Just thinking out of the box. I wonder if there is a "relocation" kit to move those (I'm real old school, 58 years old school) two air pumps somewhere else up higher to keep them out of the water?
I don't know the exact year Toyota updated that air injection pump, but they fixed this "water problem" that was very common in the 2007 and 08 models. On later models, when you shut the truck off it will do a quick "air purge" to blow the water outside of the pump so the internal valve won't rust shut or open (which is the real failure),. You can hear it when it does this, and now you rarely have to ever replace this part.
They changed the body in 2007. To look like this. Pretty close to the same all the way up to 2021. However the seats changed in like 2013 or 2014. They got ugly and so did the interior. It looks better with the redesign for 2021. However reliability is a big question mark for the new generation.
The SAI pumps on the early ones are in the right front fender. The SAI manifold is under the intake manifold. Dealer will charge all day for the job, because they take the exhaust manifolds loose, but the valves can be taken off the new manifold and bolted on the old one. EDIT: I really should wait until the end of the video... My '08 Sequoia suffered the failure. It puts the truck in 'Limp Home' mode. I didn't have the water problem - the rubber valve seals were ruined.
The whole thing is a cheat system that dilutes exhaust gas so the emissions per cube of gas look better. But the total volume of emissions is the same.
Yes. My 07 had them changed by warranty. Toyota extended the warranty on the air pumps because they knew about this. These may have been replaced and gone bad again. Love my 07 Tundra.
I have an 02' Hyundai Elantra with 440,000 mi and still runs fine. These were cheap cars. Auto trans still shifting good. Change the oil and trans oil is all it takes. I'm never late with maintenance.
Had a Ford dealer replace the plugs and wires on my 2008 Ranger. Ran for a while, but the check engine light came on. Misfire on cylinder 3. Your video on the Ranger said to change the coil when doing plugs and wires. You were right. There were two cracks on the coil. A new Motorcraft coil and the misfire is gone. Should have just done the whole thing myself.
Had the same issue with my 07 tundra with the 4.7 motor many years ago. It was covered under warranty. Dash lights were lit up like a Christmas tree and it went into limp mode. I wish I never sold that truck- best vehicle I ever owned.
Best gen of Tundra, we have a family member that has a 2016 in the amazing 1794 trim and it has never failed him. How Toyota went from a million mile capable Tundra to the new one that blows its engine before even reaching 10k miles still baffles me.
The eco-weenies in the federal govt who know better than the manufacturers forced them to drop engines like the 5.7 for the current twin-turbo motor. The did the same thing to Ford and they went to the twin-turbo eco boost to try to compensate. They were forced legislatively to do so in order to meet CAFE standards. Reliability suffers as a result.
It’s easier to meet emissions standards with bolt on stuff. Reliability is carp but they get get through the official tests. These air injectors are a perfect example.
They got used to suckers buying anything with the circled T and got complacent. They had the choice to engineer a proper new generation but chose to take advantage of their customers.
I have a 2012 Tundra with the 5.7 I force motor. It's the best gas-powered truck I've owned. Mine just turned 100k miles on it. I don't drive it daily so its in excellent condition. They are an excellent truck and if you are looking for a good used truck, they are a good choice.
The secret to Toyota reliability is you have to maintain them. As an owner of a 26 yr old T100, I can vouch for this. Surprised the other shop in town hasn't figured out how to use a scan tool yet. Air pumps aren't mandated by the government, the emissions after start up is. Manufacturers use different methods to achieve the goal - pre cats come to mind.
Fram filters used to have a corporate slogan, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later". I am so delighted with my 2007 Camry taking me all over the country trouble free. But I don't drive through standing water or a hurricane.
This is usually not caused by high water, but by rain water. The early design of the air intake for these pumps allowed rain water to get in. They changed that design in 2012 or thereabouts. I had this happen on my 2011, it had never run over standing water.
