that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad a$$! you are my hero lol. thanks for all the pics

ok so i found the gremlin.. i wanted to post up my solution in case anybody else has the same problem. so i had the loss in power, and kept getting a lean code. i finally found out that the timing had jumped a tooth after fixing this i noticed A major difference, it felt like i had 80% of the...

it's pretty simple.. just find an aftermarket coil with the same ohm resistance as the stock one and then cut off your stock plug and wire your new coil to fit the same leads. then buy a coil wire off a old v8 and use the end pice to het your yota coil wire to fit your new coil.. with the right...

yes it's normal for the sleeves to be slightly taller. it's to prevent you from over tightening and cracking the cover. also use felpro gaskets... and goood luck... i've done this 4 times this year a the mother F***ers still leak like a mother F***er! lol

^^^^^ agreed.. i hat this happen twice.. once it was the a/t light and batt light, the other time it was the antilock rear break light and the voltage guage was reading 11v. but both times it was either a loose belt or cut wire going my alternator.

hhhmmm nobody? i also have noticed it's intermittant. it will run good, then bad, then good then bad... WTF?

the timing belt was off, it had jumped a tooth so i reset it and runs much better now but after an hour or two of driving it will kick on the cel and then within another min or two start running like shiz. i also notice that the valve cover gaskets start to pour out oil around the same time i...

compression is good on all cyl (only 3k on the new rebuild)(which btw cost as much as a 3.4 swap and i am still having a$$ loads of issues with it) but here's the latest. i cleared the code again and filled it up with 89oct gas and it is running decent.. def something still wrong, and i...

bump.. i need some help from the guru's. so i checked the valve timing, the timing belt had jumped 2 teeth from a piece of a ball bearing i found in the timing cover. i set it back to the proper timing, and now she's running at 10 deg TDC and alot smoother. so here's the kicker... when the...

ha ha ha ha funny how fast this thread lost track.. but yes i agree pictures would be cool! as far as what happened.. the bearings were most likely worn causing the oil to flow too freely and making you maintain low oil pressure (which is the first sign of either a worn pump or bad bearings)...

i have an aftermarket intake.. i checked.. no leaks.. but one thing i did notice was a TON of oil in my intake and throttle body and my filter was 30% saturated!.. driving with it so leaned out has caused the oil to thin out and leak everywhere i suppose. it wasnt like this 2 weeks before the...

yeah that's what i was thinking.. i was like how can this engine run that far off? and when i set it to 10 deg it sputters and runs like crap! i also noticed that at about 23deg it seemed to run good, but once i hit 3k rpms the truck suddenly jolts and boom good power like new (this is the...

ok so i had a CEL for a long time (code 71) i found a bad vac hose, and replaced it. code whent away, and i started to notice a power loss over 2 weeks. then the CEL turned back on.. code 25 (lean). i tested the MAF, TPS, ECT, sensors.. all are ok. i also checked the EGR, all ok. the obvious...

i have a frienf who took the stock airbox and intake tube and used it to make a snorkel. he opened up the airbox and blocked off the inlet with a piece of plastic and silicone. then drilled a hole in the top and epoxy'd in a large diameter pvc coupler (that was cut in half to shorten it)...

i've heard alot of good things about the blue devil HG repair.. 60 dollars and most people say it held for about 10000 miles before the leak came back.. normally i'd say bite the bullet and just repair it properly. but the 3vze is just overall a beast with alot of issues.. i spent well over 2k...
