Thanksgiving Special: Misfire P0302 -'96 Toyota 4-Runner

[@charlesmiller5078]

A brother that can fix your truck, what else can you ask for. Looks like you had a nice Thanksgiving...Stay Warm

[@williamdowell7646]

The 3.4 is a fantastic engine

[@944play]

Too bad it's so ugly. And thirsty. And noisy.

[@dankoldenhoven4997]

@@944play looks pretty with a supercharger

[@547Rick]

Mechanics day off. LOL! Great fix!

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

Yup. Mines a 2000. From California. As u know I'm from around Pitts. Mine came from Cali a year before I got it 3 years ago. Frame was original and brand new looking. I jacked it up. Did a phosphoric acid treatment for 3 days strait. And then did about ten coats of boiled linseed oil. In every cavity every square inch. I love that truck

[@gtemnykh]

+Jason Curry The '96 you see in the video has the underside and frame completely saturated in Eric O's favorite Fluid Film. It was Ziebart-ed when new and didn't see much winter use from 2000-2012 until I bought it so the frame is incredibly clean for a Northern truck. I plan to keep it that way so every fall I spray down every nook and cranny, inside the frame, on all of the brake and fuel lines, parking brake adjusters, and especially the inside of the back bumper. If you haven't done so recently, take a look at what's hiding in those bumper corners, I must have scooped out about a pound of dirt from each one!

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

+gtemnykh Yup I bought mine x couple years back. Original owner was an office worker. Never saw salt. Actually was out west till 2010 ish. Then is raked. I bought it. You could literally eat off the underside. I do regular oil baths myself. Mine is a 5 speed I'm at 150000. On original timing belt. I gotta change that. But. Love it otherwise

[@brendanschroeder1862]

What does that treatment do?

[@ziggassedup]

Nicely sorted out mate.

[@fieldsofomagh]

You're looking well fed after Thanksgiving. Not much left on the turkey I suppose.Was thinking of callin over, will have to do with some beef. That dielectric grease is handy when dealing with Eht. The old tv with the eht circuit was a case in point.The ole water test really does the job.Can't beat having a mechanic in the family.

[@emptypocketsgarage9378]

Dielectric grease! I'm waiting on the second part in that series. I've proven it works and doesn't interfere with conductivity.

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

I own a tacoma. Same engine. Awesome engine. 150,000 on it. No noises. No leaks. Lots if power. And oil is clean as can be.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

+Jason Curry Hell yeah man! The 3.4 V6 is one of my all-time favorite engines. Truly "bulletproof"...many Toyota trucks out there with over 300k miles. if only the frames wouldn't rust!

[@gtemnykh]

+Jason Curry Agreed. Mine's just a baby with 124k miles, uses absolutely zero oil between 5k intervals. Excellent flat torque curve, and I consistently get a hand calculated 20 mpg in mixed/highway driving. The Aisin automatic transmission is a trooper as well, the only thing to watch out for is the ATF/coolant mixing when the internal transmission line starts to leak inside of the radiator. I've bypassed mine with an external B&M transmission cooler. Easy 1-2 hour installation with basic hand tools, seems to be working great.

they do not rust in florida

Good stuff Ivan

[@somerandomguy3868]

sweet I love dielectric grease any connections I have to access gets a thin carefully applied coating driving a 01 trooper in central NJ has made me this way ground wire corrosion has always proven to be the culprit

[@kkovler1]

Were you using an led test light that was grounded to help determine if spark was escaping? If so why didn't the high voltage blow out the led?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

+kkovler1 Nope just a regular ole' incandescent! In fact I don't even own an LED test light lol

[@kkovler1]

+motoYam82 That surprises me that you don't own an LED test, because I thought you been using one when you test computer controlled circuits with your Verus scan tool. regular incandescent test lights from what I understand should not be used to test computer controlled circuits!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

+kkovler1 Where did you hear that myth? I would wager that the incandescent test light is the safest auto electronics diagnostic tool on the market :)

[@snowhiterover]

Dielectric grease and anti seize compound are not used enough on vehicles.

[@braxtonbunner4990]

I have the same 4Runner. Small world, lol. Can't kill the ole 3.4, much better than the 95-pre 3.sl0w V6 blowing head gaskets all the time..

[@trainer2018]

Looks like you got some cold weather Ivan, me too, froze my butt off doing a defroster motor troubleshooting video on a Eldorado Bus. Know what it's like being in the cold weather and having to work in it. Hey how about you do some secondary ignition videos showing different faults, I am a little new to Secondary Anaylsis myself. I like learning new things and picking people's brains, lol.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

+busjockey1 It was in the 60s the day before...I was mountain biking in shorts!!!

[@trainer2018]

Sounds like Illinois weather to me, hit and miss,lol.

[@techsavantlove]

In the video, the spark looked entirely orange, with almost no blue, even after drying things off. Was it?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

+douglas “The flame is dead” lee hmmm I guess it was orange... What would that mean? It did jump almost an inch to the test light, so I didn't give the color much thought...

[@techsavantlove]

+motoYam82 __I've always learned, or been taught, that an orange spark is a weak spark, and a strong spark is always going to be a blue spark. That is what Danner always teaches. But if it jumped a good gap, but was orange, I don't know what that would mean.

[@markferraro5250]

thanks ivan nice video

[@fdseoulsandiego6514]

Married to the jobs much Ivan??? I hope you charged your Brother double times for your services.

[@upallnight888]

+FDSeoul San Diego Ivan will be lucky if his brother brought him a beer. I'm a licensed Architect and I've done homes for family and never charge them my usually 6% fee.

[@gtemnykh]

+FDSeoul San Diego Oh believe me I tried! He graciously declined. He's done larger jobs on the truck where I did pay the standard labor rate (brought him the parts). For this quality of work, it's laughable that the main line dealers get to charge what they do for their parts swapping! I prefer to drive out 7.5 hours out to Pine Hollow Auto than down the street to a Toyota dealer here in Indy (assuming I don't do the work myself).

the rust is eating the engine all the way . ..

[@andrewcimochowski]

those dont look like toyota spark plug wires.... if they dielectric grease to work right I would say they need to be thrown in the trash

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

+Andrew Cimochowski They are NGK wires...usually they make a great product! Don't know why the ends of these didn't want to sit tight on the coils...

[@brendanschroeder1862]

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics was this just because they were old or is it these wires in general? I have the same ones and trying to troubleshoot
