    I just got this 3r gen and I’m back in the Toyota family again
    It runs good but it stinks. It had a couple mice in it. This rig lived in the woods for the past 10 years and probably in 4low for most of those 10 years. It has 267k on it. 4x4 works WD button and rear dif bottom. “Stoked”. Drove it down from northern cal about 60 miles. It made it home just fine. But this green solenoid switch ? Under the throttle clicks intermittent and it’s annoying. ?? Help?

    Is that the idle air control thing?

    Also, change the lower ball joints and clean and paint any rust.

    Sounds right. It only clicks when this engine is warmed up good.
    it passed smog check.
    for sure needs new ball joints and bushings, and a good cleaning.
    It’s not a daily driver, so I can take my time. Thanks for the input .
