Google "how to do a parasitic draw test." I'm sure you'll find more info, so you can better understand how to perform the test.

It's easier to replace the rack and pinion. The reason the PS pump whines, is because there isn't enough ATF in the system due to your leaky R&P. I would replace the R&P and get an alignment done.

Where in AZ are you located?

There was nothing derogatory here... Just two gear heads having a conversation over a shared interest. It's the same thing I do at the monthly cars and coffee and the biweekly vintage bike night in...

So I wrote a response to your post Tim, and I accidentally hit the back button on my phone and erased it all.

In a nut shell, your right. I see your point and my idea behind using the compression...

Sweet... Keep us posted.

If the OP performed a dry test and then a wet test and saw SIGNIFICANT improvement. I believe it would be reasonable to assume the piston rings are not forming a proper seal. Piston rings...

from what I know bad piston rings will will burn oil as long as the vehicle is on, so it will be constantly blowing blue smoke. Bad valve stem seals will burn oil on start up and at momentary idle...

In the radiator? Might wanna double check

Your .02 cents will cost this guy over 2k.... What's "burntboot" ???

I think your valve stem seals are bad... I could see how worn piston rings would cause oil consumption, but worn stem seals would also and are far more common issue on these vans.

Check the resistance on the temp sensor, before you think about changing it again. Is the check engine light code for the temp sensor?

also check for a vac leak.

It may be as simple as a vacuum leak. Since or vans have an idle speed control valve which bypasses our throttle body during warm up. A vac leak in conjunction with an open isc valve can allow an...

Let me know if the motor mounts fix the problem. I also have a slight vibration in reverse, but I haven't given it much thought.

Does it have any rust issues?

Thanks Tim! I may have figured out a way to get all the ATF out. While draining my tranny I accidentally stripped the drain plug. So I left it off while I ran to the dealer for a replacement. A day...

Does anyone know how many quarts of ATF go in the 4speeds?

Just about every vehicle with the exception of trucks require you to drop the tank in order to get to the fuel pump. The four bolts I mentioned hold the tank in place. There are two for the tank...

It's really not that bad... My cargo had 4 bolts which needed to be removed, 2 electrical plugs one for the float and the other for the fuel pump, disconnect the return line, remove the filler hose,...

check your charge fuse on the the fuse block... i think its a 15A or 10A fuse or 7.5A Im not 100% on the amperes, but find it and make sure its not blown.

according to some members the 84-85 is different from the doors forward... but im not 100%. I recently acquired an 84 for possible parts and I plan on figuring out what fits and what doesnt.

Being the 3Y-E has no igniter... How does the ignition system work in a 3Y-E? Are they points? Thanks Gwen!

Cool, thank you! When I get around to doing it maybe I'll do a write up.

They look fairly identical. Can you get your hands on a 86-89 bezels?

So I understand our vans can be categorized into to two different generations based on engine displacement and some small component differences. I would like to know which parts are interchangeable,...

So I've come across an le van cluster with a tac... My cargo has no tac and was planning on installing an aftermarket gauge. But I'd think it be cleaner to install an le cluster with the tac. Before...

I recently had a similar issue. I wasn't able to find replacement vac hoses for the ISCV circuit, so I installed the old ones and they created vac leaks. I then bypassed the ISCV and the van idles...

Checked for vacuum leaks? Ohm out your o2 sensor, thermostat sensor, and air valve.

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? How's your temp sensor? The o2 sensors is fairly important, and I'm sure replacing it made a large difference. You have to make sure you set the tps correctly. Tim...

Coat hanger $0.05 ... Dry cleaning part #527-94659

Is it leaking around the bell housing? May be the hose of deadly death!

Use a coat hanger

Did you replace the o2 sensor? How's the AFM? Also check your EFI relay and the Circuit Opening Relay... I don't think the relays are bad, but maybe loose.

Thanks Gwen!

Oh crap I broke my BVSV... Are replacements still made? This is a great thread btw!

Great job Tim... It looks awesome.

Check your EFI fuse. It's a 15A fuse. Underneath the dash.

Are you referring to the EFI main relay? If so it should be behind the radio. It's a rounded relay.

Sounds like heat soak.

The pcv isn't attached other than being held in place by the rubber grommet. If the grommet has hardened you will probably have to replace it, because it will most likely begin to fall apart as you...

:wrthy::wrthy:

What color is the pcv? Toyota sells the pcv and rubber grommet for less than 15.00 ... I recently replaced my pcv and it fell apart as I was removing it. I believe it was aftermarket (the color was...

Lol .... Perhaps

Tim what's your secret on removing the old paper gasket? Your upper intake looks great.

Thanks Tim... Where I live freezing weather is no concern.

I think it did drip when I removed the upper intake. I'm thinking its the pcv valve. The compression test didn't improve much with the oil. An avg of 7psi. It has 190k. I drained the oil and it has...

I just replaced the hose of death... Can anyone explain to me what part of the cooling system the HofD is responsible for? I noted its path of travel obviously starts in the rear of the engine block...

If you look over the schematic there is a set of resistors before the injectors... So I would assume 12vdc isn't the right amount... But I'm still not sure what is, and in short burst they can't do...

Tim what is the voltage that needs to be applied to activate a fuel injector?
