Bruce,

Thanks for the info. Can I purchase a Leakdown Tester from many parts
store, or is this a tool that's generally only available at an auto repair
shop?

Oh by the way, do you know what DTC code P01300 means?

I don't think there is such a thing as P01300 - there is one too many

digits.

You can check OBD II codes on this site: http://www.obdii.com/codes.html

P0130 means Bank 1 Sensor 1 O2 sensor malfunction.

Ray,
He said in his first post that he has a 1995. OBD II was not used until
1996, but I understand there was a "cut-in" period where earlier models
might get the OBD II. I guess that since we have OBD II Codes, we can be
sure the car is OBD II, nevermind.

As a Toyots mechanic, do you know with any certainty what the application
schedule is for OBD II as it relates to Toyotas? I assume that 1996 was the
drop-dead year, but some makers made the change earlier.

Yeah, this guys Avalon is OBD2. Same for Camrys of that year too. Toyota
was ahead of the mandate then.

You put the engine at top dead center for that cylinder and hold it
in place, then apply compressed shop air into the cylinder through the
adapter. If you hear hissing from the tailpipe, it's the exhaust
valve, from the intake manifold and it's the intake valve.

BUT if you hear it from the exhaust and the intake; it could still be the
exhaust (Leaking into the manifold and finding it's way through another
cylinders open valve.

We just did one last week had a chipped exhaust valve; the first time I got
to use my leak down tester, and I've had it for 2 years.

Actually, I am not a Toyota mechanic, never was. I did work for Toyota for
about 15 years, had various jobs including a district service manager.

Here is a a web page with a list of OBD II implementations (you have to
scroll quite a ways down to see the list):

OBD II codes are quite a bit different from Toyota's pre-OBD II codes.
Earlier codes had just 2 digits.
