2000 4R with 135k miles, feels like a fuel injector is acting up and I'm getting a misfire on cylinder 5. It's my daily driver as I drive about 70 miles each day for work, doesn't have the get up it used to.
I'm planning on doing some work in a few weekends on it - replace the valve cover gasket, spark plug wires, spark plug tube gaskets, plugs, various gaskets, pcv valve, radiator, and a few other things.
There is a guy up in Denver that cleans/reconditions fuel injectors for a very reasonable price. He recommended I send him some extra fuel injectors in the event a few of them are irreparable.
So I took a trip this morning to the local pick-n-pull and grabbed 8 extra fuel injectors just to be safe . These pick-n-pull places are awesome!
It just so happens the 4Runner is the only vehicle I have that I can get parts like this, for that I'm thankful.
Someone had already taken the intake manifold and throttle body off making the job super easy to grab the fuel injectors, just 3 bolts to get the fuel rail off and pull the injectors.
OEM injectors are $125@ w/ a really Toyota parts discount. I have $6.99@ in these plus another $12@ to have them reconditioned/tested. Hopefully I can sell a few of the remaining and break even on these.
