Â¥5000 GET !! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,163 Member No.: 8,897 Joined: Jun 26th 2005 Location: Vancouver, Canada | For the head gasket, there is a recall available from Toyota for it. Check to see if it's been done in the past, and if not, you can get that done free of charge. But from the sound of it, it's not worth it.

Thank you all for the advice I think for now I am going to go out and buy a haynes manual and read it up till I have them practically memorized, and again it is not like I am going to be alone doing this I will have someone with plenty of experience standing by me.

no, if it's not greasy you're doing it right. it means you've understood it after looking at it before you started your job, and haven't had to use it during it. | ||

Just a guy towing a car across the country to chase a dream. Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 9,272 Member No.: 30,193 Joined: Jul 25th 2008 Location: Plymouth, MN | I've also used a white board to make notes of important things I may not remember, such as torque specs, fluid amounts (or number of bottle pumps to equate said amounts), and things I've taken off that may not be directly related to the job that will need to be reinstalled before starting the car. I've also thrown it on the work bench and circled groups of bolts by application. Handiest fucking thing I've ever had in the garage. |

If you have a photographic memory, maybe, I don't trust myself to memorize a 3 page long procedure word for word. Also when a repair is made that entails HOURS of dissasembly just to gain access I like to have absolute f**king ceritude I have followed the process to the best of my ability. The old mesure twice cut once rule. At the Mitsu dealer I worked at the factory manuals were fithy! 'Corse once the ASE certified factory trained techs start pouring through the books, your car is in trouble. I have only recently gotten intewebz access, and have found it to be a powerfull tool for wrenching, thanks internet!

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 46 Member No.: 35,308 Joined: Apr 7th 2010 Location: Drivers Seat | I plan to get each part I disassemble its own box and within the box even more boxes for small items, ie screws. I also plan to take PLENTY of photos and label each box with both the photo of the complete part and a sharpie marking that clearly states what part it is. |

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 46 Member No.: 35,308 Joined: Apr 7th 2010 Location: Drivers Seat | Eh, I don't really know if it is okay to revive this thread but, I went ahead and did the rebuild by myself and it is working now, however I noticed that my car won't stay on and so I asked for some help from my teacher and he looked at it and told me it was the throttle body. I tried calling all the dealers around me and I found nothing. So I decided to look for throttle body at Junkyards and I am wondering how can I tell if it's a good throttle body? |

333 Half Evil Group: Advanced Members Posts: 507 Member No.: 37,098 Joined: Mar 9th 2011 Location: The Twin Cities | Check for slop in the butterfly bearings, check for wear where the butterfly plate seals against the throught of the throttle body, any sticking or resistance of movement of the butterfly is a sign of a worn out/high mileage part. Also check for crud in any vacume ports or any where else, I assume you have access to a parts washer, use it Can't think of anything else right now, good luck and don't forget to shop around to get the best price, junk yards often are negotiable on price.

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 46 Member No.: 35,308 Joined: Apr 7th 2010 Location: Drivers Seat | So I took out the throttle body popped in a new one I got from the junkyard and my truck works fine. Here's the question though, why is my throttle body broken? I took a couple of pics. I'll put the link in the spoiler any help is much appreciated.

I dont know what your engine does for a source of idle control but on the newer nissan pathfinders they have no egr or idle controls. since it's drive by wire the throttle body keeps it's self open enough to make the engine idle around 600-700rpms Obviously this is computer controlled action. i would think the vacuum diaphragm there is very similar to the same thing but I'm not 100% sure. could also be the tps is gone/ out of whack as well. | ||||

Seems pretty relevant to me. Where is idle air let in? Through the throttle body. | ||

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 46 Member No.: 35,308 Joined: Apr 7th 2010 Location: Drivers Seat | Well either way thank you for the info. It at the very least taught me something, and hey they say you learn something new everyday. Yesterday I went ahead and researched some stuff online and I have a hunch it might be the sensor. I think that I will take the throttle body to a Toyota Dealer and see what they have to say, only if it's free or close to being free hahaha! Edit: BTW if a mod or the admin wants they can close this thread. I think my questions have been answered. This post has been edited by Insig on Aug 23 2012, 01:07 PM |

333 Half Evil Group: Advanced Members Posts: 507 Member No.: 37,098 Joined: Mar 9th 2011 Location: The Twin Cities | I can't view your pic. Good luck with the free thing, though! This vintage Toyota most likely uses an idle air passage for (obviously ) air at idle. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

Ah yes, quite right. Obviously a throttle body from a modern Nissan drive-by-wire vehicle is equivalent to a throttle body from a '93 Toyota pickup truck. Silly me, what was I thinking? Obviously his advice is perfectly sound, then! Holy crap, junior. Holy crap. | ||
