#10 of 12 2007 4 runner by drcarla Feb 05, 2009 (1:02 pm)
I have a 2007 4 runner. After shutting the vehicle off and letting it sit for a few minutes, when I try and start it, it cranks over and over without starting. When I turn it off and start again, it works. I only have 11,000 miles on it and it is still under warantee. Any ideas? Replies to this message: tidester (Feb 05, 2009 4:11 pm)

Replying to: drcarla (Feb 05, 2009 1:02 pm) It could just be a battery problem possibly related to cold weather. Does the problem vary with ambient temperature? tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: bobgordon (Jul 02, 2006 3:19 pm) I had the mass flow sensor replaced and the check engine light came back on. My mechanic said that the sensor was actually dirty (he mentioned the K&N may have not been completely dry??), cleaned it and the light stayed off of 4 months. Came on again today, can I clean it myself? I know you responed w/ direction but for a 95 4runner, will the same work for mine? I'd rather not have to go back to the mechanic...Also, should I use a different aircleaner? I heard that one could also cut a large hole in the front of the air cleaner box and block off the elbow to get better airflow, is that true/worth it? Thank you in advance!
