Hi,
a relay is a switch that takes a small amperage signal to operate a small electromagnet which in turn connects a higher amperage feed. IE when you pull the switch to flash you headlights the voltage from a small gauge wire goes through the switch on the steering column to a relay that in turn allows a much heavier gauge wire to operate the headlights. Once the switch is released the electromagnet will not have the voltage needed to keep the circuit connected and the lights will go out. Relays are really useful and are used to protect the wiring loom from damage.

Go to your local NAPA, Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly's and buy the Haynes Repair manual specific to your model and year.

no, check the coolant reservoir 1st, if its full then after car is at operating temp. look underneath and see if any coolant or water is on the ground below the water pump if so the weep hole is probably leaking on the water pump check the componet if all check out it maybe the thermostat fairly enxpensive to replace so i would replace the thermostat and check the temp again but if the water pump is leaking it needs to be replaced

if it tries to start with out a keu when you hook up the jumper cables, you have a bad starter solenoid.

everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional manual available...in the reference section, you'll have to make copies of the important sections...good luck :)

Yes, if the valve is bad. With the car idling, move the EGR valve diaphragm with your fingers. The engine should quit or want to quit. If it doesn't do this, it could be plugged up. Remove the EGR valve and clean any carbon deposits in the valve and also do the same on the engine side where the EGR valve is connected. If the EGR has never been removed before, it will probably have carbon buildup.

The light will flash if the vehicle senses that you should be in overdrive (based on speed) but aren't. There should be a button on the end of your gearshift lever to turn overdrive back on. The only time you should turn that off is, for example, if you are pulling a trailer in the mountains.

Turn OD back on and the light will stop flashing. If it doesn't stop then there is a problem with the transmission going into overdrive.

If your check engine light is blinking that means an engine

cylinder misfire has been detected . You can drive it in for

repair , just avoid any rapid aceleration or deceleration

because you can damage the catalytic converter

I know of two ways to reset your body control module.

1. Disconnect your battery positive cable and let it set for at least an hour. Then reconnect the cable and turn the key on (do not start the vehicle) and let the computer relearn the settings. Give it 20 seconds then start your car. This has worked for me in the past.

2. Take it to a dealer and let them reprogram the module. This will cost around $100.00 depending on the dealer.

New BCM's cost around $600.00 and then you have to pay a dealer to program the new one to your vehicle. Good luck.

There is a special glue that they sell for it at autoparts stores.

your rear windshield motor may be stuck on. try freeing it by hand.

The frontend most likely needs alignment.

---- Have them double check the wheel balancing while they're at it.

The rotors could also not be sitting cleanly against that nice new hub - pull it and check there's no corrosion build up on the backside. If there is, just wire brush it clean.

Of course, the rotor itself could be a bit out-of-true/round.

And then there's the tire itself - belts that have separated inside the tire can cause a good shake also.

But I agree with Hollyday516, I'd start with the alignment and wheel balancing...

Sounds like your engine is suffering a common problem with the 3.8's - an intake leak caused by some bad 'isolator' bolts.

According to the Toyota Shop Manual (a.k.a. the Big Green Book) the gap for a new spark plug shoud be 0.8 mm (0.031 in.). The maximum gap allowed is listed at 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)

The proper spark plug gap for a 2002 Yamaha YZ250 is .024 inches. New spark plugs usually come pre-gapped, however.

Look under the hood on the emission decal. My 2003 with 3.8L engine says 0.050" gap.
