We shouldn't have an excess but I'll mention it to him for when he checks it. Its been leaking fluid, and whenever we check it (after we add when it leaks) its never over the fill line. I bought it having been told the tranny/transfer case had been rebuilt. I'm tempted to just have it rebuilt...

I wish I could be fixing this myself but being at college has stopped me from that. My dad replaced the cold start injector and egr valve. He said that the shaky idle and dying when cold. No progress on the transmission, he said he was going to crawl under and look for the leaks himself before...

Thank you for the links. I'll keep everyone posted as I figure things out.

The exhaust does definately smell (like its running rich). It's got a new cat converter on it (mine was stolen :redbrick: ) We thought it has a small exhaust leak.

No if I hold the gas to where it rev's up a 150-200 rpm it idles. I'll have to check the timing when I go back home (hour away at college staying in the dorms). Had to leave the truck there or I would check it now. I'll also see about the cold start injector and tps. Thank you.

Taking it to a tranny shop this week. Still need help with info about engine dying while "cold".

I don't know about the tach problem. But with the smell/sound of the exhuast... Is your cat converter still there? Seems like a stupid question but from personal experience, it does sound like that.

1995 3.0 Auto I just recently had my head gaskets replaced after they had blown and also a valve job (they said a valve being off caused the gasket to mess up). When I got it back it didn't run quiet right (dying at idle, really rough idle) so I took it back and they ended up cleaning the fuel...

Love the runner, can't wait to see the engine outcome. Also love the 3000GT parked next to your 4R in the last pic.

Except '95 is a 2nd gen man. YotaTech has a 2nd gen lift guide in the 2nd gen section :)

Had this for about a month now. First large purchase on my own (parents bought my first car). anyways... 1995 v6 auto 4wd SR5 Needs a little work. Once I get most of it paid off the mods will start coming. Love the yota though, don't plan on turning away from them after owning one.

@Habanero: Yeah it's pretty messed up... We just gotta work through it and rebuild bigger and better. Also, Thank you for the links! p.s Thank you for not taking the "gawk" route. It hurts to see people driving through just to see the destruction. You wouldn't imagine some of the people, they...

I agree. I'm actually glad it didn't come with the side 'striping' stickers that most of them seemed to have. I like the clean look of it. But that's my opinion.

OME is Old Man Emu. Off road suspension brand. :)

You don't even have to take the car to a Toyota dealer to check the recall. Just go to the Toyota website. At the bottom of the main screen on the site it says "For Owners" scroll over that and up to "Toyota Owners". Then on the next page, at about the same spot as the last button, it says...
