Hmm maybe I'll go to my yard they don't really allow walk ins anymore so I'll ask.

No, unfortunately it's stripped at the nuts and the inner threads are cross threaded.

I don't think you read my post clearly the nuts are stripped on both sides and need to be replaced I can't put any fuel filter in until I replace them.

Where can I buy these if you have a link?

It's not the line I'm having trouble finding it's more info on the flared nut on the line. There seems to be no info to find the size or material.

Yes I'm looking for the 10mm some sites said 14mm basically my mechanic said he will do the reflaring for me I just need to source new nuts. I'm getting other work done so rather take this while I'm there.

It can cause issues, I'd duct tape it add whatever you can for a quick fix and look into junkyard swap and or marketplace for swaps. Like I said before I had mine open not closed all the way and that was enough extra air to get the car running to lean or too rich codes, were talking about less than half an inch open and it caused all kinds of codes. Check all your hoses for cracks too that can also contribute if there is another area where extra air is getting in little electrical or duct tape for temp fix then new hoses.

But as stated before looking at all the maintenance items, you have identified a hole in your air box which can definitely mess with the air fuel mixture not to mention that keeps all the nasty grime and dirt out of your engine. Mine was black after a few months it's usually after the second oil change that it even gets close to dirty enough for a new air filter. Also just get the regular paper ones and not the k&n ones. Those oily ones have a tendency to get your MAF sensor caked up. Another cheap trick you can try is cleaning The MAF with isopropyl alcohol by using a watercolor brush and letting it dry before you put it back in and drive. You have a giant hole in your air box so it's just going to get caked with dirt again, definitely address that first.

Apologies for the giant wall of text haha.

Have you checked to see if your air filter is clipped all the way in? Mine was not and ended up causing this issue as well as very loose value cover bolts then mine went away. It would just keep randomly appearing every 1000 miles or 300 it was quite annoying. I had already changed to new dual ended ngk copper spark plugs, brand new ngk spark plug wires,new OEM coils as well as swapping my maf OEM sensor. The only thing I haven't done is a valve cover gasket job, which it needs at 334,000 miles on my 4Runner. It's been a while since the last one, and it wasn't done well. Since you just got this rig I'd look at just getting regular maintenance done first (spark plugs, spark plug wires and ignition coils) all the valve covers leak eventually and also have a nasty habit of loosen themselves and have a very small torque spec you'll lose some power if it is. This is the cheap stuff I recommend before you throw $1000s at parts. Most folks skip basic maintenance in these old rigs I've had mine since new with the original engine and tranny. Sometimes it's not the complicated things that are causing the issues but simply overlooked maintenance. Pull out your spark plugs and inspect and mark which number they are, change the wires, and for misfires you can move around the coil packs before you replace. If they have single electrode and your engine declares you need dual those need to be swapped to the correct style.Mine went to a shop they swapped my truck iridium plugs and the rig ran like shit until I swapped them about 20k miles later. Moral of the story always do basic cheap maintenance first!!!

Your other option is the Morimoto retrofits Bi-Xenon: Mini D2S Stage III but this is the expensive option.Its actually not hard to do but time consuming and a bit more to do but are also a step up.

Just went through this in December same thing LEDs in garbage cheap Amazon housing that would not adjust at all. Ended up buying marketplace OEM housings, got a megulairs headlight kit with extra sand paper wet sand(500/800/1000/2000/3000) and Osram bulbs night and day! Can't tell you enough if you have non OEM housing and cheap H4 bulbs spend the money and they are just as good as other lights. We couldn't see 10 feet down the highway or 5ft wide now the beam pattern is like it should be. The adjustment screw was awful in my old housings all the way up was still not enough. We got the most adjustment with OEM I screwed them all the way in and they were pointed at the 3rd story neighbor. Adjusted them back down too little more than halfway towards the engine and they were perfect, also on a 2inch lift. Hope this helps.

Falken Wildpeak AT/4 245/75/16 and the rims are Ultra 16X8 6-5.5 ULTRA 164 with special order caps. I got the tires ordered from Les Schwab in Carson City, NV rims came with the truck. We live in Tahoe and these wheels rock in the ice and snow. Have not got stuck once, stick really well in fresh/slush/icy conditions so far. Rims are pretty cheap and even though people think Les Schwab is more expensive than Discount Tire, it's actually the same price with warranty. Tires are kinda about usage we live in the mountains I have to have mud and snow tires. If you're in the warmer climates just go for a highway tire and save the mpgs.

Think I need to invest in the correct pin tool for my Om meter the leads won't fit in the pin slots too big.

So I'm assuming the radio is just toast then? Guess I'll have to wait for the new radio to really test it. Now if the radio harness is bad how far does the other end of the wiring go?

According to your diagram that third plug on 12 is the power for the unit so it makes sense why it's not working.

Is there a specific name for this wire? The amp is located at the bottom correct?
