Sorry for the delay in posting an update on this, work has been way busy. So the stalling at idle was due to the shop screwing up when they replaced my timing belt. 300 miles and 4 days later my crankshaft pulley started coming off due to them not torquing the bolt to the 217 ft lbs needed. The...

An update on my situation. The shop that did the timing belt is claiming that the crankshaft was going out when they performed the timing belt change and timing gear change. The owner claims that the crankshaft did not go out because the crankshaft pulley was coming off but rather the...

Here is a post i found on another form about the same issue (apparently more common then you would think!) "You do not need to get a new bolt, but be aware that they do have a new revision of the same bolt which you might not already one. The "old" style is bronze with a loose washer and the...

I did not catch that it was for the 2002:ybrick:, it was listed under the 96-02 page. I could be wrong here but I believe the reason the part number is different is because toyota improved the bolt design on it after having several of these problems arise. The different part might just be the...

How old is your manual? Ive read that 184 used to be the toyota specs but they changed it to 217 after several problems. Just curious. Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies. The shop said it needed a new crank. When I called they were really evasive with me and after saying shed get the owner, she came back on and told me she would have to price out parts and labor. Still havenet called back yet so im thinking they are trying to figure...

Here are the pics of the HB after i took my shredded belts off.

I have another thread about my issues but that was more for diagnosis and now I need some expert opinions from some real mechanics. I appologize for making multiple threads but its kind of a different topic all together The vehicle: 97 4runner 3.4 2wd I was having power loss issues and after a...

Thanks for the reply guys! Im really hopping it just slid forward. The shop manager is supposed to be calling me back shortly to talk about it. If it did damage to the crank i guess the shop is going to tear apart my engine for free, because im definitely not paying for this repair. Ill keep...

Thanks for the reply. Anyway easy way to tell if it ruined the crank shaft? Also would that cause stalling and then a no start situation?

Just had my timing belt replaced two weeks ago, truck ran great till memorial day they started stalling at idle and when stopping. 3 days latter it just died completley and wouldnt start back up. Thought for sure it was fuel pump. Replaced that today (damn you toyota for not making an access...

spent all day with it replacing the fuel pump only to find out at the end that the shop i just took it to last week for the timing belt screwed up the crankshaft pulley. Its halfway off and chewed up my belts. Who needs a beer? This guy.

Real quick, I have another thread going but need one separate answer. Does the fuel pump on a 97 3.4 receive power when the ignition is on or does it have to be cranking. Thought my pump went out dropped the tank but I'm not getting power to the pump with ignition on only power to the sender...

Please Help!!!! Im so frustrated right now. My fuel pump wasnt kicking on after my stalling issues. So i pulled the harness and was getting 12 volt and 5 volt on the wires on the top of the harness(3 on top two on bottom) so i thought it must be fuel pump. I dropped the tank, which was a real...
