My check motor light came on the other day. all the fluids are full and new. i just put in a new air filter. vaulve oil filter and fuel filter. my trucks got 206k on it is this just a flaw or do i need to worry?

 

will i see your new but around here we like to call it cel short for check engine light ..... what kind of air filter? could try resetting the ecu by pulling the negative battery cable and the efi fuse

 

ok um just a cheep fram ill try to reset that

 

if that dont work may have to pull the codes and post up what it is... also fram is on a list of things not to use on a toyota

 

oh ok i just bought it a month or so ago i havent drove it yet but my dad has been. i ate it on my quad and a little messed up so.. next week i think i can start driving

 

To check for TDC (Trouble Codes) see link below and jump TE1 to E1 terminals. Turn ignition switch to run position and count the blinks of the CEL.

What's wrong with Fram? What else do you recommend?

 

I know its off subject, but, where is the list of stuff not to use on my toyota


And I use an OEM air filter. I used to have a K&N but someone put up a poll and posts after that convinced me that K&N wasn't doing me any favors out here in the desert.

 

I find that when I don't use OEM parts, I end up servicing my vehicle more often.

eg.

I got 3 brake master cylinders through Checker/Schucks/Kragen for my Land Cruiser, none of which lasted longer than 6 months before a seal went bad, leaked, and my brakes went gushy.

Finally, I bit the bullet and bought a new OEM toyota master cylinder through the dealership, put that on, and I haven't had a problem with it in 2 years.

 

there just junk..... i would go with oem or a napa gold

 

As I have said before....I might even dig up the qoute for you if your lucky, that toyotas love OEM parts like addicts love thier smack....
