Excellent! Thank you. I am a recently retired chiropractor who finally has time to restore my old 1990 4x4 SR5 3VZE with 157K miles. I bought her new in SF in 1990 and would like to see her hit 300K. My head gaskets blew within 3 years and were replaced under warranty. There is so much bad info out there especially on the EGR delete obsession which I was being seduced by until I found you. I was throwing a code 71 which was easily fixed by pulling the EGR valve. I was getting ready to order a new one but just cleaning it with carb cleaner fixed the problem. I would love to see you do a service video or any other videos as I am also gearing up to do a complete service. All fluids, filters, grease, etc., etc. Question: Is it possible to change the PCV without pulling the intake plenum? Again thank you. Keep up the good work. Liked. Subscribed & hit the bell! ps.

That is a good looking 4Runner you have, and it's great to see how well you take care of it. I've always loved 4Runners. Finally bought one just over a year ago - not a 2nd Gen like yours, but a 3rd Gen with the 3.4 5VZ. Although it's not the same, some of the issues are as well the level of care . So from this non-mechanical guy (regular oil changes were about all I could ever handle), I appreciate the advice. After watching this video a week ago or so, I went ahead and ordered a radiator cap and hoses just to have for the next coolant flush as you mentioned (or to have around just in case). As luck would have it, I got a P0115 code a couple of days ago. I started looking around the engine to see where the ECT sensor and thermostat were (the suggested repairs for that code), and I noticed some light pinkish residue around the radiator cap that hadn't been there before. I popped that new cap on there, cranked her back up, and the engine code went away (for now). Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge!

3.0 story long version rant!: I bought $650.00 1995 4runner with 3vze knowing transmission was toast. Swapped for ebay one. It was faulty. This was my first ever auto work beyond replacing a belt. Took a week to swap transmission. Did it all again in 3 days when they sent me another one. A/T light came on after swap within 45 minutes of driving. Replaced radiator. Discovered cylinder 3 had heli-coil and incorrect plug installed by some hack who obviously was trying to flip the truck to some sucker like me. So I bought rebuilt cylinder head for 400 and installed. Compression was all around 170 except number 2 at 156. Ran pretty good for a few months. Installed new tires 800. Installed new shocks 250. Installed new coil springs and spacer to fix rear sag. Led lights throughout swap. Installed new power steering pump, which ended up being more noisy than my old one.. One day truck went into limp mode so I took top half of engine apart for 4th time now and installed new knock sensor. Knock sensor, as well as timing belt, steering arm/struts, belts, PVC....and more had all been done by the sucker who sold it to me only a year before. He spent 2500 on all that and probably realized the flipper before him screwed him. I replaced 02 sensors with bosch at some point, because of engine code I think and basically just part swapping out of confusion. Then I starting having issues again. Took a month to finally find fuel damper leaking. I installed 3 different ones from Orielly's in a row and all broke apart before even getting to torque spec. So I epoxy puttied mine closed until an ebay one arrived. Think I had some fun for a month or two without issues. Then I had issues again...a code or drivability issue or both. Finally went to mechanic to just have stuff looked at like vacuum and such. He told me inside distributor had faulty electronics, and my #6 valve was going bad(on other cylinder I did not replace). So 250 for Orielly's distributor and he told me to install plug extender in number 6. He also told me to go ahead and drive the 100 mile trip I was anxious to make. About 40 miles on the freeway and finding cruise control revving up to 400k rpms and acting erratic, I looked down to needle in red for engine temp, and a minute later while trying to pull over, smoke starting billowing from hood. Blown head gasket. #6 plug tip was burned completely off. 1 year old aluminum radiator was cracked. I got towed back to mechanic who was furious that I towed to him and told me to leave. So I was forced to drive a couple miles back home with smoking engine and refilling coolant every 10 blocks. The engine would almost sieve when trying to restart and some loud metal grinding sounds. I took the gamble and bought a set of new cylinder heads(not rebuilt, new. Brand new re-casted heads) $2k all said and done with all the gaskets and misc. I asked around about flushing engine after blowing gasket, but no one seemed to concerned about it. So I did a basic flush with some basically diesel product engine flush. Engine seemed to tick more than before after new heads. Compression was around 165-168 except number 3 at 154. I drove from WA to OR 1000 miles over small mountain pass in hot summer heat. I took it easy, and later discovered TPS was blocking throttle plate from opening more than halfway. I had some somewhat jerky transmission shifting and I noticed my oil gauge showing barely to first line after fully warm. (I checked recently and I have good pressure but that concerned me for 6 months). One day leaving work, my 4runner would not start. I thought I had turned the steering wheel and locked it or something so I messed around and after a few cranks it started rough but then ran fine. This happened again a day later. And again. Then it stalled at a stop light. Then it stalled while driving. Every time I would eventually get it to start, seemingly with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes 10 minutes and some cranking. Sometimes 40 minutes. I pulled code 12 and 13 one time during a hard start or stall and did see no spark one time. So took it to 'electrical' auto shop. Told them the codes and they could not duplicate issue. They told me to replace distributor. And or ECM. I swapped distributor under warranty. No longer have codes or stalling but still have completely random hard start. Cold, hot, doesn't matter. Sometimes just a couple cranks after a stumble start, sometimes really bad stumble and cranking like crazy. I installed fuel pressure gauge for a few days. 40 psi. Holds fairly steady at acceleration. Holds pressure for 15 minutes at 35-40psi after engine shutoff. Replaced Cat just in case that was issue..was 50% clogged anyway. That caused downpipe flange weld to crack, so had to fix that for two days of pure torture and weld the tiny aftermarket Cat that was 2.5 inchjes short and flange at wrong angle. ( I have California emissions truck btw, adding to the nightmare. It was built in Japan plant as I understand it though. The Cali plant made errors I hear.) My truck was broken into twice, and all work tools stolen as well as all 2 year acquired automotive tools . New window twice and both times they put the wrong tint in. I gave up by second time and just went with the terrible dark tinted window that was obviously completely different than any of the others. By now second power steering pump arrived. It sat on shelf for awhile as I knew it would be faulty again. But mine had slow leak since day one and finally I decided to try it. Yep, whines like crazy and steering is stiff as hell. buyautoparts.com garbage. There's more, it get's worse. But I'm done. Be glad if you have luck with a 3.0 setup. Mine has driven me insane

