1999 4Runner SR5 4WD V6 193,000 miles
My 1999 4Runner threw two codes when the engine check light came on. Toyota of Greenville checked the codes and found it was the catalytic converter and also the throttle body. They fixed the throtle body and reset the codes and I took it to a muffler shop. They checked the catalytic converter, which they replaced last year, and said it was just getting old and it looked good, but will always and forever make the check engine light come on. It did. I took it back to the Toyota place and they ran the codes again and again it was the new throtle body- which they said they cleaned out. The light went off after they reset it and now the light is on again!! My car is also eating up a LOT of gas but feels and runs smoothly. What should I do? Thanks, Alli

Hi Alli,
We need to know why the light is on. There should be codes stored in the memory of the engine computer. If you could tell us what those codes are, we might be able to give you some better information.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
