I had this issue when I first got this car in Feb as well as misfiring. but it was fixed.....back then when I got it I changed the plugs and wires...i noticed that 2 of the spark plug wires were in the wrong place.....that was why it was misfiring...I corrected that and the stalling went away...

yes I think you would need an aligment.

looks like it...thanks guys

I was doing an oil change and found this in the bottom where all the old oil drained to...not sure if it came from the old filter as I had to tear it up to remove it

I got to it thanks...I had thought there was a hole in it but turns out it was just a loose hose.....but I want to ask, how do I turn the headlight washer more in towards the lights....right now 1 of sprayer just sprays straight up and not at the light?

where in the TSRM does it show how to remove this?

well I called around and could not find a place rebilud where I live...believe it or not. I did manage to drill out the broken bleeder plugs and tap back to the correct size just waiting to get the plugs now fromToyota

ok....this may be a stupid question but what it the bleeder plug...is it that little bolt thing on the caliper...if it is what if I broke it off? How do I bleed the fluid?

Well i didn't have to replace the first caliper and will be working on the second one later..hope that goes a little easier...after that I will start the back ones.

I finally figure it out with some help from my neighbour...the caliper where it swings up were seized...I had to remove the caliper and bang out the one part that holds the pads on the rotor and grease it up and put it back on...I had no idea that it was supoposed to move back and fourth.(I sure...

ok I got the piston back and putting the caliper over the pads I have to hammer it in...and the rotors will not spin by hand...is it possiable that the pads I were sold are too think?

it's getting the caliper over the pad...it does not even clear the pad to start to go back into place...I tried to hammer it back in but that just nicked up the outside of the pad....this is happening with both sides...question...Do I have to sqeeze in the top a bit with a clamp as well??

ok..I got the caliper off with a hammer, put in the new pads and now I can't get the caliper over the pads..it is hitting on the oustide pad and I can't pull it hard enough to get it to go back down...Is there a top bolt that holds that caliper in place as well as the bottom one???

I am trying to replace the front pads and I cant get the cylinder off....accoring to the TSRM I just remove the brake hose brackets and then the bolt for thr cylinder...that is it right....and then pull it off and replace the pads...so what am I doing wrong?

""One fix you could possibly do right now is replace the oil pan gasket with some RTV Black, it works much better"" what is RTV Balck?...how hard is it to replace the gasket?

well i have to move in 2 months and I don't have the time right now...but can I still drive the car and just keep topping off the oil...

well that is out of my scope of expertise...as you could probably tell from my post I am not all that mechanically inclined...looks like i will have to do some calling around for a mechanic..

putting it back on was not too bad at all...well know I know for next time

Well I finally got it off I could not get the extentions to work I used a 12mm stubby and that worked....thanks for the tips though.

a few thing I did not mention is that since the oil change I have only drove the card about 600km...and alot of time especially in the mornings when I start it up a huge puff of blue smoke comes from the exhaust
