    What is this, and why won't it shut off??

    I just rehooked the battery up, and the ABS actuator didn't start running. So I removed the ABS fuse, started it and ran it around the block, then shut it back down and replaced the fuse. ABS light went out, and the actuator turned off with the car. So maybe it was just a fluke.

    Yes Dan - everything was off, and the key was out of the ignition. I thought that was quite strange.

    What is this, and why won't it shut off??

    Driving home today, ABS light came on. Got home, shut off engine, went inside. Came back out 10 minutes later, and hear something humming under the hood. This sucker is still running, getting hot, and not smelling too good. Key is completely out of the ignition, I had to pull the battery to...

    Sun visor the (POI&)(&*^*&% thing

    I finally found something that works well. I got a couple of 1 inch square STRONG magnets (rare earth work well), and worked them inside the headliner just in front of the sunroof. Then I went to the hardward store and found 2 of those chrome metal "bands" that go on glass stereo cabinet...

    Deleting the EGR

    Andrea - I'm not asking if I should use a 4.7Kohm resistor. This has already been discussed in another thread (the one you posted in also), and determined that pretty much anything between 2Kohm and 10Kohm will prevent the 0401/0402 code. I'm going with a 4.7Kohm since this person has had good...

    Deleting the EGR

    Andrea - as I stated in my first post, that is why I'm adding the 4.7Kohm resistor. The resistor should satisfy the ECU into not throwing an error code.

    Deleting the EGR

    Sorry, meant to say "EXCEPT for the 3FE" in my post. Revised to clear up that I'm running the 1fze (97).

    Deleting the EGR

    Good to know Jeffro. With all the existing "delete EGR" threads I've searched, there just doesn't seem to be any definitive information on the entire process for the 1fze. So hopefully some others with experience will chime in here.

    Deleting the EGR

    Yes, I know this topic has been beaten to death, but it seems the correct information is spread amongst a half dozen threads. Plus I need to verify a few things. Maybe this thread can serve as a one-stop consolidated place for others looking to do this. My reasoning for doing this is that I've...

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    I DID contact USAA when this first occurred, and again on Wednesday. My agent called the manager and ascertained that NTB corporate is paying for the damages, not NTB's insurance company. My agents advice was to try and resolve it directly with NTB first. If USAA handles the claim, my...

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    Well, this still hasn't been resolved. When I turned in the estimates, I told the manager I expected the check to be cut to me, and for their insurance or corporate office to call me if this was an issue. He assured me that they would. 2 weeks later, I still hadn't heard anything so I...

    what wiper blades to use

    I had these on my old truck: Silicone Blades Never replaced them in 3 years and they kept working great. They are pricey, and I am by heart a cheap ass and thus haven't gotten them for the 80 yet. Just sticking with OEM which seem to work okay.

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    I hope I have in no way indicated that I'm trying to defraud or "milk" the insurance company - that is not my intention at all. What I'm trying to resolve is NTB's insurance company's stance that they will only cut a check if the damage is fixed, otherwise forget it. I've been in several...

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    I actually just got off the phone with my rep at USAA. Since there is no lien holder on the car, by law it is up to me whether the check is cut to me or the body shop. So we'll see what NTB's insurance has to say about that. :p My plan is to fix the damage as best I can, touch up the paint or...

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    Well all three estimates came in around the same price - $1250. This includes the Toyota dealership. But it looks like I may have a fight on my hands with NTB. I took the three estimates to the manager last night, and he then asked which one I wanted to have it fixed at. I told him to...

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    The place I have the estimate from right now is Eveland Bros, probably the best repair shop in town. They are the ones the local Jag, Mercedes & Porche dealership use for all their collision repair too. I'm also hitting a yota dealership tomorrow, we'll see what they say. Regardless...

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    I understand what you're saying, but I haven't decided that I will have the damage fixed. I may try to straighten the pinch welds as best as I can, touch up the paint, and do some sliders instead.

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    Just got back, and the manager was very good to deal with. Like some of you said, I'm just going to get 3 quotes and they'll cut me a check for the average of the 3. He pointed out that the marks on the passenger rock were actually about 12 inches long, meaning that the truck was moving...

    NTB damaged my body - how should I approach this?

    I spoke with USAA this morning, and they will handle it if NTB is not willing to work with me. I'm heading down to NTB now, update coming soon.....