Like they say you can pay me now or pay me later. I have a 2015. There is better on fuel turbos hybrid or ev out there but gas relatively is cheap for the little driving I do and have no repairs. Wizard gives this advice at the end of video
Automotive companies are required to make a vehicle comply with the CAFE numbers required. This means they must reduce engine size and raise fuel mileage every year. So our government requires this! Wake up.
My 07 Tundra 5.7 has 308k. Run great. I do all the maintenance. Live in snow/salt road heaven. Harley any rust because I hooked my outside hose to the house hot/cold water. Since the closest car wash is 30 miles away.
I had a 2015 Mustang that I bought brand new. I only had it for 7 years. It was awesome. Only the tension pully locked up at 64,000 miles. Then at 71,000 I wrecked it. Best car ever. I have never had anything longer. Always saw something newer and better.
I'm reminded of a guy who ran a little hole-in-the-wall computer store back in the '80s. Anytime anybody brought a machine in for repair he would look at it, shake his head, and say "I see your problem, it's the ROM". One time somebody brought in a machine that was about a half inch thick (it wasn't a laptop) with a tire-mark across it. "I see your problem, it's the ROM".
Had the same thing happen on my used 05 Tacoma a week after I bought it (140k miles). Ended up replacing the pump (only had 1) with the GM version and modifying the harness to plug right in. Cost me 1/3 the price for the exact same part! Also cut a hole in the bottom of the rubber bowl on the bottom of the pump so moisture could escape. It turns out moisture builds in the pump over time and has no way to get out. Best truck I've ever had
I own a ‘12 sequoia platinum with 279,000k miles. Black with redrock leather interior, 4x4, Corsa 4” exhaust system. Easily the most comfortable and accommodating vehicle I’ve ever owner. Plenty of power, great sound, pulls my bass boat happily (air bags in rear help). I love it. Have spent some money on brakes, fixing rusted/stripped hardware for skidplate. Replaced water pump, idler pulley. New seats in front. I drive it on road trips to between Fla. and S.C.
I have a 2007 5.7L Tundra in same color, I even have a front leveling kit with black rims except mine only has 160k on it. just last week installed the Hewitt air injection bypass kit and did away with all that air pump mumbo jumbo. The kit cost $450 and works great but trying to get the rear clips off will nearly drive you insane.
Went through this on my buddy's 4runner. No water in it though, Everything was up under the intake manifold. The pump itself just failed. Did not disintegrate and puke plastic impeller chunks everywhere (which is also known to happen). We did it all while we were in there, two diverter valves right up against the firewall, under a big 'ol wiring harness AND a coolant crossover. Lots of fun. Not gonna lie, went with an el-cheapo aftermarket air pump ... working just fine for 4 years now. 5 minutes of searching online and I had that problem diagnosed. Actually puts it into limp-mode so you have no choice but to deal with it.
This is the only major problem with these engine. Other than that they are bulletproof. Just change the oil every 5,000 miles and flush the coolant every 50,000 miles. If you neglect the coolant on these, you may blow a head gasket. The Car Care Nut just had a 200 series Land Cruiser in his shop for head gasket failures. The customer had to pay $6,000 for the repair. The head gasket failed because they didn’t flush the coolant frequently enough and the coolant ate the head gasket up. Do a coolant flush on these every 5 years or 50,000 miles whichever comes first. If you do that, you should be fine. This also applies to the GR series V6 and especially the 1.8 hybrid engines like in the Prius, Corolla Hybrid, and CT200h as well. They are also known for head gasket issues at higher mileage. Anyone who has a third gen Prius or later, CT200h, or Corolla Hybrid: do not drive if there’s no catalytic converter because the catalytic converter is cooled by the coolant. If you hear an unusual loud noise from the exhaust, turn it off asap. Catalytic converters are a target for thieves worldwide. It’s happened in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia as well. I bet there’s more countries that have this issue.
Second biggest issue on these Toyota 5.7’s is leaking cam towers. Just did mine, also exhaust manifold leaks are pretty common through this gen of tundra. These trucks aren’t perfect but they are reliable. If I were the owner of that tundra I would have opted for one of the secondary air injection bypass kits. Eliminates this mess because these tend to fail often. I am on my second set of pumps and valves with 226,000 miles on my 2010.
