Toyota Previa

It is called a Cabin Filter. Purchase a Purolator filter it comes with detailed instructions.

First check your oil. when was it changed last what colour is it? It should be red. Badly contaminated oil in an auto will lead to slip.

I had a problem perhaps similar to yours on my 91'. The transmission shop said it needed a rebuild but they would not test anything except to road test and it never slipped during the road test. after living with the occasional slip into neutral for years a mechanic finally diagnosed the problem as one or more failing solenoids. The expense of replacing a solenoid is prohibitive and perhaps more than just buying a used tranny with low miles and swapping. I got one with a year guarantee for four hundred but have not installed it yet. Sometimes solenoids will work abnormally with a bad contact or may stick due to corrosion. It is worth cleaning and checking the contacts first.

Superchargers use a special type of oil that you can get from the dealer. I bought a small oil canister for $50 OMG, so expensive but need it. Hope that helps. I use GM supercharger oil in mine.... it runs about $12 at a GM dealer and comes in a pretty good sized bottle.... I read that it worked, tried it, and have not had any problems....

Remove 2 plastic covers and 2 seat anchor bolts (14mm), then remove the seat half; Remove seat belt rubber cover and bolt (14mm); Slightly pull out the rear hatch rubber moulding to release 3 thin metal tab at the rear end of the panel from the moulding; Slightly pull out the side door rubber moulding to release a tape which hold the front end of the panel at the top; There are 2 plastic fastening pieces at the lower front of the panel that need to be pulled off. Now the panel can be pulled out at the bottom first, then pull up and out at the top to clear a series of metal hooks at the top of the panel. Installed in reverse order. dtn.

Drain it, and replace the filter (optional). Personally I use the dipstick tube to add it, as unscrewing it from the bottom and pumping it in is... overkill.

Other possibilities could be one of the the accessory belt idler pulleys - either the one that connects to the accessory driveshaft bracket, or the one that connects to the A/C compressor bracket. If the bearing has gone bad, it would likely produce a chirping/squealing noise. Another thought is the accessory driveshaft coupling, which is a common problem in the Previa vehicles. It consists of two round, rubber pieces that act as a support/damper between the accessory driveshaft. The rubber eventually wears out and deteriorates, which will lead to noise and vibration. Another idea is the alternator ... have you checked that out to see if the chirping sound could be due to worn alternator bearings? Or if the belt tension is too tight, that could be putting more stress on the shaft and bearings, increasing the frequency/volume of noise. If you have a mechanic's stethoscope, it would come in handy for locating/diagnosing noises such as chirps, squeals, etc. Good luck!

You have to take the inside door panel off and behind it you can see where the inside door handle is connected.Usually to a rod that opens the door.Either the hande has become disconnected or tghe rod is broken or bent.

good question. mine goes off spontaneously, often in the middle of the night. if you remove the fuse, the power windows don't work.

the gap for the 1992 2.4 is .044 Or you can call any auto parts store and they'll give you the info over phone

The throttle position sensor is under the drivers seat. Pull the locking latch above the gas cap doors release( front left on drivers seat) it has a yellow colored rubber coating on it. Push the seat back out of the way and open the engine access hatch there under the carpet flap. Once its open and put aside out of the way you can look and see the throttle body. It has the air intake connected to the front (approx. 3" in diameter) and three small 1/4" vacuum hoses on top. On the right side of the throttle body you will find the throttle position sensor. It is fastened by two screws and has a wire connector with two wires attached to it. It is dome shaped and a black colored plastic material.

pull out the battery or what ever is in front of it , or get a flash light and get your hands in there. it cant be that hard , you must atleast look at the back or call Toyota to see if it is poossible to remove the bulb and how to do it

The reservoir automatically replenishes oil in the oil pan if it is burned away. It was made for the consumer who doesn't change oil regularly.

under the center panel lower compartment.

it has no crankshaft sensor

Toyota Owner's Manual and Automotive Repair Manual say Previa with 2TZ-FE (non-supercharged, which is the case of 1990 Previa) cooling system total capacity is 13 U.S. qt.

all previa s where made whidout changes in body design from 91 to 97...

There are three nuts holding the strut to the body. Get access by removing panels under the dashboard. Getting a wrench or a socket to get to the nuts is a challenge. The wheel needs to come out, and a brake line needs to be disconnected. Replacing the strut itself requires a heavy duty spring compressor.

Lift vehicle to a safe and comfortable (according to your size) hieght.SUPPORT WITH JACK STANDS!!!!!!!! Remove RH front motor mount. With rubber mount completely Removed, compress engine mounting bracket down to frame mounting bracket usjng c-clamp. Remove plug wire cover, plug wires & maybe plugs.(don't remember) The valve cover can then be removed. It's tight, but it will come out. PS be sure to remove ALL pieces of old gaskets, including the round ones around spark plugs.GOOD LUCK!! This worked on a 92 w/2.4 should be the same.

Put your coins, garage remotes, keys, tissues, anything. It's a tray. Remove it and put a radio there or something...

There is a little button or latch in the center of the cover underneath the rim. One needs to just feel under the edge and it is obvious when touching it. The cover also covers the two speakers if there is a multi-speaker stereo so it is easy to identify that way. As the first author said just lift up and back (the rear of the van) and it will come off directly.

If this is the same as a Tarago in Australia (and I think it is) then it is in the centre of the dash. To access it you need to lift the cover - there is a small lug above the heater controls - press this lug and the cover lifts up and there are the fuses.

Could be the fuel filter... Try that first then go to the fuel lines then injectors. Dirt can get sucked from the bottom of the tanl

The fuse box is on top of the dash in the centre. Gently prise the panel upwards from the front to reveal the many fuses etc.
