    Dash lights, Heater controls, rear defrost button are dead???

    Okay the fusible links are fine and the headlights are working. The fuses under the dash have all checked out. I don't have access to a meter at the moment so I'm stuck with plug and play. I did replace the tail lamp fuse and also noticed the tail lamps and break lamps are not working either...

    Thanks all that looks good but still nothing. (I don't see any fuses off the battery) The radio still has power as well as the rear heat controls.

    random intermittent oil light?

    Dan - I had the same thing happen to me last year on my 91. Turns out in my case it was the first indicator that my alternator was about to go out. Watch your voltage and see if it is fluctuating as well. If the light is on and the voltage out of whack it may be the alternator. You may want...

    Thermostat?

    Thanks thats what I was thinking. It did not get hot enough to boil over or any other visible signs were present. No hot air and temp gauge went up. When I looked under the hood it was hotter than normal but other than that nothing strange. I have been planing to change all the hoses and...

    Thermostat?

    While driving the kids to school yesterday I noticed that my heater was not blowing hot air. I took a look at my temp gauge and it was in the red. Does this mean my thermostat has had it? Any ideas and thanks in advance.

    Blown Motor?

    I got the new plug in this morning. It's not very difficult to install just a little hard to get to. I had to unplug the #5 wire for ease of access. I used the back side of a dye about the size of the plug to press against it and hit the other end with a hammer. I got it in eventually with...

    Blown Motor?

    Thanks for the info. I ordered two pulgs from toyota should be in on Tuesday $1.25 a plug. Any special tools needed? I was thinking a hammer would do the trick. I would like a long term solution to the problem but I need to get it back on the road asap. Welding the plug in place sounds like...

    Blown Motor?

    I think you are right. The leak is around the number 5 spark plug above the starter. I have not seen the leak myself and have not had the opportunity to dump any more oil in there and go searching. I agree with you guys theses blocks just don't crack. I think the motor is fine. Thank...
