    Re: Washer issues

    I'm referring to the "Washer change valve," which I understand to be the thing that the relay sits on top of, visible at the top of that same picture you referenced. I didn't realize there was also a...

    Re: Washer issues

    My washer change valve still seems to be working, but while I have everything out to replace the rear pump, I think I'm going to replace it with something like this...mostly because I want to see if...
  3. Re: Won't idle when cold / auxiliary air valve / idle air control valve

    Re: Blown Head Gasket?...OR is it?

    I just replaced my head gasket, and though I'm not overheating and the mechanic didn't sniff HCs, I still seem to have not-normal coolant behavior (not getting sucked back out of the overflow tank,...
  6. Re: Click-No-Start (Starter, Ignition Switch and other Culprits)

    I have no experience with starter issues, but your comment makes me wonder if you don't know how to remove the passenger side access panel? If not, search the forum - it's easy, and greatly improves...
  7. Re: Other parts to replace while replacing Head Gasket

    Have you read this thread in full?

    Re: Replace Coolant Overflow Hose

    I'll give a dissenting opinion here - I just replaced most of the coolant hoses on my van (including the hoses of death), and on the recommendation of another member here I used Gates #28408 5/16" ID...

    Re: coolant leak near throttle body

    Thanks for the ideas. It occurs to me that I could pinch the air hose that comes out of the air valve and see whether the steam diminishes - seems like that would be fairly diagnostic of a leak...

    Re: A few tricks for removing broken exhaust studs

    Tim, thanks for all the info!



    I omitted a critical detail: the TB gasket (Toyota part #22271-73011), is now NLA. I am going to proceed with the felpro gasket paper, unless anyone can point me...

    Ah excellent, I didn't notice those when I took the exhaust off. Thanks!
  15. Re: Other parts to replace while replacing Head Gasket

    Can anyone shed some light on what these rings are (pic attached)? Six of them came with my Toyota head gasket kit (04112-73035), and I have no idea what they are for :cnfsd:

    Re: 4x4 Rear Center Caps- Is this what is used?

    Does anyone have a bead on where to get these currently, or have one/a set they want to sell me? I just hit a deer, and obliterated the right rear cap on my '87 4wd.

    All things considered, could...
