Top 20 2002 Toyota Avalon Questions & Answers

Jesus, why not just replace the car while you are at it...

I have included an image for reference. There is a tensioner included in the pulleys the belt travels around. (Red X). There is also a spring loaded lever point you use to release the tension on the belt. Remove the covers to expose the belt. **Take a photo or draw the route the belt takes so you don't forget when putting the new one back on.** Facing the belt and using a ring spanner or swan neck spanner, turn the adjuster clockwise, (green circle). **NOTE** There will be a lot of tension on the spring so take your time as it could slip and snap back into place, taking at least one knuckle with it. I always find a helper at this point makes the whole thing A LOT easier. Once the adjuster is swung over the belt should slide off one of the pulleys and then off completely. Gently ease the adjuster back to it's rest position. Replace as follows. Using your reference image and your helper, swing the adjuster clockwise as far as you can. Position the belt, making sure it is squarely positioned on each pulley. GENTLY ease the adjuster back off and recheck it is squarely set on all the pulleys. At this point you can start the vehicle to check the belt in running correctly then after turning the engine OFF refit any covers over the belt.

My dad's a mechanic and he bought stuff from here when he could't solve it himself. You can try this website here Best Manuals

Tough to tell from your description. I would check the strut mount. That is the top assembly that the spring seats against. The top rotates, or should. The night part puzzles me.

Start with the basics: Do you have all your fluids at normal levels? Does the engine turn over when you turn the key? Check the voltage on the car battery -- it should be between 12.8 - 14V without load, any lower and your battery may be too flat to start the car. That check engine light means the onboard computer does know something's up. Go get an OBD2 scanner and plug it in, read the code, and work from there. If your engine is turning over, then the fuel isn't igniting for whatever reason. Check your battery, check your plugs, and check your fuel pump to make sure the engine is getting fuel.

Visual test fail is visual white smoke out of the tail pipe? The engine seems to be burning something it shouldn't, such as coolant, brake fluid, oil. It may have a check engine light on or may not. Give it a leak down test and check for blown gaskets. Look it up in youtube or google it.

White smoke is usually coolant burning = bad head gasket or cracked head.

make sure it is in park with ignition on to adjust seat, CONDITIONS FOR MEMORIZED POSITION ACTIVATION Ignition key "ON" and shift lever in "P" position All parts of the memorized positions can be activated. However, if the brake pedal is being depressed, the seat position will not change. Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening driver's door The memorized position can be activated. If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the operation will stop. To reactivate the system, push the desired button ("1" or "2") again. The driving position memory control system cannot be operated while the vehicle is moving. If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the computer's memory will be erased and the memorized position will have to be set again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if you wouldve followed

paulmacintyre s answer,you would not have needed to post it again,

Most vacuum leaks are in hoses. You can visually inspect all of the small hoses under the hood, and see if cracks have appeared. The other way is to take a spray bottle with brake fluid, and while the engine is running, spray those same hoses. When you hit the right one, smoke will come out of the tailpipe. I don't like this one, because brake fluid is also an excellent paint remover...
