SOURCE: Transmission shifts into 5th gear and loses power

start checking the trans fluid level, a trans filter change and trans flush should help.

SOURCE: missing all of a sudden on highway

Mass Air Flow Sensor, Coil Packs, Ignition Wires, Spark plugs. check all of those. MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) it would want to quit in park and sometimes the check engine light would come on also it would skip a little when you got on it around 3,000 rpm or so.

SOURCE: After several minutes of driving, the engine starts shuddering and losing power like it is going to die

Sounds like your clutch is glazed, warped and/or going out.

low voltage to starter. Check battery for proper charge (must be 12.5+ volts), clean and tighten battery terminals. If below 12.5 volts, charging or battery replacement is needed. Hopefully this helpd

I have a Toyota Previa AWD, a couple of months ago when I would shut the van off it would not start again at all. I would leave it sit for a couple of hours and it would fire right up. The problem is...

I would first try putting a small amount of starter fluid in the air cleaner when it refuses to start. If it starts then, it is likely low fuel pump pressure which can be caused by a clogged fuel filter, bad fuel pump, or a poor wiring connection to the pump.

1992 Toyota Privia won't start. Intermittent problem of starting, dying while iddeling. Missing while driving, but not dying. And not starting at all. Replaced the coil. No success. All this happened...

go back into the rotor cap and check it for carbon tracking, and check the rotor button for carbon/ melting, its possible the coil. make sure you have good fuel pressure and that it hasnt jumped time.

Oil level light stays blinking on toyota previa 1993

most of these models have 2 oil lights.The red one is oil pressure,if flashing or on when engine is running,it is usually serious.check oil level,but usually caused by blocked pickup screen(a common toyota fault) when services aren't done.The orange oil light is tripped by an oil level sensor on the side of the sump when the oil level is low.If the oil level is ok,note this is a common fault especially if oil changes have been missed,and/or a petrol engine oil used and sludge builds up,sometimes using an additive for flushing prior to oil change can help,but may not work on 1st oil change.

1993 Toyota Previa makes a rattling noise when running

I have had this problem before, the first time it was discovered that the stand that support the hood was not properly secured in the clip slot.
The second time the grill was loose. Check these before going to the mechanic.
