Any recommendations? I've got some throttle body cleaner, however I thought that might be a bit harsh on the rubber. I've also got a small bottle of isopropyl alcohol that I use for lens cleaning, but I doubt that would be strong enough to get rid of build-ups.

BTW I want to clean the inside of them, not the outside.

P.S. Does anybody know a good way to access the EGR VSV on a 1991 5S-FE (late 1991 model, not early)? It's bolted-on under the intake manifold, making it impossible to access from the top without its removal. Can it be accessed from underneath? Toyota say that my jolty acceleration is due to the VSV being broken (which worries me, since that would suggest that a previous mechanic broke it and said nothing... since it's not merely 'faulty').

      Advice needed

      Hi All, im dave from carrum downs. A mate who is a mechanic and I, who isnt a mechanic and with basic car knowledge. We installed a turbo into my 2.7ltr 2003 Toyota hilux 3RZN154R engine, ever since we got it going its been miss firing, back firing, running lean to sparkplug loaded with carbon. Everything but running right. Can anyone please help. My mate has told me the engine has changed the firing order to the downstroke would it change the engines firing order to its exhaust downstroke. I don't understand if or how this could be possible. We have tried everything almost. From fuel pressure regulators to about to install a distributor. To buying and about to install haltech 750. Im in need of some good advice to understand where we have gone wrong. It would be greatly appreciated. ✌️ Daveo

      Android auto

      I have the Cruiser Hybrid 2024 and can confirm that AA wireless is not working, still needs the cable. I'm a bit disappointed because my phone won't fit anymore in the wireless charger tray.

      Hi!

      Hi to all! Derek here, recently got our RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid 2024 from almost 2 years of wait. Before that we have and still keeping our trusty 2008 Corolla. I join the club because I'm a bit overwhelm by the features and the new technology that came with the RAV4, my wife is afraid to drive it because of this, more fun for me. 😄 Cheers, Derek

      Timing issue, 1994 st204 celica

      I’ve got a 1994 st204 celica with a 5sfe motor, it runs perfectly for 15-20 until it warms up then it starts misfiring and stops. Then when the engine cools down it will start and run perfectly until it warms up again. I have replaced the igniter, internal distributor coil, distributor cap, rotor button, spark plugs, spark plug leads. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      Car Service and Car Tune Up?

      I think this is normal, auto choke engaged when starting and comes off after the engine warms up. Giving gas resets the choke. Herb

      Hilux Workmate 2x4 bulbar installation...

      I've got a few questions regarding the installation of a bull bar on my 2006 Toyota workmate Hilux 2x4. First off, the bulbar I am looking at will weigh around 30kg and I was wondering if would need to try and get some heavier duty shock absorbers and springs to compensate for the extra weight. Keep in mind that this little 2x4 gets a run for its money and is put mainly through the scrub, basic 4wd tracks, and corrugation. Secondly, The bull bar I have purchased is for a KUN 2005-2012 Hilux body shape, which from brief research will fit. A bit of confirmation would be lovely in terms of will it actually fit properly. Any help and or insight would be lovely.

      Check the spark plugs. Also consider cleaning the throttle body and idle air control [IAC] valve. Search YouTube for the relevant videos for your vehicle on how to do this.
