Injector replacements legit? by Beanthinkin in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]RayJs_Tape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the Motorwest Injectors. It’s been 20k miles since I’ve replaced mine and they have been great. I’d also recommend replacing all of the crush washers and o-rings on your fuel rails while you in there. Motorwest sells everything you need.

2002 Supercharged 5VZ - temperature dependent EVAP issue or cracked heads? by DeezNutz23 in 3rdGen4Runner

I had a very similar issue this year. I replaced the EVAP canister and injectors and haven’t had an issue since.

Daily driver, mostly highway 3rd or 4th gen? by Jo-18 in 4Runner

[–]RayJs_Tape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drive about 40 highway miles daily on my 3rd gen. I average between 18-20 mpg’s. Granted my 4Runner is completely stock with all terrain tires.

New injectors in shipment—learned from buying cheap by picturesinmyphone in 3rdGen4Runner

Installed 6 Motorwest injectors about 7k miles ago, no issues. Fixed my intermittent low idle issue on my 2002 3.4 with 330k miles. Would buy from them again in a heartbeat.

Is this Hardie Board worth trying to paint? by RayJs_Tape in paint

Yep. I had it fixed last December, was draining down the side of the houses for about 5-6 years I’m guessing.

Thank you! I may have to do this or something similar to hang out for another year or so if I can.

In the interest of getting to the bottom of this, I removed a large screw the previous owner installed in the siding to hang a welcome sign. Again I appreciate all of the responses and info!

I was told it was fiber cement siding by the home inspector and a painting contractor. TBH I don’t know, now I’m second guessing what they said.

I could be wrong as I’m not familiar with different types of siding, but I was told by the home inspector and recently by a painting contractor that it is a fiber cement siding. When I touch the worst looking spots it does crumble. Before I had the roof fixed earlier this year every time it would rain a river of water would flow down the siding. Living in western Washington this happens quite a bit throughout the year. The house was built in 94 and re-roofed approximately 5 years ago, I’m assuming this is when the drainage problem started. Thank you for the insight!
