My vent valve (PCV valve) isn't working properly and I can't find it under the hood. the attached diagram isn't much help for me to locate it. Sorry!! can some take a picture of it and circle it for me... please.

FYI Advance Auto has a sale on Mobil1 syn 75W90 $6.9x (2 bucks off) ends July 26ish.

It just shows how clueless they are. My parent's Avalon had a stalling problem and CEL. They diagnosed it needed a $1000 computer. She said no and I talked with her for about 10 minutes and I diagnosed water in the gas tank, Sure enough it was water in the gas tank. I saved her a grand and...

I read so much on this forum that I should stick to toyota pads but I have heard Wagner thermo quiet are being used. How have other's experiences with them?

Very easy to replace all plugs (although the back right one may scratch up your hands a little bit) yeah i moved the bracket and hose myself. and the air filter thingy should come off too. Be sure to purchase a little pack of anti-seize and put a small dab on the threads so the next time you...

I went to the stearship and they said I should put in new break pad shims when replacing the pads and they wanted $50. (wow just as much as the pads) Since I never heard anyone mentioning replacing them. DO I NEED TO? are the old one good enough to leave on? Do they prevent brake noise...

In my 4th generation 4runner and I have side impact airbags. I see a tag on the side of my seat (backrest portion) mentioning the airbags.... My question is.... Is the bag in the the physical seatback? reason why I ask; I want to put in a different seat but do not want to lose the safety feature.

I had this summer; the AC 'cutting in and out' I would get cold air and then it was warm for a little bit then back to cold.... all during full fan and still trying to cool down the cabin. I was getting bubbles in the glass so I assume it needs a little bit of 134a. So mine didn't quit...

Did you locate your AC glass window and look for bubbles running through the 134a or freon?

Is the light solid or just blinks 6x at start up.
