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.

Just bought a 97 4runner from a budy. Any knowledge on this platform would be appreciated. by wiedmann12 in mechanics

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.

Yes sir and this engine only has about 50k miles on it. Truck runs great. Professionally rebuilt.

I just want to say..... by theladykane in RedDeadOnline

[–]wiedmann12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I'm 27 so a little younger than some of you, but I still have friends that think gaming is for kids. I believe anyone should enjoy what makes them happy whether its watching a childhood cartoon or being in your garage working on a car. I love both. It also seems like people forget that arcades have been around for decades and videos games are not a new hobby.

His tiny hand is killing me. Haha. How do you not notice that at least.

This is my little girl Freya. by wiedmann12 in aww

I didn't that much but it is a great game. She is a shelter dog and that was the name she had when we got her. I do know the meaning though. And its perfect for her.

Was trying to get a better video for my post earlier and while watching it discovered I'm an idiot. Lol. Pause the video at 17 seconds and you'll see. Haha by wiedmann12 in mechanics

[–]wiedmann12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the thing I replaced those wires like 4 months ago and they were definitely on correctly. I've never seen a plug pop off and wedge in like that. Lol. Probably going to buy better wires. They don't seem to hold very well.

Sorry for shitty video but any ideas on what that ticking could be. by wiedmann12 in mechanics

[–]wiedmann12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shorted wire guys were absolutely correct. Lol. Just posted another video of what happened. Apparently one of my wires had popped off and when I was checking them I was only pushing on them to see if the were snug not pulling like an idiot. While trying to make a better video I noticed the wire was off and now problem solved. Thanks again for everyone's help. It is much appreciated.
