Thanks, The job was time consuming (one car garage) and I ended up doing the pan and the rear main seal as well. Its been running for 2 or 3 weeks now, no leaks and runs great! Thank God, I don't want to do it again... John

I found an on line service manual with all the information. I have found most auto forums are good at sharing info and helping out when they can.

I am doing my little sisters head gaskets on her 94, V6. I have done the job on one before, but its been about 2 years. I don't remember the head gasket torque values. I will be using Toyota parts for sure. Is there a site which has some of the torque specs and sequences?? John

Thanks for ? well the truck has been repaired, my sister spent 800 bucks trying to solve this problem at two shops. She had a code 14 and 71. Turns out to be just a problem in the wiring harness, an open connection. Since the truck is running perfect now without any help from this board I wont...

I am sure it would be nice to find the fuse but if you jumped the clutch "correctly" and it didn't come on, thats at least part of the problem. I don't have any data on clutch failure but it seems to me unlikely the clutch is skewed. Most likely you tested it incorrectly. I know using a test...

UP Date!!! I did take a look inside the distributor, as I removed the cap the rotor fell out, apparently the rotor attaching screws were not tightened down. I found the screws at the bottom of the distributor. Nothing like quality work ! One might surmise the screws may have bounced around in...

Hello, My younger sister has a 92 4Runner, 2 wheel drive auto with 180K miles. She has taken the truck to one shop over time and has had mixed success. Now we have a code 14, which involves the ignition system, internal distributor issues or an igniter and surely all related wiring. Given...

Gh0st, Yes, I am glad to here you have the same code description as I've found. It looks like there may be a wiring issue, so it would be nice to have the use of a wiring diagram. Colors and computer pin locations are helpful. This is a great truck and has run great for years. John :)

Hey guys and gals my baby sister has a 92 4Runner and it has some trouble codes turning on the check engine light. She needs to get it smogged here in Ca. The shop she took it to can't seem to solve the problem. The codes are # 1, #4, and #7. I guess #1 is a normal condition. The others seem to...

95 4Runner, :awais: My 4Runner has a odd A/C problem. First off when it works it's great in the hottest weather it blows real cold, blower motor works well. The system just stops blowing cold air, it does blow air, just not cold. I can look at the tack when I...

The engine computer and the traction control computer work together. When one see a skewed sensor input as important as say an knock sensor they than can't rely on there respective maps. In this case since the engine had a fault large enough to inhibit performance the traction system defaulted...

Wheres the Creativity!!!!95 4Runner & Knock sensor relocation Guys I have a 95 4Runner and it has a code 52, now I understand it is involving the knock sensor or circuit however Is there any reason I can't install one outside on the block. I do understand it may need to be tuned but could I use...
