belt? accessory belt? or cam belt.? the FSM has it , get one. or alldata.com, covers ours in USA>? log in and look. what engine, ? here is the wiki, showing why i must ask the engine. on all cars. The same 2.4 L four-cylinder (22RE) and 3.0 L V6 (3VZ) engines were available in rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive layouts. The Hilux Surf version for the Japanese market was also available with a range of diesel engines, including a 2.4 L turbodiesel 2L-TE I4 up to 1993, followed by a 3.0 L turbodiesel 1KZ-TE I4. A small number were also made with a normally aspirated 2.8 L diesel 3L I4. A small number were also produced with a 2.0 L 3Y I4 naturally aspirated gasoline engine.

Check the timing and compression of the engine. It sounds like you either have a blown head gasket or a the timing jumped.

either works.

rule 1 on all otto cycle gas engines. idle is the last thing to work right. on EFI , its under control at all times. but if the engine runs bad, it goes out of control. IS THE CHECK ENGINE warn, lamp glowing running, ???? yes, why not get the DTC codes, (flash error codes now) when it runs bad, is it misfiring, and shaking engine, weak power from engine,, bogging, or only stalling. low rpm is near stall and is same thing. 1500rpm is perfectly normal for any cold engine. Hot , its not. first off check all fuses. The idle controls are called ISC, "idle speed controller" its a slave valve and ECU logic and servo controls. the ECU works overtime , keeping idle right. if the ISC sticks, it fails. if the EGR sticks open , the ISC loses control if the you get intake (induction) air leaks it loses control same for misfire, gross, flooding. same for gross lean. so how do we do this? find a cause.\ easy we give that long missed 60,000 mile tune up. and during that i clean the ISC and EGR main valves. on any old car like this, wow, its sure to be a mess, if not serviced. then make sure the EGR main is closed, engine hot. i see if my ISC is trying to work. i then check my fuel mixtures. to see if the engine EFI reaches and holds closed loop. oops, it cant be cause the 0xygen sensor died, 100k miles ago. its dead. no OTC scan tools for 1995 ( sure hackers have em) so is very hard to get this information, i use a scope to watch my oxy sensor, if stuck rich i fix that first. if stuck lean , i find the exhaust crank causing it. or other cause... long list of tests. in a real shop the start at the tail pipe end, OMG this puppy is rich as a pig and work forward, is start at the oxysensor i get it working by any means., then fix idle if not already magically working. as most do (cleaned) here is a very common example. 1: EGR sticks open at idle. IDLE RPM drops like rock. ( it must) 2: ECU sees illegal RPM and opens the ISC fully, to no avail. some cars EFI hunts the ISC causing surging. others ECU just slams the ISC wide open and does a software hope thing. in this case, does nothing,due to gross EGR misfire effects. the idle controls are a SERVO,. a closed loop servo system. it regulates idle until , something horrible happens. it fails when conditions are outside it's range of Authority.

radio? you mean it wont play, engines start. the radio has many modes, Radio Am/fm both dead. how about the other features, like cassette, or ???? others, it might have. stock radio? or not.

I have a 95 Toyota 4-Runner and the dipstick measures 18-1/2" in length.

Could be several things, start with the simple first, check to see if your engine coolant temperature is normal at warm up, if not check your coolant level and make sure it's topped up to correct level, and at the same time make sure your coolants condition is good if not flush and refill for proper maintenance, check to see if your thermostat is good, if not replace, I myself had this same type of issue with a ford explorer that ended up being a broken blend door actuator and door because the plastic they use on those units become brittle with the hot and cold temp use, hope these suggestions help, god bless

IT would that one broke and got under the other causing it to break as well. check all pulleys to see if there is a bearing problem that cause the failure by siezing

run fault codes and check for sensor/s fault. have a pressure test done on the fuel manifold to check for correct pressure ---pump---pressure regulator and filter. Check that the cat converter is not cracked and blocking the exhaust system

If you disconnect the wiring for the injector and it still floods, the injector is usually stuck open.

Problem is there at the bulb, not the bulb itself, but the seating of the bulb in the light socket. The base of the bulb has two small tangs on it to keep it secure in the socket. You push the bulb in, and then turn it clockwise just a small amount for the tangs to catch in slots. Then the bulb cannot be pulled out of the socket without turning it back counterclockwise just a bit. If the bulb seats but still doesn't make good contact in the socket, the problem is the socket. The base of the bulb has a button like contact point on it. That button contacts a similar button in the socket base. The buttons are electrical contact points. Your bulb and socket is not keeping the contact points together.

Hi John,there should be an emergency release near the base of the shifter (maybe a small red button,sometimes a slot into which you fit the ignition key). Then drive the vehicle to an auto electrician to sort out the wiring problem.

that's funny, there is no electrical 4wd, its got gears. all have gears. what some do is have electric acatuators to shift or just to engage front locking devices. who to tell on old car> 1: look, is the front axle with outboard hub lockers, manual; or auto? bingo 100% mechanical, under newer cars the front axle (look at it) see motor pump or vaucum lines that run the auto locking axle. 2: look at shifter, is it a lever, , with linkage to transfer case, bingo mech. if only switches, its electrical. see FSM or alldata.com i look for you. and...... I see manual locking front hubs, (no elect) and the transfer case? most are linkage but there are 2 transfer case options RF1A (counter gears) or VF1A planetary gear reduction unit. transfer case. the dash has a simple idiot lamp that means the tranfer case thinks its in 4wd but never really knows for sure. its just a switch. i never look at it. i feel my gears at all times by seat of pants.

check fuses its bad. sure is not stock , no DVD in 1995.

What transmission does it have? Auto or manual?

surf?

ask a real question, your Cell drop comms? how to pull; a fuse, how to find them what size what type. where to buy you ,know,a real question.
