I live in japan and not speaking japanese its vary hard to get information i have found some fixes on here and im going to try them this weekend one new problem i have is the trac off light keeps coming up now when i was cleaning the throtle body i removed the sensor on the first buttfly valve i am wondering if there is a special way to put it back on. i went to a toyotpet to get the ecu reset to stop the trac off light from blinking they told me i would have to replace the throtle body. after they reset it i left turned off my car went into a store got back into the car turned it on and the light started to blink agian. i also have the powersteering problem wondering if its a oring on the hose the leak looks to be coming from the bottom of the pump where the hoses goes in any info on parts needed to fix that would be great. the stalling issue after long drives hopefully the added vacume line works ill try that this weekend. also whats a good size navi to install. thanks for any information.

today i did some troubleshooting on the throttlebody.since yesterday they told me the whole throttle body assy had to be replaced i turned the car on then removed the plug from the first sensor nothing happened i then pluged it back in removed the second sensor and the idle changed so maybe the first senor is bad im not sure however when i turn the car on theres a clicking noise coming from the front half of the throttle body like the sensor disengauged more troubleshooting on the problem later im thinking its something electrical on the other side of the throttle body by the firewall if anyone has any ideas of what to replace besides the whole throttle body please tell

its a 95 or 96 (the is vvti is right behind the filter box right) if so that looked cleanned the throttle body makes a click then an unwinding sound after startting the engine. the dealer said i needed a new throttle body which i think is bs

Incidentally, I have a little hard time reading your English.

95-96 cars do NOT have VVTI, and it's not next to the filter box. VVTI stands for variable valve timing which is a function inside the motor and valve train. since you have a non-VVTI motor, i would change the throttle body as well since it's much cheaper. from what i know in japan the dealers are fairly honest.

Why don't you try to replace the throttle body? They are now only 2-3K Yen these days in Japan.

the trac control sensor is not adjusted correctly. The throttle body is fine. I'm thinking about trying to set it but I just bought a juction exhaust. I have the new toy iich spent all day trying to find a muffiler hanger and mount. The original muffler mount uses two rubber orings holding the muffler in place. the new muffler has a straight with a 90 deg bend, the old mufler had a hook. since the new muffiler does not have a hook im going to use a u-bolt and attach that to the muffler mount. this will allow me to use the correct muffler rubber hanger and not have to worry about it falling off.
