2002 Toyota Sienna. The door handle is fine but the cable that operates the rocker arm in the center of the door to unlatch it has broken off from that point of attachment/operation. The van is used as a bit of a utility van and so the right hand slider door is blocked by a low cabinet and is...

First off, pardon me if I use the wrong, non-applicable expressions. I'm trying to explain it the best I can to get my point across. My 2002 Sienna has pretty much been an outside car and I really have not been keeping up on the waxing as I should, therefore the paint is starting to look...

I just opened my little 5 oz container of Mother's mag polish that is about 60% full, and I see it sitting in this brownish oily liquid. Does that mean that it has gone bad or should I just mix it in and keep going? I've the jar for 6 months and as far as I know it was sealed tight and not in...

I have a 2002 Sienna with 231k on it. Like many cars when you turn off the engine and take the key out of the ignition there is a delay shutting down some of the electrical system that will allow you to adjust any windows you forgot to before turning the car off. Well all of a sudden today that...

I have a 2002 Toyota Sienna with 230,000 miles on it. Starter is giving up a ghost so I need a new one. Don't necessarily need a premium one since the car is older, but I would prefer not to invest in complete crap. With that in mind I was looking at the ValueCraft starter motor as sold through...

2002 Toyota Sienna 229,500 miles, California Cat smog setup. Been trying for 6 months to get the catalytic monitor to set. OBD Codes = 0. Non-related to emissions or anything else. Went online and found the official Toyota drive cycle patterns. One that I'm pretty sure is for my car and the...

For the longest time my 2002 Toyota Sienna, now with 225k on it, was holding steady at an oil consumption of ~13 .oz per thousand miles. Since this last oil change, about 2,000 miles ago, that has jumped up another 3 oz. It's smog test time again and I'm having the devil's own time having my...

I know they are both important in their own way, but between the upstream AF sensor and the downstream O2 sensor is one more important than the other in determining if your catalytic converter monitor will set or not? After 2 weeks of trying the two major drive cycle patterns for my 2002 Toyota...

So one of the running/brake lights in the tail hatch of my 2002 Sienna burnt out so obviously I had to get in there to replace it. A minor annoyance dealing with the trim as opposed to the more outer set of lights. Also for some time now the red of the red lens has been fading a little bit and...

So, as stated in my other threads, I have this 99 Honda Passport, or rather my Ex has it, with 195 on it so I plan on servicing the differential. What I'm wondering is if I should just do a drain and refill (apparently there's no drain plug. You have to suck it out with a tube through the fill...

My friend just acquired a "99 Honda Passport and I'm helping her do odds and ends on it to bring it up to snuff and one of the things I'm going to do is "service" the power steering fluid via the turkey baster method. On the cap to the power steering reservoir it says to only use power steering...

Okay. Continuing the saga from another post; My lady friend finally got a '99 Honda Passport, which I know to be basically the same car as the Isuzu Rodeo. Before running to a mechanic I will be helping her defray cost by performing some service myself. But I'm kind of surprised at something...

Time to replace the rotors on my 2002 Sienna. I already have the pads, Akebono, so I'm wondering if any of y'all had any particular problem with NAPA brake rotors. They have some in the $60 range I'm looking at. Yes. I know there are better more expensive ones, but I have to do the best I can...

Well I searched online, but since I trust you guys more than some other random sources out there... A older lady friend of mine is getting a used (obviously) 2003 Odyssey and I'm going to help her out with some basic service. One of which initially will be a drain and refill of the ATF. I have...

Hey gang. The internet is no help on this so I'm asking here. Does the 4-cylinder version of the u.s. model Toyota Highlander have a transmission dipstick? For the 6-cylinder version there is plenty of information on the internet and it should be easily visible as you on the right as you look...

So the driver's side window is going belly-up, for whatever reason, and a few months ago I sent off to RockAuto for supposedly the appropriate replacement regulator and motor assembly for my 2002 Sienna. When I got it and we got everything apart I then noticed that the connections were totally...

I have a 2002 Toyota Sienna with shot alternator bearings. Just starting to make sound and the mechanic verified with stethoscope. Being on disability I need to get the most bang for my buck when it comes to getting a replacement. So... Recommendations for online store or brand that will get me...

So, my car is a little older (signature) and I have an issue that does not seem obvious to me; When I or somebody goes to roll the passenger window down and hits the switch on that side, about 70% of the time it initially will not move. To get it moving I have to hit the switch on the driver's...

The motors to the rear vent windows on my 2002 Toyota Sienna have been hinky for some time now. Basically I just leave them open during the summer (we don't get a lot of rain in my area) and shut them when winter starts to come around. But this Arrangement is not always satisfactory for a number...

In late 2015 at 161,735 miles the idle air control valve on my 2002 Toyota Sienna was acting up. So I opted for the cleaning rather than replacement. That lasted for 4 years 9 months or 44,617 miles before it started acting up again this May. So in May of 2020, at 208,226 miles, I had a...
