1993 Toyota Previa - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

There is in most cases only one reason for this and that is that the engine cylinder head gasket is leaking between the 2 cylinders.

Shouldn't be a problem unless you encounter exremely cold weather.

If you are lucky you blew a fuse. Look for fuse box cover under driver side. Removed on fuse at a time and see if the wire in the middle melted.

in most cases adding fuel injection cleaner and ensuring engine has been given a good run before the test will make a big difference. hotter the engine and cat the better

make sure theres the correct amount of coolant in the radiator and there are no blocked pipes including air preventing the matrix getting warm....is the matrix getting warm?

sounds like it needs a good tune up and new airfilter will sort it out

If it's oil, your axle seal is leaking, and will need to be replaced. That will involve taking the rear diff apart. If it is brake fluid, you just have a leaky wheel cyllinder. Determine for sure which it is before you start spending money.

For 1985 Toyota Truck Van 2.0L FI 4cyl the Flasher is located: Front seating area, driver side, under dash, mounted in fuse panel .

Hope help with this.

Start by looking in owners manual under (fuses) Locate the fuse block and look for blown fuses.This is where i would start.

1. Did you replace the Starter Solenoid, or just the Starter? If you only replaced the starter, try replacing the Starter Solenoid.
2. Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion. Look for a white-powder on the cables (this is corrosion). You can clean the corrosion with baking soda mixed in water and a bristle brush. Corrosion can creep up cables, so inspect your cables closely for discoloration (usually black).
3. If this doesn't fix the problem, or you already replaced the Starter Solenoid, you may have an Ignition Switch that is going bad.
4. Else, you may have gotten a bad Starter/Solenoid or your engine has locked up.

SOUNDS LIKE VAPOUR LOCK

You have either a blown head gasket or a cracked block or head.

I would check the oil level on the dipstick, I think it means the oil is low.

I had a 1994 Gmc truck that did that, turns out speakers had gone out and the other side was about to give, pull one of your speakers out from the side that dont work and wire up a AAA battery to see if it makes a sound when you connect the battery to the neg and pos side.

CHANGE THE PRESSURE REGULATOR TO THE FUEL PUMP,AT THE HARNESS UNDER THE HOOD NEXT TO THE BATTERY

A "Timing Chain" should last the life of the engine, as long as you change oil according your car makers recommendations. A "Timing Belt" is another story they are usually good for about 80,000 to 100,000 miles.

Seems like a bad battery terminal connection to me, try having someone hold the terminals while you crank it. Check where the wires bolt onto the terminals too. Could also be a fault in the ignition switch.

If you mean the shaft that runs the accessories in the front causing a chattering noise, No, you need to loosen the mounts that hold the whole front assembly in place to remove the coupling though.
If you mean the rear driveshaft, then yes, Lift the vehicle, select neutral gear, apply the handbrake and mark the driveshaft at the rear where the driveshaft connects to the differential so it can be re fitted in the same position. Loosen the bolts one by one, releasing the handbrake to turn the driveshaft around to get to the next bolt. Take note of which way around the bolts are as this is important for the strength of the bolts in relation to the sheering action of the driveshaft.

Ika, has it started back? If not, it may be a timing belt/chain broke. If it cranks, it may be a fuel pump, filter, pinched gas lines, or bad fuel injectors. It may be a problem in the ignitions. Spark plugs,coils, wires, distributor, coil pack, dist.cap, If it is not cranking, check ignition fuse. Check battery, wires, and whole charging system. If it is just dying on you and it starts back, it may be a map sensor, idle sensor or throttle sensor possibly. Need a little more info please.
