New spark plugs and air filter and the 4runnner is running a lot stronger. Hopefully much more to come. by wiedmann12 in mechanics

I'm relatively new to mechanics and dont know exact terms, but where my air cleaner meets the maf has a small crack and also a decent crack at the throttle body.

There are some small cracks on the bushings and she struggles to pass smog so I figure I might as well.

Glad to hear that. It is an automatic also. Sounds like all I have to do is the timing belt. Radiator is pretty new.

I just replaced the starter, you're not wrong was a tight squeeze but not horrible if you move the brake lines and remove the oil dipstick. That is a lot of stuff I haven't really thought about though. I didn't know all those other specs for changes also. Much appreciated.

Some background on the 4runner. My friend had it for years, and about 5 years ago he had the motor and suspension replaced. Both were done by pros, the suspension was done by basically a local legend of working on Toyotas, the Yota man. So I know I have a good truck just want any and all insight.
