#919 of 2501 Re: Won't start when hot [wolflover55] by wolflover55 May 02, 2005 (6:53 am)
Replying to: wolflover55 (May 01, 2005 4:34 pm) OK...the shop tested each fuel injector with a volt meter and showed me the printouts....ALL OK. There is no error code. The dang thing will NOT start after it has has been running for a while. It turns over great but will not fire. After it coosl off...easier and quicker in the winter....Vroom...starts right up!

I forget where the fuel pump relay is on this thing, but if it is under the hood, it is a good bet to be the source of the problem. Check it out, and if it is under the hood it is cheap to replace - give it a shot. Replies to this message: wolflover55 (May 09, 2005 6:51 am)

Replying to: dpalau (Apr 25, 2005 8:52 am) I have an 05 SR5, I thought mine had similar scratches in the temp/clock display, turns out my Dealer left a very hard to see plastic protective film on the cover after delivery. Before you go out and buy a new cover, double check in the corner that the protective film isn't still attached, most likely your scratches will just be on that.

this is the dilemma of everyone out there with a large SUV right now, not just 4Runner owners but Suburban and Tahoe owners, Expedition too. Not to mention Sequoia owners!   At 13.5 you are within 10% of the city rating on this thing, so it is in the range, it is just that the range is low. Did you get the V-8 because you tow?

Replying to: nippononly (May 02, 2005 2:25 pm) Are any of you guys afraid of the gas mileage the v8 gives you? With the price of gas especially in the northeast frequent trip to the the gas station is starting to make me crazy. I have a 03 v6 limited my gas mileage sucks and when i see the prices of gas rising like that i think all of you with v8's are rich or making the oil company rich.
#925 of 2501 my old by nippononly May 03, 2005 (6:32 am)
V-6 4Runner is down to about 17 mpg in everyday driving due to the oversize tires I put on it, and I tell you, I am hardly driving it now with the gas prices so high. I am lucky to have a little car for the everyday stuff that gets better than 30 mpg. Tahoe is about three hours each way on the highway for me, and just that little weekend trip can cost me close to $100 in gas now!
#926 of 2501 Re: Coolant leak. [iontrap] by snodiva May 03, 2005 (11:01 am)
Replying to: iontrap (Apr 30, 2005 10:53 am) I have a 2004 4runner ltd and I have had an ammonia smell that comes from the vent. It happens when I accelerate from a stop or quickly accelerate. I do not have the AC on but it happens then too. I've taken to the dealer which have said and fixed the blower motor per TSB AC003-03/ice build up on blower motor. Still the ammonia smell. Is this the same as the coolant leak or something else?
#927 of 2501 gas mileage by nedzel May 03, 2005 (3:42 pm)
I think you'll find that the mileage with the V6 is only 1 or 2 mpg greater than the V8. I'm getting about 17.5 mpg on my suburban/highway commute. I get noticeably better mileage if it's all highway.   Yes, I wish I got better mileage. But an extra $1,000 per year won't kill me and my old GTI wouldn't get very far up the beach at Cape Pogue

I just got the V8 cus its more powerful...feeels quicker too..plus the dealer had only 2 a black sr5 v6 or a white v8 sport. The payment was only 20$ more so i got the v8. i had no idea the every day gas mileage would suck sooooo bad.! if i got my battery unplugged and re plugged...would it make a diff? i heard about the adaptive throttle?
