Congrats bro! Welcome to the club!
Gremlins are to be expected and as you said - you sort of brought that part on yourself by not refreshing the engine.

could have gotten the tensioner already, and I'm sure for cheaper.
good luck with the project. QUOTE (Culpable04 @ Oct 30, 2010 - 4:26 PM) this is from his post  QUOTE - Idler and tensioner pulleys (same P/N) - Instead of ordering these from Toyota ($$$), I opted to try a local bearing supplier called Kaman Industries. They looked up the number indexed on the side of the bearing, and they overnight shipped them via FedEx to my house in less than 24 hours and cost me less than HALF of what Toyota wanted. I think it was something like $~150 from Toyota, as opposed to $68 through Kaman for the exact same thing! They are identical, they just lack the pretty Toyota box. --------------------  |

Ok. fixed timing belt. new problem arisen: slow running on 3 cylinders misfire low boost.
Compression test: compression cylinder #1  compression cylinder #2  compression cylinder #3  compression cylinder #4  ____________________________________________________________ Mechanical timing:    new tensioner & tensioner pulley  ____________________________________________________________ Ignition timing: I set the ignition timing with a timing light in test mode to 10º BTDC. The light flickered intermittently and not steady. ____________________________________________________________ Videos upclose and rev http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux-Y643jKew walkaround and in dash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my-nADbFIuM in car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy71iJMJmfs ____________________________________________________________ Changed: plugs, cap, rotor. to change: plug wires. Pulled out the spark plugs for compression testing: 0.8mm / 0.031in gap. Plug #3 was carbon fouled from misfiring. I have yet to test the igniter and other resistor packs. Please help diagnosing this problem.

QUOTE (purplegt4 @ Feb 22, 2011 - 11:38 AM) plug wires on the way. Pulled #2 wire during idle and no change. Found the culprit. |

check slave as jeff said, if that checks out, inspect the master cylinder and bleed the system again, it may be something as simple as air in the system.

what brand of clutch?
if the hydraulics check out ok, sounds like you may have a pressure plate problem, maybe a spit spring? -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

I haven't had a helper to pump the clutch for me. hopefully today I can do that. If that doesn't work, tear down begins
