    Ticking time bomb TICK TICK TICK: Spark plugs Alert Alert Alert!

    My tick comes from cracked exhaust manifold I think (not the plugs). If you are in there I would likely change the plugs, inspect the coils. Plugs - dry install (no copper etc) - 17 ft.lbs - worked a treat for me. Good luck.

    The gas fume problem

    Can confirm my car has a new radiator & the clutch fan is good. I have witnessed thermostat opening at correct temp (184F) but my car typically runs 190F….. (ref data file). Temp is solid - does not vary ever - so I live with it.

    The gas fume problem

    Hi - this may be a bit 'empirical' for your taste - but I have a similar car (age/mileage/duty/Colorado) - I traced my gas tank pressure problem back to the charcoal canister (based on research of this forum & other people's experience) - so I purchased a used one off eBay for $100 - changeout...

    Need help identifying genuine Denso 90919-02230 coil packs from fakes

    Went with someone else’s ‘actual’ experience as opposed to ‘fooling myself’ - I hear what you are saying but where’s the ‘proof’ - often genuine items are available for less on global market than in USA (eg partsouq) - due to the coil’s stellar reviews thought it was worth the chance - so far so...

    Airbox - broken nipple - needs repaired

    I think this will be my first attempt - I'm gonna get some irrigation nipples (different sizes) and see what is most suitable - will also look to see if there is a suitable bulkhead fitting - as ever, for aging vehicles & motorcycles - JB weld is king :D

    Ticking time bomb TICK TICK TICK: Spark plugs Alert Alert Alert!

    after 3k miles - checked LH bank of cylinders - 2/4/6/8 - all plugs tight - however set torque wrench to 17ftibs and snugged them up slightly, from previous 15 ftlbs. Will do same with RH bank in due course.

    Advice Bluetooth OBD2 Readers and Apps?

    OK - you prompted me to action as I am towing the camper to Moab this weekend - I just purchased OBD Fusion + the Toyota add-on ($20 total) - can now see the 'AT fluid temp' - takes 10 mins to install - can get a dashboard on iPhone (IOS) - works with my existing 'Foseal' plug-in wifi OBD...

    Charcoal Canister Replacement Option

    after reading all the threads - absolutely impressed by the ingenuity - I was fast coming to your conclusion - especially when you consider potential fuel leaks in the engine bay - my wife would beat me senseless, especially if there was an incident when the High Schoolers were driving it.......:)

    Grease Upper Control Arm Ball Joints

    Another item of passing relevance - I was greasing the drive shafts last night - couldn't get onto two (2) of the Ujoint zerx fittings - too tight. did a bit of research and purchased this item - LockNLube Narrow Needle Dispenser - it fits on the grease gun adapter - it pushes the zerx ball off...
