And the wastegate actuator on the A340E car is the same as the R154. The lower boost reading is from the lower load of the automatic trans and its slippage in the torque converter.

Cat back only in California. Technically, all downpipes are 50 state illegal. Lack of enforcement of the visual standard lets people get away with it.

If it bounces all the time, it is usually the cable. If it bounces at low speed only, it is usually the speedo. There is a wound up clock spring that pulls against a magnetic drum. Old age and a lot of tension make the spring softer(weaker).

The factory repair manual and electrical wiring diagram.

No. A shock is really a damper, not a shock absorber. It controls spring oscillation. Stiffer shocks, less body roll. Softer shocks, more body roll against the spring.

At least I know I am not the only person running a stock radiator, shroud, fan clutch, and alternator and never have an issue with A/C or charging, even when it is 100 degrees.

The engine doesn't have any lifters.

It is.

You read what I wrote backwards, or I didn't write it good enough. You could have one that needed a recall, and it wasn't replaced.

His symptom is not typical of off a tooth, and he said it was good.

"Rod knock" is a very generic term. Most mean a spun or damaged bearing. If it knocks when you start, and goes away with some engine speed, it is the bearings. It goes away because you have some oil on it. It could be the head itself, with the same condition.

Maybe he has an origianl TXV, and not one of the recalled units.

Not really. A torque converter mulitplies engine torque. A manual trans does not. The converter has a built in stall speed from the design, but it also reacts to the input torque. The more torque it is fed, the more the you get out of it. A properly built auto will whip a manual with the same...

Or an intake leak.

You will be able to hear a strange liquid sound. Not rushing liquid sound, but a....blop blop of the crank in the oil. So your answer is a lot.

I confess to assuming what he meant when I agreed. ---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ---------- Where are you?

The 3.4 V6 had two clutches (maybe more). The Tundra, and the Tacoma with the 5000 lb tow package, instead of the 3500 lb standard tow package. The3500 lb tow package was orange, the 5000 lb tow was green. Remember, that was more than half a decade ago, and color should not be the choice maker.

And they don't look like Ford Probes.

How about $500? I doubt you live that far from civilization.

Toyota claims 2500 if you put your foot on the floor with the brakes applied. Mine won't. It will crawl over 2000 and slowly rise after the flash. I always get off the throttle after it reaches the stall. I don't have a large cooler installed yet. Shame on me.