I have the same color 08 dble cab,5.7,2wd,column shift. 118k and it has been near perfect,I just had a paint correction and ceramic coat done last week,it looks great. And I had an 05 Titan before the Tundra,I liked it,but it was definitely not on the same level for quality or dependability.
Love these videos. I have a e92 3 series. My local shop ran me up 3k of bills chasing a break warning light issue. After the 3k of chasing I took it to a bmw specialist. Within a day they changed a £400 module and it was fixed. I was so mad haha
Way back in the day I got rid of Secondary Air Injection on my dad's 1984 Olds Cutlass Ciera wagon (very nice for its era). The computerized carbureted Buick 3.0 V6 it came with was a mess. I took out the ECU and converted the ignition to regular rotary distributor from a chevy truck and got rid of a all the secondary air stuff plus a lot of cables and sensors that never ever ran well, also had to take out the cat. That engine was happy everafter. Even years later I sold the car and saw it around town now and then with is new owner. Literally, the secondary air pump runs for like 5 minutes at cold start to help the cat get up to temp, and that's it.
Dear Mr. Wizard, i have a 2003 chevy astro, and i would love to see you post a video about these insanely reliable vans. Mine is lifted with the AWD and does have me wrenching on it from time to time, but it can be injured and still see me to my next stop. Truly remarkable vehicles, would love to get your take on them.
As soon as you mentioned the lights, I had a feeling it would be the secondary air injection system. That's the only significant thing I've had to do with my '08 Tundra. It only has 90k on it, so it has a lot of life left in it!
I can definitely relate to this video. Last year I purchased a 2005 Honda CR-V EX with a stick and AWD. When I bought it the car had 200k on the odometer and it now has about 215k. One of the many things that I did to the car when I bought it was I replaced all 4 cv axles, wheel bearings and brakes including parking brake shoes, hardware and cables. I also did ball joints as well because those were shot. At the time I worked at the Toyota dealership and everybody thought I was crazy for spending that much money on a car that all with that many miles. Until I explained to them that if just one of the CV axles or wheel bearings were to fail on me, it has a domino effect on the rest of the suspension components, and if those were to break it automatically totals the car mechanically. In the past 2 years, I’ve had two CRV‘s totaled. I can’t afford another. That being said it would be very foolish of me too overlook these issues and at the time I was driving well over 50 miles a day back-and-forth to work and I could tell that all of those components were shot so I did the right thing and I replaced everything and I have to say looking back on it now it was one of the best things I ever did.
always love the walk though of what was wrong and the explanations you provide for the system and how its suppose to work but wish you would walk us though the diagnosis process with the scan tool and what pids to look at.
As soon as I saw the flashing warning lamps I knew it was either air injection pumps & valves or something had chewed the knock sensor harness. There is an updated part number from Toyota for the injection pump intake pipes. One of the most common failures for 07 to 09 3UR-FE Tundra's.
Love your channel. Keep em coming. Love how you’ve had some of my toys on lately. I own a 97 LX450. I also own a 2000 F350 7.3L. And other old rigs and simple rigs. No payments. No leans. No loans. So when I dump some money into these trucks, people get all “wow, that’s crazy. Just buy a new vehicle.” So they think it’s smarter to have a 300-700 a month payment for 3-10 years vs no payments and once in a while spend. My F350 with zero issues and only 230,000 (not even broken on) its starter went out. So, while I’m under the hood and truck, I decided to do all new cables, a 6.7 starter swap, and a mod dip stick locater on the side of the pan (a common blowout leak point). All in around $1000. That’s blowing a buddies mind. But he pays 800 a month for his 2020 Raptor that off roads parking lots. Folks. Get you a reliable old high mileage truck like this one in the video. Have no payments, and once in a while fix a thing or two and enjoy the trucks forever. Almost literally forever. They don’t build things to last anymore like these trucks.
I was on the road, unable to see over the 2 trucks next to me on both sides and thinking, where does it go from here? What does the 2028 Tundra, 2030 F150 look like? Will the 2032 Silverado have treads?