Great video. I think the biggest problem people run into is running cheap aftermarket parts on these motors. OEM parts are more money but simply work the best and will give you way less of a headache. Another thing too with these is they tend to leak oil on the back of the valve covers. I had to do mine a few times before with the fel pro ones then I tried the toyota gaskets and put some rtv sealant around the corners and it hasn't leaked since.

Using only OEM parts , and using genuine Toyota Red Long Life coolant mixing yourself in a measuring container (not trusting anyone else) 60% or 65% coolant, & 40% distilled water from Target or Walmart & pre-mixing before putting in your radiator. This is all key. So when I got my runner back from the engine builder this year, 9 months later I hear the "chirping" coming from the engine. It is a familiar sound to me, some pulley bearing outside the engine block going bad. It was a recently installed fan pulley bracket, the bearing was binding and the fan wobbled. The bracket looked not even dirty. I didn't install it. It wasn't an Aisin or Toyota branded part. I think it was a Dorm&#@n and some of you know what that means. I replaced with an OEM.

All we did was modify the axle to put the 3rd member however the axle housing had to be modified to fit the 3rd member the e locker works perfectly but when on the street or highway you can hear the gears rubbing with the axle housing which means not enough room was made for them we hope they will grind and make room for themselves otherwise we need to take them out and figure out how to make more space Agile Woodsman

Great video. You know quite a bit about getting the most out of this engine. My 1991 sr5 2wd has about 259,000 miles on it and I consider it to be a reliable and fun daily driver. Of course, I've maintained it since about 2000 because I had issues with dealership maintenance. I can't understand why these engines failed with automatic transmissions because they are/were always in the best rpm range for best operation. I believe these engines lost credibility because they are basically high-rev engines (8,000) which wasn't considered by the rock-climbing crowd who overwhelmingly favored the 2.4L historically proven engine. My 3.0 has been very reliable and loves to roll at 85-95 mph without a problem, even while dragging a 1987 chevy cavalier on a vehicle hauler through Arkansas from Fayetteville to Little Rock. From about 50,000 to 325,000 miles, I chose to use premium gas because of a rattling sound coming from the engine under hill-climbing stress. after I adjusted the valves and did other significant maintenance on the truck, I remembered an old school intervention. I started advancing the engine timing slowly, then evaluating the results (I had already installed a new plastic radiator which ran slightly cooler that my third original). I stopped timing advance when I arrived at 15 degrees before TDC, at least I believe I'm stating it right. The engine has more power than when new and it runs slightly cooler. To me, that defies logic, but it is what it is. It's still fun to drive because I have no need to floor it in third gear at 1,500 rpm. Today, I will replace the leaky clutch line extension on the passenger side of the engine, replace the expansion valve and o-rings in the cooling system, and replace the plenum, intake, and valve cover gaskets on both sides. This engine has not been treated well by me except to stroke it with timely maintenance and upkeep. BTW, the engine oil I use is Rotella T4 with triple protection - 15-w-40 for 5 years so far. Any issues with this truck are things that weren't right when it was new and Toyota couldn't resolve them. That was the biggest crock of buying this truck new after others put 88 miles on it test-driving it and refusing to buy it. I have no regrets.

