    This popped up a few months ago, but silenced itself after a week or two. Then popped up again a few weeks later, and again silenced itself after a week or two. Van had about 105,000 miles at the time. Took it to a (Mom and Pop) dealer who I don't usually use (much smaller than my local...

    Just did my 5K services for 2015 Sienna which primary for tire rotations. I notices original OEM metal tire value caps replaced with plastic caps. These are silver color, looks cheap and not easy noticeable. I wonder it recommended by Toyota or shop try to do a parts swap?

    On my wife's '99 Sienna, I took the throttle body out in order to get to the IAC valve to really clean it. However, I took off the plate that has the flat spring and gray plastic cap in the hole. They fell out in the cleaning pan. My two main questions are: What position should the "shaft" with...

    I want to drain the coolant from my 2007 Sienna. Haynes manual says there are two valves on the engine block, one on the front side, one on the rear. I found the one on the rear, but cannot see or feel one on the front. Where should I be looking? Does it look and function just like the one...

    Hi, So I bought valve stem seals Fel-pro SS72878-3 from O'reilly, for 2004 Sienna. They need to be ordered and you wait for 3+ days. They came in two plastic bags, 12 in each. There is also a plastic installation tubing in each bag. There is no words on bags which is intake vs exhaust...

    I am trying to replace the front valve cover gasket on my 2005. The procedure has been documented in other threads except for one detail regarding the bolts [as far as i can tell]. There are approximately 6 to 8 10mm cover bolts and 2 or 3 that look like a stud with an inverted torx head on...

    I bought this 2004 XLE Limited van in May of this year. A the weather started getting cooler, I noticed a valve rattle type noise, when cold,at 2500 rpm just before changing gears. After driving the van 4 or 5 miles, the noise stops. I googled this problem and found several posts with a similar...

    So I have a bad intake valve as discovered by comression testing (you can hear and feel the air coming through the intake with the valves shut when I put compressed air into #2 cylinder.) Can I repair and or replace the 1 head or do I have to do both heads at the same time? I was looking at...

    I have a 2004 Toyota sienna with 98,000 miles. The check engine light recently came on and I took it to a mechanic who ran and did a diagnostic test. It turns out its the evap vent control valve/canister that is stuck. I'm not a mechanic (nor mechanically inclined), but what I understand from...

    Hi all, My air recently quit in our van. I discovered the clutch was not engaging even when I hooked direct voltage to it. After pricing a new clutch I just ordered a reman compressor w/clutch. Installed the new compressor and pulled a vacuum. No leaks so I began charging the system with freon...

    I know there is an older post on this topic, so I wanted to give it a refresher in case no one is following the oldie. My 2004, 97,000 miles, Sienna emits white smoke at start up in the morning ONLY. Throughout the rest of the day, it's fine. A toyota master tech said it was the valve...

    Cleaned the valve today using carb cleaner. After 114k miles the "valve" inside still rattled , though sluggishly. Facing the engine ,a flashlight helps, look to the rear beyond the radiator cap. It is aluminum colored , all metal , and screwed into the rear valve cover. Attached to it is a...
