the P0172 is a system rich error. Basically the ECU has pulled 20% of the base injector timing out to compensate for a rich AFR.
Does this truck have one of my old MAFs installed?
Years ago I bought a MAF that was new and in a Toyota box off of EBay. When I got it, it didn’t work. Wrote back to the seller telling him this and he cussed me out for being a scammer and told me I was lying.
I responded that I had a special...
Since I started to show my truck some love it's been one thing after another. For a while now it would have rough idle at times and reving the engine seemed to help. Yesterday out of the blue the truck started running erratically rpms dropping...
FYI, I have a complete factory underfloor tire carrier sitting in the garage, recently removed in order to install a Long Range America 42-gallon auxiliary ttank (story and pics coming soon.) It's yours for the price of shipping. Gotta keep those...
So the first samples of the intake adapter arrived today. The castings look great. A small issue with mounting them and a larger issue with plumbing them.
Mounting issue was from the counter bores for the hollow dowels needs to be 7/16”. I...
The new shafts I build are just under 4.25” Diameter. Toyota also uses a smaller diameter DC. It’s the joint with outside clips and found on some tacomas.
But those joints require pulling the shaft to grease and have smaller bearing caps and...
on a side note. During these times of driving distances in hot weather it was usually accompanied by the Charcoal canister hissing and a kerosene smell from under the hood. Working on my truck a couple of years ago I spotted 2 kinked hoses that...
At one point in Salt Lake City the transmission himp was so hot my phone powered off. And my AC was cranking
My exhaust runs over the frame like the 93-94 models and it needs some heat wrap.
I had that a moth ago when I drove cross country. Basically the fuel in the tank had heated to a point where the tank was pressurized.
I started to pay attention to tank pressure when I first took the cap off. And started to add fuel slowly at...
For me, u-joints tend to vibrate more under less load. The common deceleration vibration is from negative load. The shaft is trying to slow the truck down.
Not the best explanation but hopefully you get the idea.
Remove the rear tires and place jack stands under the frame in front of the LCAs.
Unbolt the body from the frame leaving the front bolts loose in place
Using a chain, attach it to the 2 floor striker points for the 3rd row seats.
Attach a...
From me designing my seat brackets I've found that there is 2 distinct weldng positions on the frame rails. It has to do with the position of the 2 hole block that the following nut for the lead screw that moves the seat back and fourth. If you...
So here is a sample of my power steering fluid. Flushed it out and took the truck for a drive and everything seems fine. I’ll probably flush it again after driving some.
