Well since I do not have the vehicle, im not able to check these things. All I can do is make suggestions by calling them ( the owner is getting a call today, because this vehicle has had issues for almost 2-3 months and I NEED it this weekend up until the day after 4th of july ) But anyway, the heads were subbed out to a machine shop, so they didn't touch the heads, they just sent them off and recieved them 3-4 days later. I can have them check the TPS. But would that cause the vehicle to perplex randomly?

 

I just called the owner. He basically told me that he's dealing with a disgruntled employee that has basically given up on my truck and is tired of dealing with it. So on top of dealing with that he said that he is going to be working on my truck ( He rebuilt his son's 3vze ) so he's pretty familiar with how anal working on the 3vz truly is. Judging by what he told me, he'll be pulling the front of the motor off to check the pullies and see if they're line up, then he'll call me back. So I guess i'll know within a couple hours.

 

its fixed! The owner checked it out and the timing was completely off. Only one of the arrows on the pulley was lined up and the other was way outta whack. but she's back on the road again! im stoked.

 

hate to say it.... told ya.

 

haha wasn't me working on it...

 

yay for me....and you. glad it was that easy.

 

I know, im pretty relieved. nice to drive the ol' runner again.

 

i run mine at 15 degrees to 17 degrees and it still passes
