Ok so very smooth idle. 326300 miles. Smooth on freeway and climbing the sierras.



Here are two pics from today.
My baby.



a lame code.



Too rich.

Any ideas? I already replaced one 02 sensor and cleaned MAF.

No time to read back.... But CAT? My issue was Nox... everything else passed on the 15/25mph tests.... but the Nox kept getting me. New cat,>>> 0, 0, 0, 0, LOL... Ok, not ZERO... but a big "WOW" from the smog guy, haha.

New 02, Cleaned MAF..... Both 02's new? The second is the one reading the 'Rich' Condition??? Or is it? I'm not sure. I'm sure you'd have a 2nd Bank Code if it was bad, ... hmmmmmmm. Not too knowledgeable on OBD2... but watching nonetheless... as I'll have one eventually, I'm sure.

Best wishes, SD... and Have a great Christmas, etc.!

PS> I thought I remembered a guy with one like yours saying his Charcoal Can kept causing him issues. Not so much on the older rigs... but I think he said, "On the 5VZE, it's one often overlooked".... Just throwing stuff out there... Easy to test, right? :/ lol

My cat was bad. I swapped it out just six months ago.

This code was same code thrown when motor swap first happened. Last summer.

Engine from 01 tundra. junkyard 3.4 L

New plugs, valve cover gaskets n grommets, radiator, belts, timing belt, stat, water-pump, moved oil cooler, crank pulley bolt, altenator. Maybe i should get new vacum, air hoses?

When this scanner clears the code, is it the same as resetting the ECU?

Also would it make a difference which plenums i used. 4runner or tundra? Im not sure which one i used.

Friends I wanted to tell all of you about a great jdm importer that sells awesome low mileage Toyota engines. It is www.alltoyotaengines.com

The steelership wants nearly 1k for repairs. eff that i can find and did a 3.4 v-6 from a surfer in ob for 1000 bucks with 90k miles.

is a motor swap difficult? i have a garage, some tools. one day to remove? one day to reinstall. back to work mon AM? is this possible with proper tools engine lift etc...

3rd gen limited 4x4 V-6

thanks in advance. I have brothers truck so I am doing this day by day.
