They have already paid the loan back. Way ahead of schedule. Go own your Toyota, that's what you are deserving of anyways. Proud to be an American. Own American, and won't send that much money to another country.

It is running rich, it probably need a mass air flow sensor, do not drive it any further, you will ruin the catalytic converter, and other emissions related parts. Have it towed to the repair shop.

Yes there is a mass air flow sensor, they started using them in about 1983. It is located near the intake hose. It will have an electrical plug in.

I have the harness from the donor car, as well as the speakers, stereo, and BCM. Do I need to wire the BCM (body control module) into the truck to make it work? If I have to install the BCM, I may as well put the factory alarm into the truck, for the keyless entry. I loved the way it sounded in...

This isn't something the average guy can accomplish. It takes alot of training to complete this job. The pinion needs to be set near perfect, the gear lash needs to have the right right pattern. Thrust bearing, and everything else can be destroyed within a few miles if this isn't done right...

No need to change it because it is a timing chain, which rarely if ever fails. They wear out as the engine does.

Just a guess here without actually seeing the car, is the torque converter lock-up switch has failed. You have an automatic with an overdrive, with a lock up converter. The switch has failed, not allowing the converter to disengage when you are stopped. A properly working switch locks up at...

The problem you are describing is probably a faulty body control module. The best way to fix this issue is to take it to a GM dealership. The testing tools, and procedures are proprietary.

Honda doesn't have a V-4 does it? They have four cylinders, and V-6's for sure, but a V-4 is a volkswagen or subaru engine isn't it?

That's bad etiquette anywhere!!!

Try checking the coils, those will cause what you are trying to explain what is happening.

Buy the Camaro, and do what I did with mine, I have an older Suburban I use for the winter driving months. I get where I want to go with my Camaro, but it is difficult compared to driving the Suburban. So the Camaro stays in the garage until the nice weather comes back.

Is is an automatic?, make sure it is engaged full into the Park position. I know this sounds stupid, because you have probably done that a few thousand times. But if you are in a hurry and panic, you may not recognize you did this. Try moving the steering wheel back and forth (gently) as you...

How long has it been since the fuel filter has been changed? It almost sounds like a starvation type of problem. That would be what I would try first. If the fuel pressure isn't at the manufactures recommended pressure, that will cause a hesitation. Another quick check is to look at the cap and...
