I have both cats off. Plan was to straight pipe. Unfortunately, both cats looked great and replacing all gaskets, bolts, washers, etc. These are the part numbers from a local Toyota dealership. He pulled the schematic up and mentioned 90917-0643 and 90917-06072 as in the pic below. I haven't...

I use the Trip meter for Oil changes... Let's me know to add a quart around 800 mi. mark.

Just finished the break-in period.... barely halfway there.

Oh no... I've done everything myself on this for the last 20 yrs... but not the upper. Every project creates 7 more.

Oil change. Took off the pan to replace RTV. Not as much of a pain as I read. Cleaned all the screws and took my time with the pan. I replaced finger tight and waited an hr before using Torque wrench. Waited about 12-15 hrs to add oil and all is good. 1 leak at a time.

Mudgudgeon, you were correct. It ended up being a vacuum leak from the valve cover vent hose. I don't remember if it was the PCV valve, grommet, hose, or exactly what I did but it resolved the issue after a year of messing with it. I was reading my previous post and was sitting at 341,000 mi...

Sounds good... the vacuum lines were 1st on my list and replaced all a while back. I got the VAF back from NAPA yesterday. Quick recap... NAPA has VAF rebuild on the website - https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NECXTP420097 7-10 days they send off for rebuild. 40 days later nothing done due to...

I agree. Once my VAF is returned from NAPA and its trip around the US, I'll be able to better troubleshoot some of the above suggestions I may have overlooked. My throttle cable isn't in the best shape but I don't believe it would cause the issues I'm having. You never do know. I need to...

My challenge is I feel I have looked at or changed out a majority of what would cause the issues I'm having. Why can't it be the VAF? Does it have a lifetime guarantee? I understand it more than likely shouldn't fail and a long list of contributors exist. But from the 6-12 months of reading...

Goran, I'll try a trunk monkey if it's an option. During the last 6 months I've spoke to Cruiser guys in Colorado, California, Utah, Minnesota, Canada, and Australia looking for either a refurbished or ideas. I'll either go with the ebay guy in the Carolinas or finish my back and forth with...

Sporadic rough idle at low rpm's. Will be idling nicely at an intersection or red light and then slowly begin not breathing well. Will get to a point where it almost dies. I've gotten into the habit of sliding into neutral and giving it a bit of gas to keep the idle a bit higher. I've...

If anybody's reading this, how about we try Flag Pole hill again. Next Thursday night - 7-15-2021 at 7:30pm CT, I'll be in the small lot by the flag. This is going to turn into a Sturgis size crowd after the first few get togethers.
