Just like a degenerate sibling, I only come around when I need something.
The '05 4Runner (V8) started to throw some codes, VSC off, VSC trac, and the check engine light. Last time this happened it was the gas cap, and I went with the checker brand, so I was hopeful for a similar issue. Well, it wasn't. Temp gage started going crazy. Coolant level was good but it smelled hot. Took it up to have the codes read and it ended up being 0117. The google search results only yielded one possible cause I felt comfortable tackling, the thermostat. Needless to say, I didn't get lucky as she's still running hot. Probably going to be a sensor. Any shop recommendations? I'm in Peoria and will be heading to LHM Toyota to pay too much unless someone can point me in a better direction.
Thanks in advance, fellas.
