If it doesn't start dropping steadily while warming-up, you'll need to have a tech (Toyota service or a knowledgeable, properly equipped foreign make service) adjust the cold idle speed. There's no little throttle linkage adjusting screws like on your '65 4-barrel V8. It's all electronics now. Regards, BGood

See message 4391 re Idle Speed Control Valve. My problem was high warm idle on a V6, and it had just started getting an erratic cold idle.

Car has not been starting consistently. Tow truck comes out, starts for driver. Last time out noticed the air filter housing was detached and clips missing. I have it assembled and temporary clips on but the four small tubes were removed (not by me but by the driver). I am looking for a picture or other guidance as to which tube goes where. Any suggestions? Help?

I read the messages on this site about sunroof repair costs and thought the world was ending. My '05 66k miles developed a broken sunroof after it had been slid all the way back. It would move forward a inch then automatically return to full open position. Local garage (a great place) estimated $1500 to repair. Most of that cost was headliner removal. They also said call the dealer to see what they say. Dealer said for $110 we will look at it, we can't say anything more, bring it in. I asked if they could just close it, and, what could the max cost be? They wouldn't answer. So, I asked the local guy to fix it, they then said they wouldn't do it and referred me to Custom Upholstery and Glass. I took it there and they closed the roof (perfect fit) within 20 minutes and charged me $20! Ha! the local garage charged me $50 just for their estimate. Custom also said I should try to find used cables (they showed me chewed up broken cable from my car) and they would charge $100 to install them, good as new. Shop around, my friends. Custom quoted me $1900 cost for all new parts, from the dealer.

You are a lucky person. Anyone I took it to, and I have friends who work for repair shops said they would not touch it! But I just may try the upholstery place. Its been how many years now? and I am still driving around with a duct taped sunroof and when ever anyone asks how I like my highlander I am not afraid to tell them - not very much (but it is really just because of the sunroof, but that was enough to turn me off Toyota. I will never buy another one. I have to drive this one into the ground because who will buy a used car with a duct taped sunroof......
Thanks for sharing your solution. Its worth a try...

Hey y'all, just brought home my 09 HL Limited, V6. Traded in an 07 Camry so I know about where the oil filter should be. What plastic do I have to remove to find it on the HL. Thanks.

Highlander Straps in Rear

I am having the darndest time getting the straps hanging from near the ceiling inside the tailgate to stay attached to the bottom. It seems that everytime I touch them or hit a bump one of them will pop loose. I can reattach them but it is just temporary.
I have never used those straps nor can I forsee using them.

You didn't mention what year HL you have. On my '04, down inside that slot is a plastic hook facing down. I took a heavy duty rubber band, looped it down in there until it got around the hook, then several times looped it around the top of the buckle while an able assistant held the buckle close to the slot. Pushed it down in...it's stayed for months and no rattle or pop-up.

I have a 2007 Highlander. And I have never used those straps and don't have a clue as to what they would be used for. I just want them to stop popping loose for little reason.
Curious what do you and others use those straps for?

G'day
The straps are the seat belts for the third row seats. They have two seat belt buckle type connectors on them. When the third row seat is raised, you plug the buckle at the end of the strap in to holder at the outer end of the seat and then use the second buckle normally as a seat belt. However the plastic receptacle into which they are supposed to clip when not using the third row seats does not hold them secure. I just let them flip around but if the buckle is laying in a position where it rubs against other hard components, they rattle. Judicious use of a rubber band around them seems to work.
Cheers
Graham
