MY dads 94 3.0 5speed starts up and runs fine for about the first 10min, after it warms up it starts to sputter, ive noticed black smoke out of the exhaust (indicating that it is running rich) and eventually it dies and will not restart till it cools off. our initial thought was that the motor...

I had the same symptoms and thought it was my relay too, after trying 2 or 3 different ones i gave up on that. I read somewhere (either on this forum somewhere or in my Haynes book) that the whole circuit is tied into the rear wiper motor setup. Mice had chewed my wires and i got a whole new...

I just finished the replacing the head gaskets on a 94 SR5 limited i bought for $1300. i originally purchased it as a winter beater but after 2 weeks on the road i'm getting to like it more. i would like to gain some more MPG's outta this thing ... any suggestions? (different air intake...

does any one have specific instructions for setting the timing with a timing light ?????i recently replaced the head gaskets on my 94 v6 3.0 and every thing went fine... the truck is not running 100%, and i feel its because the engine is out of time... i set the motor to tdc and made sure all...
