Anyone got some tips on what you do to tighten the belt on the power steering pump? While its in the car I've found it very difficult to "pull" on the pump and tighten the adjusting bolt at the same time... anyone found a decent way? Thanks, Tom

I've been searching and searching today, after I noticed the slight ticking my engine makes seems to have become louder. It's always made a slight tick, which I'd just put down to the injector noise. It sounds, to me, like the ticking/tapping is in the head, not a bottom end thing (i'm preying...

Is code 51 only applicable at idle? At idle or with the engine off, the car reports no codes. If I give the engine a quick rev, it reports a code 51 then goes back to normal. I assume this is because the ECU detects a difference in the TPS output so reports code 51... but I just wanted to...

My exhaust rattles... Stock exhaust on pretty much a stock 7MGTE. Ever since my engine rebuild the exhaust seems to 'rattle' and sometimes 'gurgles'. My initial thoughts were that something got stuck in the exhaust somewhere near the tip when it was sitting in my garage for 6 months. I...

Hi all, My driver+passenger windows have a lot of free play moving side to side when the door is open. (this makes them vibrate when closing doors, which I want to stop! :)) Apparently this is a common problem and there is a fix... any ideas? Much appreciated, Tom.

Ok... so how on Earth did I fry two out of three circuits inside my 7m-gte igniter? I've done every test I can think of on the igniter and all came out negative. The igniter will trigger one coil output, but not the other. You don't hear about igniters dying all that often, and mine had...

Hi all I have a few questions now that my engine is back in the car... - There's a coolant hose coming off of the bottom of the upper intake chamber (near the 2nd runner)... where does it go?? - There's two ring lugs coming from the wiring loom (i think :icon_conf), down towards the...

Hey guys, I've just completed my first engine rebuild and removed the EGR system in the process. I blocked off all three EGR ports with block-off plates and removed the EGR vsv. My question is what do I now do with the vacuum piping where the EGR VSV was? can I just block off the pipe that...
