Hey guys... thanks for your responses. I did have the timing belt changed at 70k per the dealer suggested time to do it. The motor is turing over and runs fine at an idle. Oil pressure is normal, and the oil looks brand new. However the best way I can describe what the motor sounds like wneh you give it gas is this.... a metal bucket with gravel inside being spun at a high velocity. Sounds terrible and when you do give it gas it usually sounds like that and then dies, kills the motor. I am having it owed to a guy that works on foreign motors this afternoon. Any ideas where a guy could find a toyota motor in Ohio out of a wreck? Desperate to get this back on the road! I'm near Cinci Ohio.
Thanks again!
