My 95 Toyota pick up with 22R engine temperature guage has been messing around. It sometimes loses all signal to it so the needle just drops but only when the engine is hot and then sometimes it will behave normally for weeks? I have cleaned the connector, but I am think it is the sending unit...

I want to switch to synthetic differential oil on my Toyota pick up but a mechanic I spoke to said I should drain the mineral oil and then top it say half up with synthetic drive it around the block and then drain it to get all the mineral oil out and refill with synthetic. Is this necessary...

I checked the oil level of my manual transmission after the mechanics had changed my clutch and I noticed the oil is red. Red is usually ATF right? How serious is this should I take it back and get them to change it or is it okay to drive like this?

My 2002 Toyota pick up's clutch(194400km) started to make a rattling sort of noise a few weeks ago when the clutch is engaged(foot off pedal) at idling and low rpm (below 2000rpm). It seems to be getting worse and can be heard while driving at slow speeds below 2000rpm. The clutch works fine, I...

My Toyota pick up's charge indicator started flickering on and off with the ignition on engine not running yesterday, now it doesn't come at all. The alternator is charging however I get 14.5V with my multi meter when the engine is running. Is it the bulb or a bad connection?

My 95 Toyota pick up has a Nippon Denso 10P15E compressor the shaft seal went a year ago and I had a new seal fitted but it has blown again. I can get a new compressor from an on line supplier here in South Africa but it is a 10P15C,from the pics it looks identical. Does anyone know if there is...

My 2002 Toyota 3RZ-FE engine pickup(190000km), started stalling occasionally on cold starts(sometimes hot as well but mostly cold) last year. The engine starts up but stalls immediatley but then will start and run fine on the second attempt. There does seem to be a bit of a rough idle when cold...

After how many years is it time to replace coolant hoses?

Can an injector test okay(off the car) but still be playing up? I have a misfire issue with my Toyota pick up(3RZ-FE engine), I managed to get it to the mechanics when it was misfiring. It seems to do it if the truck is switched off when hot and then restarted 15 to 30min later.Any way it was...

My Toyota pick up with 3RZ-FE engine developed an intermittent misfire(mostly under load) on Friday.I had a fuel pump failure 18 months ago, so I was worried the new pump might be on its way out? A few weeks ago I had a dead cell in the battery and when jump starting it, it would start and then...

I purchased a 1984 Honda ATC200ES from a friend. It has been a farm bike all its life and is in a bad way. It has a leak on the high/low/reverse gearbox,there wasn't much oil in the sump so I hope they weren't running it without oil. I couldn't get it started(it seemed to be flooding), so...

2 years ago I had problems with my 95 Toyota pickup(22R engine) I was traveling long distance.I had been driving +/-2hrs when I started to climb a mountain pass I noticed my water temp gauge moving up, it got to 3/4 and as soon as I started driving down hill it went back to its normal position.I...

Has any used Meguiars Engine Dressing, we can get it here in South Africa but it is expensive due to our weak exchange rate. I normally wash my engine bay and the spray silicone spray afterwards but I drive a fair amount of off dirt roads and dust sticks to everything so I was thinking of...

My 95 Toyota pick up(22R engine) starter doesn't engage first time I turn the key it just spins,second try it engages. It only does this in colder weather when the engine is cold, it fine when the engine is warm?

I changed to Toyota Pink a few months ago in my 95 Toyota pick up with 22R engine. I now have 2 very small leaks where the radiator hoses(new hoses)are clamped to the water pump housing and thermostat housing which are both aluminium alloy.The water pump one is worse, fitting was corroded and...

I found some info on some web sites about running a 180F(82C) thermostat in a 22R Toyota engine that can cure pinging problems especially in warmer climates.They say the stock thermostat is a 195F(90C). Also there was a tip of drilling a 1/8 inch hole in the disc part of the thermostat? My 22R...

My Toyota pick up with 22R engine has done 225000km and still has its original timing chain. I have always had timing chain noise on start up(cold starts only) for a few seconds, once oil pressure is up it goes away. I was reading this on Wikipedia and it got me worried: Toyota swapped the dual...

I had a shaft seal blow on my AC Compressor. I had leak detecting dye in the gas. It left horrible green stains on my white paint work on the underside of my bonnet. Nothing seems to get rid of the stains? Any ideas on how to remove the stains?