I had a similar issue with a 2011 M-B GLK 350. The only difference being the LHS valve leaked, so humidity from the exhaust would back-flow into the pump, condensing then freezing. The result being the pump would not run and it would blow a fuse. Because I took my time figuring this out, the pump seized so I had to replace it as well.
Hey car wizard this is Joe horsepower garage in Des Moines Iowa thank you for your wonderful content. I can’t wait to watch your second channel pretty soon. I’m very interested in your second channel. Keep up the hard work my friend and I will be in contact with you and I’ve dealt with the same situation on a truck similar to this with flood damage.
Great job in diagnosing the issue. Curious if anyone considers this is a design flaw placing equipment that can take in water so low on the vehicle? Either way, just ridiculous what the EPA has complicated the internal combustion engine to "protect the environment". I wish the EPA would order the leaf blower folks to use a rake and dustpan.
Watched the video with Hoovie on the FJ cruiser. I almost bought one new the last year they were made, I didn’t for the one of the reasons you sold yours. Blind spots, loved the car the blind spots were a deal breaker
Really surprised the SAIS pumps lasted this long. Mine failed at 80k miles and I bought a bypass kit from Hewitt Technologies instead of addressing the actual issue since these are likely to fail again and is a very common problem on the 2nd get Tundras. Never had a problem since and don't have to worry about them failing again.
For Toyotas (and possibly some other brands) if every single light comes on, it's probably an emissions problem. The issue is that you can probably drive the car just fine, but you will be a gross polluter. They want you to worry about it enough to get it fixed. Frankly, my lungs thank you for getting it fixed. It is good thing that the government forces emissions controls on vehicles, even though people want to moan about it.
hey, i got a SAIS failure on mine too. previous owner put a bypass on it, which you'd think would keep the code from coming back, but you'd be wrong. ignoring the code, it runs fine anyway. there's also a code for an oxygen sensor
I have an 02 Tundra with around 230k.Its looks beautiful on the outside, but the frame is about to rust out.Too bad that Toyota had so many frame issues! I still have faith in Toyota, bought a 2021 Highlander earlier this year.Just not a fan of whoever supplied the frames to the Tacoma and Tundra!
Wizard, my brother backed into an aluminum Gruman Post Office van with his Tundra. It folded like tin foil. That's what you get for not having a rear bumper.
You cannot beat a Toyota. They are well worth the extra money. All the Toyotas I've owned have had very few issues. Have a 2013 Corolla bought with 13,000 miles on it in 2013 the biggest problem it ever had was an evap leak I needed a new hose.
Sai is a common failure place in many car brands. I remember reading a lot about it when I owned a vw passat. Wanted to get rid of it, but crashed a car before I managed to get to a mechanic.
If you drive it 55 mph and do religious maintenence along a stretch of road where you are unlikely to get into an accident with the timing belt version of the V8. Then yes. You might get a million out of it.
I really question how many times when the Wizard says that a previous shop or the dealer couldn't find the problem that there actually was a previous shop. My guess is that many times it's the owner guessing what the problem is but doesn't want to admit that he was wrong.
There is a stunning level of incompetence in troubleshooting and diagnosis in most shops (and not just automotive). Tech looks up the top 3 'fixes' that make the shop money if a retail customer, or saves them the most if warranty work. After the 3rd attempt fails they say "we can't fix it."
All of this, and many other issues besides, make a great argument for owning a truck built in the 1960's. Computers, sensors, air pumps, miles of wiring, etc., are not to be found in older vehicles. What is progress? Who defines it? If you start with the premise that simpler is better, all modern vehicles get a failing grade. The more complex technology is, the more prone it is to failure, and high repair bills.
I know the truck is probably out of the shop, but let them know to keep their coolant changed. It eats up the head gaskets on the back 2 cylinders of the drivers side. FYI
Most dealers don't want to service a 300K vehicle. Why? Because of the "Last Mechanic Who Fixed It, Broke It" Rule for the next subsequent repair. I don't blame them for refusing service considering the mileage, even if it's a Toyota.
