2004, and I honestly don't remember the mileage. I've only had it a couple years, maybe 135-140k? 165k on it currently.

I hope I never have to go through that... Anyhow, $12.99 for a new oil pressure switch and I think the oil stopped dripping completely.

It was indeed a frozen oil control valve. Got that fixed a couple months ago. Now I'm looking for an oil leak. Looks like it's coming from the oil control switch, right next to the oil filter. Hoping that's the only place it's leaking...

Thanks for your input, I do appreciate it. I may just have to take the truck to the dealership as I can't seem to find any Toyota specific mechanics/shops around here. I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. Ha.

Thanks. I'm so frustrated with this damn truck... I should have bought another Civic Si.

So I'm assuming I should mentally prepare for a $3500 repair bill...? It's times like this I wish I would have went with my gut and just bought another Civic. Haha.

Yup, bought it used. Little crap like leaky trans cooler lines, new suspension, lower control arms, ball joints, exhaust work, wheel bearings, seized calipers, etc., etc... Last week I installed a new alternator. It's just incredibly draining at this point. The little things I can deal...

Hey, all. I'm ready to drive this truck into the river. I've been dealing with the VSC/trac off and CEL lights going on and off for the last year or so. They'd go on, then they'd go off after a day or two. About a month ago I started to get a weird, rough idle but only when in gear either D...

I use this POS I paid $30 for, 3-4 years ago. I kind of want to replace it with a skydome, but they're a bit more than $30. Ha.

Honda Civic.

I was totally unprepared and didn't expect to see a Defender coming my way. I can still smell that oil burning!

Alcohol + no screwdriver handy. Shit happens, haha. Is it still $30 for a blade swap?? I'm sure someone could put a tip on it. It used to really bother me, but when it looks like this I don't worry about using it like when it was new.

Knocked the AF out of whack on my 5d in January, and nobody will touch it.....So I bought a 6d. Not sold on it yet, but it's 'ok.' Has way too many buttons [crap].

I don't care what other people think at this point, I've been trying to figure this shit out for 7 years. You've likely seen every one of these countries on your tell-lie-vision over the last 10+ years. You were probably told that 'we the people' need to go there to 1) spread democracy...
