I would check to see if you have the spec tran fluid in trans or change fluid and make sure it is the spec fluid some times when a wrong fluid is used the trans will not shift good when cold

Try speaking in full sentances. If your question is how do I change the fuel filter i have an answer. It will be under the car along the inside of the frame on the drivers side. comes off with a "quick connect" tool or two clips ......easy as pie

drive straight to auto parts store ,they will check it for free.if theywont go to another.

Sounds, by what i can kinda understand from your text, is that you might have an o-ring that went bad, i would check all o-rings, injector connections.

no your problem is definately the dizzie cap, as i found out to my cost on a lansia beta. any kind of crack in ur dizzie will cause probs. best way to find out is park your car in the dark open bonnet with engine running then get a mist spray with water in it spray at dizzie and you will see a slight yellow arc around the crack! any crack in bakelite distributors leads to loss of one or more banks

who told you it was a horn pin, if it is ? it is located in the steering wheel pad, you have constant power coming from the relay, which is then earthed to the column when you press the horn, it could also be the relay or the horn itself, tests will need to be carried out

do you have injector pulse? if not then it is probally the crank sensor

you are not missing anything
so common, but most common with aftermarket seals
I've seen this on every make and model

assuming the leak is from the engine seal I do not see any modified part numbers yet

however, Toyota finally has a modified part for the transfer case, covered under TSB #022

if you give having to replace the starter did you put in a shimmy with the starter?? if not that will make it keep going out and not work right.

can you tell me what this is in regards to what on the vehicle?

had a similar problem with with my 4runner.replaced most of the fuel and ignition systems with no luck.finally traced the problem to a bad connection between the main relay and the fuel pump.there's a wire harness connection between the back of the gas tank and rear axle.I just replaced it with a solid run from the fuel pump and the relay.haven't had any problems since.

test for power at the pump, it souds like a bad fuelpump to me. have someone turn the key while you check for power at the pump if theres power then the pump is bad, also make sure it has a good ground.

most likely cause is the pick up in the tank on the sensor unit take it out and check the connecting pipe from the pump to the outlet

Yes it has a Cable! Does the odometer work? If so the problem is in the Speedometer head. If not you should soon be getting a check engine light on with a code that indicates a Vehicle speed sensor problem (VSS). The you should look to a broken cable.

Make sure the coolant temp. sensor is connected.

Bad coolant temp. sensor?

Coolant temp. sensor is ground out on the engine block?

========
The ECU use the resistor value from the coolant temp. senor to determine the block temp.

If the value is out of range.....the ECU will "think" the motor is still cold and let it ran at high idle.

I will use a carburetor cleaner to clean out the throttle plate and intake.

I have a 1989 toyota truck, and it's located under the hood. It's an emmisions sticker with the vacuum routing on it.