I have owned late model Tacomas, Tundras gas and a diesel Titan and a 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro4X is my current vehicle. its my favourite of all it had an actual limited slip mechanical differentil in place of the Toyotas ABS based electronic system . also has a diff locker and conventional rack and pinion steering and the shifter is actually attached to the 5 speed automatic. from what ive read these 4.0L are as bulletproof as a Tacomas V6 . 5 years so far zero ssues and its a work truck used in the oil patch in Canada . I also haul my 30 foot holiday trailer with it. The worst of the trucks i owned was a 2018 Titan diesel.
At 2:41, im going to say charcoal canisters for evap. Toyota customers always overfill the tank on these, its always an issue. "If the pumps telling you its full, its full.
Ikr 😂 ppl are so dumb…… the other day I listened to a woman for 2 minutes straight just constantly “topping up” the tank and I imagine she does that every fill up 😂😂😂 doesn’t she ever wonder why she can never fully fill her tank up 😂😂😂😂😂 one day unfortunately she will succeed or blow herself up trying 😂😂😂
I think it would be cool to have an episode about parts. How a consumer should shop for parts and where. AutoZone, oreilly, advanced? On Rock Auto there is always 50 brand options. Does car wizard use OEM or one of the locals above?
In the US, when a car is “Emissions compliant” when sold new, does it ever have to be tested or certified again? In the UK it must be tested at 4 years old and every year after.

The customer had to pay $6,000 for the repair. The head gasket failed because they didn’t flush the coolant frequently enough and the coolant ate the head gasket up. Do a coolant flush on these every 5 years or 50,000 miles whichever comes first. If you do that, you should be fine. This also applies to the GR series V6 and especially the 1.8 hybrid engines like in the Prius, Corolla Hybrid, and CT200h as well. They are also known for head gasket issues at higher mileage. Anyone who has a third gen Prius or later, CT200h, or Corolla Hybrid: do not drive if there’s no catalytic converter because the catalytic converter is cooled by the coolant. If you hear an unusual loud noise from the exhaust, turn it off asap. Catalytic converters are a target for thieves worldwide. It’s happened in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia as well. I bet there’s more countries that have this issue.
Second biggest issue on these Toyota 5.7’s is leaking cam towers. Just did mine, also exhaust manifold leaks are pretty common through this gen of tundra. These trucks aren’t perfect but they are reliable. If I were the owner of that tundra I would have opted for one of the secondary air injection bypass kits. Eliminates this mess because these tend to fail often. I am on my second set of pumps and valves with 226,000 miles on my 2010.
I have the same color 08 dble cab,5.7,2wd,column shift.
118k and it has been near perfect,I just had a paint correction and ceramic coat done last week,it looks great.
And I had an 05 Titan before the Tundra,I liked it,but it was definitely not on the same level for quality or dependability.
Love these videos.
I have a e92 3 series. My local shop ran me up 3k of bills chasing a break warning light issue.
After the 3k of chasing I took it to a bmw specialist. Within a day they changed a £400 module and it was fixed. I was so mad haha
Way back in the day I got rid of Secondary Air Injection on my dad's 1984 Olds Cutlass Ciera wagon (very nice for its era). The computerized carbureted Buick 3.0 V6 it came with was a mess.
I took out the ECU and converted the ignition to regular rotary distributor from a chevy truck and got rid of a all the secondary air stuff plus a lot of cables and sensors that never ever ran well, also had to take out the cat.
That engine was happy everafter. Even years later I sold the car and saw it around town now and then with is new owner.
Literally, the secondary air pump runs for like 5 minutes at cold start to help the cat get up to temp, and that's it.
Same exact truck i have but silver a and 249k miles. I love my truck. Powerful and reliable
I have a Lexus and a Toyota, partially because of you, Car Wizard! It's tough for me to leave the American manufacturers but they left me first.
