Timing Beltby Lorne (no login)Take it to your local dealer, they do something with the diagnostic box which cancels this alarm. They usually do it when they change the timing belt.

V-6 90' 4 Runner w/rough idleby (no login)my V-6's idle fluctuates(drops down to 400rpm) after its been warmed up...i recently tuned up the ignition...plugs, wires and timing...added fuel injection cleaner in a couple of tankfuls of fuel. anybody else experience this? it dosen't idle rough all the time...but even when it does, if ya give it some gas...it runs fine(smooth)....any input is appreciated. czar from IP address 67.118.253.223 |
Rough idlingby Lorne (no login)My '91 V6 does the same thing. The service manager at the local Toyota workshop cannot explain it, although every time I take it in it runs perfectly ( I think he thinks I'm dreaming it or I am a nutcase or something!) I have found that it only seems to occur after I have been driving a bit harder than normal. We are still trying to nail it down and when we do I will post the outcome on this and other sites. from IP address 210.54.247.221 |
v-6 rough idlingby (no login)lorne, thanks for your input...pls keep me advised and i will too if i find out what going on w/that! it is very frustrating! czar from IP address 204.114.52.126 |
Rough Idle?by (no login)Hey man , hate to tell you this but mine was doing the same thing and it turned out to be the head gasket. I had the Head gasket replaced during a recall about 4 years ago @ 36,000 miles. I now have 80,600 original miles on the engine and the head gasket blew without warning(engine shut down and would not start). I went to toyota and i called Toyota NA and and told them that I only have 46,000 miles on a replaced head gasket and that it just blew. The told me basically too BAD. We replaced it once and your on your own. After some complaining to the local dealer they were able to get toyota to pay for the head gasket set($300.00)BUTT I had to pay for the labor which was roughly $1300+. They didnt know what conditions the heads were in. and it could go up to $3000.00 + . Well i made the mistake and took it to the dealer(VERY BAD IDEA!!!!) and they confirmed that there was water in the cylinders and that it would not start. Well Ive thought about this really hard and said screw it , ill do it my self . So when i went to the dealer to pick up the Truck i asked them if they could push it outside and ill tow it home . Well , now all of a sudden they tell me that the mechanic was able to drive it in and out of the shop. SO I questioned why i was told that they confirmed that it didnt start when in fact it did! ALl i got was a dumb look and a bill for $83.00 for the diagnostic which I had told them what was wrong with it in the first place. So long story short I can do it myself for under a$1000.00 and have piece of mind . STAY AWAY FROM TOYOTA DEALERS!!!!! Good Luck. from IP address 67.82.163.250 |

3.0 Engine Rebuild Costby Donald Tong (no login)I just had my 3.0 rebuilt by West L.A. Engine (800-200-3644). I just got it back yesterday so it's still being shaken down. The base cost is about $3200 installed. They don't actually rebuild your engine - they have long blocks that they've already built, then install some of the parts from your old engine (oil pump, sensors, etc.) They provide a 48K mile/four-year warranty on the engine. If they're not local to you, they will ship the engine whereever you want and let you do the install. from IP address 198.3.8.1 |

BLACK SMOKE SURFby DAZZA (no login)I just got back from a deisel tech., coz i had the same problem and they checked out the turbo to see it was seeping oil but that was fine. Then they suggested either the injectors needed to be reco'd or the fuel pump. But as they called their workshop for a price on the pump, which is about $3000aud, the other tech. told this guy to check out the EGR valve coz they sometimes seize up open which causes it to blow out more smoke than usual. SO they disconnected the vacuum hose and plugged it up from the EGR and the smoke has reduced by 70%. And u dont really need the EGR coz its only to burn up excess fuel while the engine is cold rather than throw it out into the exhaust. So give that a try, if not go the injectors first coz they r much cheaper than the pump! from IP address 203.134.51.113 |

