Code po551 is for the steering sensor. It senses steering pressure and bumps up the idle a little to compensate for lower pressure. The switch number is 5269625 and costs approx 35.00. It is threaded into the back of the steering rack and is accessible from underneath the car. Unplug the electrical connector from the switch, clean with electrical cleaner, remove and replace switch, plug in electrical connector. Disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the check engine light. Hope this helps.

2008 toyota 4runner check eng

You may need to send it in for diagnostics. The engine light on is letting you know that the PCM has identified a fault. This requires the use of a scantool to read the stored codes within the PCM. Code readers usually help but a larger scantool tends to be more informative. It is normal to see the traction control and brake light warning lights turn on when the engine warning lamp illuminates. Please let me know if there is anything else. Good luck.

Po551 code

code po551 refers to power steering pressure(PSP) sensor/ switch--range /performance problem===causes --PS system--PSP sensor/switch
Have the power steering pressure checked as it may be a pump problem or just the sensor/switch.. Check the reservoir level as it may be lacking fluid.

Reinstalling the distributor can be tricky due to the worm gear. Did you verify that the rotor points to the #1 terminal when piston #1 is at tdc? Can you check the timing with a light?

I have a Gm Performance crate motor. 350/290hp. This enging requires a 32degree before top dead center total advance at 3000rpm. The indicator on the balancer is only set for 16 degree before top dead...

Ok,What you will need is called a timing tape. It is a piece of tape with timing degrees all the way around it and you install on your balancer so you can read the advance.This can be purchased from any perfomance store. just line up tdc on balancer with tdc mark on tape and wrap around your clean balancer. the other option is find someone with a timing light that will measure the advance.most higher grade lights will have an advance button that you push until Tdc is showing at timing marks and then you rread the advance on light.
