What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

why would he? he sold it and has a LC so that makes sense he's over there. Im sure you could still ask him about it though.

 

I have something similar, had a friend that wanted to test out his CNC plasma table make me this

 

I remember he was pretty chummy with folks around here. Some even in the Wyo thread. Figured he'd stay around a bit. He's gone the way of Jon, never to return

 

yeah was a good dude. i liked him a lot. Never got to meet him sadly. We talked about it several time just never worked out.

 

whats the best place to get the coil packs? anybody got the part numbers in handy? Im at 250k and doubt they have ever been replaced. I'm throwing a P0303 and trouble shooted the coil pack with no luck. next is the plugs. they only have 20k, but you never know.

 

Pretty rare for one of our coil packs to go bad. (It can happen, but not usually the problem). Try moving the coil pack from cylider number 3 to a different cylinder. If the code follows the pack, you know it's the coil pack. If you still have a code on 0303, you know the problem isn't the pack and you can continue figuring out what's going on.

 

I did. Still same code

Im hoping new plugs will solve the problem..... If not.... I got a few months before next summer to drop an LS in this bitch

 

Could also try new spark plug wires. Try swapping those

 

@Fernando ^ This ^ would be my next step. NGK wires aren't all that expensive.

Check your plug on cyl 3 to make sure it looks like a plug on the other side (color)

Possibly replace plugs (even though they were done 20K miles ago)... just because it's relatively easy, not terribly expensive, around 60 bucks for NGK double platinum (run those if it's not what you're already running.)

At that point you've pretty well ruled out spark.

The next step would be having your fuel injectors tested, compression tested, and look for vacuum leaks.

 

Will do. Cheap to try it

Thanks brotha. Fingers crossed!

 

Sounds like it's not the coil packs. Wires would be first thing, they go bad much more often.

But here's the coil packs if you need them later:




Hopefully that posted.

 

95 4wd transmission work in an 01? I know 03-04 won’t work but what about older ones. And I assume 4cyl and 6cyl both used the a340?

 

Yeah should be good. And am pretty sure they are the same auto. I certainly don't know of a different one.

 

1st gen Toyota Tacoma ARB Front Bumper
https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/65181383

Anyone want it

 

I hate to say it but their front bumpers are hideous.
Damn near bought one for a steal but I decided on Shrock Works out of Texas. Glad I did.

 

I don’t like them either, too bulky and heavy for me.

but it’s like 25% off and looks decent, figured I’d share

 

If it was for a first generation 4Runner I'd be all over it. I've been waiting over a year for the one I ordered from Australia.

 

My 02 got a 96 trans when I did my swap.

 

Thanks Monte

 

Sent it to my buddy in Iowa, he actually digs the ARB.