Dear Mr. Wizard, i have a 2003 chevy astro, and i would love to see you post a video about these insanely reliable vans. Mine is lifted with the AWD and does have me wrenching on it from time to time, but it can be injured and still see me to my next stop. Truly remarkable vehicles, would love to get your take on them.
As soon as you mentioned the lights, I had a feeling it would be the secondary air injection system. That's the only significant thing I've had to do with my '08 Tundra. It only has 90k on it, so it has a lot of life left in it!
Please never stop doing these videos! Extremely informative and knowledgeable 👏🏼
Car Wizard is actually an alien! Can you believe that?
I can definitely relate to this video. Last year I purchased a 2005 Honda CR-V EX with a stick and AWD. When I bought it the car had 200k on the odometer and it now has about 215k. One of the many things that I did to the car when I bought it was I replaced all 4 cv axles, wheel bearings and brakes including parking brake shoes, hardware and cables. I also did ball joints as well because those were shot. At the time I worked at the Toyota dealership and everybody thought I was crazy for spending that much money on a car that all with that many miles. Until I explained to them that if just one of the CV axles or wheel bearings were to fail on me, it has a domino effect on the rest of the suspension components, and if those were to break it automatically totals the car mechanically. In the past 2 years, I’ve had two CRV‘s totaled. I can’t afford another. That being said it would be very foolish of me too overlook these issues and at the time I was driving well over 50 miles a day back-and-forth to work and I could tell that all of those components were shot so I did the right thing and I replaced everything and I have to say looking back on it now it was one of the best things I ever did.
always love the walk though of what was wrong and the explanations you provide for the system and how its suppose to work but wish you would walk us though the diagnosis process with the scan tool and what pids to look at.
As soon as I saw the flashing warning lamps I knew it was either air injection pumps & valves or something had chewed the knock sensor harness.
There is an updated part number from Toyota for the injection pump intake pipes. One of the most common failures for 07 to 09 3UR-FE Tundra's.
Love your channel. Keep em coming. Love how you’ve had some of my toys on lately. I own a 97 LX450. I also own a 2000 F350 7.3L. And other old rigs and simple rigs. No payments. No leans. No loans. So when I dump some money into these trucks, people get all “wow, that’s crazy. Just buy a new vehicle.” So they think it’s smarter to have a 300-700 a month payment for 3-10 years vs no payments and once in a while spend. My F350 with zero issues and only 230,000 (not even broken on) its starter went out. So, while I’m under the hood and truck, I decided to do all new cables, a 6.7 starter swap, and a mod dip stick locater on the side of the pan (a common blowout leak point). All in around $1000. That’s blowing a buddies mind. But he pays 800 a month for his 2020 Raptor that off roads parking lots. Folks. Get you a reliable old high mileage truck like this one in the video. Have no payments, and once in a while fix a thing or two and enjoy the trucks forever. Almost literally forever. They don’t build things to last anymore like these trucks.
The Nissan titan is fine. Just stay away from the Cummins v8 diesel
My brother has one. Loves it!
He needs to start loving it from a distance @@jumpinjojo
Rly the Cummins is bad? Cummins usually makes a good engine what’s up with them?
@@Jay-wp2nw not that v8 that’s in the titan. Stay from it
Nope titan is junk i implore you to find a high mileage titan. You cant cause they dont make to higher mileage and 150k is not high mileage anymore
I was on the road, unable to see over the 2 trucks next to me on both sides and thinking, where does it go from here? What does the 2028 Tundra, 2030 F150 look like? Will the 2032 Silverado have treads?
What about porsche with the new 6 stroke engine Patton.
I had a similar issue with a 2011 M-B GLK 350. The only difference being the LHS valve leaked, so humidity from the exhaust would back-flow into the pump, condensing then freezing. The result being the pump would not run and it would blow a fuse. Because I took my time figuring this out, the pump seized so I had to replace it as well.
My Ford Focus has 297154 miles on it now, manual transmission
Manual transmission, that explains it, no troublematic
@@sandystanley1237 exactly
So, every Tundra owner in Florida is screwed these last three days.
