Bracket on the dip stick tube is in it's correct location but needs to be rotated towards the coils. A plastic clamp clips onto the bracket & holds the wiring harness running in the front of the coils. I broke my clamp & have been searching for the part # replacement from toyota with no luck to date. I have the harness now secured to the bracket with a zip tie but my search for the correct clamp continues. The elusive plastic clamp is similar to the plastic clamps securing the wiring harness that runs along the right side (exhaust side) of the valve cover, the same harness that is secured by the bracket on the dip stick.

Better believe it will. I put a stainless "shorty" tri-y header ( 4 runners into 2, and then into the collector ) on my 2000 4WD Tacoma with 3RZ, about 4 years ago, and didn't change anything else at the time. ( factory CAT, exhaust, and air box/intake ) I was really surprised at the added power, more than I anticipated. Bought my Taco brand new. It had 360,000 miles on it, when I installed the header. At 378,000 miles, I finally blew a head gasket. ( NO complaints here, I worked the snot out of this little truck, towing trailers/loads 5 days a week plus my 17' bass boat w/115 hp Yamaha outboard on weekends, playing in the mud/offroad, etc. ) I totally rebuilt my engine using LC Engineering's master rebuild kit, bored 0.020" over, and their Stage 1 head, but with Super Tech valves ( OE size ) instead of OE valves, due to the OE valves not being available anywhere at the time. ( around May 2022 ) So now I have much better valves. I have since bought LCE's Pro-Flow exhaust system plus a free flowing CAT & 2 new Denso 02 sensors, and K&N cold air intake, but immediately swapped the oiled air filter for a permanent dry filter sold by INJEN TECHNOLOGIES. It was a direct fit, and because this air filter uses no oil, I don't have to worry about gumming up my mass air flow sensor. ( All bought from LCE, except for the dry filter. ) I'm about to go ahead and buy their header for the 3RZ engine & do away with the old header I'm running now, because I'm sure the LCE header is even better. Also bought & installed a set of 4200 series Bilstein shocks ( same ones put on the 1st gen TRD Tacoma's ), and my truck runs stronger & better than ever. These Bilstein shocks cost much less than they did 22 years ago. Back then, these shocks retailed for $150 EACH. You can get the front shocks today for about $98 each, and the rears for about $85 each. These shocks diminished all of the body roll around turns. Worth every dollar spent. New bumpers, a fender, body work & paint is next.........I'll have a "new 1st gen Tacoma" all over again........only much better than before.

