Did a few maintenance things.
TRD O shaped throttle body gasket.
PCV valve and grommet.
Steering rack guide
OEM fuel filter, had replaced with a cheap one 50k miles ago and decided I should put an OEM one on.


Steering rack guide installed. Couldn't get the old one off by hand so I put a wrench on the guide bolt and then used a jack to slowly jack up the wrench and that worked perfectly.


Did the seafoam for a second time. Last time was like 50,000 miles ago so their wasnt massive amounts of smoke. Last time I did it through the brake booster, this time I did it through the PCV line.







And then also replaced spark plugs and wires.



I've also been having a weird rough idle, and a misfire once, that was always there whether in park, neutral, or drive. I've read since doing my timing belt, that a loose crankshaft bolt can cause issues like that, and when doing my timing belt, I didn't have a torque wrench that went to 217 ft lbs so I just used an impact. So I figured I would try the cheap fix first and see if this would fix my idle issue. Rented a torque wrench from autozone. Purchased a piece of wood and two grade 8 bolts for a couple bucks. Drilled a big hole in the center for the socket to get through, and then two 3/8 holes 7.5cm apart on each side of the big hole. Just had to remove the fan and radiator shroud. Put the piece of wood against the frame and torqued down. It worked perfectly. On the way home I still noticed a slight rough idle, not as bad as before, but now when I put it in neutral or park it went away, so now I believe it is transmission related.
