What's Wrong With The RAD VAN?!

[@bloodcraze18]

I originally started watching for the supras, but now I only watch for the RAD VAN!

[@RADIndustries]

Lol 😂

[@tommygunnz7154]

Think that van needs a 2JZ lol

[@NoClassic]

more van content!

[@slammedtenner]

I believe the wires you fixed are for the cold start injector. It looks to be a similar setup to a 22re

[@WeaselBurrito]

That is exactly what it is. I have 2 22re pickups

[@chesterneil9027]

I remember growing up with my dad's Toyota Lite Ace. Same thing opening up the hood but you have to remove the steering wheel because it does not go higher than usual. Man this van gives me feels

[@braydenestrada895]

CD-09 transmission, hydro, suspension, welded diff, that thing will rip. I love it when you work on the RADVAN dude, please do more videos like this whenever you work on it! I know you're constantly working on other cars to fund operating costs, but still - love the van footage!

[@sweetnlow01]

We with u today lets make it happen good luck homie

[@GftdHoodie]

what is the year and model of the van? i can check manufacturer spec of the trans before my auto shop semester ends.

[@Leofred2000]

Check the alu vin plate for what transmission and stuff it has

[@THAT2JZGTESUPRAXX]

Disconect the cold start and test it.

[@Zmarshall910]

congrats to Ola! crazy battle. never realised how big of a gap in skill level there is between pro 2 and pro. Dan its your turn now!!!

[@beagledad2478]

The Rad Van! Man this takes me back to my dad's Toyota mini van. I guess a little tune up made it cranky. Great video Dan

[@Rotard-mb5ys]

Washed out the cylinder walls with fuel from not disconnecting anything testing the starter. Rings / cylinders were slick. Took it getting fairly warm in the heat cycle to yet seat.

[@RADIndustries]

I think that sounds about right

[@Rotard-mb5ys]

RAD Industries Dan, good thing is it's a piston engine. They're a little more forgiving. Hate i missed you in Atlanta. Was looking forward to meeting you. Disability made the trip impossible. Next year!

[@xxTyphoid]

Love watching your video's, thanks for taking the time to make them

[@scialyticsteve]

I used to have one of these - same colour and everything. I loved driving it. Still my favorite vehicle of any I've owned. The rear wheel drive wasn't especially practical in Canadian winters, but it was fun to drive. One thing I distinctly remember is that you never had to slow down for speedbumps - the van just floated over them. I unfortunately had to get rid of it because it was getting too rusty (road salt with Canadian winters is brutal). The engine still ran butter smooth.

[@THAT2JZGTESUPRAXX]

Cold start injecter.

[@Gprime27]

Looks like you might have got some oil down the valve stem seals and into the combustion chambers which could make it hard to start kinda like hydro locking it

[@RADIndustries]

It was exactly what happened, I cranked it over with no plugs and is spit a little fuel and oil out. Then I put the plugs back in and it started up but had to burn off a little oil and it works fine now. I was pretty scared though for a few minutes 🤔

[@andrewj191]

Fuel in exhuast from turning over with injectors still connected.

[@GraeSkyeStudio]

Great content- thanks for the walk through and trouble-shoot. BTW- In case you don't already know- Once you pull the passenger seat, you can unbolt the panel that covers the whole passenger side of the van. Makes it much easier to change out the plugs, oil filter from the top and more areas hard to access otherwise. I've owned my 4x4 for years and am just starting to learn the mechanics and doing a bunch of work myself. Fun to learn, but a bear to work on sometimes. Keep up the posts and updates!

[@timmer_adv]

was all the smoke from when you were turning the motor w/o the plugs in and still had injectors squirting?

[@tommygunnz7154]

Timothy Marshall that was my guess hydrolock the motor with fuel.

[@Clem_Kadidlehopper]

Tommy GunnZ yeah because what he repaired was the cold start injector and it looks like it hung and flooded. Too bad he casnt hear me I was yelling cold start don't......and he did. Lol

[@carsbikeslife320]

Hey Dan that’s a cold start injector, no performance added there lol. Only reason I no that is cuz I’ve owned a couple 80s Toyota’s.

[@jonathanh3632]

sounds like you're not getting enough amperage to your starter. Give your battery terminals a good clean!

