I rolled my truck into a ditch hit some ice 180'd and flopped her on its lid. It took at least an hour before we could get it on its wheels. im pretty sure oil is everywhere its not supposed to be. does this mean i have to tear down the motor or can this be solved with less work. 3.0 V6 5speed. i tried turnin the motor over and it just made a back fire sound. And that is all it will do right now..:ba ng:

 

Pull the plugs and crank it. Oil may have drained into the intake, then fouled your plugs
.

 

You should always pull your plugs before you try to turn it over after its been upside down or stalled in deep water. oil and water don't compress very well.

 

what the hell jason lol ya pull the plugs.. check ur oil level.. im with every one else on this oil in the intake.

 

is the oil cap still on ? it may run wierd w/out the oil cap removed...

 

you got some blinker fluid in your muffler bearings. you'll have to rebuild your catastrophic diverter.

 

Also, this might provide you a great opportunity to add a second transmission.

Seriously though, sorry to hear about your truck.

 

yeah..
x2,,,sorry bout your rollover..

it cannot be anything too bad...
did you crimp a fuel line ?> check fuel pressure at the fpr.

you only need air, fuel and spark to get it running.

 

if its back firing did you check to see if your dizzy moved at all? did you take off you wires and plugs at the same time and said you didnt and crossed them up? not sure but i know its a easy fix maybe something unpluged!

 

pull the plugs and squirt some carb cleaner in the cylinders and spin the engine over letting whatever squirts out do so.
keep doing that a few more times then let it sit a while. put new plugs in (or clean your old ones really well) and see if it starts.

 

i'm sorry to hear about your loss man the same thing happened to me almost a year ago today.

i had a 22re but i had to do the same thing they were sayin above pull the plugs and crank her a bit

 

Thanks guys that is pretty much what i figured. Ill be workin on it later this week. hope she fires after i check everything. Im pretty sure it will after all its a TOYOTA! this is the second time i have rolled her. the first time i got it rubber side down reall quick and it just blew some smoke.

 

so i guess we need to sit down and come up with a exo design lol

 

spending some time upside-down means some oil is gonna get up (or rather down?) into the valve covers and likely throught the PCV and such into the intake.
Just be patient with it.
It's a Toyota for cryin' out loud!

 

whats a PCV? and 86toyrunna def. gonns be makin an exo cage. this is the 2nd time i rolled and i dont wanna fix this stuff again

 

well i suppose ill try to answer this one before and scarcasm and or bashing lol its the.. well correct me if im wrong guys.. pcv stands for positive crankcase ventalation.. its a small filter like item that its more then likely pluged into the top of your valve covers or cover with a tube going from it to the intake.. in normal opperating conditions it keeps the oil from getting up into the intake.. but when its put on its side and on its lid the oil will just flow through it, and into the intake.. hence the smoke you mentiond of the first time it rolled... well atleast thats my take on them... me and tyler are talkin about gettin a bender so........ wooohooo its gettin close to cage time

 

thanks ben. that would be sick, thinkin about like a jd3 or somethin.

 

pulled the plugs and the intake tube oil is everywhere. When i pulled one of the plugs oil started comming out of the plug hole. My battery died also so i gotta charge it befor i start cranking it over to try and clean out the cylinders.

 

schweet.. sounds like tons o fun.. i gotta come see the carnage soon

 

ya man its not real bad but it is in no way good. if i can get the cab straight enough to hold a windshield ill keep the cab if not it looks like ill be doin another cab swap. ugh
