TEST IT YOURSELF, ON THE TRUCK. With all your accessories running. Just do it. Do you have a multimeter? You can buy one for $3 at Harbor Freight. 88 4R, 350 V8, R150 5 speed Sold <...uot; /> 97 4R, stock, daily driver 98 Sienna, kid and dog hauler, wife's ride Re: 4Runner won't stay running [Re: Adam F] #966340 10/20/09 11:51 PM Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 33 Aurora, CO calisurferdude OP Getting the Wheeling Fever So I had a mobile diagnostic service come out to look at the 4Runner today. There is a wiring problem with the alternator. It's not keeping the battery charged. Also, the compression in the #6 cylinder is 0. The #5 cylinder is 150 (in spec) but slow to build up. I plan on doing a leakdown test next week. I just have to go to Harbor Freight to pick up a tester. I don't want to go tearing into the valve cover just yet. 1987 Toyota 4x4 w/94 bed, 5spd.
