Well, I finally had her towed home last night. The stoke meter is pegged at 11. Let the head gasketing begin!
*edit- The local dealership quoted me $2500 to do the HG, which is about $1500 less than all the indie shops I called. I'm going to...
That all goes out the door when you shut a warm engine off and your oil pressure goes to 0 immediately while the coolant drops off over several hours. Hoping your pressure test shows a good head gasket.
I also was expecting the worst when you...
Indeed! ;) But seriously, if you haven't done much research you'll see that LED bulbs in housing that weren't designed for them (non-projector housings) not only are a huge nuisance to oncoming traffic but they actually put out less usable light...
Questions I always ask prospective buyers:
1a. What is your total budget for this vehicle, so purchase, maintinance/repairs after purchase, and long term maintinance/repairs?
1b. What percentage of repairs or work will you be doing yourself vs...
And if that's the case you'll want to undo that quick (you can test by touching that to the positive terminal with engine off and listing for the click.
Also, ground on these is typically black on white, rather than white on black
Good on you for giving a go at the diy rattle can paint. The one suggestion I have is instead of using the Rust-Oleum clear coat, I would look into using a quality UV-resistant 2K clear.
While I am a fan of Rust-Oleum paint, and I use it on most...
That is not a MAF sensor. Your 91 uses a AFM or VAF sensor which contains contacts that run the fuel pump. I'm guessing you. damaged those contacts by trying to remove the electrical connector the incorrect way.
You're saying the flap was opening and closing? Because it's air flow that opens it against the resistance of the spring which tries to keep it shut. There's no mechanism inside there that would cause it to open.
BTW, you didn't mess with the 2...
Replacing gears is not some sort of voodoo magic or impossible. The only "specialty" tools you need are a dial indicator and magnetic base, neither of which are hard to come by or even all that expensive. You've got two adjustments to make if you...
Not that'll provide enough current for electric trailer brakes. You will need to run a 10 or 8 AWG wire from the battery back, with a 30A self resetting circuit breaker inline
for that run a separate fused wire.
the trailer plug is accessible by any undesireable when the vehicle is left parked and can be easily tampered with. I have mine wired separetely with a auto reset circuit breaker for that wire / pin
There isn't such a wire, and if there was, it almost certainly wouldn't be sized or fused adequately for a trailer.
But again, if you are running a wire to the battery, it must be fused "to be safe" (that's the whole pointof a fuse, right?) It...
Uh, any wire has to be fused, especially one not factory routed and running the length of the vehicle. It's not just about the load it's expected to pull under normal conditions, it's to prevent a fire in the event of a short due to chafing or...
Wow, old indeed and also very dated info. ToolsRUs did a pretty in depth DOE and basically proved the factory spec to be too low, and that 25 ft lbs is a good value for stock tires
I had a Camry do something similar a while back, it was a loose component of the e brake in the drum.
Lift the rear and spin each wheel. Follow the noise
