I want to identify a part on my engine. The shop reference manual, Chilton’s, and Haynes lack complete diagrams that identify every part. Is there somewhere online? 87 Toyota Pickup ---

I think the best thing you can get is a copy of the factory service manual. Check out Ebay to get one at a good price. ---

can you post a picture…someone will identify it for you. Or you can go to your dealership and ask the parts department for help ---

When I wrote ‘shop reference manual’ I meant ‘factory service manual’. Astonishingly, to me, it lacks pictures or diagrams of the engine that identify every feature. ---

I’m not confident that this obscure feature will be identifiable from a picture. The dealership probably knows, but the closest is 10 miles away. I was hoping to avoid a trip.
