my truck just wont start itll turn but wont light off ive got spark but it just wont go any ideas

 

well... i just snaped the e brake cable parkin at home.

 

Hmmm, what broken on my 4runner?!?! I have 2 warn (bad) CV axles, I have a front main seal leak, Um 2 holes from rust on the back wheel well, broken antenna. Sometimes (at higher speeds) it will stall and start right back up on its own, Do you guys think it would be a bad EGR? Just replaced my Parking Brake Cable and Clutch that was almost $900. And I think that may be it for my problems lol

 

hmmmmmm well the motors lets just say "special" and is half tore appart and radio dont work . thats about all

 

got a bad exhaust leak and a tranny leak. sucks

 

'87 4runner
gas gauge, oil gauge dont work
rear window responds to nothing
when i turn on the brights... it turns the lights off instead (Brights work when i flash though!)
charging system has a problem i cant find

'90 4runner
driver window is stripped and hardly works,
passenger window hardly works
rear driver seat has the dropdown knob missing
rear springs are flat
everytime i hit a bump i hear a terrible like.. screeching, rattling, knocking.... something sound comming from the rear end.. has something to do with the frame i think, super annoying.


Both of them have a weird tick when im driving, the 90 has one tick and the 87 sounds like a miniture machine gun when i give it gas.

fuee... =)

 

gah. exhaust leak. The intake on the muffler separated from the muffler body.

A phone call to LCE and five-small later, I'll be wrenching on the 4runner this Thursday.

Well, let's see.....

*I went from 128k to 268k without a SINGLE motor repair. BUT...lol....

*Now, in the last year, I've lost THE ORIGINAL starter, water pump, alternator, 02 sensor, AC clutch, Muffler, Cruise Control button broke, clutch slave cylinder, leaks a bit(From the seals, I believe), 4runner sag in rear getting bad(feels like a hard tail hog) and a few other things.

It had been running like crap once it warmed up, for weeks, .....replaced the O2 sensor, ....now it runs like crap when cold, but it runs fine when warmed up. WTH?

I've never tested a single sensor, injector, etc.....guess it's time to start doing the P.O.E., eh?

 

-a perfect bootheel rust hole by the gas pedal ( I actually like that tho')
-reverse lights stick on and only seem to do it when a cop is behind me at night....I really should investigate why and I will...someday.
-it's getting a tiny bit of air in the clutch slave cylinder...I just pump her up before starting it and it's fine tho'
-belt is off the A/C and summer is coming.
-etc etc etc

 

hmmm exhaust is broken off a foot before the muffler the windshields cracked my adjustment pully screams like a banshee its covered in dents and im pretty sure my frames a bit tweaked in more than a spot or two but not bad. my o2 sensor harness is torn. so what? thats means its only in good condition not excellent on kbb right?...shucks. not that i will EVER sell my truck. hopefully when im 90 and still driving it when its been extremely built for many years ill crash it and my death will result with my trucks as well? now that would be the ultimate.

 

As of today, NOTHING!!!! Even the little a/c button lights up! I don't know what to do now hahaha

 

Let me ride around the block with you once....I have such bad luck that I'll just about bet you we'd have to walk back.

 

I just picked mine up from the dealer...had the Selective Service Campaign for the Steering Relay Rod Replacement completed......also had the right idler arm and tie rod ends done.....drives so much better now!

 

I pulled the rear drive shaft off my truck last week and noticed as I put it in the shop when I move the weight would change from one end to the other. Damn thing is half full of water. Got another driveshaft out of the parts truck and I have no vibration problems anymore. And to think I took it to the shop 3 times to have the wheels checked and to see if I bent something.

 

My clutch turned into what looks like the aftermath of a grenade, dent from rock in passenger side door, but thats pretty much it

 

Gas gauge is intermittent due to a dented to hell tank.
My sliders are kind of screwed.
