Anybody have any experience w/ Harrison R&D and their OBD-II software? http://www.ghg.net/dharrison/index.htm I'm thinking about splitting the cost w/ my cousin. He has a used Volvo XC and the software should also work w/ my 97 cruiser. Notice that they also sell “Deer/Game feeder products.”...

I definitely want to stay OEM, do you think it's worthwhile replacing the wire to the coil as well?

Well it actually turned out to be the plugs. I'm sure the gaping hole in my hose didn't help much, but after I replaced the section of bad hose I really didn't notice a significant improvement. This proves to me that my temporary duct tape repair was first rate. ;) Last night I replaced all...

Head gasket??? I’m wondering if I’ve blown the head gasket on my 1997 40th anniversary. When I get on the gas, particularly going uphill, and the rpms get around 2000 it hesitates and shudders. Not consistently though. If I’m on a downhill or flat it runs fine. On the way home today the check...

Beowulf: Let me know what's easiest for you as far as passing along the info to test the modulator, as I don't have that information. Feel free to email me thru this site as well. Rogue: Your story is inspirational in a concerning kind of way! :G thanks

Thanks for all of your responses....all my receipts and my manual are home right now. I need these to sound somewhat intelligent in here ; ) I'll post part numbers and a few questions about this when I get home tonight. This is a great site. Hopefully, I can actually contribute something someday.

I just purchased my first landcruiser a little over a month ago. It's 1997 40th anniversary edition w/ 102000 miles on it. After owning it for 2 weeks my check engine light came on. I had it read by a Toyota dealer here in Salt Lake City. The code was PO401. I had the EGR valve, the VSV valve...
