I still have this if anyone is interested..............

I'm not a mechanic but I have friends that are and you can't get the oil out of the torque converter, so the way to go is an oil exchange. I did mine at Jiffy Lube, and what they do is run the engine and pump oil in as it is pumped out. I'm not sure how it works out with the volumes, but...

I was, and it was clear to the cannister and back as well.

Yes, the cannister was out when I got the code. More on this after answering a few other questions: Where are the ports? .... If you pull the cannister, it lifts straight up. Turn it over and the bottom is the part to cut off. Once you cut off the bottom, there are a couple of springs...

I have 5 liters in 2 cans still sealed in the bag and about 2 liters in a partial. Pick up only $75. Long Beach, CA

The system failed me AGAIN, and I went to Old Man Emu suspension. I think it's probably the pump, but can't swear to the condition of anything. I just finished removing everything last week. Free to anyone that can use them to fix something, not to make money on. I live in Long Beach, CA and...

Just so happens I do. The one pic is the valve in the large compartment, which is the gas tank vent line. If you zoom it, it is noticeably missing (to me anyway). The other picture is the valve in the small compartment and shows the valve with the check ball. There is only one valve there...

I have the 01 Lexus model, and I've had the pressure build up problem several times. I've worked in the gasoline refining world for 30 plus years, and the amount of vapors surging out of my gas tank gave me the whillies. My thought was that a full tank of fuel would slosh around and get into...

Thanks folks, you just saved me from buying a new gas cap. I've had this happen twice. Both at high altitude and bumping around a lot. Most recently above Bishop in the Coyote Flats area, which I saw previously mentioned. The pressure build up has been tremendous, and scares me with how...

I hope this is the most logical spot to post. I've been having AHC issues and am awaiting a new Techstream setup since I hosed the software that was working before, but that's another thing. After reading here I just finished pulling my front sensors, cleaning and checking them. They were...

LBridges, thanks I appreciate the response, and good information too.

YardPig, you are right. Thanks for the link. I'll give it a go.

Sorry to start a new thread, but I'm confused as heck. I'd like to know a few things. 1) Can you read trouble codes, AHC pressures, and other information with just a cable, such as X-Hourse, and a Windows 7 laptop? 2) How do you activate Techstream? I see lots of places to download the...

musthave, check your Etsy mail please.
