2006 Toyota Previa 2.4 - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It sounds like the starter solenoid is going bad on your starter. I would remove it and take it somewhere to have the starter tested

Without having more specific information like year and model I can only give you a generic answer at this time, the body control unit is also known as the body ECU(electronic control unit) it controls just about everything in the car except for the engine, transmission and dynamic brake systems, examples: auto light turn on/off, daytime running lights, keyless entry, factory alarm, power windows, wiper /washers, auto A/C systems and more depending on the year and model.

IF YOU NEED A CLICK BEFOR IT STARTS THE SILOND ON STARTER IS GOING BAD JUST REPLACE THE SILOND.

year make model?

get your owners manual out of the glove box, find fuse panel. there is a legend in the manual and on the back of the panel cover as to what is what. find the fuse for the airbag and remove it. then wait a half hour before disconnecting any of the airbag connections.

Your door may be binding in the guide tracks. Check when the door opens. You could try spray lithum grease if you find that the door does bind.

Toyota 2.2 TD engine type: 3C-TE

General: Allways check the timing marks before timing belt removal!

Instructions:
1. Remove the ancillary drive belt
2. Remove the timing belt upper cover


3. Remove the glow plugs
4. Turn the cranckshaft to TDC for cylinder 1

5. Remove the crankshaft pulley centr bolt

6. Remove the crankshaft gearwheel

Check the oil level in your engine, and top it off. If it has been a while, go ahead and get an oil change.
Also, check your radiator fluid level, as well as your transmission fluid level.
If this sound is only present when you first start the van, it is probably just low on oil. If the engine hasn't been rebuilt, you may have oil leaking from your piston rings and onto your spark plugs electrodes, causing inefficient combustion.
Depending on how many miles this engine has, how hard it was driven, etc., it may be time for a rebuild if this problem gets worse. Main and rod bearings, valve springs, valves, etc. all wear out over time, and lead to louder than normal engine sounds.

Have you replaced your oxygen sensor ? Problem you just describe points to that, if not enough air will cause this, let me know , Mike from Fixya

That is too difficult to explain here. Search "rear disc brakes Toyota" on YouTube.com for some videos. You may not find a toyota but most are similar.

You need to perform a compression test to verify mechanical intergirty of the engine. Given that it has overheated at least twice from you have stated, it is possible that the head gasket has been damaged and requires replacement. Check your oil and see how it looks. If there is water in the oil system, you will need a head gasket. 1. check the oil 2. if the oil is good, run a compression test. Let me know what you find.

Do not move the vehicle- so do not start the engine but have it towed for replacement of the cam belt with the proper spare and the timing set to the factory standard.
