Replying to: 65stang (Apr 04, 2005 10:56 am) My 2003 4-Runner has this problem also, sounds like a diesel when cold, sounds fine when warm. Have you made any progress? My dealer changed the serpentine belt (of all stupid things) with no change in the noise.   Thanks Tom

Replying to: tswizzle (Feb 28, 2005 1:19 pm) I am having the exact same problems and now the buttons are not functioning at all. Did you find a solution to this problem? We are thinking of taking the dash apart and starting on wires to see if there's a short. Let me know what you found out. I thought I was crazy for awhile when they just quit functioning properly - mine gets stuck in circulate mode, etc. Please respond.

#893 of 2496 2000 Acceleration Problem by sheppy Apr 12, 2005 (5:13 am)
A few months ago, my check engine light came on. I brought it to a local mechanic (friend of the family) who specializes in foreign cars. He hooked it up to the computer and found that the catalytic convertor was below threshold. My 4Runner has California Emissions Control, so I have 2 convertors. Only the front was bad.   My mechanic, as well as other mechanic I know, said that I could still drive the car, but as soon as I noticed performance issues or a drop in gas mileage, I need to have the cat replaced.   I noticed about 10 days ago that I started having hesitation issues at traffic lights and stop signs. I did not have any problems after getting started. I brought the car in last week to have the cat replaced ($800 for the part alone, the rear cat is $1,100). Anyway, after having the cat replaced, the hesitation became worse. The mechanic will not give me the car back until he finds out what is wrong because he said I will damage the new cat. He has checked the vacuum lines and cleaned the sensors. The check engine light does not come on anymore and the computer indicates that there is no problem.   I remember working on my 1994 Cherokee where I needed to reset the computer by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, and even still, had performance issues for a couple hundred miles until the computer re-learned everything. Then everything was fine.   Any ideas before I have it towed to a dealer.   Thanks   Shep Replies to this message: steve_ (Apr 12, 2005 6:30 am)

Replying to: sheppy (Apr 12, 2005 5:13 am) You may check to see if the emissions warranty covers the cat; occasionally you'll read around the forums that someone got one replaced at no cost. But you'd have to get the dealer involved and you may be over the miles (8/80 iirc).   Steve, Host
#895 of 2496 4runner Lube Job by jharring1 Apr 12, 2005 (8:38 am)
I own a 1996 Toyota 4runner and would like to start doing my own lube jobs at home. Could someone please tell me how many grease serks there are and where they are located. Also, what kind of grease and grease gun to use.   Thank you, Jim Replies to this message: wolflover55 (May 01, 2005 4:34 pm) wolflover55 (May 02, 2005 6:53 am) mechengr (May 24, 2005 5:46 pm) mechengr (May 24, 2005 5:09 pm)
#896 of 2496 rear suspension problem/question by jazrunner Apr 15, 2005 (7:37 pm)
hello. i am looking to "lift" the tail of my 4runner (99) just about 1/2". the smallest lift kit available is 1" and i tried that, it's too much. this is a stock suv, and i am not looking for a radical modification, just to get that sagging look from the car...especially if there is a little wieght back there (as little as 50#'s) it looks like i am carrying a ton.    hyperco spring co. might have the solution for me but needs the spring specs (i.e. rate, freelink, inside and/or outside diameter). is there anyone who could tell me the specs on these springs? -- the OEM,stock,factory springs.    this is just for the rear, and any help would be greatly appreciated.    if i got lucky enough to have someone who got tired of this with your 4runner and solved the problem a different way, let me know, i am open to all options.    this is my wife's car, she couldn't care less, but i am a car nut and it's been driving me crazy for years - i drive it on the 'family trips' . now i am changing the rear shocks (for the ride quality) and figure do the ride height change while i am under there ... that's if i find some solution that doesn't make my truck look jacked-up like the torino in Starsky & Hutch.
#897 of 2496 2005 4Runner Sport V8 4WD Pinion Seal by lazzarich Apr 16, 2005 (5:15 pm)
I have a 2005 V8 4WD with 4,000 miles on it. It has developed a leak at the Pinion Seal (per Toyota Dealer). According to them this is not under pressure and I can keep driving it till they obtain the part. Question: Is this going to create a long term problem? and 2.) What would cause this to go. I have not driven the vehicle as I was concerned.
