okay, i read through about 10 pages or so, to make sure i don't get the dumb girl card played on me for asking a recently answered question :thumbsup:
Stats: 91 4runner - 4cylinder - 22re
Problems:
* no power (even for a 4cylinder it's really bad) - we did a complete tune up, and changed the oil about 3 times already (for various reasons)
* the oil pressure gauge (in dash) doesn't work - so we changed the sensor and it still doesn't work
* the timing chain was rattling really bad - so we changed the tensioner and the tracks, the chain ate that all up, including a little of the cover, but we didn't change that. it still rattles, so we were thinking the chain might be bad? so now we're going to change that, and the cover, and check if the tracks and tensioner are eaten up again, and i swear, if it is, i'm going to shoot myself in the head!! :headbang:
* he also dropped the oil pan and cleaned that out because all the eaten parts of the track and shards of metal from the cover was in there.
* it's still rattling really bad, and the oil pressure gauge isn't working, but i'm worried that oil might not be getting to where it needs to be? because when i drive there's no power, so my boyfriend tells me to pop it in 2nd, i do that, and still, no power, and the rattling gets louder, so i just pull off to the right lane and baby her up the hills or whatever. then a few days ago i did that and as i was climbing a hill i smelt a burning smell and it started smoking in my cab! i pulled over, contemplated a tow, and called my boyfriend who said to drive home. we switched cars yesterday and he supposedly checked it, and test ran it, and "NOTHING'S WRONG" so i'm basically hallucinating this! :kookoo:
* one more thing, i'm driving to work this morning and the smoke starts again, and i keep driving, because HE says it's fine SO WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!! anyway, it happens again, only MORE SMOKE! so i pull over, & open the hood while it's still running and i've got this geyser of a leak somewhere?? but you can totally tell somethings not right because there's oil all over the driver's side of the motor, sprayed up to the hood, and i look under the car and it's splattering onto the ground.
i'm so pissed right now! :bash:
can someone who actually knows what they're talking about please help me!? i'm seriously gonna cry :sosad:
