A scan tool should take care of this. Be aware that clearing the code does not fix the issue. Here are some code readers we recommend: https://cartreatments.com/best-automotive-scan-tool/

The gas cap looks good. I changed the purge valve. Maybe I will change the vent valve again, because installed a junk yard one. Thanks for the post.

Thank you for the advice, and just to let u know I did first check the smallest less expensive possible causes & or problems, and because I have the worst luck, of course it wasnt anything cheap and simple, no my truck is 22 years old & a temperamental beast but I love my toyota, & honestly shes never left me stranded until recently but I’ve done mostly everything so I know there cant be to much more to fix or get fixed on her. Just wish for once itd be a cheap fix instead of the highest priced part on her. I have looked around & called several places in and around the area I live in, I dont trust any of them honestly cause in 1 way or another they are out to make money & usually females dont know a whole lot about vehicles except this 1, I have lived and learned & still learning but hopefully by the time I’m done with this truck, I’ll be able to open my own shop & fixed not just my vehicle but many others as well & make a little money doing it, but I wont be **** hard working people that just need their vehicles fixed not tons of other **** they dont need.
I thank you again & maybe I can ask u what u think the next time I run into an issue or another problem with my toyota if that’s ok with u.

Sincerely,
Olivia DeTienne

The amount of DIY work you’ve done on your rig is admirable! I think you may save money in the long run by bringing your vehicle to an independent mechanic for a formal diagnosis. Independent mechanics are almost always cheaper than dealerships. Ask around for trustworthy shops in your area.

After the shop diagnoses the issue, they don’t have to replace the part if you don’t want them to, but having that professional diagnosis may end up being cheaper and less frustrating than throwing parts at the problem. It could be a simple fix such as an O2 sensor, open circuit, clogged hose, etc. If this is the case and you fix it yourself, it’ll probably only cost you a few bucks over the diagnostic price, which ranges from $100-300 depending on how in-depth they go.

If you have the time and the patience, you could also read through the fuel system section of the factory manual like a novel and perform the diagnosis yourself using the recommended procedures. It’ll take quite a while to learn the ins and outs of the system (it’s pretty complicated), but you’ll save even more money that way.

I feel like I’ve dont mostly everything and knowing my luck its something stupid & cheap but i dont like taking my truck in to the dealership as they used to take advantage since I’m a female & lied to me on several different occasions about them fixing the issues and charging me for them when in fact nothing was fixed at all. Female or not, doesn’t give them the right to do the **** they have, so I have learned how to do the work on my truck with youtube, my best friend who has his own shop but lives a ways away & reading all that I can b4 doing the work as well as having the manual and my father when in doubt. I am really low on funds, especially now, I have no job & 4 kids to feed by myself. I need help getting my truck working * running properly, PLEASE HELP, if u have any suggestions or what I can look at next or check or test cause I’m at a lose, even the injectors are ok. Maybe it’s just time I get a newer vehicle but who can afford another Bill’s especially a new car PYMT. The codes range from p0172, p0440, p0171, to fuel system to rich, emissions system, evap system malfunctions, I feel like I’ve dealt with every single code there is & I should have a brand new running vehicle with everything that’s been replaced on it but I dont. I bet I’ll probably have to drop the gas tank & replace all of that as well along with the axels bearings, drive shaft I’ve done, I love my truck, u cant go wrong with a toyota 4 runner 3.4 liter v6 which is the better engine that toyota built & they will run forever, well maybe not mine but I cant put her down just yet, shes my beast help me fix my beast.

Thank you very much, I appreciate all the comments that I can get in response to fixing my purple beast.

Sincerely,
Olivia De Tienne
