Did you have to drop the tank to replace this hose?

Fair point! For the drain/weed whacker line, is that pipe accessible from the top or underneath the front end?

Thanks. I was really hoping I would be able to just easily clean a hose but of course it sounds like a bigger project.

Thanks Charlie. If I pulled the blower motor and box, do I need to drain coolant? Is there a good picture or video showing how to pull the blower motor and box?

Thankfully I have weathertech mats so I can easily dump it, but it’s not ideal. It’s just water, not coolant. Is my evaporator case clogged? If so, do I need to drain the coolant before I pull it to clean? Is there a good video showing how to drain it?

Going to replace my MAF and clean my TB. Do I need to fully remove the TB or is leaving it on and cleaning it sufficient enough? If it’s not too difficult I’ll remove it, but I couldn’t find a decent video showing the removal.

It’s been a few months but I’m pretty sure they all came from rock auto. I found a local shop that will do the injectors, so I’m going to do the plugs and the rest of the coils as well just to be safe.

Thanks Charlie. I used NGK stuff for the ignition replacements. I had no idea the lean codes and possible bad injector could’ve led to the head gasket failure. I guess I need to expedite my order and repair so it doesn’t happen again.

Cracked it while replacing the radio. Only options seem to be pretty expensive on eBay. Is there another place that has the replacement piece?

Any other ideas, or does it seem like a bad injector?

Thank you. Forgot to mention that I already replaced that, and checked for air leaks with carb cleaner and didn’t find anything. I also cleaned the MAF sensor and TB. Also replaced the spark plugs, wires, and coil on cylinder 1. Still have the same codes.

I’ve had this issue for almost a year now. CEL is p0171, p0300, p0301. I replaced all plugs and wires, and coil on bank with cylinder 1. I have a mild fuel smell not only when pumping gas but after driving as well which I attribute to the system lean code. Also, I have a slight hesitation when I...

Thanks. Coolant was a little low so I topped it off. New fan clutch is on the way. Timmy’s video looked straight forward so I’ll take care of it next weekend.

Thanks. But once I start driving and get air moving the temps go back to normal. If you still think thermostat, is that a difficult replacement?

2002 sr5, 145k miles. Let me preface this by saying about 1000 miles ago my head gaskets blew. It was fixed by a reputable shop and then I moved states. I’ve had check engine codes (p0171, p0300/301) for a while now, I’m assuming it’s my injectors. Haven’t got around to replacing. I can smell...
