Failed engine valve?

I can use cruise control and enjoy it on the Coquihalla hwy haha !

 

Me too!

 

Dam! Let us know what the outcome is!

 

After reading all comments here, yesterday afternoon I opened, and properly closed the gas cap; and this morning driving to work check engine light went off. Still am going to get the Intake and exhaust valves to get clean. Aperantly after 25k miles this maintenance needs to be done.
Thanks to all for the inputs!!

 

They have to be cleaned at 25k!? Dam, I never knew that. Lol. I sold my truck a while ago but good to know for other vehicles.

 

but but but everyone swears they are 300k mile motors.....

 

The 3.5 has both direct and port injectors to keep the valves clean. I haven’t heard of any Tacomas needing valves cleaned.

 

To be fair there is no correlation between the work done and an O2 sensor failure.

 

I dust and polish my valves twice a week. I like them to shine!

 

My valves are shoved into the basement and are told to stay there. We don't talk about them. They dont exist.

Unlike our other kids, oilpan, differential, brakes, and tires. They get bathed every night and new shoes every week because we are proud of them.

 

Toyota should just put a 2 stroke motor in the 4th gen.

 

How are you planning to ‘clean’ the exhaust valves?

 

nah. it will go at least 500k.

 

You added an extra zero.

 

yep.

 

That’s what they are going to do, with a TURBO!

 

2-strokes run like ass with ethanol gas

 

FIFY

 

My 2 stroke snowmobile runs just fine on ethanol gas. But I try to store it with ethanol free gas.
