Posting this up in regards to my parents 2000 4runner (2wd, 3.4)
Got a call from my parents tonight about an issue with their 4runner (the check engine light came on Saturday). They were coming up a hill tonight when the engine revs and loses power (kind of felt like it slip out of gear) for a moment and then regains power.
When it regains power the reverse indicator light on the dash goes on despite the car being in the drive (the drive light is lite up). Even with the car in park the reverse light still remains on.
Is there a fuse/switch, sensor that would cause the reverse light to go despite the car being in a different gear? How would lossing power then regaining power factor into it?
Hopefully, this makes sense and I will be searching the various threads for a possible answer as well but any direction you all could give would be great :thumbup: .
