My tick comes from cracked exhaust manifold I think (not the plugs). If you are in there I would likely change the plugs, inspect the coils. Plugs - dry install (no copper etc) - 17 ft.lbs - worked a treat for me. Good luck.
Can confirm my car has a new radiator & the clutch fan is good. I have witnessed thermostat opening at correct temp (184F) but my car typically runs 190F….. (ref data file). Temp is solid - does not vary ever - so I live with it.
Hi - this may be a bit 'empirical' for your taste - but I have a similar car (age/mileage/duty/Colorado) - I traced my gas tank pressure problem back to the charcoal canister (based on research of this forum & other people's experience) - so I purchased a used one off eBay for $100 - changeout...
Went with someone else’s ‘actual’ experience as opposed to ‘fooling myself’ - I hear what you are saying but where’s the ‘proof’ - often genuine items are available for less on global market than in USA (eg partsouq) - due to the coil’s stellar reviews thought it was worth the chance - so far so...
yep - thx Yves - the thru fitting with ability to tighten up against the airbox from either side - I'm going to the hardware store and will rummage for something suitable - will update the post when I find the right thing. Quite keen on plastic & epoxy as joint is not under stress (my tape...
I think this will be my first attempt - I'm gonna get some irrigation nipples (different sizes) and see what is most suitable - will also look to see if there is a suitable bulkhead fitting - as ever, for aging vehicles & motorcycles - JB weld is king :D
Hi
The nipple in the photo has broken off my airbox assembly - currently I have the hose taped on (not satisfactory) - Has anyone repaired this / similar and if so how did you do it?
The shop's suggestion was $1000 for a new air box.....:oops:
Thx
Jim
sorry to hear about ur situation - super frustrating I can imagine - For reference I have 2000 LC 4.7 petrol (USA spec) - I dont know specifics of ECU connectivity - I just did what someone else recommended...
after 3k miles - checked LH bank of cylinders - 2/4/6/8 - all plugs tight - however set torque wrench to 17ftibs and snugged them up slightly, from previous 15 ftlbs. Will do same with RH bank in due course.
OK - you prompted me to action as I am towing the camper to Moab this weekend - I just purchased OBD Fusion + the Toyota add-on ($20 total) - can now see the 'AT fluid temp' - takes 10 mins to install - can get a dashboard on iPhone (IOS) - works with my existing 'Foseal' plug-in wifi OBD...
For your consideration - with hindsight I'd really have preferred an arrangement that also gave transmission temp too..... there are ways to do it and plenty of threads - here's one - OBD 2 just received now.... - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/obd-2-just-received-now.1066799/
This is on my...
after reading all the threads - absolutely impressed by the ingenuity - I was fast coming to your conclusion - especially when you consider potential fuel leaks in the engine bay - my wife would beat me senseless, especially if there was an incident when the High Schoolers were driving it.......:)
Another item of passing relevance - I was greasing the drive shafts last night - couldn't get onto two (2) of the Ujoint zerx fittings - too tight. did a bit of research and purchased this item - LockNLube Narrow Needle Dispenser - it fits on the grease gun adapter - it pushes the zerx ball off...
