Thank you! What are the chances of the drivers side thrust plate leaking? I know my passenger side is leaking, but not drivers. I seen the drivers side is harder to work with, and to be honest I would rather not do it. I have both seals (oem), should I just do both?

Hello, I know this thread is has been dormant for awhile. I am going to do this job in the next week. I’m curious if you put any kind of silicone paste on the o ring, or any kind of lubricant?

Alright, so I have been working on the montero little by little. I have been caught up with school and exams. Anyways, so far I have replaced the valve cover gaskets and removed the fuel rails. I had a little mishap with the valve cover that pushed me back a little, I ended up tightening it way...

Thank you for the information! Do you where I could purchase those seals?

Bringing this back from the dead LOL. The Montero has been sitting in the garage, I have had a lack of time and motivation to work on it. I have a new game plan, somebody told me on a forum "only rule things out that you do". I am going to take that approach since it is still throwing the P0300...

Yea... I'm kinda stumped on this one. With the intake gaskets, they have an indented and non-indented side (FEL PRO). I did not know which way to install them on the manifold, does this make a difference? There were no instructions with them neither with the FSM, so I figured it wouldn't really...

But wouldn’t that throw a dedicated code towards the oxygen sensors?

I have no clue as of how old the o2 sensors are

The timing belt was changed around 10k miles ago, and I was not the owner of the vehicle when that was done. But I have a receipt that shows it was done along with the pulley and water pump, that would be good to look into. The spark plugs are brand new as well as the plug wires, and brand new...

Okay, so I cranked it over without letting it sit on acc mode and it was just fine, this was my original throttle body I put back on. After this, I took off the air duct so I could have someone look at the butterfly while on acc mode (the turnkey position right before crank). My throttle body...

I guess I have not tried to crank it right up, but I will try that today. And I did not know that you were talking about physically seeing the butterfly valve, that sounds like a great idea! I'll get back to you with the results... thank you!

My TPS reads at 6.3% on accessory mode, and 7.1% while started. For some reason, my OBD2 reader wasn't reading my fuel trims because long term and short term where both at 0, and I didn't want to wait for them to show due to the nauseating fumes. I did run the car longer than I usually do and...

Thank you for the help, and I will need to whip out the OBD2 again to check my fuel trims and TPS position. I'll get back to you on that. I will also need to check the pedal position sensor, would you know where that would be? If anything I will find it in the FSM. Thanks you!

I sure hope it's just the throttle body, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up haha. I looked at the fuel injectors while I was down there, and one injector (cylinder 5) had a little more dust around it then the rest, but not much. About 2k miles ago the previous owner took it to a shop and got...

I did fix the bolt and nut, and I went ahead and replaced both while I was down there. And I will look into the FSM and see what I can come up with. Thanks!
