I have heard that also,something about alternator getting too hot as it tries to charge a low/dead battery…it is best to get a dead low battery on a charger as soon as you are able to.
could be your limit switch,that switch controlls the on/off of your compressor..I dont know toyotas very well so I cant give you a location of the switch.

I have chilton repair and alldata,and I find chilton to be the better product,chilton is easier to navigate and the info is seldom wrong as alldata has led me wrong a few times.
you might want to look into identafix also.I have chilton repair and alldata,and I find chilton to be the better product,chilton is easier to navigate and the info is seldom wrong as alldata has led me wrong a few times.

I agree with the timing is a bit too high,also go with the biggest gauge wires you can to the starter.
I had several big blocks that would crank poorly with a hot engine,mostly a timing issue,allthough I live at 6000′ not sea level.I agree with the timing is a bit too high,also go with the biggest gauge wires you can to the starter.

You might find a shop that would change over the springs for a few bux.most struts are easy,IF you have the correct strut spring tool.
You might find a shop that would change over the springs for a few bux.I am not really one for mechanic in a can,but I have used engine restorer (silver can)for blow by and low compression,if you dont want to spend a bunch on the motor give it a new head gasket and some restorer.
happy motoring.
