#4529 of 4696 Throttle body cleaning by izzo233 May 19, 2009 (2:30 pm)
A service writer said that I should have a throttle body cleaning and this will help with my acceleration issues.Has anyone had this done and has it improved performance? Toyota is running a $69.99 Top Engine Cleaning service that includes throttle body cleaning,intake and valve cleaning and fuel system cleaner and additive.My 2006 has 39k miles. Do or not to do? Any suggestions? Thanks for the input.. Replies to this message: mdhutton (May 19, 2009 3:17 pm) izzo233 (May 19, 2009 3:27 pm)

Replying to: izzo233 (May 19, 2009 2:30 pm) I've never had throttle body cleaning done on a Toyota yet, but have had it on other vehicles I've owned and it does make a difference. $69.99 seems fair. Replies to this message: izzo233 (May 19, 2009 3:27 pm)

#4532 of 4696 Wheels chipping by eenglish99 Jun 08, 2009 (3:13 pm)
I have a 2002 Millenium Silver Highlander with the aluminum wheels. They have been holding up oretty well but on two of them the center piece inside the lug nuts with the logo on it is starting to peel on only 2 of them. Is this a common problem? Can you just get this little piece and replace them? I may try touch up paint. Thanks

#4534 of 4696 Air Conditioner Filters in 03 Highlander by carterk Jun 27, 2009 (3:19 pm)
Can anyone confirm that 03 HL (no-frills model) has a/c filters, the kind which can be replaced? Last year when I was at dealer for oil change, I noticed a flyer for these filters, and asked if I should have mine replaced. Was told that 03 didn't have that feature. This year when in for inspection and oil/filter change, and miracle of miracles, the a/c filters "badly needed replacing." So I said yes. And it was done in just a jiffy. Supposedly that job requires removal of the dashboard. Now I'm wondering..... I would like to have some backup data before I go to dealer mgt. and ask some serious questions. I've waited several months to do this in order to cool my jets!! Replies to this message: jrfiero (Jun 28, 2009 5:32 am) grahampeters (Jun 28, 2009 11:02 pm)

Replying to: carterk (Jun 27, 2009 3:19 pm) The interior air filter is in front of the glovebox, and requires no tools to replace. 2001 did not come with them (but they slip right in), all subsequent years did, to my knowledge. After six years they probably were pretty clogged up - You can also take them out and clean them ... How much did they charge for this service?   Jonas

Replying to: carterk (Jun 27, 2009 3:19 pm) G'day   Removal is very straightforward. Squeeze in each side of the glovebox very firmly, and lower the glovebox down. Disconnect the string on the return spring assembly if necessary. Be careful as the string end is swaged back on itself and can break at the swage.   The fan is directly in front of the glovebox and above it is a plastic panel about 10 inches wide by 1 inch high held in place by two plastic clips at the upper edge. Release the clips and you will find a tray style filter behind. The tray holds a removable paper element that can be removed, shaken out and replaced if required.   The complete job takes less than a minute   Cheers   Graham
#4537 of 4696 heater control by rbm4 Jun 29, 2009 (4:47 pm)
I just would like say thanks to all who commented on the problem with the nut coming loose behind the knob; I was very fortunate to catch it before the wires broke off. Thanks again!
#4538 of 4696 Radiator fans, AC and no high idle? by worthflorida Jul 05, 2009 (4:17 pm)
Just started this past week, my wife tells me that the AC light on the AC switch was blinking. She cycled it and it seemed OK. But this morning it stalled when putting it in drive and the AC was on. I noticed no fan(s) were running and the idle was dead slow (not in high idle to compensate for the AC load. When the engine gets hot enough to call for cooling, both fans kick in at high speed and the engine idle increases and the AC compressor kicks in.   Took out my volt-ohm meter and started checking. All fuses are OK, all three fan relays are good. I can bypass the relay contacts with a jumper and the fans turn on but the idle does not. The problem is there is no voltage to operate the relay coils when the AC turned on. With air flow over the AC condenser, the AC will not work until you drive it. Obvious.   The check engine light is NOT on. It's either a sensor or the computer is wacked. Anyone have any thoughts or have had this problem?
