I inherited a 1992 Toyota pickup, 2WD, 2.4L 22RE engine a few years back. It had Guardsman by Radar tires from Sears on it which have now got considerable dry rot on them and need to be replaced. It is driven very little, but is handy to have around. It seems there are fewer options available...

I found the following article while researching the EVAP codes (P0441 & p0455) issue with my daughter's 2007 Corolla: "Tech Tip: Toyota Key Off Evap Diagnosis" https://www.underhoodservice.com/tech-tip-toyota-key-off-evap-diagnosis/ So after performing steps outlined in the article in...

I stand corrected. I took another look at the jug and the print was not THAT much smaller and it WAS in contrasting color, right there in front, not just a footnote at the bottom as my orignal post implied. My fault, not Walmart's; I just plain screwed up and did not pay close attention. I...

Flushed the cooling system of my 1992 Toyota pickup yesterday. After draining coolant of unknown type, I refilled with distilled water, cranked and let it run with heater on high until temp on guage came up and heater was blowing hot, let it cool and drained. I repeated refill/run/drain process...

Hey Trav: How do I go about checking the filler neck? is there a way to test it? I removed the shroud/liner from the wheel well and eyeballed it in place. I didn't see any gaping holes or massive amounts of rust. I felt what I could reach, but did not cover every square centimeter - there were...

No, I do not posess a smoke machine. An old boss and friend once had a shop - he may have one, but not sure. I've seen a couple on amazon in the $95-$150 range. Local Toyota dealer quoted me $120 to do a smoke test. Indie Mechanic i've used some said $100/hr, probably be about $200. Trying to...

Original purge solenoid/valve was a Denso 90080-A2001. replaced it with an Intermotor CP789 from Advance autoparts.Original valve turned out to be ok, but since I had purchased a new one went ahead and installed it.

Recently purchased a 2007 Corolla S with 212,000 miles to replace a 2005 Corolla S which was totaled by a drunken driver while parked on the street. Car appeared in good shape, tight and quiet on test drive with good pickup, ran and idled well etc. Shortly after purchase CEL came on. Pulled...

Anybody know the shelf life for unopened (foil seal intact) Toyota red coolant? I've got a jug that's about 4 years old and wondering whether to use or toss it.

I'm looking to replace the original equipment distributor on my 1990 Camry DX with a new one - old one is leaking oil through the shaft - bad internal seal. I'm aware of the kbox rebuild kit, but don't want to deal with trying to remove the pressed-in pin that holds the key to the shaft, so...

I started having problems with it today. Hadn't been on in awhile, had to log-in when I first got here, chose remember me on next visit. I went about 4-5 pages thru the 20 pages of active topics past 24hrs & on trying to go to the next page got "you are not logged in". Has happened multiple...

Neat article. I wonder why the skin on the wings and fuselage is intact, while it is missing from the rudder & elevators?

I now know why my rear window defroster quit working. I was getting something out of the back of the car the other day and noticed that the wire going to the heating element grid on the glass was hanging in mid air, no longer connected to the grid. My initial thought was to use some super...

Thanks OceanDoctor, I'll see about ordering a replacement lockup solenoid. It's not really any of my business, but I am curious. Did you have a Toyota with an A140E that had this problem, or do you work on Toyotas? Again, thanks very much. It was my hope when I posted about the problem, that I...

...and yes, before it stalls, it does return to a smooth, normal in-gear idle.

Hi OceanDoctor: Sorry for the late response, I haven't been online for a few days. Your recap is correct. When slowing to a stop, car will buck and shake like it hasn't been downshifted and/or clutch has not been disengaged, like it has been left in too high a gear at too low of a speed. It...

All that story and I forgot to list the mileage, sorry, it has 272,000 miles on it. Engine and trans are original.
