Our event doesn't focus on the raffle, it has always been more about the people and wheeling. Nevertheless we always have some cool stuff to give away but how our raffle works is after Saturday nights dinner and happy hour ( sponsored by...

Apparently not. Remote troubleshooting is only as good as the answers to the questions.

Again, please download the Toyota FSM and EWD. Why would disconnecting the coil output to the distributor rotor cause any issue whatsoever? How would this effect ignition timing??? You said you didn't adjust ignition timing and that the engine...

OK, that's good. So ignition timing was not disturbed. The distributor does not get "power". There is no +12 running to the distributor. Only the ignition coil and igniter get +12. Please download the Toyota FSM and EWD for your truck from the...

Not trying to be combative in any way, but this doesn't make sense to me. How can you "flood" a running fuel injected engine?

OK, I can see doing a general tune up and compression test, but messing with ignition timing should not have been on the table and should not have needed to be adjusted since THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. Rough idle can almost always be traced back to...

Starting on page EC-6 of the FSM there is a test procedure for the entire EGR system.

There is no mention of "clear flood mode" in the Toyota FSM. No idea if that is even a real thing. DID YOU HAVE A RUNNING ENGINE BEFORE YOU ATTEMPTED ANY MAINTENANCE??

There is no part number for that gasket. The dipstick assembly is 87240-60170, but has been discontinued. I would try to remove the existing gasket and match it with an aftermarket part.

Have you tried resetting the indicator lamp using the method in the service manual?

I'll ask again: Is the pulley not spinning freely? The PS pulley should turn easily by hand with almost no resistance. What part is "squealing"? The 3FE has 2 idler pullies with bearings. How old are the belts? Are they OEM belts?

you might have a seized idler pulley or your belt is too loose....remove the belts and rotate the pulley and see if they spin freely...

Both of my diff drain plugs had been ground down to almost nothing. Even the face of the allen head was almost paper thin. I had my local hot rod shop grind off what was left of the old rings and weld in a thin piece of chromoly pipe for both...

I'm not sure what you mean by "my power steering pump pulley started squealing the belt". Is the pulley not spinning freely? The PS pulley should turn easily by hand with almost no resistance. What part is "squealing"? The 3FE has 2 idler pullies...

EFI fuse is 15 amp.

Those part numbers are for the 1FZ-FE starter. The OP has a 3FE. 28235-35080 plunger 28226-72080 battery side terminal kit 28226-72010 motor side terminal kit

This has been asked several times. DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE WITH THE KEY IN THE ON/RUN POSITION BEFORE CRANKING THE STARTER????? Until you provide an answer we cannot continue with diagnosis. NO CEL=NO START

If you're anywhere on the cross hatched area on the dipstick, worry about other things.

Why?

Battery and alternator goes hand in hand. The performance of one affects the others and vice versa..

Have the battery tested. A shorted cell will bring down system voltage.

If you're running E rated tires at 32 psi with no weight in the truck, you're rolling on concrete, not rubber. I daily drive my LX450 on 315/75R16 E load Toyos between 26 and 28. If I'm loaded and pulling a trailer, I'll run 33 to 35 max.

Our 100% stock 40th rides and handles great. Still on Michelins. Tire pressure may be the quickest way to make a ride change, and it's free. Factory pressure numbers are designed for the factory tire, and are set to balance...

good point - I'll go back and add in the temp references for all those links. - and while I agree, it's a lot different pulling a 4AWG cable than trying to get a 2AWG through some places (so it'd be nice to know with some accuracy what is...

The 3FE put out 155 bone crushing horses when it was brand new. A properly maintained cooling system should have zero issues keeping things cool. Fan clutch Aisin FCT-049. Nothing else. These clutches are usually robust out of the box, but could...
