The switch on the dash is just the cruise master On / Off. After you turn on the master, turn the cruise knob on the end of the wiper stalk down (it says Acc, maybe the printing on your knob is worn...

Sychronizers in the transmission are the parts that let you make a nice smooth shift between gears without having to match the input RPM to the output RPM. Internal to the transmission, not related...
Hey there- quick edit to my earlier post: "If it starts and idles in neutral" should read "If it starts and idles in gear [with the clutch pedal depressed]". Sorry about that.
That's actually a decent amount of travel.
Try this: set the parking brake or if it doesn't work well, hold the brake firmly with your right foot, put it in first with engine off, push the clutch...

Can you get it in any gear with the engine off?
brentlehr- you have an Auto mode on your fan speed selector?
I have an '86 and this is in my owner's manual, as well, don't think I've ever actually seen it in the wild.
Randy, what happens if you just hold the throttle at about 1/4 and crank it? Your friend is right that pumping in between starting attempts shouldn't do anything except maybe it's affecting a failed...
I recently re-bushed the control arms on the front of my van and just decided to order these from Amazon:

I have to say- everyone has their opinions about things like non-OEM thermostats, non-OEM gaskets, etc., but the fan clutch is one thing where I think it's easy to see the difference in quality. When...
An hour and a couple Coronas and a plate of nachos later, it's done. Of course, taking a step back and getting some nutrients (and liquid confidence) made things click.
I finally found in my stash...
So here's a little question, and I think I know the answer, but I thought I'd post if for no other reason than to commiserate with folks that have been in a similar boat. I set out a few days ago to...
Well the broken part looks to be the four bolts holding the driveshaft universal joint flange to the differential flange. I'd wager that you had some work done recently, eh? Either the bolts weren't...
Totally missed the part about it being intermittent- good luck!
Aside from what Tim said, two things jump to mind for me: timing and exhaust restriction. I'd put a timing light on it to ensure that the base timing is correct and that it's advancing with throttle....
Greetings fellow Snowpocalypse 2.0 survivor. My van is parked in what is now down to 6 inches of snow in front of my house.
If you have no blower action, first thing you have to do is check /...
When you turn the key all the way to start, do your dash lights and other cabin power (radio, etc) blank out (that is, go off)? If they do, that would be at least one indicator that the ignition...
If you find yourself with the top of a motor off, I really need an idle air motor (the big one on the under side of the intake plenum).
Let me know, and good choice of company rig!

As Tim mentioned- why not just loosen / remove the fan shroud bolts? :cnfsd:
Aha! Great, thanks!
Thanks for getting back to me. That's a good point about it being shorter overall. I was just mainly concerned with a 205 fitting on the stock Toyota rim but it sounds like it will be okay. How wide...
I realize this has probably been hashed out before but search results were vague:
Any chance in hades that I can squeeze a 205/70 tire on to my stock Yota van 14" steelies? Got 195/75 on there...
I have considered this very problem- hot glue sounds great and isn't something I had thought to use. I was thinking it sounded like a job for Gorilla Glue.
Cool, thanks for the info.
Thanks for the reply. Was browsing their parts locator site the other night but couldn't find a listing for head bolts. That part number did the trick.
Are the 4Y head bolts torque to yield (i.e....
Anyone know a source for new head bolts or -better yet- studs for the beloved 4Y? :cnfsd:
'86 Van, 5 speed, front and rear AC. ~230k miles.
I've had this van for a few months. Drove it only around town for a few weeks at first, all was well. Took it out on the freeway for the first...
Well- the van has manual windows and no power locks, but I'm fairly certain that the doors haven't been swapped. I don't know, anything's possible, but the interior trim panels are the same, the...
Hi all,
I'm Josh, I have an '86 2wd TV that was given to me after I brought it back to life. It's running pretty doggone well right now with the exception of some cold start issues that I'm going...
