Questions About 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser Engines

This is just your Land Cruiser testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Toyota Land Cruiser making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Toyota Land Cruiser engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

Top Toyota Land CruiserCar Battery Questions

Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Land Cruiser’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Land Cruiser, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser

  • Why is my Toyota Land Cruiser oil light illuminated?  Your Toyota Land Cruiser oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota Land Cruiser oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser

  • When should Toyota Land Cruiser spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota Land Cruiser mean? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota Land Cruiser fuel injectors? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Suspension Service & Repair for 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser

When you first bought your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Land Cruiser feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

Questions About 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension

  • What can cause my Toyota Land Cruiser to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Land Cruiser's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Land Cruiser's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Land Cruiser's steering and suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

A/C Service for Your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser

Our technicians will work to solve your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C problems to the best of their ability. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

While your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Questions About 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Land Cruiser A/C? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Land Cruiser’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Land Cruiser’s A/C to work?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Land Cruiser is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Transmission Services for 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Land Cruiser’s performance. 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Land Cruiser transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your Land Cruiser isn’t working at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 1991 Land Cruiser services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. If you think there’s something wrong with your Land Cruiser’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

1991 Toyota Land Cruiser Transmission Questions & Answers

  • Does my Land Cruiser's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 1991 Land Cruiser’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Land Cruiser? Yes, your Toyota Land Cruiser can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Land Cruiser ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota Land Cruiser if it has a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Land Cruiser if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.

Vehicle Inspection for 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service.

We’ll follow the battery inspection with a visual check of your Toyota Land Cruiser’s lights, windshield wipers, filters, fluid levels, belts, hoses, tires, and alignment.

Every service performed at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care will include a Courtesy Check, but you can also request a Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser if you suspect there may be a bigger problem.

Common 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser Vehicle Inspection Questions

  • When does my Toyota Land Cruiser need an inspection? You drive your car, day in and day out, so you know it best. If you notice unusual engine noises or you can’t shake the feeling that something is 'off,' start with a Courtesy Check to stay ahead of potential issues.
  • My 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser failed the state inspection test. Can you fix it? Don’t panic! Come in for a complete inspection today and we’ll find (and repair) the root cause before you have your vehicle retested.
  • What's the ideal timing for a full vehicle inspection on my Toyota Land Cruiser?  It’s generally a good idea to get a complete vehicle inspection for your Toyota Land Cruiser before a road trip and/or when something strange occurs and you are unable to find the cause. Signs something is up include dashboard lights illuminating, odd noises coming from the engine, and your steering feeling loose or tight.

Radiator Service & Repair for 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, Toyota recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Toyota Land Cruiser cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’ll take excellent care of your 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About Toyota Land Cruiser Radiators

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Toyota?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What can cause my Land Cruiser to overheat?  Your Toyota Land Cruiser engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • What can cause a Land Cruiser radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?  Air pockets in your Land Cruiser’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