[@olysouth9653]

We need more van dan

[@travisjohnson6272]

Yeah looks like a cold start injector. My 83 Supra had one. Leaked a bit and caused my 5m to run rich. Also I am wondering if when you had the air filter off does your breather vent into that acordian pipe? Maybe you had some oil that was sitting there and got bumped into the engine when the pipe was angled up? Just s thought. The van is cool. Looks like a nightmare to work on. Imagine doing the timing in that thing, or a head gasket. Yikes.

[@stern1994]

Rad Van definitely needs a 2j swap, samsonas maybe?

[@jaymunk262]

how does it feel driving with the engine underneath you

[@ezassegai4793]

I was about to watch Formula Drift but then I saw Dans video and did the only right thing.

[@dasbronco]

get a blue tooth speaker and use your phone for music

[@robhawn2842]

You know what would get a zillion views? 2j the van! Or turbo at least. Lol

[@driftingpsycho86]

I think that is a cold start injector.

[@anthonysterling1]

E36 rear coils

[@dafugees18]

Aww man that #NoRadioLife is a #STRUGGLE my DOOOOOOD! Hit the Walmart they have the $20 Bluetooth radio on the cheap, #SavesLives #MusicIsLife #HangInThereBro #RadDan #Supra #Toyota #2JZNOShYT

[@07XR5]

Just a little 2JZ in the van and it will be right

[@poppess90]

2jz in the van !

[@Troooligt123]

Looks like the air flow sensor is the old style with a spring loaded plate, likely that it didn't like to be banged around and hold upside down, have seen those type do that before. It's a really awsome looking van by the way! And the starter just sounded like it was hitting top of tooth against top of tooth, thats nothing to worry about, just push the car in gear so it spins the flywheel like a mm, maby need to be changed if it keeps doing that. Keep it up dude, you are awsome!

[@ShilonMMz]

Hole in the piston?

[@yunaoyui1]

Very interesting content.

[@lolololol-cl2qp]

Could you possibly hook me up with a photo of all the air hoses and where to put em?

[@jakoblarsson679]

That van needs a jz

[@yungWilly-de2vv]

Rad dan u should be teaching tj how to drive brotha u should of made him leave the car with the VQ until he got the understanding n handling of the chassis first fuck i wish i could have all the money i wanted I'd be door glued with ya in a baddass surpa hopfully one day I can live my dream lol

[@jeepsterdaddy37]

Sounds like the battery was low from having the doors open so long.

[@nathangould448]

You should sr20 the rad van

[@diamoniquesmith9301]

The Struggle is real lol that Lil van is not on no game's first the radio then the leaks and then the white smoke woooooo stay up bro bro

[@Luckieoutdoors]

Please make it fast

[@frogchaser]

put a k20 in the van

[@oldguyracing1177]

Cold start injector. unplug it an see if it's better ? If so leave it unpluged! #enjoylife

[@REALSHYT666]

#raddanvan

[@paulmiranda3281]

Ah ha know the problem dosn't have a 2jgte

[@adamlapid5201]

Worn/old valve stem seals and oil leaked past the valve stem seals from adding oil after the oil change?

[@Clem_Kadidlehopper]

Adam Lapid no, it's a faulty cold start injector that he repaired the wires and flooded and hydrolocked the engine.

[@jonkidwell2489]

i think you had oil in your spark plug journal and it fell into the cylinder when pulled out the plug then locked the cylinder when you went to start it then when you turned it over by hand you put the oil in the exhaust freeing up the engine. then you started it and burned off the oil in the exhaust system.

[@Clem_Kadidlehopper]

Jon Kidwell faulty cold start injector. That's why it was like vapor locked then smoked like crazy running rich.

[@jonkidwell2489]

Possible and I'm not saying you're wrong but then I think it would happen every cold start. And it would be quite the coincidence that this happened right as they changed the plugs and no other time before. Again you may be right I'm not there in person to put hands on it.

[@RADIndustries]

Probably correct, all the symptoms line up.

[@dittmarbrosracingtv2370]

Excess fuel burning out

[@blad5539]

Weyyy

[@naallday4125]

Hell yes that's a shit set up but imagine replacing exhaust studs on a l20et r30 skyline which have Intake and exhaust on same side.. iffy

[@revitupautomotive]

2j swap the radvan

[@anthonysterling1]

Jz swap asap lol

[@SaltySpitoon1]

Idle control valve

[@Clem_Kadidlehopper]

Gary Garland no cold start injector.

[@hamishgray2293]

2jz swap the van

[@allana5930]

P.c.v.
