How much volts should you get when the 2004 4runner is running and why am i only getting 12volts with battrey wires on and 13volts with battrey wire off?
With a fully charged battery (12.68 v) and the vehicle running, you should have aprox 14.2 volts at the battery connections. Do not disconnect the battery while engine is running, damage to the alternator can occur. If I read your question correctly, it sounds like the alternator is at fault.
Is it illegal to leave your car running in Colorado?
While it might not be illegal in some places to lock a running vehicle, you may find that having a car running with keys in the ignition and no driver to care for the vehicle would invalidate your insurance as the vehicle was NOT secured. By not having insurance, the law is broken anyway.