I was told by a mechanic who listened to it that it was the 4th piston rod, and it could be. I also wonder about valve adjustments, etc. I am at a loss with this and don’t want to sell it, or spend a fortune swapping the motor. Do you have any advice or ideas?

I have a 1990, 3.0 V6, 2 wheel-drive, 5 sp, Extra cab pick-up with 310k miles. When starting cold engine, the engine will race at about 2000 to 2500 rpm for about one to two minutes before it backs off to a normal idle of around 850 to 900 rpm. I feel it is unhealthy for a cold engine to do this and would like to adjust the "start-up" idle down, but have heard that it is only possible to do this by replacing the throttle body, which is hard to find. Any suggestions? Otherwise, I take care of my Toyota pick-up; best vehicle I've ever owned. Thanks.

I hear you. But it is designed that way. Back on those days you had the cold start injector, which is basically an early fuel injection version of a choke, like carburetors had. I'd live with it. It won't hurt it. The only damage during start up is that second it takes for oil to be pumped up and get flowing to the top of the motor. All engines suffer from that unless you have a pre-start priming system. We used to be able to buy those back in the 80's and 90's! I wouldn't worry about it. And grats on the 300K mile club!!

First off, thanks for the great video. I'm going to buy my future mother-in-law's '89 4x4 Pickup with the 3VZ-E and I have a few questions. Hers has the A340H automatic transmission/transfer case. Which transmission do you have, manual or automatic? Do you think the A340H is any good or should I look to swap to a manual? Cooling. Should I upgrade the engine oil and transmission fluid coolers? How do you feel about electric fans? Also, are headers the best way to deal with the exhaust crossover heat? I want to keep the truck as stock as possible for a while and plan to use the best parts. I'm going to check the VIN at the dealer to see if the head gasket recall has been done. If so, I'll check compression and if it's good, I'm gonna roll with it.
@AgileWoodsman
4 жыл бұрын
Yes you got the right ideas for sure. As far as headers I think it's a good option. I imagine that requires the EGR delete, maybe? So be careful with that but the tradeoff of losing that hot crossover is probably worth it. Electric fans are fine, just make sure you have a temp sensor for it and that it's set for the right temperature range. And use a shroud of course. The automatic trans, I have manual, which tend to be more durable and with the 95 and earlier trucks, work better with the lower horsepower motors. But I dont recall hearing about them being unreliable. Maybe cruise through the Yotatech forums. I would probably opt for a manual swap at some point though, just for drivability reasons if nothing else. Other than that your other thoughts are right on.check that stuff out, and see that the head gaskets were done. Check for other TSB's too, for instance I found that Toyota would replace the steerylinkages for free, but it wasnt a full recall. So I got my steering rebuilt for no charge! Goid luck and pop back if you need anything else!

Appreciated this video much. I have a question to a weird problem I'm having on my 90 3VZE. Suddenly cylinders 3 and 5 stopped firing. A constant miss on both. My first thought was on no, head gasket !! So I ran compression tests on the entire motor. I was shocked to find out that all cylinders were at 150-155. Well, that's a good thing, but figuring out why they aren't firing is a issue. I checked plugs, wires, spark....it was fine. I checked for vacuum leaks (smoker) found a couple little ones and fixed. I'm thinking now of fuel issues, but, I just can't imagine two injectors quit at the same time. Soon I'll be checking injector wiring. Ok, I'll stop,. But do you, or anyone out there have any ideas, or experience with cylinders 3 & 5 misfire issues. Thanks in advance
