It had been running for 10 minutes or so. The engine was good and hot when I got back under the hood.

No, I did not. I had some ups and downs in life like most of us. It caused my oil issue to go on the back burner and it's been sitting ever since. I just recently purchased a new oil pump and pickups. I finally have my garage clean enough to roll her back in. However, my wife decided to fall 2...

The oil level was fine. I had a newer oil filter on. I had changed the oil a couple of times in the past week trying to determine if there was crud in the oil. Pan is damaged. I did treat the engine with some seafoam which may have loosened up some crud. The oil pickup may be clogged, however, I...

I was finally able to get some time to check the pressure with a gauge. At idle the pressure held around 18psi. However, at 3000rpm the pressure dropped to 10 psi. Bad oil pump or oil pickup clogged? I used 5-30 oil. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/dvCk1UI"><a...

I didnt put much in there. Honestly cant remember. I think half a can maybe. Going to try a new filter next as well as still trying to get the oil pressure sender off so I can do a pressure test.

Yes, 6 in 6 out. I'll try and see if I can get the 7/8 socket on it. Tks

Long read, but I wanted to make sure everyone knows my timeline. My 97 with 187k sit in the driveway for a month due to a busted water pump. It was dark when I got home in the evening, rained or was too cold to change it on the weekends. After I got our garage cleaned out and 4unner in, I...

I replaced the driver side Stabilizer Bar Link (OEM Parts) because it broke. Now I've got a vibration while driving. It really does not matter how fast or slow either. Would it be from the passenger side being worn? I did not think I needed to replace them both at the same time. I had planned on...

I cut the belt for now. Problem solved. Thanks for the advice!!

Hi all, Hopefully, someone can steer me in the right direction. I did a few searches, but searching for clutches brings back a massive amount of manual clutch results and not many air compressor results. I've got a noise coming from the air compressor. I know very little in this arena. I'm not...

My 97 sr5 has had a slow oil leak for some time now. I've put off fixing it for long enough. I've created a bigger problem by letting it go for so long (I know, I'm an idiot). I believe the leak is coming from valve cover gaskets however, I need to clean the entire undercarriage to help pinpoint...

I actually remembered it as I was finishing up so I took the time to look. Belt looked good and from what I could see, everything matches up!

I did and all is good!

After getting the generic P0306 error, I changed out the plugs, wires, PCV value, and O2 sensor. The plugs looked suspect, especially #6 which coincides with the error code. Its running much better now. I did uncover another issue. Seems the value cover gaskets need to be replaced. Normally not...

jgue467, I appreciate your response. I really didn't think the muffler could cause my issues, but thought I would ask. It wasn't throwing any codes when I read it last however, this morning that changed. Its getting the generic P0306 error. Hopefully, its not something bad. I've picked up new...