Hey car wizard this is Joe horsepower garage in Des Moines Iowa thank you for your wonderful content. I can’t wait to watch your second channel pretty soon. I’m very interested in your second channel. Keep up the hard work my friend and I will be in contact with you and I’ve dealt with the same situation on a truck similar to this with flood damage.
Great job in diagnosing the issue.
Curious if anyone considers this is a design flaw placing equipment that can take in water so low on the vehicle?
Either way, just ridiculous what the EPA has complicated the internal combustion engine to "protect the environment".
I wish the EPA would order the leaf blower folks to use a rake and dustpan.
Whiskey dents on a pickup truck, gives them character!!!~ Great content Wizard!!!!~
Watched the video with Hoovie on the FJ cruiser. I almost bought one new the last year they were made, I didn’t for the one of the reasons you sold yours. Blind spots, loved the car the blind spots were a deal breaker
Thats a beautiful, rugged, tough looking truck.. wow, shes a beauty
Really surprised the SAIS pumps lasted this long. Mine failed at 80k miles and I bought a bypass kit from Hewitt Technologies instead of addressing the actual issue since these are likely to fail again and is a very common problem on the 2nd get Tundras. Never had a problem since and don't have to worry about them failing again.
Ive heard this a million times in my career "My buddy is a mechanic/engineer and he Really knows whats wrong!" 🤣🤣🤣 let him fix it I'd say
That's why in the newer models (2.5 gen) they have the pumps run for a second or two when you shut the truck off. It's to clear any liquid out of it.
Yup, my 21 does it… sounds cool too.
For Toyotas (and possibly some other brands) if every single light comes on, it's probably an emissions problem. The issue is that you can probably drive the car just fine, but you will be a gross polluter. They want you to worry about it enough to get it fixed.
Frankly, my lungs thank you for getting it fixed. It is good thing that the government forces emissions controls on vehicles, even though people want to moan about it.
hey, i got a SAIS failure on mine too. previous owner put a bypass on it, which you'd think would keep the code from coming back, but you'd be wrong. ignoring the code, it runs fine anyway. there's also a code for an oxygen sensor
Looking forward to the new channel 🫡
I'm so looking forward to your new channel - never thought the Car Wizard would be into the paranormal.
13:58 it also prevents coughing a bit
Bigfoot takes pictures of the Wizard 😂
😂
Daniel is working hard lately!
Crazy, I've seen that on many older vws as well. They mount the pump right by the bottom where water could easily splash up
@14:42 "doctor doesnt diagnose cancer through emails and phone call" 🤣🤣
I love you 😘 😊
I was a good subscriber and watched Mrs Wizard interior review this time. Great work Mrs Wizard......
I only skip over the ad 😉
I have an 02 Tundra with around 230k.Its looks beautiful on the outside, but the frame is about to rust out.Too bad that Toyota had so many frame issues! I still have faith in Toyota, bought a 2021 Highlander earlier this year.Just not a fan of whoever supplied the frames to the Tacoma and Tundra!
I think it was Dana. At least they were the ones with the rusted frames on the small pickups in the early 90's.
Wizard, my brother backed into an aluminum Gruman Post Office van with his Tundra. It folded like tin foil. That's what you get for not having a rear bumper.
You cannot beat a Toyota. They are well worth the extra money. All the Toyotas I've owned have had very few issues. Have a 2013 Corolla bought with 13,000 miles on it in 2013 the biggest problem it ever had was an evap leak I needed a new hose.
Sai is a common failure place in many car brands. I remember reading a lot about it when I owned a vw passat. Wanted to get rid of it, but crashed a car before I managed to get to a mechanic.
Hell yeah Wizard, i can't wait to see your new channel!
I've heard of Tundras lasting 1,000,000 miles
If you drive it 55 mph and do religious maintenence along a stretch of road where you are unlikely to get into an accident with the timing belt version of the V8. Then yes. You might get a million out of it.
I really question how many times when the Wizard says that a previous shop or the dealer couldn't find the problem that there actually was a previous shop. My guess is that many times it's the owner guessing what the problem is but doesn't want to admit that he was wrong.