Power Steering Failure ?by (no login)I purchased my 4Runner used from a private party 2 months ago. I took it to a Toyota Penske Dealership and besides everything comming back worse than it originaly was, here is my main concern. After buying the car, I had the dealer give it a 27 point inspection and they found 1 cyl of the engine to be low in pressure, and a very small leak from the power steering pump seal. As the dealer was installing the new seals, they imformed me that I needed a new pump. I gave the go ahead. The dealership replaced my power steering pump, after I received my 4Runner back from them, I found that turning was noticeably more difficult. I decided to test the 4WD system off road, so I headed out of the city. While steering aggressively on the winding dirt trails, I had noticed my steering would bind while steering back and fourth very rapidly.I complained more, and they ended up replacing the pump for the second time. And it still binds. The dealer informed me that this is common with 4Runners. I live in Los Angeles and I was informed by the dealer that the power steering fluid becomes too hot during aggresssive steering which is causing my failure. The dealership also added that if I added an after market pump/cooler, and continue the aggressive steering that I'm doing while off-rading, that I would blow the power steering gear box. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. from IP address 4.65.211.190 |

Hi-Lux Surf Slow Speed Rumblingby (no login)I have a 92 Hilux surf, which has done 88000km, just recently it has started making a loud rumbling noise, which seems to be coming from the front end. The strange thing is it only does it when slowing down between 40 and 10 KPH (with and without using the brakes), and it is in phase with the road noise from the tyres. Can anyone suggest any causes because I have exhausted all of my own theories to no avail? Many Thanks, Andy Leicestershire (UK) from IP address 213.122.18.73 |

Rumbling up frontby Lorne (no login)A possible cause for this is wear in the bushing where the front drive shaft passes through the hub. There is a solid bush in there, not a bearing, and when this wears it can sometimes cause the axle to "float" in the bush. I don't know whether the bush is available separate or if you have to buy a complete hub( I hope not as they are not cheap!!). Good luck. from IP address 210.54.247.221 |

Surf Overheating at Idleby (no login)Hi, I have a 1990 2.4 Turbo Diesal Surf that is overheating when idling. After driving for 20 mins or so if I stop at lights/traffic for a few minutes the temperature climbs toward red. As soon as I start moving the temp decreases to normal operating temp. Yesterday I noticed that if I rev the engine to 2000rpm's when the temp begins to climb it will decrease back to normal again. Today after driving for one hour the temp gauge did not move above normal operating temp but when I turned the car off I noticed the reservoir boiling and steam coming from it. In the last two months I have had a new water pump and thermostat installed, and the radiator serviced. The cooling system has been pressure tested and apparently there are no leaks or cracks. Does anyone have any ideas on what the prob could be?? Any help is appreciated.. from IP address 203.24.6.121 |
Overheatingby snappy (no login)I would check the thermostat. my a 2.8 diesel had a worn out thermostat. Going Up-hill the temp would rise under load, going down-hill (coasting) the temp would go down. I replaced the themostat and now the temp stays the same all the time no matter what temp conditions or engine load. from IP address 203.14.108.187 |

Overheatingby Lorne (no login)I had a 2.4 turbo Surf before my present V6 model. During a routine service the mechanics found my radiator overflow bottle empty, which, after an extensive examination revealed a cracked cylinder head. Apparently this is a very common fault with the 2.4 turbo diesel and the best way to rectify is by fitting a new head, NOT by trying to repair a cracked one. Hope this is of help to people. from IP address 210.54.247.221 |
Surf Overheating at Idleby Randal (no login)Your overheating problems are highly sympomatic of a problem with the radiator cooling fan clutch. The silicone fluid in these units tnds to leak out over time. The result is that the fan cannot draw enough air through the radiator when the vehicle is stationary and therefore the engine can overheat. You can renew the silicone fluid in the fan clutch with Toyota part # 08816-10001. Get your cylinder head checked for cracks to be safe. Cheers, Randal. from IP address 203.59.246.17 |

Overheatingby (no login)Hi Clyde In the end we pulled the head off and discovered it had 6 cracks and had some water in it, and this is despite the fact that it still passed several pressure tests. When the new head went back on the turbo and alternator both decided they didnt want to work so they had to be recond. as well. It ran a little strangely for a while which I am assuming was just wearing it in, as it is ok now. Total cost was about $4600. From memory about $2k of that was to renew the head. Expensive but the problem was fixed. Good Luck and let us know what you find.. Kurt from IP address 203.24.6.121 |
