    How long does it take your 80 to learn?

    Truth is stranger than fiction... Today I started to debug a P0401 error code and removed the front passenger speaker to access the ECM only to find whoever was in there last wedged the wiring harness behind the speaker into the ECM bracket. Yeah, the speaker magnet left a nice imprint in the...

    Sunroof Drain Fix

    After pulling out the whole interior sans dashboard and door panels, and having my 2 sons stand by to look where the leaks were coming from, I found the front passenger's drain was clogged by a spider egg nest about 1 inch down. I cleared it with an 8 inch long cable tie and checked it by...

    Replacing belts - problem.

    I had the same experience when I did my head gasket recently. I wound up removing all of the bolts/nuts from the generator and AC. Actually, I had to replace the AC idler pulley/lock nut and tension bolt as they were frozen together. After I removed the generator lock bolt, adjusting bolt and...

    Bosal OEM Exhaust - Lifetime Warranty

    The $800 covers everything shown: front pipe w/cat, rear cat, muffler and tail section with resonator. What is not included is the 2 O2 sensors. There was no delivery because I live 3 city blocks from the parts store and my LC is waiting for EGR gaskets which do not come with a Toyota upper end...

    Bosal OEM Exhaust - Lifetime Warranty

    Well, since I am putting in a new head-gasket and my Y-pipe is cracked I dropped $800 on an OEM lifetime warranty Bosal exhaust from the manifold to the tailpipe. Even though I tow and go into the woods, the worst thing I do to the LC is commute 2 miles to work. Here are some photos with the...

    Catalytic Converter Direct Fit - 1997 Califonia vs 49 State

    My 1997 has a 1FZFE. The Toyota Factory Shop Manual shows 1 type of Emissions Control System and 1 exhaust layout. Are CA and 49 state parts the same dimensionally and functionally? Are there CA Y-pipes/converters and a 49 state Y-pipes/converters and what is the difference as the shop manual...

    Catalytic Converter Direct Fit - 1997 Califonia vs 49 State

    I have inherited a California LC and I live in Massachusetts where it is legal to replace a catalytic converter with an after-market functional equivalent. I have found numerous vendors which sell catalytic converters for 1997 49 state LCs. I am asking if anyone knows if the 49 state direct-fit...

    Catalytic Converter Direct Fit - 1997 Califonia vs 49 State

    I have a 1997 California OBDII 40thEd and I am looking for/need a new exhaust. I can get a Borla from end to end, but the local import auto shop can only get 49 state Borla catalytic converters. It is legal in MA to use replacement cats, so a 49 state is OK as long as I don't throw any error...

    Head Gasket Repair - Factory Parts of Aftermarket?

    I'm still compiling a list of what to replace while I have my ride torn down. Today I removed the hoses to the rear heater core and the radiator. Although the core looks good, the side panels at the base are rusted out. Are the radiator side panels sold separately? The AC condenser is also...

    I just sent my head (1997 1FZFE) out to Clearwater Cylinder Heads http://www.cylinder-heads.com/ and have checked the recommendations for what to replace while I have the top off. Unfortunately after my brief search for a head gasket kit I bought a ERISTIC from CNS auto parts...

    Head Gasket - Heavy lifting? Newbie

    Here are pictures of the head gasket on the block: http://users.rcn.com/mleod/HG_on_Block.htm. I noticed the head gasket failed at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position when looking at the pictures. Is this indicative of a warped head? I removed 300ml of antifreeze from the #6 cylinder when...

    Head Gasket - Heavy lifting? Newbie

    Thanks for the offer. I have posted a picture of my garage here http://users.rcn.com/mleod/hoist.htm. You can see I went with a hoist because of the condition of my garage. The top came off easily with the hoist and I hope it will go on just as smoothly. I have the head off and it went well...

    Head Gasket - Heavy lifting? Newbie

    Thanks for the offer guys, I'm in Worcester. Going with a local rental for a hoist would run me $80, ($40x2) and CAP down the road has a 2 ton folding for $180. I have to wait for a friend to show up with their pickup truck to get the lift this afternoon. The real bummer is that I backed my LC...

    Head Gasket - Heavy lifting? Newbie

    Hello! Great site, I've been reading for awhile, as I am in the middle of doing a 1997 1FZFE head gasket after a engine overheated. I'm doing it by the book (factory shop manual) and I am going to unbolt the head today but I was wondering: 1. How heavy is the head with the intake manifold...
