Its leaking oil from the head for some reason. Its been doing this ever since they replaced my engine after the miss-shift. :(

Its been at the dealer for this problem once before and they thought they fixed it but I guess not. They replaced the head gasket and all the bolts within the head (they were all cross threaded).

Also after the miss**** my gas pedal is stick. Its so annoying. You got to put a lot of pedal pressure to break it loose, next thing you know I'm at like 3-4k rpm taking of from a light. It looks like I don't know how to drive stick. Any possible solution to this??

i had the same problem with the leaky valve cover. after they fixed it..it never came up again. as for the sticky gas pedal....i have no clue on that one. hopefully toyota can find a solution on that. did you check your throttle cable...to see if anything's loose?

danny check the throttle cables inside the cruise control assembly.. you might be having a rproblem with them there.