@@AD-kq2nxSpark plugs, HT leads/plug connectors, or even coil packs. It will present more readily when you stomp the accelerator. Weird idle (overly high or low), check IAC. Also check the EVAP canister vacuum is still hooked up and not leaking - this leads to ‘lumpy’ idle, not bogging down on accelerating though.
If you didn’t have your Speedo refigured for the larger tires then you hit 60 a few seconds earlier
Wow, my ‘87 22re 4x4 is faster than that.
Did you ever figure out the issue?
My 96 stock Tacoma hits 60 in under 9 seconds?? I have the 3.4 v6
See all my other comments in your related videos. Sounds just like mine when I goose it under an overpass, lol. Loud as hell.
Wise to also insert a long screw driver into the #1 spark plug hole to see if that piston is in fact at top dead center.
Bought my 2000 3RZ Taco 4x4 brand new. Finally blew a head gasket at 378,000 miles. I went ahead & rebuilt the entire engine & new Stage 1 head from LCE. Probably could've just replaced the head & head gasket, but I wanted it all refreshed. Glad I did.
Did you remove the idle air control valve to clean & test it? Would also need a new rubber O-ring type gasket to re-install it. A dirty/malfunctioning/leaking idle air control valve will cause high idle. If ya addressed this & it still had a high idle, did ya ever figure it out? Curious to know.
I wonder how that happened to the cam lobe & bucket???
See my other 2 comments ( 1 is a response to another viewer ) below. You can get rid of that oiled air filter on your K&N and replace it with a permanent dry version sold by INJEN TECHNOLOGIES. Direct fit. That's what I did as soon as I bought my K&N cold air intake. No more worries about gumming up the mass air flow sensor due to oiling an air filter. ( Many have complained about this. )
I can relate to those crappy factory cast iron exhaust manifolds. Mine cracked too. Replaced em 4 times. If you're interested, see my lengthy response to another viewer below. Love my 3RZ Taco 4x4.
I would be curious to see power gains with a supercharge; I feel power around 3.5k rpm but not any in the low end
Mr 2rz, 5 speed is about 12 seconds give or take. Completely stock
I'm not surprised. I'm not sure if the tires are the main issue or if the engine is "tired" (had some compression concerns in the #4 cylinder or if the transmission has been extra sloppy since its rebuild 30K or so ago.
@@craigphillips1047 I rebuilt the 3RZ engine in my 2000 4x4 w/auto trans @ 378,000 miles, due to a blown head gasket, but went ahead & rebuilt the whole engine including a new Stage 1 head from LCE. Now at 390,000 miles & still no issues with my transmission. I towed trailer loads at work of around 2000 to 2800 lbs throughout the week at work, about 80% of the time during the first 250,000 miles on mine. But I never ran those giant 33" tires & lift kit either. I've always kept 265's or 30" tires on it for most of the time. No body lift. Right now, I'm running the smallest tire you can run on these, a 225. Truck is quicker now vs the 265's or 30" tires, and way quicker than what you're getting with those 33's. I can just about guarantee it's those big tires.
@@howabouthetruth2157 I should have kept some steel rims and put some tiny tires on and see what I get. I have the big tundra breaks so I will probably need to find some cheap steel 1st gen tundra rims. I think I had some 26” tires when I bought it in 2001; it felt like a rocket ship compared to my carbureted 87 with 31 tires (albeit 5 speed manual)
@@craigphillips1047 Oh yeah, I bet it did. Seems like the 225's are about a 26" tire. I could be wrong, I would have to go check. All I know, is 225's are the smallest tire I can go with on mine.
@@craigphillips1047 I ordered a 3rz motor for the truck and some headers. Got the headers, and I might put them on the 2rz just for a little bit extra power. Wanna get a cold air intake for it as well. Nothin too much, just enough to go when I need it to
run it with the ECT button on, higher revs
ECT only does high revs when you are babying it; good for towing.
@@craigphillips1047 it does it all the time. Is yours broke?
@@calebmelton5989 i meant if I floor it it doesn’t make any difference if the etc button is engaged.
Slightly different on my 2.3 Tacoma but the system is the same using a nut and allen key. Had a low idle that was stalling out. Now it's perfect. Thanks a mil.
Glad it helped!
my 2000 3rz tacoma with the auto got just under 10 secs lol
2wd or 4wd, with what tires? Completely stock.?
Ya won't be going that quick with giant 33" tires.
@@craigphillips1047 2wd everything stock just muffler delete
@@howabouthetruth2157 ur right
@@kagxx So what size tires are you running? Just curious.

