Intermittent electrical problem 1992 toyota trueno/levin AE101

Last night as I was driving my car home, I noticed the overheating/O2 sensor light came on, then I noticed that the check_tail_light and battery lights had also come on and started the swear to myself, As I pulled over to check they all went out... confused I took off again and hey presto they came back on again... I did this several time until i isolated that they were comeing on at about 1550 rpm in first and would go out at the same revs. I then thought screw can't be bothered with this then ignored them and carried on driving home - but after about 10k's the battery voltage indicator started to creep up and I had to turn on all my peripheral electronics to try and keep it under 18V...
This is my first car and having owned and worked on motorbike most of my life I am assuming that they are similar, I going to get it load tested this afternoon but and other advice would be hugely appreciated
also - where would I find the regulator/rectifier on a car and do they even have one??

Thanks Heaps

2009 toyota venza air conditioning blows room temp air

If it works sometimes but not others, the most common faults are overheating components (AC clutch, control relays, ) pressure problems (high or low pressure or sensors reading too high or low after they are on for awhile), or defective blend door or temp control system.

AC isnt complicated. It really hasnt changed much at all in 20 years, and didnt change for 50 years before that aside from what refrigerant is put in. the theory hasnt changed. If you mechanic was checking condensers for leaks, and didnt find them, Id suggest someone more skilled at AC work. Condensers are NEVER EVER intermittent problems. They leak, or they plug solid. Neither condition comes and goes. Your problem is in system pressures, or electrical control, or clutch. Period.

I have a toyota trueno 1992 and i want to put a new stereo in it

Go to the auto parts store and get a wire adaptor made for a 1992 trueno. It will plug into your factory harness. The wire colors are prematched to your sony and other aftermarket stereos. Just match the wire colors, splice with connectors making sure no wires are exposed. (A little electrical tape for good measure around splices helps). Then it just plugs in. If your factory stereo has mounts that screw onto the radio, unscrew them and attach them to the sony. Remove sleeve from radio and discard. The screw holes are already on the sony.

I have a 1992 dodge Dakota 5.2 4x4 auto. my trouble is that cruising at highway speeds no load i am getting a very noticeable miss, under deceleration and acceleration everything seems good.i have changed...

restricted injector? the input screens plug on these seeing how they have no fuel return line, the debris builds up in the end of the fuel rail towards the radiator, my 95 3.9 does this every few years. and a bad or weak crank sensor too. how many miles? burnt exhaust valve or O2 sensor stuck lean? any codes? if its load sensitive than can also be a vacume leak or a bad map sensor, which reads load from engine vacume... let me know, i know the operating system like he back of my hand and ill try to help further

1992 honda accord running very rough and check engine light came

If the car runs fine until it warms up, then the check engine light goes on and it all goes to hell (sputtering, dying, etc...) then it is most likely the o2 sensor. Take it to autozone and have them put it on the scanner, just be sure to bring it when the check engine light is ON.

Check engine light and strong fuel smell when stopped with heat on.

Hi Shawn,

It sounds like it might be the oxygen sensor failing on your car. If it *is* the O2 sensor, it's not that expensive, from $50 to $200 and may be something you can replace yourself. But it's very unusual to have an O2 sensor fail so early. They typically last 60,000 miles or more.

At any rate, you really should get it checked soon. Running with a very rich fuel mixture will cause the catalytic converter of your exhaust system to overheat and cost many hundreds of dollars in additional repairs. It can also cause a grass fire if you park over dry grass with your overheated catalytic converter.

The first thing a mechanic will do is hook up a code scan tool to a connector in the car. This tool will show the error code that your engine's computer is complaining about. That code will probably point to the O2 sensor or something like that.

I hope that helps.

-Vince
