    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    My local independent Toyota shops refuse to work on it because they “don’t have time for a head job” (sounds like the wife lol :rimshot:) nor do they have time for sending it out for the associated machining. The 2nd shop I took it to said it had 30 PSI in cylinder #5 and told me that I had a...

    OEM driving/fog lights

    That’s a hard switch to find in the US and can go for a pretty penny here to someone trying to achieve that clean OEM look. Note that the bulbs themselves aren’t yellow -the non-US spec lights actually have a yellow filter in the lens just like the 90’s Lexus’s.

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    Thanks for the direction here, I appreciate it especially those insider tips. Hopefully it is just gummed up, and it is definitely intermittent because it idles perfect sometimes for days at a time and it always makes me think it’s fixed and then all of a sudden it starts randomly stumbling at a...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    I drive it here and there but lately I’ve been avoiding driving it to prevent further damage, mainly because until recently I wasn’t sure what was going on around the lean condition/code 25 -can I drive it on a couple hour trip on only 5 cylinders safely? Do I disconnect the injector or...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    Solved: The EBay/Amazon VAF eliminated the CEL and the lean condition however it still had a significant intermittent miss that would periodically pop up at a red light or randomly when idling otherwise it ran fine especially when the RPM’s were up past idling… So I checked the compression and...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    What I meant by easy emissions is that they don’t really inspect things visually (my missing PAIR valve passes visual without a second look) and thankfully no dyno checks here either but none of that matters if I can’t get this thing to pass. Thanks for the input all, that info on the VAF is...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    I made some progress here finally and my fuel pressure and compression tests rendered no issues, but when I tested the engine’s vacuum it wasn’t registering on the gauge at all even after all the focus on the vacuum lines. I didn’t think of these items previously but I noticed oil leaks from the...

    16" Wheels on a GX470?

    No, I never tried them but I was reading awhile back how someone has the 80 series wheels on an FJ Cruiser and they said that the OEM 80 series wheels do not clear the calipers without shaving so it may not work for the GX. I was looking to fit Tacoma/FJ Baja 16 inch wheels (OEM TRD simulated...

    Starter clicks and no start

    Lol, so the baby is now 5 years old and I’ve finally got time for an update, sorry… I rebuilt the 2.2kw starter with OEM parts and that did the trick -I haven’t had any issues since. OEM only is key. I also cleaned the NSS and everything mentioned by Cuaround but I didn’t end up using the...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    No, I haven’t worked on it lately nor taken it to the dealership. Sorry I don’t have anything good to share but I recently bought a vacuum gauge and fuel pressure gauge so I will be running some tests there and report back. I did check the o2 sensor wiring and they were fine and I also adjusted...

    97 LC Downshift into first gear front end clunk?

    Grease the driveline, mine did the same until I refilled the driveshafts with grease

    Free swag from Toyota if your Toyota has 100k miles or more.

    I think this is a scam, I never received the stickers…

    Fuel pump issues in 1993 80 series

    I had the same issue awhile back and the Circuit Opening Relay tested fine too, plus I found the same situation where it would start/run only with the FP-B+ jumper so I tried a friend’s COR and the truck started. I immediately replaced the COR with a new one and my starting issues went away but...

    Here’s my 2008 at the Gilman Tunnels in the Jemez mountains.

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    I did the helicoil and it worked great and held strong so the manifold is now sealed but I’m STILL getting a lean code so I switched the oxygen sensors between the PAIR valve manifold ports 1 & 2 (again, these are new sensors BTW) because I read in another thread that the 93/94 NTK o2 (24080 and...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    Thanks all… Look, I’m not very experienced (but willing to learn) nor do I claim to know what I’m doing, so I’m not sure what’s “iffy” other than my lack of experience, lol. I’m truly only seeking advice on an evolving issue because clearly something unexpected (to me) is going on here since now...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    So I was looking at the exhaust manifolds because after my last smoke test I noticed a small amount of smoke in the area after I started the vehicle -my eyes were trained to finding smoke after the hour of smoke testing I guess. I hooked up the smoke machine to the exhaust as WC recommended and...

    ‘94 won’t pass emissions but NO CEL

    I found the timing was definitely advanced, probably around 5-6*. After I put white paint on the timing mark, it was much clearer where the timing was at, so I set it to 3* and noticed a slight/minuscule drop in idle speed so I will drive it around today and possibly take it for an emissions...
