Could be bad AC clutch relay. Just replaced mine ($11 at autozone). It is located in the relay box just behind the battery.

sounds like you may need to replace the idle speed control motor(actual sensor)its not reading the signal from the ecu properly hope this helps you by the way this sensor is self adjusting if that doesent solve your problem then have your timing checked to make sure your still in time.

Hi if by mounts you mean engine mounts there are 4 one at top left, second on right on top of transmition. And one front and rear of the center cross member. You will need 14, 17, 19. MM Sockets and spanners. Hope this helps. If not tell me which mounts. Regards Jim...

if you don't even hear the starter click, it's the starter, relay, or battery (turn your headlights on and try to start. if the lights dim a lot, get a new battery). if it clicks but doesn't spin, battery or starter. if it turns over but doesn't start, fuel or spark problem.

There are freeze plugs on the back of the engine block and on the cylinder heads. I would suggest you replace ALL of the freeze plugs now instead of having another one leak later on.

HI the cheaper method to begin with under these circumstances ,remove CAT from exhaust system replace with straight pipe. Check cyl 1 for fuel ,spark and compression .Normally when removing the CAT on other cars the engine performed normally .Fault codes verify exhaust system blocked.

sounds like a wheel bearing or axle shaft to me. A wheel bearing will grind or roar or groan. An axle shaft will click or pop. Both repairs will require you to dismantle the front wheel hub, separating the lower control arm from the steering knuckle. A front wheel alignment will probably be needed following the repair. A good mechanic can knock this out in a couple of hours, a shadetree might take all weekend.

it could be low on oil the steering is stiff or jerky and noisy

-Buy it. Good Luck

When it gets loose even a little bit. But if its a chain you can squeeze it in the middle between the gears and it shouldn't move

would be your water pump going out, do you have overheat problem in freeway? if you do, you water pump is going out.

P10071 is not a good code But P0171 is B1S1 Air /Fuel ratio sensor defective double check if you are talking for P0171 and replace the sensor wit DENSO 234-4149(4 CYLINDER ENGINE) DENSO 234-9042(6 CYLINDER ENGINE) Good luck

YES it is OK even better as long as you use the same grade as recommended by Toyota.

It would be nice if we knew what first aid you have done so far. If lights, or any other electrical thingy does not work on a car, the first option is to check the fuses. They are clearly marked on the fuse box. If the fuses are OK, check the bulbs. They are designed with two filaments, one for dim, one for bright on each bulb. It is entirely possible that both bright filaments have blown, with the dims still working. The third place to look is at the relays, but it is unlikely, though quite possible, that you have a problem there. The relays are the little black boxes in the fuse box, also marked. Finally, and entirely unlikely, is the dimmer switch. These have been known to cause a problem but as I say, very unlikely.

Common problems that can cause the Check Engine light to come on In can be something like a bad oxygen sensor, faulty mass airflow sensor, failed catalytic converter, worn-out spark plugs, ignition wires, a loose gas cap or a clogged-up EGR system. Newer cars have a lot more electronics, which means, many other things could go wrong too. It's practically impossible to find the problem without at least scanning the vehicle and retrieving the stored code(s). On the other hand, once you know the code that caused your Check Engine light, it's not that difficult to do some research and find out common problems for your car's make and model that can cause the particular code. Why Check Engine light comes on

Check for disconnected wires under seat.

Check your alternator if you can get it to start and stay running. If not then you may want to consider taking it off the car and having a parts store bench test it. It's most likely that.

Attached to the throttle body.

Check the cv's and motor mounts. Hopefully it's not the trans
