Wheel noise?
Lots of great advice here.
I would only add that the only correct place to have a crimp style butt connector, is in your emergency kit.
They are notorious for causing issues.
Regardless of...
Those wires look a lot happier now and while it didn't solve your issue, at least you have eliminated one variable.
I forgot to ask previously, have you checked for stored codes?
That would...
And given that it tries to run, it sounds like spark isnt the problem, stay with the fuel system until you can rule it out.
Good news that its clean inside.
Those wires need to be fixed properly before you put the tank back in (solder and shrink).
I would also recommend slowing down a bit, the more things you disturb...
Welcome to the party.
I dont know anything about 1st Gen's but as no one has responded yet ...
It should be easy enough to check for spark, once it dies pull #1 spark plug wire, install a known...
A 42V reading from a 12V system would indicate either a problem with the meter or the way it is being used.
Grab yourself a fresh coffee (maybe a whole pot), enter "christmas lights" in the search field and settle in for a couple of hours of fun reading.
LD - You need to diagnose the circuit.
A test light and VOM would be beneficial in your task.
And have you inspected the air intake bellows?
Post #1, pic #5
Tim came up with a method for testing.
I think this is the thread
The Fan Clutch (clutch fan / fluid coupling) Thread
Rock auto, from your link, they're under "Daily driver"
"Complete Arm w/ Ball Joint; Steel
Hey Tim, what are your thoughts on those Turkish 4WD uppers?
They look beefy compared to the Febest, but not sure if thats an upgrade?
(added unsprung weight, added shipping costs...)
If the starter is shorted internally, it would show as having continuity between the positive connection and the housing, same for the solenoid.
If not shorted, I would remove it and bench test it,...
As I am working from memory and also suffer from CRS, take everything with a grain of salt
I dont believe I have ever met a starter that had anything other than 12v from battery positive on the...
No idea on "under chamber" if I were the guessing sort, I might head to the intake plenum, to the bundle of wires that connect to ground there.
My manual seems indicates that "b" (located on wiper...
Any time a modification is made from factory, it adds an element of mystery and makes diagnosis more difficult.
I realize that doesn't help your situation but might explain the lack of responses.
...
I reached out when this went live, buddy said he was accepting cash offers, I asked for more details and only got crickets.
YMMV
Tim did a huge write up on the whole affair, complete with pictures and part numbers
Shouldn't be too hard to find if you look around a little bit
(There is a thread on how to use the search...
When the the piston stops moving up, it is at the top of its stroke and the notch in the pulley should be at Zero on the timing cover
If you have rotation of the crankshaft without piston movement,...
Try this
Thread: Timing issue?? That's my guess....
When the piston reaches the top of the stroke, the timing mark on the pulley should align with the ZERO mark on the timing cover and the...
Is it running well?
Do you have the jumper wire installed?
When you set it to TDC, did you verify the zero mark lines up with the slot on the pulley?
In addition to what MarkH has highlighted, you may want to have a read thru this thread and confirm the tests that Tim suggests
Thread: fire but no fuel (been sitting for years)
And why could you not access the air filter?
Its a Pita agreed, but it must be inspected.
If an engine can't breath, it cant run and given that it was in long term hibernation, anything is...
First off the diagnostic system in the van does not function the way you hoped.
Its more Stone tablet than iPhone X
Having codes with no MIL is condition normal and why we always tell everyone to...
One of the reasons the search function is a little clunky is sometimes people make multiple threads, all on the same subject.
I am having a little trouble following you trajectory as to whats been...
Perhaps its time to review the "basic van knowledge" sticky at the top of this forum page.
See post #2 and #3
Icky - This topic has been covered in detail, beaten to death, then shot and has even been brought back to life, a few times.
Please use the search function, read the threads that exist and if you...
Did the fuel light stay on before doing all this work?
Most times, new problems that occur right after a repair are usually self inflicted.
You need to go back over everything you did and make sure...
These never existed in our market so without access to a manual, it's all just guess work.
FI runs on ~ 40 psi, pump is in the tank, filter is near engine (NA spec=starboard side, aft the front...
We need to back up the bus here.
We can imagine all sorts of issues that may be contributing but as you know HOW to create the problem, diagnosis should be easy.
Get it running and then shut it...
Considering they are plastic they are probably not serviceable, some of the older metal ones were, to a degree.
Finding out how you're canisters are supposed to operate, would be key, before...
We only got FI versions and yes a fuel damper is part of that parcel.
Being carbed all bets are off, fuel rarely leaks in a dripping sort of way, put another way, if you can see fuel leaking, you...
Yes, 8 degrees should be close enough for it to run decent.
Fuel leaks, especially on hot engines always end badly, its just a matter of time.
More than one van has been lost to an engine fire
Fuel damper is the #1 suspect but it can be other things just...
That is not a pretty picture
Can't tell from the pic if its just shiny or actually grooved.
You can try cleaning it up, using something along the lines of 4000 wet with a touch of dish soap to...
Personally, I would buy a new Toyota part and install it
Then I would look at the old one and see if it can be cleaned up for the spares pile
For me PCV valves have been a lot like thermostats,...
I would get it running and up to temperature, then shut it down and turn the mixture screw out 1.5 turns and start it back up and note the idle speed.
Its likely to be somewhere between 1.5 - 2.5...
It would seem I failed to explain the hand over the carb bit, lets try that again.
You are not looking to cut out all the air, your aim is to seriously reduce the air coming in and then monitor...
That seal is important but not critical to running.
Its whole purpose is to keep dirt out, your issues are below that point.
And the 4th pic shows the choke (currently fully open) and the secondary.
When you opened the throttle, and the "2nd" flap opened, that was the mechanical linkage forcing it to open as designed...
So 5th pic of the air duct attached, is the black stuff sealant or a breach in the seal?
That does appear to be the idle mixture screw, location is correct, I have seen dummy plastic heads...
For vacuum leaks its always a visual inspection first, it could be as simple as a hose off somewhere or it could be as difficult as the carb body leaking.
So start with a visual, if that yields no...
Soapy water would be a very bad idea, we generally prefer to keep water out of the combustion process.
1st things first, if the engine is still running with the mixture screw snug that is your...
Replacing the fuel filter is a capital idea but has no impact on the issues you are having.
A compromised filter is going to restrict fuel flow all the time, they do not cause intermittent problems....
Tires are really quite easy to figure out, nothing confusing AT ALL
They will physically fit but, you may not like the change
The "185" refers to the width of the tire body (as opposed to the...
The other option is to hit a pick and pull and get some for another vehicle.
All Toyota's from that era, should use the same bolts.
The one circled in Red is what you need to disconnect, not the sender for the gauge.
Best to use the search function for this one, there is a thread and it will have all the correct info and procedures in it.
The motor doesn't have to come out but may need to be be lifted some.
