The CPS is also original that I "rebuilt" about 12 years ago when I installed a new bearing and higher temp seal on the shaft. And at that time I set the gaps to spec. And it's worked ever since. That was probably about 80 or 90k miles ago. I have no oil leaking from the CPS cover, but I have...

One thing to mention, I did replace timing belt just last month, but had no issues with that, and it's been running fine since, and it was not my first timing belt on this car, so I've done it before.

Yesterday I noticed a slight stumble when engine started several times during the day. I figured just an anomaly. Eventually at a start up, it did not start on first key turn. It would turn over but not start. I tried key again and it started. So I drove away about 500 feet to a stop light...

Hoping someone can help. See photos attached. Does anyone have some side mirrors off their car or stored somewhere and can measure using calipers the height of the mounting posts that have broken off on my mirror. Would have to be mirrors for a 89+ I'm going to attempt to rebuild these on mine...

I think that the issue you describe with the starter and sensor is on the earlier models. I've removed my starter many times with no issue. I think the older (round sensor) is a bit longer than the later models with the square sensor. Also, I've just learned that this later sensor and...

30 minutes after my first post above... Well. I have answered my own post here, and just found a very informative thread on supraforums, that directed me to the correct part. This connector can be found on a sub harness for the p/u and 4runner V6 knock sensor. The Toyota part number is...

The rear knock sensor wire broke off and the connector fell apart when I removed it from the sensor (the rear one near the starter). Has anyone found a source for a new connector (this would be for 89+, so the gray square type)? I've read several of the "Knock sensor rewire" threads that some...

cool. didn't know how rare the 92's were, I thought there were several thousand. guess not. I've got a black 202 auto w sunroof, so that means I have 1 of the 15. nice.

I am very happy this is back!!! I hope most of the info/thread have been saved and restored, but just happy to have this resource again.

No not the rack and pinion bellow. thought I was specific enough with the "end" part of my description, but I'm looking for the OUTER tie rod end. The rack and pinion bellow is for the inner tie rod.

I have a tie rod end dust boot that is cut. I want to replace just the dust boot. The joint is still good. I've replaced the boots on my MKII with an Energy Suspension boot for ~ $5 for 2 boots. It seems there are no aftermarket replacement dust boots for the MKIII. The ES dust boot for the...

Ok, well then that is it... thank you, I was not sure. Makes sense then, and I think that over time, the coolant has caused the GH to fail more at that location, now causing oil to leak. thank you

I have had a small coolant leak at the head gasket for about 7or 8 years. It just seeps out a now and then. I've marked the area that I know has been leaking coolant on the photo with the yellow line. I took the car in to the shop for what was thought to be a rear seal oil leak, but I am...

So, I pulled my fluidyne rad and what I found was all four corners are leaking, ...and no its not running down from the top to bottom...its all four corner areas and from how it's leaking probably can't be fixed I'm thinking...and even so, why spend money to fix and then install and likely fail...
