2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 3.4L MIL Lamp on VIN: JT3HN86ROY
Thanks for all the help. Can't believe I missed the fact it was under warranty. Won't make that mistake again. I waited a while to close. But the custumer tells me no light! She is happy. Thanks again. Trouble codes: P0420.

2000 Toyota Sienna CE 3.0L No Start, Cuts out VIN: 4T3ZF19C6Y
Problem solved with special thanks to Daryl from North Carolina. It was indeed a small tooth from the crank gear that was broken. We had looked at the gear when doing the timing belt, and were not happy with its condition, but there wasn't any previous problem... Trouble codes: P1300 (Igniter Curcuit).

Well the customer had just been to a tire store and said that the air quit working immediately there after. When we ran out of options we ordered an a/c relay and found an open spot on the fuse box and plugged it in and it worked. Dont know why it was removed ...
