I wanted mention a few things I learned doing this. I used a vacuum oil bottle to evacuate the old oil, works great, no mess. I soaked my reservoir in parts cleaner all night, but you can't really see down in there, so i'm still not convinced how clean it is. I was really surprised (it's...

I did mine last weekend; no issues at all.

it's hard to say it's the exact same issue. but i really observed it going down the freeway. even though i felt sure if it was going lean it would set a code, i felt like it was a fuel delivery issue. i started with the fuel pump and pressure regulator but didn't fix it. anyway, i took it to...

I rented a radiator pressure checker from local auto parts store. put it on the radiator, put about 10 psi on it and wait. you'll see where the coolant is escaping. in my case, it was cylinders 1&2. i'd suggest pulling out all the spark plugs in case it is a bad head gasket; you want to see...

i have tried applying only the e-brake coming out of the garage, and no noise with that. the pads are new, maybe 1k miles on them. at lunch, i drove in reverse down the street - no brakes, no squeal.

thanks for the reply, i've both convinced myself it's in the front and don't believe it's a brake problem at the same time. i sure wouldn't have thought of the u-joint. i think we're having some decent weather this weekend, i'll have a look underneath.

when i'm rolling in reverse, down the driveway (really anytime in reverse) it's so loud; squeals like a garbage truck coming to a stop. otherwise, moving forward, never hear a sound, just great braking. i did the tacoma brake upgrade, so it has new callihan pads and rotors, maybe one year...

mine never really bothered me until after i took them off; i'll never go back.

it's the idle control valve <- (it's right there in the name "idle control). take it out, clean it, it might work better for a while; start looking for a new one.

what's important is that you have a matched set of injectors, that all flow the same, and can meet your motors fuel needs. i have some 305cc Lexus injectors on my supercharged motor with a stock ECU; it runs beautifully. after i went through some injector failures, i'll go out on a limb and...

it's a shift lock override button. enables you to move shift lever with key out.

thanks to someone on this forum, gave me the idea for the perfect spot for the AFR gauge. this is just the perfect spot for a gauge. [/IMG] i also installed some LED dome lights; it makes such a huge difference. i've got all the pieces now for swapping in a 2002 airbox/AFM, if it warms up...

this is very helpful; thanks. I should have known that Toyota had a better design than i imagined.

sorry for the semi-hijack of your thread.... i was looking at taking my hitch off and it feels like all the inside the frame nuts just turn with the bolt. I don't see how you could ever get anything inside the frame for backup. So my plan, was to just cut the heads off and then drill all the...

if you can zoom in on the pic, you can get the part number. when i was searching for the rubber seals, i just guessed a 1990 non-turbo supra and got the right part. I bought my injectors off ebay, so just did a part number search. Otherwise, i guess you could go for late 80's thru mid 90's...
