What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

If you put the light from your 99 next to the 02 you should see the difference. The Jumper wire on the drivers side is going to go side by side I believe and the passenger side Jumper goes kitty corner.

I took an extra plug from some spare stock lights I picked up at a thrift store to

 

And what issues were you having before you did this?

 

I think thats normal, I coukd be wrong but I read somewhere 800-900 is normal, mines at 650-700. You feel mpg gotten worse?

 

Grow up? Looks hardly past the brake in period

 

I’m wondering if you may have read that wrong? I idle around 800-900 in gear, 1150ish in park.

 

It was doing all sorts of things crazy stuff. The blinker was turning off my cruise control. My brakes would turn on the drivers blinker every so slightly. It was even effecting the license plate lights a little bit. I think I also had issues with the reverse lights, it did a lot of stuff

 

All of this matches up, thanks

 

oh shit that is high, did you see if the butterfly in the TB is ok

 

100k?! Quick, sell it before something breaks!

 

is the set screw for the throttle stop loose? they come loose sometimes and cause the throttle to not fully close. cable adjustment can be an issue to

 

Fixed that for ya

 

Set screw? I wasn’t aware of one. Can someone point that out?

I believe my cables are ok. But is there a definitive way to know what to adjust them to? I did tweak with them a little bit during the install but barely and there’s no tension at rest. They all have just a tiny bit of slack.

 

the little alen head stud with a nut on it in this photo right side right next to the bore

 

Interesting!!! So is that supposed to be fully tightened I assume?

 

And do I tighten the Allen head or the nut?

 

its an adjustment. if its not loose its probably fine. but you can break it free if the things still tight and see if your idle drops when loosening the whole thing. the nut is a jab nut to allow adjustment

 

Ok I see. Thanks a lot! I’ll get on this asap.

 

God I wish I had a high-roof topper...

 

theres a company that sells a riser for the toppers theyre called ezlift toppers I think.

 

Did you ever check the hose coming off the pvc?
