Old thread, but I wanted to post my problem and solution. I've replaced just about every possible suspension part on the front end over the past few years. I recently bought new tires (285/75R16 Open Country RT Trail) and FINALLY bit the bullet on a new rack and pinion that has been leaking...
Just started today, what seemed random at first, has been confirmed to be EVERY TIME I release the brake pedal, all doors unlock? Any thoughts? I checked all fuses, and checked the rear hatch wiring harness from some other posts I read about.
Mine are running at 36psi as well. They are a 10 ply tire, which is the case for 90% of A/T or M/T tires in 285 or larger. If you stick with stock size, you can find 6 ply. Personally I didn’t notice a huge difference when I went to my first set of 10 ply. But, I’ve been running them so long...
Just upgraded to some Nitto Trail Grapplers. The tires I had previously were Kelly TSR safari in the same size. I like the looks of those tires, but I have since learned due to the harder rubber compound that extends the tire life, you also sacrifice traction when wet and in other scenarios. The...
Odd problem that I’ve run into. After an overnight rain, there is a beeping such as the ABS alarm and the odometer is lit up as if it has power. Starts and runs just fine. The first time, the ABS light was on for a short time and then went off. My guess is there’s water dripping in somehow...
I spoke to Shannon, the battery light came back on after a few more miles of driving. It was odd, I saw slight voltage drop when the light went off. Then 20 miles later the battery light pops back on and the voltage jumped back up ever so slightly on my gauge. I have checked the battery is...
Road trip headed home and my alternator bit the dust. Battery light came on, confirmed it was not charging. I bought a battery to give me 50 miles to a mechanic with and replace the alternator. Everything is charging fine and running great, but the dang battery light is still on? I’m not...
How old is your Cruiser? It's probably time for a replacement / rebuild...which means there's no way around it. You'll need to pull it for either. Personally, if I'm going to the trouble or expense of pulling the starter out, I'm going to replace with a quality part instead of rebuilding...
I've recently been through some throttle body sensor issues that caused my idle to go crazy. Have you ever replaced your Throttle Position Sensor? They can / do go bad from time to time. They need to be adjusted when installed. My Autozone part was garbage, but a Toyota TPS cured my problem...
Long story fighting throttle body issues...finally replaced the entire assembly after replacing the TPS, and the Throttle Position Motor.
Motor was purchased from Amazon, ASIN brand, was on my cruiser for just a few months. Before throwing away the old throttle body, I pulled the motor and the...
Check out Kelly TSR Safari also...I'm running 33's and got 50k miles out of the last set. Somewhat aggressive for an A/T, but not very loud on the road. I'm on set number 2 currently.
Mine turned out to be a leaky intake manifold gasket from a botched coolant-leak job a year before.
Then I had issues with an Autozone TPS. Once replaced with a Toyota part, no more issues. Fast forward a year and along with a starter replacement, I learned my throttle body was not acting...
I replaced the motor on my 2000 Cruiser after also replacing the TPS and Accelerator Position sensor as well. Long story that turned out to be a leaky intake gasket from a prior repair the year before. The shop did refund my $. Fast forward a year, I had a new starter put on at a much better...
Thanks for the reply. I am certain the correct sensor was replaced based on what the code reader said. We did it once, then the shop did it a second time. Also when he bought this vehicle that sensor had been replaced recently. Based on that, I suspect there is another issue that we have not yet...
I have an odd oxygen sensor question for the expert! I have a friend with an 06 Lexus 470. He had a check engine light for a bad O2 sensor. Bank one sensor one, if I recall correctly. It was the downstream on the driver side, not 100% sure. Either way, we replaced The sensor and the check engine...
close to half of the $3k may be for the roof alone. Did the insurance adjuster write for PDR (paintless dent repair)? If so, have a local shop quote you for the hood, fenders, and doors and you might be happy with their quote (be sure to ask for PDR). If the insurance company wrote for...
Sorry for the rambling. Siri helped...
My question is:
Can replacing my throttle body actuator cause the TPS to need to be reset? The TPS comes off with the motor housing and the adjustment screws are not affected.
Or could a PCV valve bushing (rubber) be worn and affecting vacuum thus causing...
