@OP I believe a faulty o2 sensor will lead to crappy mileage but I would expect that to trip the CEL and show a code on a reader. Or I could be totally full of it, as this is all coming from a dad of a 15 month old that is back sleeping in parents bed. Yeah, he kicks a lot in his sleep. o_O

Hey, after you do yours come on up to the Bay Area and I'll buy you lunch to do my upper control arm bushings.

Passed smog, good for two more years Yep, passed smog again. There is a certain amount of elation when you have to go through enhanced inspection and still pass. 'Gross Emitter' status my ********.

Great job on the van. Makes me want to build a full size 4wd van. Keep up the good work.

Rewired my horns around the faulty steering wheel switch. Sometimes it the small things :) Next up see if I can save my wheel bearings that seem to have developed 'play' all of a sudden.

Anyone have a pin out diagram/schematic of the OBD2 port on a 98 Montero? I know pins 4,5 are grounds, pin 16 is power but none of the other pins. Trying to diagnose a link failure error also no CEL in "on" position and no start on the motor. thanks Josh

Awesome set of drawers (almost too nice to throw gear in). Wish I was in Southern California to see them in person. GLWS.

@Toasty, I will look up ‘control module', doesn't ring a bell offhand. @evomaki, nope still not running. Been doing a lot of multi-meter checking between ECM/harness and other components (nothing definitive yet). Have the front of the motor pulled apart to get to crank/cam position sensors...

Weird, do you have some security or preference sections checked in your profile.?

Makes me want to sell my 06 and buy an 07-13 Tundra. GLWS

Any updates on the LED bulbs?

Montero died on the trail, no warning about 15 miles from nearest pavement above 10k feet. Checked all fuses/relays in under-hood fuse box, battery cables, grounds, swapped out ECM with another 2.5 Montero and that checked out. Symptoms: 1. car will crank, but no start; 2. ultra-gauge...

towed it back from Bishop to Walnut Creek after it died above 10k feet w/electrical issues on the North side of Coyote Flat. Can now say I have coasted my Montero down crazy steep (well, it seemed that way) trails with no power brakes or steering. Pucker Power! Time to dig into FSM. Died, no...

LEDs Any pictures of the LED light pattern? thanks

Thanks Nick for all the leg work. I'm still looking into the transmission issue by the way. I'll check out the relay/wiring this week.

Can someone point me in the direction for a thread on switching the rear outlet to always on? Wanted it to power a fridge on an upcoming trip when the Montero is off. Wondering if there is a way to do this w/out running a new dedicated from battery? I seem to remember someone on a different...

Still haven't done mine, new valve stem seals have probably rotted out from sitting in my shop so long? LOL, chemical rebuild keeps the smog folks happy every two years. :wings::victory:

Bad link homey

casue the temp is over 100, might as well get under the gen2.5 for maint Time to prep the Montero for upcoming trip to desert. New fluids, frt & rear diff, TC, engine, and transmission fluid swap (still waiting on arrival).

My 98 did the same thing, horn would start going off for no reason usually when I was driving to the gym at 4am. Pulled the fuse.
