P0430 Passenger AF/O2 Had an P0430 code pop up. Cleared many time and the code pop's up again pretty quickly. Never looked at O2 sensor data. Had a Denso O2 sensor sitting around so I figure to put it in. It has about 60 miles on it. I can not get the P0430 code to come on. Will update...

I read somewhere the ticking noise is common for V8's. They come from the lifters in the cams. I have them too. I also have exhaust manifold leak from living in the north where they salt the roads. Had a section repaired for $1200, I am sure I will have to change the whole exhaust manifold...

I agree that the 2UZ-FE is an interference motor. Last year I had the water pump explode and cut the timing belt at 80 mph. I had to get another Engine. You can see photos of the old engine in my photo album.

Thanks! Was afraid the answer is the same...hoping there was something new that I did not know about.

I'm looking for a remote start and reviving this to see if there is any new devices that can plug in and use factory remote like the Fortin starters?

I believe this is Slyfox Edit: my bad. Should have PM'ed you before I bought mine

Alternator change today at 170K. No signs of failure.:sobbing: Glad I made it back home before total failure.

The trick I use is, to hit it with PB blaster for a couple of day after driving around for a while. What I am betting on is the heat difference between the parts cooling down gets the PB in deeper then I hit it with the breaker bar gently back and forth to break the bolt loose slowly...

little over 170,000 on 05 V8 limited

I still get the code after slyfox bypass kit but I am guessing its because I did not install the block out plates due to rusty bolts. So, I install this OBDII diag scanner Then paid for Torque Pro to clear my faults until summer time.

I agree, I love my V8 AWD and wont change it. From my research the gas mileage difference is only 1 miles / gal so next to nothing. I also love the AWD, its lot of traction - much different than 2wd.

did not know that. Thanks!