There is a stunning level of incompetence in troubleshooting and diagnosis in most shops (and not just automotive). Tech looks up the top 3 'fixes' that make the shop money if a retail customer, or saves them the most if warranty work. After the 3rd attempt fails they say "we can't fix it."
All of this, and many other issues besides, make a great argument for owning a truck built in the 1960's. Computers, sensors, air pumps, miles of wiring, etc., are not to be found in older vehicles.
What is progress? Who defines it? If you start with the premise that simpler is better, all modern vehicles get a failing grade. The more complex technology is, the more prone it is to failure, and high repair bills.
Good job, Wizard !
I learned something new today about my tundra
I know the truck is probably out of the shop, but let them know to keep their coolant changed. It eats up the head gaskets on the back 2 cylinders of the drivers side. FYI
Toyota should have put drain valves in the pumps or a couple of water in air pump sensors ! 🤪
Most dealers don't want to service a 300K vehicle. Why? Because of the "Last Mechanic Who Fixed It, Broke It" Rule for the next subsequent repair. I don't blame them for refusing service considering the mileage, even if it's a Toyota.
Thank you. I like the Pink Cadillac, because of the year.
When diagnosing every car repair is a battlefield, the go to weapon is the parts cannon.
Engine exhaust is mostly water vapor. When the secondary air system fail exhaust gets in thoes lines instead. The exhaust gases condense into water.
Love my 08 Tundra never want to sell it
I just got a SAIS block off kit from hewitt technologies
I have owned late model Tacomas, Tundras gas and a diesel Titan and a 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro4X is my current vehicle. its my favourite of all it had an actual limited slip mechanical differentil in place of the Toyotas ABS based electronic system . also has a diff locker and conventional rack and pinion steering and the shifter is actually attached to the 5 speed automatic. from what ive read these 4.0L are as bulletproof as a Tacomas V6 . 5 years so far zero ssues and its a work truck used in the oil patch in Canada . I also haul my 30 foot holiday trailer with it. The worst of the trucks i owned was a 2018 Titan diesel.
270,000 on my f150 with the 5.0
' Should have bought the Toyota' and 'Pre-purchase vehicle Inspection' -- the wise words for the Wizard!
we have a 2007 an the air pumps went bad in it we just unplugged them an has been running fine like that for the past 5 years
Denso is what is recommended by Toyota not Hitachi
Pause at 7:52 is says Toyota and Hitachi on the sensor so it should be OEM for that part.
Orange interior lights are better for your night vision than blue.
I found out the air intake on a 6.7 powerstroke was behind the bumper . A heavy rain, one hydrolocked engine and 25k later its back to life
At 2:41, im going to say charcoal canisters for evap. Toyota customers always overfill the tank on these, its always an issue. "If the pumps telling you its full, its full.
Ikr 😂 ppl are so dumb…… the other day I listened to a woman for 2 minutes straight just constantly “topping up” the tank and I imagine she does that every fill up 😂😂😂 doesn’t she ever wonder why she can never fully fill her tank up 😂😂😂😂😂 one day unfortunately she will succeed or blow herself up trying 😂😂😂
Because the owners do off roading with would extending the air intakes from the pumps up around the airbox be any help in keeping out the water?
That truck looks amazing for 300k. I love the wizzards knowledge and stories.
Hewitt bypass kit is a better way to fix this.
I think it would be cool to have an episode about parts. How a consumer should shop for parts and where. AutoZone, oreilly, advanced? On Rock Auto there is always 50 brand options. Does car wizard use OEM or one of the locals above?
In the US, when a car is “Emissions compliant” when sold new, does it ever have to be tested or certified again? In the UK it must be tested at 4 years old and every year after.
I can't wait till the new channel..I'm not a believer but love the discussion 🙏🙏
Wizard,, check out the "Lady in Blue, Lake Lanier in Gainesville, GA." I grew up on Lake Lanier during that time.
Also check out the Lake Michigan triangle.
Wayyyyy cool vidd, my guy, I had no idea about this system
That’s a fine looking truck.
