If you can, return the AutoZone stuff and go to Toyota to get the OEM
kit for it. You won't be sorry, even if it's more money it's worth it
IMHO. Use a carb cleaner that contains the chemical "toluene".
Definately use compressed air from an air compressor (not a can) to blow
out passages and ports in the carb body, air horn, and base. Check float
height, vaccuum lines, ect, take your time and you should have no problem.
