Even though i had no signs of head gasket leakage, i finally went ahead and changed it out. That was the problem. Hot gases from combustion were crossing into the coolant, super heating and...

Update: it wasnt the head gasket. I tested it and no products of combustion in my coolant. I borrowed a pressure tester and found a pin hole in the hose from the heater core. As the engine heated it...

Im pretty sure its going to be a head gasket replacement. Any one have suggestions on a manufacturer? Oem is ridiculously more expensive. I can get a felpro gasket set for about $50 but the oem...

The coolant does look foggy...there are also little white deposits. What would that be though? I do have a new cap and flushed with vinegar awhile ago.tried to upload a picture but couldnt. If its...

Think it could be air in the system causing the issue?

I am having the same issue. Van runs fine for awhile then the heater in the front stops blowing hot and the van overheats. I have replaced the water pump, new belt with correct tension, replaced and...

Ive had a similar problem recently. It usually cranks just fine but sometimes i get the single clunk. I tried a few different things an it seems like a bad connection to my starter. When it happens i...

I checked compression in all 4 cylinders and 3 were right around 180 psi but #1 was way down...i got a reading of 60 and double checked it. it was higher (around 120) when the engine was cold. I...

Well, replaced fuel pump, fuel sender, filter, pulsation damper, fuel pressure regulator, got refurbed injectors and cold start tested and cleaned, cleaned out the tank and high pressure lines....

So, I replaced a multitude of parts and put everything back together and then checked the ECU code and I'm getting 5-1. Which, in an 89 van is:

Diagnosis = No "IDL" signal, "NSW" signal or "A/C"...

Next issue. Its kind of a small thing but its turning out to being the only thing preventing me from putting my whole motor back together. The insulator that goes in before the injectors, there is an...

ok, thanks. i'm pretty sure the problem came from the van sitting for so long. Ive basically replaced or cleaned out the whole fuel system. Last part is the line running from the tank to the filter....

Since my injectors and fuel tank were pretty nasty, i am also trying to clean out my fuel lines. There are two lines leading from the fuel pump. One has a section of rubber hose attached to the metal...

If you still have these vans, I need:

sliding door handle

rear passenger side tail light/turn signal cover/housing

I received my injectors in the mail yesterday. As it turns out 3 out of 4 of mine had issues. One was stuck open (which explains all the fuel in my manifold). One had an electrical terminal issue. I...

I cleaned and repaired my old one and it seems to work fine. I occluded the two ports, blew air into the single port and it came out of the bottom. That's the test the manual says will show if it is...

I realize this is an old thread but you stated you purchased a new egr modulator. Do you happen to know where you got it and the make/part number? The aftermarket ones specifically for a toyota van...

I just removed the injectors and I dont understand how the van was running at all. They are in terrible condition. I contacted the injector doctor and sent them off in the mail today, along with the...

I was hoping that is all it is. I just didnt want to reassemble everything and have left a major issue unfixed. I plan to replace the injectors anyway.

I finally managed to get the intake manifold off and found that one of the ports (the left one) has standing fuel in it. Why would this happen? and what would I have to do to repair the problem. I...

Hey, im currently working on the same issue. I just got the intake manifold off and have yet to take the injectors/rail out. Each one seems to be pricey so I plan on testing them and hopefully...

Also, does anyone know of an EGR valve replacement that doesnt cost almost a hundred bucks? I have found a lot of them that look just like the one on my van but my van isnt listed as a compatible...

The engine cranks. The starter works properly. The issue is that the engine wont run. It is either a fuel issue or a simple electrical issue. I have accessed the ECU but havent tested anything with...

I recently bought a 1989 Toyota Van and im trying to restore it to road trip worthy condition. When I bought it, it had obviously sat idle for a number of years. It cranked and I test drove it to the...