Do the feel a difference (power gain)with LC Engineering header
Turning off the overdrive may yield faster results. I have to turn off my overdrive to merge on the interstate.
You maybe correct. However, it hits 60 MPH in 2nd gear.
My 4x4 Manual Tacoma 3RZ did 0-60 in under 9 seconds. Something is seriously wrong with your engine.
Its the automatic. My 2wd auto is just as slow
9 seconds seems a little quick but I would be curious what I would get with a 5 speed manual. Needs 4.56 gears to deal with the 33" tires too. Bodylift might cause a little wind resistance too.
Not with 33" tires ya won't. Put a lift kit & 33" tires on yours & just watch how it slows it down.
Im lucky enough to have a 1997 toyota sr5 v6 4x4
Nice truck man.
Thanks 👍
You really need the manual transmission to get the best from these engines. My little 2WD w/ 2RZ & the same header hits 60 in about 1/2 this amount of time.
Yeah, its been tough to find a compatible wiring harness. I have one from a 98 prereunner but I know there will be some missing wires. Definitely, wish I had waited a bit and gotten a manual transmission back in 2001.
Are you running big 33" tires? That makes all the difference in the world. You can run the 3RZ 4x4 w/automatic down to a 225 tire, and it will feel like a race car, compared to these big 33" meats.
@@howabouthetruth2157 yep I recall when I had tiny tires; when I got it. I’m gonna see if I can find some tundra 16” wheels and do an experiment
@@craigphillips1047 Back when I bought mine brand new in 2000, the Toyota dealers had them come with 265's, which are practically a 30" tire, just shy of it. Ran those for years, but I now take care of my elderly mother, so I switched down to the 225's, so she can get in & out of the truck. The first time I downsized to the 225's and took off from the tire shop, it felt like a little hot rod compared to the bigger 265's.
@@howabouthetruth2157 truth. I have 225's on my 4runner and it jumps with the 419 gear ratios
Well ...I'm about to dog mine. Never really brought it over 3200...
Go for it, let me know what you get!
Slow asf lol
Yes it is!
It's those giant tires man.
I’ve got a 3rz I want to get headers. Hopefully make a little more power lol
Better believe it will. I put a stainless "shorty" tri-y header ( 4 runners into 2, and then into the collector ) on my 2000 4WD Tacoma with 3RZ, about 4 years ago, and didn't change anything else at the time. ( factory CAT, exhaust, and air box/intake ) I was really surprised at the added power, more than I anticipated. Bought my Taco brand new. It had 360,000 miles on it, when I installed the header. At 378,000 miles, I finally blew a head gasket. ( NO complaints here, I worked the snot out of this little truck, towing trailers/loads 5 days a week plus my 17' bass boat w/115 hp Yamaha outboard on weekends, playing in the mud/offroad, etc. ) I totally rebuilt my engine using LC Engineering's master rebuild kit, bored 0.020" over, and their Stage 1 head, but with Super Tech valves ( OE size ) instead of OE valves, due to the OE valves not being available anywhere at the time. ( around May 2022 ) So now I have much better valves. I have since bought LCE's Pro-Flow exhaust system plus a free flowing CAT & 2 new Denso 02 sensors, and K&N cold air intake, but immediately swapped the oiled air filter for a permanent dry filter sold by INJEN TECHNOLOGIES. It was a direct fit, and because this air filter uses no oil, I don't have to worry about gumming up my mass air flow sensor. ( All bought from LCE, except for the dry filter. ) I'm about to go ahead and buy their header for the 3RZ engine & do away with the old header I'm running now, because I'm sure the LCE header is even better. Also bought & installed a set of 4200 series Bilstein shocks ( same ones put on the 1st gen TRD Tacoma's ), and my truck runs stronger & better than ever. These Bilstein shocks cost much less than they did 22 years ago. Back then, these shocks retailed for $150 EACH. You can get the front shocks today for about $98 each, and the rears for about $85 each. These shocks diminished all of the body roll around turns. Worth every dollar spent. New bumpers, a fender, body work & paint is next.........I'll have a "new 1st gen Tacoma" all over again........only much better than before.
V4?

Hey! Love the setup you got, I have all the exact same exhaust parts you have and am about to do a cat delete on my Tacoma, have you had any issues with the check engine light popping with the test pipe on there? If so, how have you remedied this? I was thinking of going ahead and installing an o2 sensor simulator to prevent any issues but wanted to hear from someone who has the exact setup I do. I'm trying to see if the simulator can be skimped for a minute before I either have to buy a cat or just keep it catless like originally intended. Wish all the best and love to see another Tacoma that's had some love over the years!
No check engine lights so far. I have a stand off connection for the rear O2 sensor ready as option one. Let me know if you find a signal generator; I couldn’t find one anymore.
@@craigphillips1047 good to know! There was a specific o2 simulator for the exhaust being made by URD for a while but its been discontinued by the looks of it. The other one that required a bit of wiring is made by Magnum Tuning. Not quite the plug and play that was on the URD sim but it seems to work well enough and really is just wiring to a 12v ignition source and to the downstream o2 sensor.
@@seanbergevin9777 how’s your setup sound in the mid range? I’m not too happy with how loud it is.
@@craigphillips1047 My Pro Flow exhaust from LCE is loud as hell in the mid range. Louder than I expected or wanted, for sure. Runs better though.
I ran mine ( 2000 Taco 4x4, 3RZ, auto trans ) without the cat & this test pipe for a few months, and never had a check engine light. But I could tell I was losing a little power in the low end, right at every gear shift of the automatic. Felt like a little timing was being pulled out for 200 to 300 rpm's, then the power came back in. Bought the same Pro Flow exhaust from LCE and the free flowing cat with 2 new Denso 02 sensors, and got my low end power back. LCE's website even says you'll always lose some low end power when deleting the cat. I've been running a shorty tri-y header all along.

Yeah no problem; wish I could have found a local shop to do a before and after dyno. This is the best I could think of.
I just replaced mine it helped
