Thanks for the reply! As I understand things, that temp sensor is on the back of the 3.0. Would you happen to know where specifically?

Flooding

I have an 89 3.0 Runner that has trouble starting. If I try to start it without giving it gas, it will turn over and immediately die by flooding--I took two front spark plugs out and were doused...

Yes--it's when the hubs are locked regardless of 4WD or 2WD. So is the locker theory out then?

Hub Help

I've got an 89 4Runner with a solid axle from an unknown year; the PO put it on. The 4WD works great, but when I have the manual hubs engaged, it has a really difficult time turning. When I...

I know there's a way because my mechanic did it. I think there's a device that you can strap on in place of the radiator cap and manually pump.

You want to jump Te to E1 if I remember right. Make sure it's a good connection. You'll hear the RPMs drop and see the engine light flash.

I just put a torque wrench on it and put the specified 116 ft/lbs on it. There's still a 5mm-7mm space between the pulley and the oil seal. Is this normal? It's torqued on to spec, is this even a...

Installing Crankshaft Pulley

I've pushed and tightened the bolt and there seems to be a gap between the pulley and the oil seal. I don't remember it being there before. It's supposed to be flush with the timing cover & oil...

What's my other option: rolling it in? Extracting the block?

Head Bolt Helicoil

*Sigh* I tightened down 9/10 head bolts in the correct sequence with the correct torque. The very last one keeps spinning. I suppose the threads in the block are degraded.

I assume helicoil is...

Crankshaft Pulley

Well, I've hit a wall. I've gotten my center bolt out, and I've gotten the four smaller bolts out of the pulley. Now what? I can't seem to get the pulley loose! Any suggestions?
