If you try this setup, take the spark plug for 1 and connect to the spark cable wire as usual, then ground out the metal of the spark plug maybe with a jumper cable to chassis ground or the - post on the battery, you can hold it and see if it sparks in the open air? This is helpful to know. it...

Yes I used to work at Pep boys as a full line mechanic, and one car had 4 alternators? I kept putting them in and they'd come back bad after days or a week, the rebuilt ones were just painted and put back in a box. The usual fix for an alternator is super simple, a brush kit or carefully...

1994 22RE engine? Like any alternator you can do a quick test with a big screwdriver or metal but obviously this is a potentially hazardous test that has to be carefully done, the center of the alternator pulley will be a strong magnet if its charging and ON, you can test if its magnetic with...

if i just had work and income that would be easy. i ended up just ripping into it. the track grease is dry, got most of the old glass out, its been too cold to do work hopefully saturday. will just throw it in there and bolt it up. latch hopelessly jammed too, will spray the special lube...

when you say slow, Im imagining the motor turns over very slowly like a weak battery? or do you mean its cranking but takes a long time to start? to me I call it cranking when you turn the key to start and the engine is turned by the starter, right? so that sound before it starts is cranking...

Have the rear glass. The rear hatch wont open, need to do that first, but the panels are all removed. Have to get tools and bring them to the truck and hoped to find out what is needed and a how-to video and what it needs, and what to look out for? Do this but not that? Or even glance somehow...

This is basically the answer. This truck, unlike the older vehicles, has ABS and alot more brake line. I was wrong. I should have insisted on the home bleeding setup and not just let some of the air spew out and go. There was still alot of air in the lines. it works fine now

Ok well its working now. Bleeding the lines fixed it. I wouldnt accuse people of not knowing what theyre doing if you dont know who you say that to. what do you do when there simply is no money and you have to get kids to/from school, get food and do whats needed for part time work? I worked...

a tech just told me the ABS may be in lockup mode? thinking its skidding and wont let oil to the back brakes. is there some reset of the unit itself? is clearing the light the same thing as resetting the unit itself?

Hi, thanks for your help. I was going to try to bleed the brakes but am really worried now, reading forums and anything I can find on this, some comment that: As the other stated I would think furthest all the way to the closest. But I would also put something under the brake pedal so that you...

I was trying to open the bleeder valve and put the 10mm box wrench on it and tapped with a larger tool, instead of come loose it just broke off, leaving the piece on the wrench and now I cant grab it to try and open it, will need to take some punch and hammer and try to work it loose or drill...

by myself.... i dont have hose or any more brake oil. The ABS unit, it should not interfere with the oil pressure from the master cyl right? it just pulses the pressure? The light itself, its ok if thats on and the power assist is ok, you can push to the floor, hard, Im about 270 lbs...

too odd its the master cylinder going bad suddenly right now, has to be air in the lines

caliper is fine now, put together carefully; no leaks at all, master cyl. oil is at the top. i went to the right rear and opened the bleeder valve, nothing. pushed the brake pedal, nothing. finally after a while a tiny bit of oil came out. tried to bleed, partially both rear, absolutely zero...

thank you so much! only have 1 car, and need to go somewhere, family mad at me, maybe if i try bleeding the brakes; but I mean there are zero brakes. push and it sort of builds up a little then you feel it go out and to the floor. Ive never done this on ABS systems. I dont have money to...

Hi all 2003 Toyota Sequoia 2WD had it for 8 years now. Brakes needed to be serviced, have done usually one at a time as needed. Would repair when the pad was mostly or fully worn, metal to metal grinding which got worse really fast. This time it was the front left (driver) brake, grinding...
