Thanks guys ; so I did the wiggling and guess what … I heard so kind of noise and the green park light went on on dash board and the car started immediately. MIL is now home and we are both super relieved …! after some more research people suggest to take the neutral switch thingy on the tranny and clean it up with brake fluid : Has anyone done that ?

Thanks for any replies

Ok ; figured something out .....not the starte rmotor nor the wiring ::::it simply will not start In park mode but will start in neutral …all gears work . so why will it not fire in park mode .?

Sooo , I was taping on the starter motor whilst my wife was on ingnition in 5 sec implements ::::nothing happened . Though the one click sound was here after turning the key and it felt that electricity was getting to the device : a lot of oil from transmission cleaned off on the starter don’t know if this would change anything:the little wire that comes off the starter is still full of oil looks dangly and weak here is a photo . could this be the problem .? thanks for your help

Thanks Anthony ;that will be my next move

Did this and have a new batterie; all lights works etc … could it be the starter motor …?

So, today she would not fire nor crank after turning the key......new battery is in ,all lights and fans etc run when ignition is half way on . I hear one clicking sound each time and now no clicking no more . What does that mean ? Please help ! I am stuck with my mother in law !!!!!

Adding to my own topic here ....the 35520-35050 on eBay is a Fuel throttle cable not a detent cable .

thank you all for the cable update , here is a picture of the actual detente cable coming in transmission, I understand that it is not part # CA 1994 and as you can see it looks broken. So off I go to look for Toyota part Number 35520-35050 for the detent cable ! for the v6 engine , right ?!

Thanks , the cable is exactly the size you said . To install it , can I do the adjustments myself ? the static , yes will ground the engine and chassis better .

The reason I took the picture of this cable is that it looks to short to reach from top of engine down to gear lever shifter . do you you think this is the right one ? the engine now stalls when idling and I discovered static from car body like some stray currents are present and engine fires really weird sometimes it settle to normal and then gets really wobbly. new spark plugs , 02 sensor , cdistribution cables, new cap , new rotor ....sea foam for injector cleaner ....twice ! Still going up hills at 15 mph . No engine check lights limped to Globe Az , How would you prioritize in this situation ? had a mobile mechanic change distributor cap and rotor said it was the problem , changed fouled spark plug that did not fire because bad distributor. No power still . Is it the gear problem or something else ? thank you for any feedback . Ps when in 2 engine will slow down to 15 mph and screens back to 20 , 25 and back to 15 on slopes while other scream by at 60mph! my L gear has never worked !!since i bought the car

Stuck in globe Arizona with a automatic detente cable that barely pass gears .

it Was the distributor that was faulty and a bad distributor cable that was sparking and jotled the nice mobile mechanic that did not charge us an arm and a leg ! the gear shift cable picture I posted before is out a position and should be changed , that is why the gears are all going weird . It is 10 times cheaper he told me to do the gear repair cable in Mexico and on the hills just go second gear like you said . He tested the flow of gas by disconnecting the fuel line and that was a flow !!!!means really good fuel pump . Thanks God the sparking did not ignite all the spilled gasoline ! hope that can be helpful to all stranded souls out there on the road . ps : o Reilly s rocks and suggested a mobile mechanic .

The trans fluid is clear reddish brown, no smells . At least we managed to park in town next to o Reilly, the car feels like it wants to stall constantly.

After major spark plug change and distributor cable change as well as 02 sensor change , it is getting worst ....no power . drove 150 miles today , no engine light ,every time I push gas pedal there is a small jerking motion , engine is reving full blast , gears shifting like crazy , pedal to the metal all the time .no power , gas mileage horrible . Cannot diagnose ... air ? Fuel ? HELP anybody with knowledge of this Toyota between Socorro NM and Phoenix AZ that wouldn’t rape and pillage me ?!!!!

Thanks Maineah and Dereck .

It was the 15 A fuse back break tail light half melted . All well now going for a test drive till next time !!!!

After all that work !!!! changed spark plugs and distributor cables as well as o2 sensors .was ready for test drive , fired right up , automatic transmission refuses to get into gear . Hand lever will not move !! help !

So , looked for 2 nd o2 sensor around manifold exhaust of my v6 , if any body had a diagram cause I can only find one which I replaced front of cat converter .as well as where is that af temp sensor ? changed all spark plugs and distributor wires , she seems to be running ok ...still a little weird on the idle when I gas full on and stop but overall she feels right . Doing test drive around town today .

Ordering it thanks

Thank you guys very much , my wife decided to only buy one o 2 sensor new ( thank you for the link ...) and the hit the road down around Phoenix AZ ( where it’s warmer !) and see how many codes we can hit ...camp around some o Reilly’s and try to have a good fixing before we hit the Mexican border ! For the splicing of wire witho2 sensor , do wire color match !? Or need a special trick to know ? Gracias amigos .

Nice explanations, ok so it seems that since I gonna hit the road soon , I should at least buy 2 new o2 sensors and one AF sensor and replace them before new codes appear on the road let s say a few hundred miles . My wife and I live in that Rv with no other vehicle to get parts . And we feel a little nervous about these long steep hills at 20 mph !!!with every one passing us at 65 +mph . is this how you’d approach that situation ? I did get a warning triangle for slow moving vehicle though !!!!! Would work well in an Amish community !!!

I gather that there are 2 o2 sensor on the V6 would one care pulling out the 2 nd sensor and cleaning it up with gas even it it didn’t pull any code ? Since the car seem to be ruining rich anyways ?
