My 1973 Ford Mustang had 421,000 miles on it before I parked it for a lot of gray smoke out the tailpipe.
I say fuel injector or injector pump related…..(at the 1:36 mark)….and at the 11:00 mark I'm completely wrong. I need to get my own scanner.
With this many miles I would compression test first
The new Sienna is a great piece of engineering. The m.p.g. is GREAT!!!
Thnx, Happy Easter.
Toyota sedans & vans are described as “boring” vehicles, and for the most part they are, but they sure a hell are reliable vehicles, especially those that are maintained.
It’s amazing, back then they actually built cars that lasted. Now days they sit parked at the dealerships and no one offers a bumper to bumper 100,000 mile warranty any more. You pay expensive shop repairs with less then 50,000 miles on the odometer. Things have sure changed, but not for the better.
Thats a lot of miles, – but how do we know the engine is original ?
Only the alternator? Would love to know the brand of brake pads, as well as all the fluids he uses for the drivetrain and cooling.
How many timing belts have been replaced at that milage
500K miles and it's biggest issues are burning a quart of oil every 500 miles & the spark plug wires were no good. That's Toyota.
I also could have gotten cheap spark plug wires when i replaced them in my Subaru in 2015 @106K miles. But I spent over $35 getting NGK. And bought NGK Iridium IX plugs. The car runs very nicely.
Hi Ivan, great video. A real testament to to Toyota’s reliability…The owner was only let down by sub-par, aftermarket ignition leads.
Anyone who keeps a car that long and for that many miles is one smart cookie. Even smarter, calling you in to find the problem!
I had the same thing happen when i bought some Autolite junk wires for a Nissan Frontier I owned. Straight out of the box I had a misfire. Swapped with a known good wire it ran fine. Stay away from those junk Autolite wires. Denso or dealer wires for me from now on.
What would be a good set of spark plug wires from say an Advanced Auto Parts or O;Reilly's? Thank you Ivan
I heard some good things about the 1MZ. If this is a typical example, it's probably one of the best automotive engines out there, along with the 5VZ-FE perhaps.
I have a 03 sienna with 221k on it and I like the van I just hope it keeps going for a while. It runs and drives good I do have an issue with the lights kind of flickering for some reason and my struts are a little worn out
Hey Ivan, quick question about your scope setup. Did you have an attenuator on channel one or were you not concerned about the voltage spike on the control wire(zener diode, circuit layout, ignition setup, etc)?
You make it look so easy, great job!
Autolite plugs are not junk they work really well in a FOMOCO.
Once again, going cheap on maintenance costs much more in diagnostic time than was saved in parts. Ended up buying the OEM high voltage wires anyway. This was a needless repair, but well done. … Best get that exhaust manifold repaired before it creates consequences.
