well my name is john im new to this site...

i came to this site cuz i was read on a comment on facebook that this was a good site to get some answers on my up 4runner

i hav a 1995 SR5 4runner v6

i am having a few issues wit it at this moment

my vacuum houses might be messed up...
and then i hav another issue smog test in cali..
sometimes i cant get it to go over a speed ..lik say on the freeway i get to 70mph and it wont go any higher...i gas it and it will still not go any higher ...goin up hills sucks cuz speed goes down ..its lik its cnt make it up hill


so someone that can help talk to me cuz i really want to turn this car into a beast ..and ther are just somethings i just dnt kno

 

lol...living in Cali is your problem

Too many tree huggers are farting, causing horrible fart to fuel mixture. Have Obama help you

 

What is your smog issue? What did you fail on? Vac. diagrams are on the internet. Print the one for your truck and start chasing. Tire size?

 

I do agree, california sucks thats why im moving out of here next year, way to many tree huggers here that don`t have a clue what there talking about or doing most of the time.

 

yeah i kno f cali...high emissions...i got new co2 sensors on it...and for the vacuum diagram..the best one i found didnt make sense nothin lookd the same..

i replaced the oil gasket but i had to unplug some hoses and i think i might hav plugd some wrong idk...and my tire size hahah i dnt even kno i think they are the stock ones

 

why do you need a full size suv to go more than 70mph?

 

but wat is the issue wit my car cuz i cant get it to go over a speed sometimes..lik it wont shift to the next gear??

 

the freeway...and on the road it will get stuck at 40 or 30 it just gets stuck

 

There are 70 mph speed limits.

 

 

Simple thing. Maybe try some seafoam and it might help?

 

seafoam???

 

search?

 

oo ok i see it...ill try that..

one question

could it hav anything to do wit

transmission fluid or filter

or fuel filter??

 

first off, welcome to yotatech...

now that thats done, might wanna list some of the specs of your sweet lookin runner...

what are the RPM's on the freeway?
have you tried to pull any stored trouble codes?
also, there is a sticky at the top of the forum with a link to the FSM's... that would be your best place to look for the toyota hose diagrams...
also, might want to do a basic tune-up if you havent already...

one thing to note, and im not trying to be mean, but typing out the full words... it takes 2 seconds more, and people will want to be more helpful if you do...

 

Sounds great ..im gonna be doing a full tune up changing some filters and stuff
thanks
and yeah ok thats fine

 

You said it gets stuck at speed and wont shift? Have you checked/changed tranny fluid, or maybe have her flushed? Do like you said and do a full tune up including plugs and wires as well before other avenues are researched. Is this a new car to you? Just bought? If so do you know maintenance history?

 

it was an impounded car...i know they people that had it smoked weed..i found some in it hahaha

but yea plugs are new but i am gonna start a tune up and new fluids

 

if you vacuum hoses are messed up that might be an issue...
if you look at the top of this forums there is a STICKY post with the factory service manual posted..it is the book you need to fix your truck
ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT!!!
also its good to do a basic tuneup when you get a new truck change all fluids..
how long have you had the runner?

 

about 2 months iv had it..
and the book thing your saying i was just looking at it..haha
