    Timing Light?

    They will both do the same thing, first one has a few more fancy features for newer cars.

    Need a pic of JB 1

    Pretty self explanitory, prefer cover to be removed. I'm looking at the alternator connection specifically. Seems to be just a wire I want to verify if the prior owner didn't rig this up, or did Toyota really half ass this one.

    Well Well, about 7.5 days later and she's back alive. I'll post a pic of the problem later, this issue stems way back before I ever registered on these forums. Long story, Everyone enjoy the Super bowl today!! I know I will, I'm happy as hell again!

    I'm not disagreeing with your statement, I replaced my CB because it would not reset, period. Although this hasn't resolved the problem, working with a defective CB isn't going to help the situation any either. So if I find a defective component, I do what I can to replace it. I did test the...

    dead idle

    code 24 is intake temperature too warm. If you have a bad idle from a code 24 then you have serious problems. I'm going to assume you have an aftermarket intake?

    I took last night off since I'm waiting for the main breaker, I browsed a few threads for idea's in the mean time. I'm not trying to jump the gun here, but do any of my symptoms sound like the factory alarm could be triggered at this point? I'm not even certain I have one, I'm going to check...

    Alright Gentlemen, status update time! Don't know if i have good news to report but I have some news which is better than no news. Took my Optima and Alternator to Autozone for testing. My alt is pretty much OE as far as I know and the Optima has been behaving strangely as is. Optima...

    I cant read codes because there is no interior power anywhere. Unless there is another method for pulling codes I have not discovered yet. I'm going to get my altenator tested along with my battery. A friend is betting it's my battery so for piece of mind I'm just going to get this...

    Double checked grounds, haven't found a problem here. Funny thing is Headlights are working and a few items under the hood appear to get power, nothing else electronic on the interior is. I have my fuse box exposed currently. I played around in there last night with no success so far...

    That would be a negative, no lights period actually. The lights in the doors do not turn on, green light around the ignition neither, nor the light under the dash. However the headlights turn on, so I'm assuming there is a breaker, relay or something that went out. My first assumption was...

    Just frustrated and having a hard time focusing, last time this happend it was a fuse under the dash and was caused by improperly jump starting the car, everything was fine last night. Now I'm thinking the broken terminal connector may have arc'd and caused a problem, or who knows, I'm about to...

    So I just reinstalled my battery(with new pos terminal connector). Still no go, something is hosed, I'm going to try to look for my spare relays and swap one. I guess I can double check fuses also, I breifly browsed the TSRM so I'll will give that another look at again. This sucks, car was...

    Intake brackets, what did you use?

    As I tried explaining in my original post, my acordian hose is garbage at this point. Need a fix for it and figured why not go with an intake pipe. Not looking for performance, looking to restore to keep her alive right now.

    Intake brackets, what did you use?

    Maybe if you read, you would know i did a search.

    Intake brackets, what did you use?

    Okay, please explain how the metal intake pipe affects intake temp when the sensor sits infront of the pipe. Wade3570, I fabbed a bracket, I'll try to get you a pick later so you can see how I did it. Really easy to use and do.

    I've been doing a little here, and a little there. So lately it was time to pay attention to my engine again. I syphoned out nearly five gallons of old fuel and filled her up with five gallons of fresh 93 octane, plus a complete fuel cleaner(just to clean the tank a tad). She started right up...

    Intake brackets, what did you use?

    Can't deny I got a Honda tube from autozone earlier this week. I need to take it to a shop to cut a few inches off, it's too long. Doesn't bother me to cheese it, I only want to run my 7M for a year or two. 1JZ is where I wanna be :) Intake is probably the last of 1JZ non compatible mods I...

    Oil change

    Okay so here is a good question, how long has everyone been running +1 quart? Or 6 quarts total? Months, years? Any one that can disprove the theory of long term effects by over filling? As many have said, the stock oil pan is deep enough, however, it's always nice to hear from experience.

    FIRE!!

    That F***ing sucks bro. HOpe she's okay, get her fixed and be careful when working on the fuel system. Get a fire extinguisher if you don' t have one. Anytime I do serious work I grab the one from under my sink and put it in the garage just in case(came with my apartment :))
