  1. Need a mechanic recommendation in Houston, TX - someone who can actually do diagnosis on an older vehicle -
  2. Yes- doesn't matter if you keep your foot on the accelerator - it will die as soon as its put in gear. I forgot to mention that I verified the head gaskets were replaced - per the recall - sometime in 2001. -Anthony
  3. Hi All - I'm relatively new to the forum, wife and I bought '93 Toyota Winnebago Warrior 21RB. We test drove it and it ran fine, but the day the owner was going to bring it to the mechanic for inspection it started stalling on him - we made him a lower offer and towed it to mechanic. Prior to our buying it the truck had a few things done to address this stalling issue- new (refurb) computer, new ignition coil and coil igniter. Once we bought it, our 1st mechanic thought it might be bad gas, after sitting on it for a couple of weeks (and doing nothing) he drained the fuel tank, and also replaced the fuel pump. Then the engine would run and not stall in idle, but dies when it goes to 1st. He thought it may be a wiring issue - but didn't have the reader to test the OBD-1 computer & suggested finding a mechanic that did, in case the computer would send a code. We weren't very happy with that mechanic anyways - very slow, and non-responsive - also charged us for diagnostic time ($300 - in addition to the $500 for fuel pump replacement and draining tank). We had it towed via AAA to another mechanic we've worked with before & they said they'd done work on older vehicles and would be able to diagnose. They have replaced tested and replaced the original air flow monitor - but that hasn't solved the problem either. These guys only have 1 tech who really works on older cars, and they are fitting our Winnebago in when they don't have more pressing jobs; so its taking an inordinate amount of time to diagnose the issue, not to mention fix it. All that to say - any ideas? Is this a typical issue that comes up? Thanks and sorry if I'm not terribly succinct.
  4. Hi - it has less than 100k miles, the tires do appear to be in good condition - no dry rot.... Also I verified with Toyota that the head gasket recall was addressed on this vehicle by a previous owner, the only other major mechanical thing I would think may need to be done (if it wasn't already which I'm not sure of) would be the timing belt & maybe brakes. - Anthony Go To Topic Listing General Discussion
  5. Hi All - I'm new to the forum - we're in TX and planning a round the US road-trip through National Parks primarily. We have an opportunity to buy a local 93' Toyota warrior, it looks to be in very good condition, no rust on the undercarriage, everything seems to work. Took it for a test drive and it runs good. We're gonna get it checked out by a mechanic and assuming he says all systems go - I'm wondering what I should offer... Seller wants 7k...I feel like it is likely that I'll drop at least 1-2k on this thing before our time is up and then need to resell... Thoughts? -Tony
