I hate my car.
Yesterday I drove it to work since its hot as balls here and the 4runner doesnt have A/C.
So 2 blocks away from the house it starts running like dog ass. I get to work and pop the hood and see coil #1 is discolored and I figure its burnt up. Buy a new one for $55, sweat my ass off in the garage last night installing it. Take it out and still running like shit. started playing around with things and #2 injector plug was off. DAMNIT! So all is well.
I come to work today, runs fine and AC is COLD. Just went to lunch, and damn AC is HOT. Compressor is on. I recharged it last summer.
Im pissed.
(where is our AC pressure switch?)
Guess Ill evacuate and recharge tonight and hope for the best.Last edited by Willfully Armed; 06-18-2010 at 11:18 AM.

Well, unless you have lockers/posi installed, even 4-wheel drive is really only 2 wheel drive.... technically.

Ahh man, the car is 9 years old. Don't be too mad, if A/C is all you have to complain about your doing great!

LOL its only 9... 2010 is not over yet. Technically I guess if you want to go by the exact build date you could argue something in between 9 and 11.
I've had good luck with putting the dye from AutoZone in there to find the leak. Lucky for me my leak was just a hose on the 98 and the low pressure valve on the 96.
