First -- I suggest that you read your manual. It describes what that button does (locks the center differential and turns off spin control). Second -- that sounds like the traction control, spin control, or ABS engaging. Third -- did you hit the muffler or exhaust pipe on the ground while backing down?

Replying to: nedzel (Apr 18, 2005 4:26 pm) I am sure this has been asked and answered hundreds of times, but what is an open differential and what is a closed differential (limited slip/positrac). I understand the basic operation of the differential/CV joint allowing different rates of speed in turns. It is always described as a distribution of power when one or other wheel slips. In a non limited slip diff - what happens when one wheel is on soft sand? In a limited slip diff - what happens when one wheel is on sand? In a 4Runner with an X switch - what happens when one wheel is on sand? |

I posted a message, what for me, seem's like entirely toooooooo looooooonnnnnngggg ago about needing help fixing my truck. So I get a message from the host saying,"patience". "ok". Maybe I didn't write my message clearly or... I don't know. I hope you all have better luck here on this message board than I. Thank you for putting this message board together. Have a great life with your toyota everyone! I don't intend to return

Hello all My runner starts fine 9 out of 10 times...occasionally when I start it, it sputters out and stalls...like the idol speed is too low. Once it happens, it takes up to 10 tries to get it to finally stay running. I just bought a new battery and had the alternator checked, that is not the problem. A mechanic said that ofter times with 4runners the idol motor parts need to be changed costing $400 plus. Anyone ever heard of this? Advice greatly appreciated. |

I have a 2004 SR5. I don't suppose there is any way to 'buff' out a scratch in the clear plastic covering of the mileage/clock display is there? This weekend I noticed a small scratch in it, and thinking that it was some sort of foreign material, tried to scratch it off. Unfortunately I did this while driving over a bumpy country road and long story short: ended up putting even more scratches in it. Assuming there is no way to get rid of these scratches, I wouldn't think replacing the plastic covering from the dealer would be a big deal, would it? On a related note, I put a few scratches in the inside passenger door plastic, above the speaker grill. Any way to get those out either? I'm afraid not and have just told my wife that it makes the 4Runner look 'tough'. But any answers would be appreciated. |

My 1994 SR5 is leaking coolant rather steadily. I just replaced the seal on the water pump and thermostat housing as well as changed the timing belt. Once it was all back together and started up, the drip began once again. Either the seal on the water pump was bad or that was never the origin of the drip. Any suggestions as to what the problem is or any other advice would be great. Thanks, Jay
