Re: 4runner mileage
If you are getting 17MPG I have 7 words to say to that.......WTF ARE YOU BITCHING ABOUT!!!!
BTW...if you look inside your door and find the tag on inside pillar on drivers side front..you will notice where it gives you the factory tire size and if yours has not been corrected for the 32's you will be going and traveling actually faster and futher than speedo and odometor shows.
Many of us that have that gas guzzling underpowered,poor performing glorified anchor weight excuse for an engine (3.0L V6) in our 4X4's would love to get 17MPG's(and hell yeah they ride and handle damn nice and only reason I let mine follow me home and stay like a cute faced gf with a wideload butt and a great personality).Let us know if you find a miracle short of replacement or 3.0 to 3.4 engine swap lol
I get 16 tops on hwy with 31's and no luggage rack
The norm is from 13.8 to 16 on this setup bud
You messed up good on tune-up part selection with those Bosch plugs..they work great in VW's and some Mittsubshi/Dodge crap....go with NGK or ND's next time and you will notice the difference.
If the inside of oil filler cap looks a bit grungy I might do a simple pre oil change flush and forget the treatment and let your synthetic oil protect you unless you have oil control problems or smoking.
Lucus makes a great transmission fluid treatment/conditioner..if fluid is a ruddy brownish color and/or smells burnt...I would do a filter and fluid change before adding.
DO **NOT** attempt to clean the MAF..it is very sensitive not to mention expensive...clean the throttle chamber where throttle valve closes with a rag damp with WD40(do not spray any into chamber)
Don't know why you would want to tweak/screw with AFM flap as this is only something you would do with either a modified engine or after adding headers and free flowing exhaust and find out you're running too lean....it is set up for optimum from factory already and did I mention it is very sensitive and expensive already???
Personally I use Castro Syn-tech 10-30w and a gin-u-wine Toyota oil filter on mine and always on Toyota and Nissans use the factory spark plug wires (found way too many other clients using the best wires money could buy,and the *cheapest* on these motors and swapped back to factory wires and found them to run better and solve many mysterious drivability problems oddly enough...lol)
