    94 80 Series OBD1 7 flash code

    Curious what a 7 flash diagnostic code indicates. I have the factory manual and it does not indicate what 7 flashes is. In fact there are no single digit flash codes in the manual. They start at 12. There were no spaces between flashes. It was a steady uniform 7 flash, 5 seconds then repeat. Any...

    87 Pickup Snorkel Options

    After doing some research I have run into a dead end on my search for snorkel options for an 87 pickup with 22r. I’ve seen some evidence that ARB Safari Snorkel had a product at some point but I don’t see them offered any longer. I’ve seen hokey diy setups but am looking for something a little...

    Beware of AAA Engine rebuilding 1FZ-FE

    I didn’t keep close track. I know that I should have. It was more than $1500. That was the least expensive thing considering my time spent on doing it. It took many weeks. It would have been a whole lot more in shop time if I had it done professionally.

    Beware of AAA Engine rebuilding 1FZ-FE

    Thanks for asking. I figured out what the noise was after a lot of screwing around. Though it sounded like it was coming from inside the timing cover it was not. I knew it was near by so I pulled the motor and tore into it and long story short, the oil pump parts were not replaced or even...

    Beware of AAA Engine rebuilding 1FZ-FE

    Unfortunately they are a 7 hour drive from here. Not worth the gas or my time. In the end I won’t change their position. I’ll still have to pull the motor or the timing. And since the original post I’ve talked to the owner of the company. Let’s just say there’s no way to make this work in less...

    Beware of AAA Engine rebuilding 1FZ-FE

    So as stated I bought a new rebuilt 1FZ-FE from AAAEngine out of Southern California and if you want a summary of this post here it is: avoid AAA Engine at all costs. It has been an unmitigated train wreck. First I ordered the motor. Took a couple months to be shipped. Frustrating but I...

    Manafrelv/BTB out of business???

    Their website is not working, emails for support come back undeliverable and phone goes to voicemail. I have a fairly large problem with their headers that needs to be resolved asap. Are they out of business?

    Already on that path. Thanks!

    1FZ-FE cylinder 3 burning up my plug

    I have a California model and I did find that one of the cells inside the catalytic converter were partially plugged. The cell that cylinders 1-3 go to. And all three have experienced this problem. 3 is the worst though. I just struggle to imagine that a partially blocked cat could do anything...

    1FZ-FE cylinder 3 burning up my plug

    Yes. This has been discussed above. It has Perma Coils in it. They came out with the plug. Even though it was swaged and locktited and left to cure per instructions. Exhaust gas has leaked past the threads and seal. I’m trying to figure out why. No obviously or even subtle pinging or detonation...

    1FZ-FE cylinder 3 burning up my plug

    Thanks again for your response. I wanted to let everyone know that the chamber within the catalytic converter that come from the manifold that goes to cylinders 1-3 was restricted. The other side wasn’t really. I permanently fixed that problem. Not saying that it was the cause of all this...

    1FZ-FE cylinder 3 burning up my plug

    Unfortunately I did not get a pic of the old one but here’s the newest one that was in #3. Perma Coil came out with it despite using red locktite and thread compound on the plug. I also swaged the coil as per instructions to allow the knurl at the top to bite. I let the locktite cure for 24...

    Thanks. I’ll be careful going forward for sure.

    1FZ-FE cylinder 3 burning up my plug

    I’ve experienced detonation and it hasn’t really been sounding like there is pinging or detonation. I haven’t checked the timing. I gave my timing gun away years ago thinking that I’ll never have a vehicle again that will need it. Here I am.

    I’m sure it will but I’m also trying to understand why this happened.

    1FZ-FE cylinder 3 burning up my plug

    As mentioned before I experienced plugs jumping out of the holes. If due to the previous owners mistake I can’t say. A tuneup was not at the top of the list that needed to be addressed. Cap and plug wires looked newer so I didn’t bother with them. Anyway the plugs stripped out of their holes in...

    1FZ-FE cylinder 3 burning up my plug

    Upon investigation I am finding evidence that the combustion gas in leaking past the threads but it probably isn’t the plug seal. When this originally happened I had to install Perma Coils in 3 cylinders (the front 3). The plugs that were on from the previous owner were not old. After owning it...
