I pulled the engine and transmission to complete a full engine rebuild. This breather is a nylon fitting with a barbed hose connection. It was brittle and broke off when I pulled the engine and it took a bit of hunting to determine where it went. Removing the section that was broken off in...

Gracias and perfect timing for weekend troubleshooting.

My truck is a late 1995 so it has OBD2. There are no codes reported and this circuit diagram for the fuel pump is a bit different. This circuit has a an FP pin on the check connector which makes it easy to check for voltage at the fuel pump. I have this connector and it has a spot for a pin...

Found this test procedure in the FSM for the Fuel Pump Relay. Mine is good so on to other tests.

Thank you for this schematic and the AFM detail. I'll check it out and report back.

Hey team, I've got a no power condition to the fuel pump. I've checked all of the fuses and relays and I'm down to the fuel pump relay. Does anyone have a pinout of this relay so that I can bench-test it?

The starter and mounting surfaces are clean and flat. The teeth on the flexplate look new. I'm going to see if I can get a camera into the bell housing access port. I should also check the runout in the flexplate for giggles.

The AC control is off. The system is not charged hence the pressure switch would not engage the compressor. Confirmed that the AC compressor pulley is free spinning and noise free when the engine runs. This noise is specifically when the starter is engaging/disengaging. Noise goes away when...

These are all Autozone starters and not OEM. The current and last starter is brand new High Output 2.2KW Everything was torqued to spec with a digital torque wrench per the installation instructions below. No mention of a green bolt. The orientation of the flex plate is correct and I did...

It's a new engine rebuild with a new AC compressor and Alternator. The AC isn't charged yet. The whining noise after the start is the Power Steering that needs to be bled. The actual start process is pretty rough sounding with a zing at the end of each starter disengagement.

All four starters made similar noise including the original. I was fighting the intermittant click no start problem and worked through it. The noise was a secondary issue. Now I'm focused on resolving the grinding noise.

I recently rebuilt the 1FZFE engine in my LC and had this starter screech both before and after the rebuild. The vehicle sat for a year before I pulled the engine and assumed that a new starter would correct the issue. I replaced the original with two reman starters and more recently a brand...

Gracias...

I recently rebuilt my 1FZFE engine and I'm missing two of the common upper oil pan bolts that go on the side of the pan. My local Toyota dealership struggled to identify the part numbers for these bolts. Can anyone assist with these part numbers?

I'm largely getting a click but no crank. Sometimes I get a whirring noise like the starter is spinning but the gear is not engaging the flywheel. Again, If I pull the starter and bench test it with the same battery and jumper cables, the gear fully extends and the starter spins. There is...
