lol...living in Cali is your problem

Too many tree huggers are farting, causing horrible fart to fuel mixture. Have Obama help you

What is your smog issue? What did you fail on? Vac. diagrams are on the internet. Print the one for your truck and start chasing. Tire size?

I do agree, california sucks thats why im moving out of here next year, way to many tree huggers here that don`t have a clue what there talking about or doing most of the time.

yeah i kno f cali...high emissions...i got new co2 sensors on it...and for the vacuum diagram..the best one i found didnt make sense nothin lookd the same..

i replaced the oil gasket but i had to unplug some hoses and i think i might hav plugd some wrong idk...and my tire size hahah i dnt even kno i think they are the stock ones

why do you need a full size suv to go more than 70mph?

j17noriega

j17noriega

first off, welcome to yotatech...

now that thats done, might wanna list some of the specs of your sweet lookin runner...

what are the RPM's on the freeway?
have you tried to pull any stored trouble codes?
also, there is a sticky at the top of the forum with a link to the FSM's... that would be your best place to look for the toyota hose diagrams...
also, might want to do a basic tune-up if you havent already...

one thing to note, and im not trying to be mean, but typing out the full words... it takes 2 seconds more, and people will want to be more helpful if you do...

j17noriega

Sounds great ..im gonna be doing a full tune up changing some filters and stuff
thanks
and yeah ok thats fine

stagger_lee

You said it gets stuck at speed and wont shift? Have you checked/changed tranny fluid, or maybe have her flushed? Do like you said and do a full tune up including plugs and wires as well before other avenues are researched. Is this a new car to you? Just bought? If so do you know maintenance history?

j17noriega

it was an impounded car...i know they people that had it smoked weed..i found some in it hahaha

but yea plugs are new but i am gonna start a tune up and new fluids

bigt

if you vacuum hoses are messed up that might be an issue...
if you look at the top of this forums there is a STICKY post with the factory service manual posted..it is the book you need to fix your truck
ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT!!!
also its good to do a basic tuneup when you get a new truck change all fluids..
how long have you had the runner?

j17noriega

about 2 months iv had it..
and the book thing your saying i was just looking at it..haha
