I am due, it was about 4,000 miles ago.

Actually, I started doing a search after I posted a minute or two ago, good advice. Thanks!

Well, I stopped at Autozone and did a quick scan. The only error code was "P0401 - EGR insufficient flow". Anyone know the implications/quick fix for this? I am not as worried about the oil pressure readings after talking to CD. Everything was in the normal range when driving and idling...

I am looking up addresses for the local Autozone stores, I will pull the information and post the results. Thanks!

The oil pressure was doing better today on the drive in to work, but it would drop at idle and ramp back up while driving. I am about ready for an oil change, having gone about 4,000 miles on regular 10W-40 or 5W-30, I can't remember what I used last. I don't have an instrument to read the...

As I was driving tonight, my check engine light came on. About 5 minutes later, the oil pressure started dropping a good bit. It usually hovers at just below 3/4's of the way up to the top of the gauge, and it dipped to between 1/4 and 1/3 of the way from the bottom. The temperature gauge...

"It really depends on the color of the vehicle - I've taken them off blue and red trucks an it was really noticeable. You should be ok if its white or a really dark color - test a small section and see what's under it. I've never seen painted stripes on a LC (from the factory anyway) - but who...

Mine are a lot more obvious, and bright gold. Yours look pretty nice, though.

All right, I will work on some pics tonight.

Pin stripes came on my 80 purchase last month, and I am kind of bummed. I suppose that they look OK, but I would prefer they not be there. If I take them off, will the paint look really bad underneath? The paint color is dark green, btw.

Thanks for the tip, I just emailed cd asking for the FSM and some other odds and ends I need to get. Thanks again!

Thanks, that looks like a great site! I will dig around a bit there for sure. It would also be helpful to have a book that will take you through basic maintenance procedures with how-to's, and some LC-specific troublehooting. I know it sounds kind of weak, but I have never really worked on...

When it comes to mechanical knowledge, I need a lot of help getting to where everybody else here seems to have started . Don't get me wrong, the suggestions I have read on the forums are really helpful, but I am starting from zero. Is there an easy to understand repair book that you would...

I don't really have the mechanical skill to work on this without some direct and serious guidance, unfortunately. The reason I don't want to go to the dealer is that Toyota charges an arm and two legs here, and I don't want some guy that has only worked on three Camry's and a Corolla in his...

I bought a new (for me, anyway) '95 Bruiser a few weeks ago. I have already done a few things to it with a friend's help, but he is in the middle of a domestic situation and I don't want to keep bothering him when he has a bunch of other things to take care of. I want to go to someone that...
