Where is the freeze plug on the 92 toyota previa
pcook90,
Feeze plugs are located on both sides of the block. V6's should have 2-3 on each side, and a V8 should have 3-4 on each side. A four-cylinder should have two or three on each side as well.

My toyota lucida is pouring black smoke out of the
Hi
Is it a diesel or petrol motor? If it is Diesel or petrol then black smoke is a sign that it is using excessive fuel so it could be a blocked air filter or fuel filter. if it is a diesel motor. So check these 2 items first.
The low oil level light is on because the engine needs the oil topped up, if you fill it to the correct level this will make the oil level light switch off. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.

Probably the oil seal for the valves on the cylinder head are not good,oil is passing through then comes in the cylinder chamber,when it burn the engine oil it makes that white smoke.

your local auto zone can read your code. you will need this code to trouble shoot, as there are many things that can cause this. your toyota is obd1 so call and ask if they can read your code before driving out there in your vehicles condition. most just have obd2 scanners (1996 and newer)
Toyota 1991 previa automatic shift gear stuck
Try replacing the fuse listed as "Reverse Park Aid/Shift Change Interlock/IVD Switch".
Check under the shifting mechanism for loose change or other small
items that might have gotten stuck between the gears and baseplate.
Fixing this only costs time.
- You may have a safety switch where you have to press the brake it
may have gone bad or your ignition switch also has a safety interlock
that could have gone bad.
- Have you ever wondered why you had so much trouble shifting out of
PARK on a steep grade? An automatic transmission, when in PARK
position, locks the driving wheels. On a steep grade you'll need more
than normal pressure to move the shift lever. This is because the
transmission's parking pawl resists the vehicle's tendency to roll.
- The last answer was cut from Parts America.com and I have to add I
am looking for more than this answer since until the transmission
rebuild two months ago this van has never had a problem on the slight
slope of my driveway. I had to push her up the drive way a bit to get
the parking paul off the lock. The pawl wears and I have to ask my
tranny guy if he replaced those pawls or not. How many thousands of
miles does the tranny have - mine has 120,000.
- Your pawl probably got a groove cut into it because if you don't
use your parking brake, hence the name, when parking on ANY incline you
put pressure on it and bit by bit wear down the metal.
- The reason your car would be stuck in park is because you did not
use the parking brake. The purpose of a parking brake is to hold the
vehicle, many use the transmission to hold the vehicle but then it will
evntually result in spending 2,000 dollars on a new transmission. A
transmission is made to shift gears, not to hold a vehicle. Thats why
they call the parking brake, the PARKING brake. Park or P on the
gearshift selector means just plain park it is to show thats where you
put it when you stop your vehicle and turn it off. If it were to hold
the vehicle I would imagine it would say park brake. The way I apply
the parking brake is I stop then before putting it in park I FIRMLY
apply the parking brake, then put it in park. You need to push it down
hard or else it is pointless to use it.
- Don't forget to let off the foot brake before putting the
transmission into park. My steps: 1) Stop vehicle; 2) Firmly set
Parking Brake; 3) Put transmission in Neutral; 4) Let off foot brakes
(slowly, to make sure Parking Brake is holding); and 5) Put
transmission into park. This puts literally no strain on the
transmission.
Here is a site that will help clear things up:
http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h18.pdf (You must have Adobe Acrobat
Reader to view the inforomation.) It is roughly page three that covers
the "shift lock release button" and the shift solenoid. If your vehicle
is equipped with a "release" or "overide" button then it is almost
certain the problem is with the shift lock solenoid. A failing solenoid
can be affected by temperature variations.
