    please help...new issue

    you are not testing for boost leaks properly, back to square one if you hear air rushing in during the boost leak test dont you think that that air must be going somewhere (ie escaping somewhere)? the pcv lines have nothing to do with the pressure circuit. so they should not need to be blocked...

    RPM meter not working.. (after engine swap)

    once you get the cluster out you will notice the spedo is driven by a cable, and should work if you have one of these pluged into the rear of the trans once you have all the screws out of the cluster, it is still kinda held in there by the speedo cable, just wiggle and pull. other than that...

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    if youi buy new it will come with instructions. they are all different. usually you will need these electrical connections 12v constant 12v switched with ignition ground Then just install sender, mount gauge, run wires. Where are you going to put it?

    Wiring question

    Are we talking about illuminating mechanical gauges? While these are all needed inputs for gauges, is this an acceptable source for powering the gauges (other than just illumination)? There would be no problems powering the gauges through the dim circuit?

    Few questions about code 52

    Its easiest to get to them with the intake mani off. That does make it hard for testing though. Impossible to test with out an oscilloscope, in running condition. Does the light come on every tome the rpms get above 2500? if not you have an intermittant problem (evin harder to track down) This...

    Oil light on

    the gte oil pressure sender is made to send signal to a oil pressure gauge, not a light. will the sender from your original motor fit into the pressure port on the gte?

    top radiator hose stays super hard but does not over heat and heater will not get hot

    You have got to be kidding me. Where the f*&% did you come up with that? To the OP your "no heat" issue is definitely has something to do with the heater control valve. Either it is not getting signal, or is not opening, with signal. when your car is running next, mess with the valve on the...

    What and where does this plug go and do?

    that is not a stock wire, if you want to know what it does you'll have to do a little research (under your hood) 1. open up the loom and see what wire it goes to, 2. the connection inside the loom: Is the factory wire taped into, or cut and extended (replaced) with the solid yellow wire its...

    flushing out system

    How does the water get past the closed t-stat? although i could see it working well if you have a stuck open t-stat. This also creates allot of waste coolant to get rid of (which i am guessing you are not disposing of properly).

    flushing out system

    no the hose at the lower passenger side of the rad is the lower rad hose. this is not the one being referred to. You are looking for the heater hose (the hoses that bring coolant into the cabin for heat). if you look at the link, the thing at the top of the page is your heater valve, and is...

    1JZ motor assessment

    PNP it will not be, as it never is. these questions i can not see in the posting. does it have rear sump oil pan clutch fan do you have round motor mounts 1jz trans setup Either way the wiring harness will definitely need to be extensively modified (look up http://www.phoenixtuning.com/)...

    possible suggestions someone?

    What is up with the distrust of all mechanics , and only trusting Toyota mechanics? (PS. they are going to use stock HG torque specs and gasket) A slight BHG can be very hard to diagnose. What you have is a very serious cooling system problem (easy to diagnose when it gets to this point). Any...

    Where can i purchase this Hose?

    Toyota is going to be the only place to get it pre-molded. If you already tried Toyota, then there is a part miscommunication, as it is still available.

    Parking Brake - Hearing chatter when moving & lever goes up way too easy

    now you know why your "parking brake" is not a "slowing down in a parking lot, brake". I normal conditions your e-brake should never slip (ie being applied as a "brake"), therefore never wear out.
