Hey, Guys: I'm new to this, as I moved to northern michigan, last year, and NOBODY drives or works on Toyotas!!!! Even my brother whines about my awesome truck. [who's truck does he prefer to drive? that'd be MINE]. Anyway, this past week I've run into a bit of a hassle. No brakes. Pedal has no movement. Today, it has sat for days and up to 6 degrees...and, magically, brakes, again. Any suggestions? Yes, there's fluid. Pads have about 10k on them, 94k on truck.

PS: To those...

1995 4runner idling wild and throwing some black smoke I own a 1995 runner 3.0L. The truck has been running great.. It got really cold last night.... I went to start the truck using the the clutch cancel button./ It started but was running rough, when I came back outside it was jumping from 400-500rpm up to 1200rpm back and forth kinda sputtering a little, and throwing some black smoke. When I get in and drive away, it ran alot better, no check engine light, anything.....

I just learned that I have a cracked head on my 22r and I'm wondering if I can just replace that head with one that I have found in a salvage lot without damage to the rest of the engine. The engine has 158313 miles and has had water in the oil. I'm considering doing a complete overhaul myself. I've just changed the timing chain and cover so I would hate to have to change the mains. Any in put would be appreciated.

dose a header on the R22 make a diffrence in proformance and gas milage

anyone in the lower mainland bc have any idea how to get my 1990 v6 4x4 4runner to pass aircare? my nox is way off the chart! like tripple the allowable amount. i changed my O2 sensor (just doing what i was told by an , untill now reliable buddy) and still the nox is way off the chart! i put a full tank of ultra premium fuel, dumped a bottle of fuel addative "garaunteed to pass" drove the full tank out and straight to aircare....and still failed! any ideas would be greatly apreciated....
