SOURCE: overheating 1993 toyota 4runner sr5 v6

The V6's were known for blowing head gaskets. One of your engine cylinders is blowing hot air into the cooling system which of course then overheats the engine. I had the same problem and spent hundreds of dollars on a new water pump only to have the same overheating issue. I bought a $10 can of head / block sealer and followed the directions. Saved myself thousands of dollars in new head gasket repairs. The block sealer worked. No more overheating. Problem solved.

SOURCE: Toyota error code P2118

I don't have a Sienna but I do have a 2008 Toyota Camry SE. After it being in the garage for many months, 8 months I think, I had to give the battery a jump to finally start it up. Well The jumper cables I used weren't that great. They flickered and seemed to smoke a little. So i removed them and put a better set on to get a charge. I didn't think anything of it. After that charge came through and i was able to accelerate at all... The throttle was to the floor and the car would not even go up .5 RPMs... After several days and talking to the dealer, I was about to call a Tow to have it taken to the dealer. Luckily my friend came by with one of those diagnostic readers and it spit out the P2118 error code. Immediately we looked it up and found this site. Thanks to Fixya.com I was able to determine that it was a freakin measly fuse that blew due to bad jumper cables... Thank god for the Fuse and thank you to Fixya.com that I was able to determine this so quickly!!!

Start by checking the ETCS fuse in the engine room fuse box. If it's good, you may have an open circuit between the fuse box and ECM.

Engine does not accelerate as automatic transmission is engaged

Sounds like you have a timing belt issue, it may be off one tooth. This would be expected by the way you describe your symptoms

I have a 2003 Toyota 4runner SR5. The engine warning light came on this morning. What's advice would you offer? Thank you

Hi!
The Engine management light comes on for Faults and Service intervals.
I presume from your brief description the vehicle hasn't changed in performance? if this is so then it looks like time for a service.
If however there is a difference or you are experiencing problems a Visit to a competant engineer is important particulary one who knows about OBD fault codes and resetting.
Good Luck!
I hope this helps,
Paul 'W'
