    1998 3rz #4 continues to misfire, tried everything Please Help?

    When I bought the noid light set I also bought a spark plug in line tester ($3.99) and modified with a piece of pvc tubing to get it to seat down on the plug. I had also pulled out the parts cannon and bought a set of "house brand" wires as well, I jumped across with the new number 4 plug wire...

    the plug looks wet with fuel, especially compared to the other, i swapped the coils and now I am thinking to throw a set of wires at it, also thinking of how to check that number four injector is getting a voltage pulse

    I had planned to install dual electrode and chose the tri just cuz A new set of wires is an easy try, none of the wire ends were discolored when the boot was retracted here is a pic of the >40k plugs that were in before the compression check

    I bit the bullet and bought the correct tool

    Thanks for the advice, all of the 4 post lifts I have seen lift the car while it is sitting on its wheels, and I have not seen one used for sale before. The 2 post lifts I have seen used are after a mechanic shop goes out of biz and it is often the landlord selling it and it needs to be...

    Crazy rear wiper arm

    Have you tried leaving it switched to on or intermittent prior to starting? Then simply turn it off and let it go back to "rest" position after a cycle or two. I don't have a rear spoiler and I use my rear wiper frequently when it rains, which here in FL is often.

    I bit the bullet and bought the correct tool

    Being a "tool junkie" it should not have taken this long, but. When I replaced my AC system components a couple of months back, I also replaced the idle pulley and all 3 drive belts (2.7L) I adjusted the tension on all of the belts and I have always tried to be on the "not too tight" side when...

    Roof rack

    I had originally thought to use a Curt but they are not wide enough without using crossbars for the Proline tracks.

    Change your spark plugs and wires!

    I purchased my 4cyl 98 with 225k on it and non working AC, when I replaced the AC system I also changed plugs, wires and coils. It had a bit of a rough idle and I ran 2 tanks of double dose Gas Shok before the new plugs and then 2 tanks after, now it purrs.

    Replacing A/C Condenser, How Do I Know if Compressor Needs Replacing?

    Before hotwiring the compressor make sure your "service line" protocols have been followed based on the type of gauges and shraeder valve connectors you are using. After disconnecting the vacuum pump from the service line and waiting whatever time you choose for leak testing, make sure to purge...
