Looking for a fresh idea gents.
My Step fathers 2002 Toyota 4Runner Auto 3.4l V6 with 316k miles on it has had a rough idle for some time and a code for knock sensors.
Today I went ahead and did the knock sensors, the wire for the sensors, new gaskets for the upper and lower intake, new valve cover gaskets (they were leaking, and for 316k it looks good underneath), and a new throttle body (suspected to be bad due to pink milk shake long ago, could never get cold start idle right).
Timing belt done 50k ago and looks good still, Also did a seafoam treatment through the intake tonight. Took it out for a test drive and it seems to have improved.
Parked it in the drive way and thought "Swing! It's Good" and then a second after saying that the idle starts to stumble a bit again...
No pending codes, runs great while going down the road. No smoke of any kind, No fluids mixing anywhere, sprayed down to check for vacuum leak, all good. I'm stumped.
I know I will here plenty say its just time to let it go, and honestly I do agree even though this is the truck that started this addiction lol. I am just curious. I want to say I got it right before it finds permanent resident in a Junkyard.
