included water pump replacement , timing chain pulley, and all spark plugs replaced by my local Toyota dealer. everything now. runs smoothly , but it set me back to the total cost of $5400. I have 179000 miles ODO and was not expecting this to happen because of the Toyota brands reliability ratings.
