It can be due to one or more of the following reasons:
Idle air control valve.
Throttle body clogged.
Weak cylinder compression.
Vacuum leaks.
PCV valve defective.
Fuel pump regulating valve.
Ignition system.

Does a 1998 toyota four runner have a fuel cut-off switch

It doesn't have one-its the circuit opening relay that powers it. Also the airflow meter is responsible of grounding the COR if it doesn't the fuel pump won't be powered up. Looks like its a fuel cut switch for a carburetor-never seen it on a FI Toy truck with a fuel cutoff switch but a Carb-perhaps I'm wrong

Also it don't have a fuel pump relay

Jumper the DLC ( batt to Fp ) and see what happens-attempt to start vehicle and also try this block open the airflow meter vane flap and try again

Idle is too high on 1990 4-runner v-6

Before you start messing with idle screw check for vacuum leaks and fresh air intake hoses, remember MAF sensor is close to air filter so inspect those hoses with a light to found any rips.

Asking about a 1994 toyota four runner idles fast and sometimes surges. Took off air intake hose and there was a puddle of oil inside, cleaned that out, cleaned throttle body, checked all vacuum hoses....

That sounds like an air leak in the intake manifold area. If there is no hose off,it could be a intake manifold gasket problem

2001 Toyota 4runner idle rpm is too low

Hi Seanmcm21,
More than likely the low idle you are experiencing is caused by a dirty IAC valve located right under the throttle body itself. It needs to be cleaned out with carb cleaner. Remove the electrical connector, the two vacuum hoses, and two screws. To put it back, use a little sealant to seal it before screwing it back together but do not get the sealant inside the IAC valve. If this 4 Runner is a V6, you may need to replace the spark plugs if old. Make sure to purchase twin electrode NGK or Denso spark plugs and gap them to .043 with a gapper.
