Hi, you could check your engine mounts.

Hello! Know for sure that you already fixed or burned your car lol... i had the same issue and resolved with an stupidity. There is a fuse that the car might or might not need depending if it does have an inmobilizer or not. Mine did not have it therefore the fuse was not needed. Once I removed it issue was fixed.

I think you should go for repair manual first for your vehicle after that it will be easy for you to solve the problem. Check the link may be you will get something useful here Best Manuals

In the old days the turbo wastegate was closed and the turbo left to its own devices to produce as much pressure as it could until it reached maximum when the wastegate would open. In modern times the turbo wastegate is open and no pressure is produced unless the engine management decides to close the wastegate. The wastegate is closed (mostly) by a vacuum servo and the vacuum supply is switched on/exhausted by the management computer as it decides. Conditions of low boost/power loss or overboost can be difficult to locate/cure. It is usually pointless relying on basic scanners and code readers because they are often misleading. It is far better to entrust diagnosis to a diagnostic specialist who will have the equipment and experience to view the live data and make sense of it.

I would be checking the radiator closely to determine where the leak is.

You need to have the codes read for the security. Could be the key, receiver, wiring,bad fuse, or module that has died. It takes a scanner to read security. I would start with the fuses. If I don't have the fuse diagram, I pull one at a time, replace it if it is bad. But I pull all them and relays. Doing this gets rid of corrosion problems also. I have fixed many cars just by pulling a good fuse and putting it back in. Corrosion...

yes transfer case is attached to transmission

Check your fuses and/or relays?

could be a faulty tyre--( belt seperation -tyre side wall bulge) or drive line "U" joint failure. I would start at the tyres first as they are the easiest to replace.

P0420 & P0430 are catalyst codes. Both catalytic converters are gone! Only fix is to replace them both. Don\'t believe the clean them out does not work. There is a bulletin to reflash,"update" the ECU software for these codes. Toyota tells us to do this after you replace the converters. It is just a bulletin, not a recall. They will charge you if your vehicle has more than 80,000 mile on it. Under 96 months or 80,000 it should be covered under your emissions warranty.
