you're on the right track, all be it a frustrating experience. I hope the monitors get tripped after going through all the steps!

You're absolutely correct, but being the instant info I need right now kinda guy, I just asked AI and it vomited out the info out of the FSM in seconds vs me having to grab by manual from the garage. I loved that it knew CA emission rules that's applicable in this scenario. I also uploaded my...

Don't give up on that thing just yet! I did a little digging and found Toyota's actual readiness-monitor drive cycles for the 1FZ-FE. They're different from the generic Toyota drive cycles floating around the internet. The EGR monitor has a particularly important requirement: coolant...

This is puzzling to me as well, so I asked AI: 1. The EGR monitor has a very specific requirement Toyota's 1FZ-FE procedure (Drive Pattern #2) specifies: Important precondition Coolant temperature must be below 104°F (40°C) when starting the test. Start the engine and begin driving as soon...

Wow, you get EGR readiness monitor COMPLETED after the deletion of the EGR? No way!

holy beefage :oops:

I ended up buying one for myself after using his: https://www.ebay.com/itm/366730358703?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337589904&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 Another 200 owner did a nice review on an older version of this tool:

i concur with you. The 5speed auto is such a pleasure to drive behind the 4.7. It's in my 4runner and I tow with it quite a bit so that's where I think it really shines for me. I'd love to have it behind the trubo 1fzfe some day....

Matt came through for me with his scan tool. I'm able to see what's going on with the suspension ECU.

A friend of mine has a GX460 and the rear air bags have deflated. The suspension ECU is now experiencing a "low voltage lockout" due to the battery going flat. All she needs is a techstream or any other OBD bi-directional scan tool to talk to her BECM then tell it to reset that fault code...

just to add to above, the weathertech mats are great for catching the drips from the windshield when it rains heavily !

Oh man, I can't wait to spend your money :flipoff2:

i know there's a check valve in the charcoal canister but i don't know of another one in this system. My thread identifies the hard lines near the fuel tank that goes to the CC. Scroll down till you see the pics Evap/charcoal canister relocation -...

the molding is suppose to be above the cowl. You'll see a rub line on top of the cowl from the rubber. Is this the new windshield?

I'd be curious to see the oil pressure before the front of the engine is taken apart.
