I've been lurking for a while, asking questions regarding others' auto matters, but now it's time for my vehicle's next oil change. Vehicle Info: 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited 92,XXX miles (I'm the 2nd owner. 1st owner was a Jeep Dealership mechanic, bought it off the lot, took extremely good...

Originally Posted By: WillsYoda My 1999 corolla had the same issue. The valve cover gasket seals come attached to the spark plug gasket seals. The spark plug seals were letting oil get to the spark plugs, and so the misfiring was there. I got a felpro valve cover gasket and installed 4 new spark...

Originally Posted By: JMJNet IIRC, misfire code cannot be cleared since it is monitored continously. In other words, it will code as soon as a misfired condition exist which is when the car is started. In a Toyota, it is usually caused by bad Spark Plugs, bad spark plug cables/coils (depends on...

I've recently started taking an interest in caring for a 2000 Toyota Corolla (100,000+ miles) driven by someone I've taken an interest in The car is possibly a 2001, but an eighth generation for sure. Haven't gotten around to checking the manual/VIN/Etc... I'd assume it's burning a little bit...

Thanks all. I'm used to forums sending email alerts when replies are posted to my threads, but seems that doesn't happen here (or I haven't figured out how to turn that feature on, though, I've tried). Last I heard, after reading your responses, she decided to take it to a family friend who...

Originally Posted By: 02SE Knowing which engine the truck has, and whether it is 2wd or 4wd, would allow us to identify the exact transmission it has. I know it's a 4 cylinder (not sure of codes) and it's a 2WD automatic.

Originally Posted By: rustypigeon If the truck is the 4WD version, it has the A340F transmission. Since the noise is heard in N and P, it can likely be narrowed down to the torque converter, oil pump, O/D input shaft bushings and bearings or the O/D planetary carrier. These are the only items...

Originally Posted By: Nick1994 Austin made the transmission for XJs and Toyota. AW4 in an XJ and A340 in a Toyota. I believe the housings are different. If you want to look for a transmission, I recommend www.car-part.com Thanks for the referral and the codes.

Originally Posted By: bullwinkle The AW4 has a rep for being pretty tough-maybe look for a decent used one? Indeed. Not sure how she was searching for a trans or for which trans.

Yea I think she's in that "what's it worth to me vs what is it actually worth" boat. Not sure if she could afford to buy another car.

Great question. I didn't check when I briefly took a look at it, but should have.

Thanks all... and really, she's got an AW4 as well?! Two votes for the TC/Front Trans Pump! -K

Hey all... new here and glad to have found ya. I'm an XJ owner/driver, but am here asking about a friend's Toyota. She loves her little '94 Toyota Pickup (140,000 miles, automatic transmission) and something isn't right and I'm not buying what the mechanic is telling her. Truck was running...
