does the vehicle crank? if it does please remove the old air filter and leave the air filter intake box open, unplg the maf sensor, try and let me know.
Service your transmission. Change the fluid and filter every 24,000 miles. The owners manual doesn't call for it, but they want to sell you another car at 100,000 miles. I have had to replace a few transmissions following the manufacturer's instructions before I decided to ignore that part.
Click on the following free, direct Link. I realize the Link has "4 Runner, but the 4-Runner and PreRunner have the exact same Engines (2.7L & 3.4L). The Link has the Timing Belt Diagrams for your 1999 Toyota PreRunner for either the 2.7L DOHC In-Line 4-Cylinder or 3.4L DOHC V6 Engines; including Marks and Instructional Diagrams.
Sounds like one of the auxillary belts slipping it may just need tightening up. I think the 4-Runner has two belts one large and one for the steering pump
Hi robrtsn,
As you forgot to say what the engine is in your 4-Runner....I'll give you the rule of thumb....if you have a timing chain in your engine, you'll need to check it only if it becomes noisy....If you have a timing belt, the manufactures recommend that it's replaced every one hundred thousand kilometers.....thats about sixty five thousand miles.... I believe that the later vehicles...(those with the electronic odometer fitted) have been extended to one hundred and fifty thousand, but to be on the safe side, I'd replace at one hundred thousand, especially with the number of sub standard parts that are available on the market these days....
