#10914 of 10948 oil consumption by ricdob Aug 28, 2008 (2:22 pm)
yes, I had a similar prob with my 01 HL, oil consumption mostly at high rpms, at 50K. Bought it to the dealer, replaced the PCV valve, took a 1000 mile trip, didnt use a drop of oil. Not one message in the owners manual or service guide about when to change the pcv valve.

Ricdob - Thanks for your reply on the PCV valve. I will definitely go that direction first before the more expensive routes. Thanks again!!
#10916 of 10948 PCV Valve by ecotrklvr Sep 01, 2008 (5:36 pm)
Replying to: irishcasey (Aug 28, 2008 1:04 pm) I too have seen a plugged PCV System allow the crankcase to pressurize and push oil into the combustion chambers. It's so easy to replace, and inexpensive. I'd also like to suggest you get the part from the Toyota dealer. Aftermarket ones may be cheaper, but seem to have way more plastic to them.   Good luck.
#10917 of 10948 Need advice on break lights by ericdb Oct 07, 2008 (8:41 am)
I just got a T HL 2004 and the left break lights don't work, I checked the light bulbs and they are fine, I checked the fuses and they are fine, the lights works fine but when ever I put my foot on the breaks the right side break lights comes on but not the left once. First I thought it must have some sort of circuit board because I can only see cables come in on one place and the electricity must be distributed from there but I called Toyota and they said it didn't have a circuit at all. So now I'm confused, why would I get the regular lights to come on but not the break lights and only one the left side.   EdB Replies to this message: lmacmil (Oct 07, 2008 3:07 pm) phrosut (Oct 08, 2008 8:50 am) ericdb (Oct 09, 2008 4:49 am) ericdb (Oct 10, 2008 8:13 am) electricdesign (Oct 13, 2008 6:15 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: ericdb (Oct 07, 2008 8:41 am) Swap the left side brake light bulb with the right and see if the problem moves to the other side. If not, then it's got to be in the wiring.

Replying to: ericdb (Oct 07, 2008 8:41 am) In other cars this malfunction is often caused by a defective turn signal switch. The brake light signal must pass through it so that the turn signal overides the brake on lighting the bulb. You might try messing with the turn signal while applying the brakes and having a friend watch the light.   Phil Replies to this message: ericdb (Oct 09, 2008 4:49 am) ericdb (Oct 10, 2008 8:13 am) electricdesign (Oct 13, 2008 6:15 pm) ericdb (Oct 14, 2008 6:26 am)

Replying to: phrosut (Oct 08, 2008 8:50 am) Never thought of that, I will definitely try that and see if that helps. Thanks for the info.. Eric

Replying to: phrosut (Oct 08, 2008 8:50 am) I didn't have tro try it, today when I came out one of the bulbs was working and the other one had gone bad so I replaced the one that was burned and now it works fine again..I have no clue why but it works .. Thanks for your input though.. E Replies to this message: electricdesign (Oct 13, 2008 6:15 pm) ericdb (Oct 14, 2008 6:26 am)

Replying to: ericdb (Oct 10, 2008 8:13 am) Sorry to say, but it sounds as if you were the victim of Mr Ohm. He sneaks in and causes resistance in electrical connections in wiring and especially in the light bulb socket contacts. He is sometimes shy, and can be chased away by a vibration. Other times he becomes quite bold, and is hard to eliminate. He is very good at hiding. Often a good WHACK will get rid of him! Replies to this message: ericdb (Oct 14, 2008 6:26 am)

Replying to: electricdesign (Oct 13, 2008 6:15 pm) well Mr Ohm went away with getting a new bulb in and I hope he stays away LOL..
