The light means the coolant overflow bottle is low. Its supposed to look like a radiator. You'll also hear it called a birdcage light.

You could take off both manifolds and look at the valve stems. If they're leaking there will be some evidence. I'd rather just take the cams out and replace them though.

Bad valve stem seals almost always cause the car to smoke on cold start. Are you seing any smoke?

Those are just a factory way of joining and sealing common circuits. To put it another way, just a bunch of wires hooked together.

They have their own ground through the harness.

I had a feeling the factory joints were "perma-staked'. I am interested in how this tuns out. What does the oem joint assy cost?

Interesting, are the steering shaft joints the same design as the driveshaft? Press fit, with c-clip?

Just got mine setup, key on engine off = 1.5V

No that goo is not factory, looks like a previous repair attempt.

Someone else is going to have to do some 7m testing (7m free zone). I think even with the stud, this setup is more compact. I dont know for sure it will fit on a 7m though. Feel like doing some testing? send me your address, ill ship out some used sensors, you can pick up the studs at toyota...

I assume your talking key on, engine off? So around 100 kpa , readings should be around 1.5 -1.7v. But that reading will go down as you go higher in altitude. A reading of .7 would be normal at 6000-7000 feet above seal level. I found that here...

Very nice, what hood is that? Never seen one before.

It pisses me of when i have to work on a car that has stickey crap all over the terminals. If the battery is not leaking, there is no need to gob them up. Do yourself a favor and buy a gel battery, and new terminals. Be done with it.

If the AFC wouldent power up, and it gets power from the same place as the ecu..... Is the ECU getting power?

That gunk is from the battery, the seals around the posts leak. A new battery is the only way to stop it.

I am a little reluctant to share to much of my setup at this point because it is totally untested at this time. I will say that all the mods inside the box are per the manual. Hmmm, when i was doing my testing i found that the valve would not move with a signal any faster than 5ms between...

All four shocks have bushings on the bottom that should have been torqued at ride height. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Have bushings always been torqued at ride height?

The bottom "adapter" gets installed in the intake manifold with FIPG, not an o-ring.

A cold start injector is not for cold weather...
