. And put in the solid axle to make it
easier to lift and take offroading. It might be easier if you send me
the info over fax at: 719-495-1081 or you can call me at: 719-495-1067

The power antenna mast on my '89 4Runner broke....the motor still
works fine...can the mast be replaced without replacing the whole unit?
Any info would be appreciated! Thanks

I have an automatic 86 4runner. I am having exceleration trouble off
and on. Usually when it is cold. Not sure if I can adjust anything to
help with this issue. Also out of the blue the rear window stopped
working. Any thoughts on that issue would be lovely. thanks all.

Finally a good 4Runner site! I own a 1990 4R V6 and have recently
performed a (proper working!) coil-over solid axle swap with gears and
lockers. If anyone wants to attempt this I've got lots of info incl.
pics and Autocad drawings.
