That avalon looked to burn a good amount of oil on the cold start.. But we all know toyota!
@fakejeepman065 күн бұрын
@toyotatacomaguy23 It might have been because the coil pack I replaced was not working at all, so some more fuel and oil than normal was probably in the combustion chamber.

My family loves Toyota and Honda! My mom used to have a Tempo, then a Taurus, both crapped out on her, so she got a 2004 Corolla brand new, had zero issues and still misses it even though it was sold in 2010. My Avalon and my dad's Tundra, which are both on my channel as well, have had fairly few, and non major issues considering their age and mileage.

@fakejeepman067 күн бұрын
@@ReidsAviation That's the only issue I've had with my Avalon, and it was just a coil pack. It started as occasionally stuttering in parking lots, then one day it decided to stop working and started misfiring. In the video that was posted earlier today I replace it, and it's perfectly fine after. But yeah, it might be time to do spark plugs on your 4Runner 😅.
