I've been fortunate to find an honest toyota/ JDM mechanic (Nick @ToyoMotors, Phx, AZ). Went in for what I suspected a possible evap core leak ( 2007 ES350) prepared to pay $1600 for the job to find out leak was found at the schreider valves and he advised we start there before I spend such big $ on such a big job. He was right and I appreciate that!

I have a Subaru Legacy 3.0 H6 Spec B. I bkught it with full main dealer service history and the main dealers have also stamped the last service stamp with Spark Plugs done. That was 14000 miles ago of which 10000 were mine on the motorway. I removed the air filter during service and it was obvious it had not been changed half a year ago. Full of black dust and dirty as anything. I'm sick of mechanics that I do my own work (last one knackered every single one of the wheel lugs by double threading). So glad you make these videos as we obviously still have good honest mechanics out there...

Very interesting video. I have a 13 Highlander with same engine, so it’s awesome to continue to learn about it

With all due respect Sir but you are from a different breed. Your honesty is appreciated.

I had a 2012 Highlander with a bank 1 OCV on exhaust. Of course bank 1! Just as you said. I cleared the code and it never returned.

I’m my former shop, we ran BG 109 in engines at every 30,000 miles. According to BG, this reduced if not eliminated the chance for any type of carbon or contamination of oil galleys/passages/restriction points to include oil control valves. With regularly scheduled oil changes, high quality oil filters (we used Wix, Wix XP or OE) and full synthetic engine oil. Engine oil is the lifeblood of any engine. As always, excellent posting AMD. May God continue to bless you and your family!

On my 2011 Highlander started to blow cold air, dealer and other shops gave estimate for $2k-3k to repair HVAC system. I ended up doing it in my garage , ended up removing dashboard to access the servo, part cost around $300 from Toyota, and have Teachstreem on my laptop.

Excellent video. I'm prepared in case my 2010 RAV4 V6 needs a diagnostic like this.Thank you.

This is what an honest Master Mechanic should always be... we appreciate you so very much for your time and for sharing your knowledge...May the LORD keep you under HIS wings brother!

AMD, I really appreciate all the honest advice that you share with us routinely. Please keep up the great work. As far as my association with Toyota, I have been a loyal customer since 1972 with my first new Toyota being a 1972 Corolla which I paid a whopping $2500.00 for. Since then I’ve owned 18 more models which include every model except Tacoma and Celica. I am originally from New Hampshire. Been married to my wonderful wife for almost 52 years.

Just had it throw a 3rd tim last Friday. The engine runs perfectly fine, no loss of power or other abnormal noises when starting or running. It's been driving great.

If the entire auto industry is going to remain paralyzed by spotty supplies of chips for use in the seemingly DOZENS of ECU controlled functions of a vehicle, it seems the least us owners can do would be to take full advantage of the diagnostics they provide. The answer to "why is it broke" IS THERE somewhere in that telemetry. You just have to frame the question properly in your mind before hunting through the screens. Fantastic illustration of true diagnostics.

My lexus gs 450h 2006 gave this p0022 code 2021 june, diagnosed engine running and cleared the code. Also did rvs treatment + regular oil change with toyota original oil. Havent got this code again since then. Nice to see professional to explain this, maybe ill check that vvt valve filter later, already ordered new filter. :) Thank you for your very educational videos!

Mr. Car car nut I wanted to thank you for helping out the public with mechanical situation especially on Toyota! Everything you have said is 100% accurate actually on my parents 2007 highlander 2GFRE they only have like 40,000 miles on the car it’s pristine but when they first start it up and slowly go down the road you can hear chain and or VVT I rattle and it’s been like that for years! I told my father don’t touch it it goes away when it starts warming up it’s not that bad leave it alone, they change the oil twice a year cause they’re both retired and my dad runs mobil 1 full synthetic, in fact he just recently took it to a well-known shop to get the transmission fluid done and whoever did it did it incorrectly they did not know how to read the dipstick and I was pretty angry at the tech and now I’m wondering if they even installed WS fluid in the transmission, I told my father you have to check the transmission fluid hot and in park idling Long story short it ended up being like a quart and a half low and I told my father I’m glad you didn’t tow anything with this Highlander luckily he didn’t burn up a transaxle. It just makes me angry when the mechanic can’t do it the right way from the beginning, so what I did is I checked it low before driving off I drove on the freeway for about 20 min came back home and show my father how to do it.

Another top notch video! Keep up the great content.

I have a 2007 Rav4 and a 2011 Camry, both have the 2gr-fe. Both have about 230,000 miles, the rav has had the growling gear on startup since about 50,000 miles, but has never caused any issues. The Camry does not. Love this engine, will probably buy a 2017 or 2018 Camry or Avalon (which have the same engine) in 2023 and give the Camry to my son who currently has the Rav. Spark plugs on the Camry lasted over 150k, watched your video which made the job simple. Thanks car care nut, your are invaluable.

Great video. I agree with you; there are too many parts cannon ‘mechanics’. What is sad is that they think they are techs. I too have worked on cars that look like new engines because the owner changed everything else but the right part. But it gets worse, they replaced parts with aftermarket cheap parts. So I have to unravel all of this to get to the actual original issue and then fix other side effects due to cheap parts and poor installation. What is hard to explain is they would have saved so much time and money to have had the car properly diagnoses at the get go. People are always complaining about doing a diagnostic. ‘KZread says it is this.’ I don’t even argue anymore.

Stumble upon this video and I also have A/C problem on my Lexus. Thanks for guiding on how to check the motors.

My only issue is that you aren't around the corner from me.. I'd be honored to have you look after and maintain my 2016 Highlander. I don't have any problems but at 84k miles I have a wheel bearing growling in the front end. I will probably have both sides done and I don't have the proper tools/equipment or I would maybe try it myself. I have done the work on a 98 Grand Am years go, it wasn't too bad of a job. You are the best. Thank you so much for the heads up on this v6.

Thank you! Our 2013 Highlander Limited has thrown a P0014 a 3 or 4 times over the years. No performance issues; 5K oil changes, and regular maintenance. The code normally goes away in a couple of days.

Excellent video and great advice! Our ‘14 Sienna gave us the P0012 code this evening, but it seems to be running completely fine. This video just saved us a boatload of money, but sadly it’s bank 1 and time to remove the plenum again. Good news is I did this less than a year ago when I changed the spark plugs so at least I know what I’m getting into so that’s a huge plus! First step will be to erase the code and see if it comes back.
