I know this thread has many different posts, but hoping for different insight as I think this one is a little different. I had the 430 code and decided to try the less expensive stuff first. I have replaced all A/F sensors (except drivers side), exhaust gaskets post cat, reset all computers...

Is anyone able to share how they removed Bank 1 Sensor 1 O2 sensor for the 4th gen 4Runner V6? Cannot seem to figure this out? Tried to remove the exhaust bracket but can't seem to do that unless the entire cat is removed? Thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated!

Ok, thanks everyone! It looks like it is consent with the P430 code along with the above mentioned. So thinking about checking for exhaust leaks first, then moving to O2 sensors?

Hello All! Having an issue with my wife's 2006 T4R SR5 V6. We live in Montana and temps having recently dropped to 8-10F overnight. When I start the vehicle in the AM, it has a super rough idle and cannot seem to find a proper RPM upon start up. I am able to apply gas and reach about 1200...

1). Nope, not rude at all! I was in the wrong and need the correction! 2) Picture is hard to tell, but the crack is on the part to the left and the crack runs left to right on this part only, not the vertical space between the part and the block. If that makes any sense? 3). Just curious...

Ok, well I don't think its the oil pressure sensor. I think its coming from between the block. Not sure what that means or what could have happened during timing, seals, and belt changes. Cleaned everything up really well. I did notice to tiny crack at the top of whatever is attached to...

I think that the AC Compressor is on the other side? The passenger side? I kind of think its between the oil pump and the block as well. However, I will make sure it's not coming from the temp sensor too. Thats a good idea. I will reclean today and retest to make sure. If it is between the...

Not sure what part this is? Or if this is a pump or gasket failure? Recently replaced the cam seals, crank seal, timing belt etc. I started to notice oil accumulating on driveway and undercarriage after change out. Cleaned engine really well. Originally thought there was seepage from the...

Very similar problem. However one wrench to throw in! 3rd Gen, 320K, 5VZ Engine. Replaced the timing, all seals (cams and crank seals) all belts. Shortly after, I noticed oil accumulating on driveway and underneath vehicle. Mainly leaking from the driver side. Washed the whole engine to get a...

So I have the dreaded P0171 code that I have been chasing around. Just to see if anyone else has had this specific accompanying symptom. Mine only comes on when at idle. It comes and goes. Ill reset it and it will stay off for 2-3 weeks. Here's the rub though.. The light will flicker...

Sounds good! Rotated and balanced at Discount Tire. I've also noticed that the vibration is variable and occurs more when under load such as going up hills etc...

I know front end vibration posts are never ending! The issue I am having is that I am getting vibration more in the steering column around 2300-2500 RPM at HWY speeds around 70-75 mph. I have ensured that the tires are rotated and balanced, however, I become completely lost when it comes to...

Ok, thanks for the input. Would yall suggest replacing the brushings first or just go ahead and put a new alternator in?

This morning, I found my battery light to have come on. However, it quickly went away after driving out of the neighborhood. When I got to work, I ensured that the plug in the back of the alt was plugged in well and did not notice any corrosion or breakdown. Started back up, with no light...

So just noticed a rear axle seal leak on the back passenger side. Gear oil seems to be on the inside of rim and backside of tire...Would this cause the noise? Worried about what's inside that's damaged.
