You should feel a little proud that deep inside him, he admires you, and your things. You will go on with life, and when he's like 40, he'll still be wishin' he was someone else. Kinda sad actually. NOT!!!!:biglaugh:

Try the car trader mag at the dairy (12th st east on ave 'I')....$1. or trader.com just put your zip code in and then spread out to 100 miles. There was one not long ago on the lot on 'J' and Date, white turbo, automatic (you could swap to 5sp), 120k. I checked it out. It ran real...

When the ABS has a problem, the system is supposed to disconnect from the brake system. This way you still have a normal system. There are speed sensors on each of the front wheels (out near the rotor) and one on the transmission. There is a computer, and the actuators (under the hood, with...

At 63000 miles my cousin's 4runner v-6 oil pump broke a gear inside the pump. She was driving down the freeway at about 65mph. It flew apart and damaged the bottom end so bad, she had to get the motor rebuilt. The dealer, and Toyota factory would NOT help her out. The engine warranty ran...

^^^ like he said, check the gearoil. 75-90wt will work fine. The noise you describe sounds like it may be the input shaft bearing. When you hold the clutch pedal down, the trans shaft stops turning, noise gone.

That's a good price ! here 225/50/16s cost $80 ea, plus $10ea to mount & balance. plus tax, plus old tire fee = $400:3d_frown:

You'll end up putting the 02 bung on the single pipe, not the header. You want it to pick up from 'all' the exhaust. No big deal, we add a bung about once a week at the shop.

They are 5/16" hoses. The purpose is to heat the throttlebody and ISC valve for better engine operation when its cold. Just yesterday a was looking closely at by-passing the throttlebody to get a little cooler intake air, to gain a bit more power. I would strongly suggest connecting the...

That is a coolant hose. It leads down to a fitting on the block under the intake manifold. Its purpose is to pass coolant thru the throttlebody to warm it up. Then the coolant goes to the ISC valve to warm it, then on to another connector on the block under the intake manifold.

The PCV system is considered the best polution control system added to an engine, for the engine, that is. It helps remove blowby gasses from the crankcase that get there from the combustion chamber. It also helps remove water from the crankcase. Water condenses in the crankcase when the...

You have to get at the sending unit (in the tank) and unplug the harness on top of the tank. With the key in the on position, if the gage stays showing full, then the gage if bad. if the gage dropped all the way down, ground the wire to the sender and see if the gage goes to full. If it does...

There actually isn't a valve, like so many other cars use. There is hose and tubes to the throttle body. There's a tiny (precise) hole in the throttle body that allows the fixed amount of vacuum on the hoses. Now, what about seafoam?? If you want to clean out the PCV system, just use some...

Be sure to cap off/plug the hole in the accordian pipe to keep dirt out of the intake system, as this is after the air filter.

If you look closely at the photo of the adaptor, you will see inside it a piece of metal. The opening on the AFM is rectangular, and smaller than 3". That's tha correct adaptor shown. Whatever pipe you do from the throttle body to AFM, if its 3", fine. I would suggest wrapping the tube...

^^^ That's excellent advice ! I've always done what I can at home, buying the tools needed, learning and saving $$$ along the way. Now I have a hell of a tool collection. I figure I've save over the years maybe 1, 1 & 1/2 million $$$.:biglaugh:

Perhaps the #1 injector is leaking, (not closing all the way), and causing a rich condition. Is it a little hard starting (like 3-5 crankes) when its warmed up but been shut down for several minutes?? (No cold start injector operation) The fuel pump would have to pressurize the system if...

BTW....the bearings are sealed type, like a front wheel drive car.

I have an '89 n/a, and that filter kit you are referencing will fit right onto the AFM. Just remove the factory airbox. (Save the old box. It cost over $200 from dealer. I was stupid, it buried under 100 tons of household crap now.) You can make a bracket out of any piece of metal to...

We just had 2 different cars in today. Misfires. One, the guy had changed his own plugs and wires. A cylinder was not firing. Turned out to be a plug that had got the outer 'ground' electrode banged, and collapsed down onto the center electrode. The other had bad plugs and wires. Try...

Here's what I'd recommend. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopdisplaycategories.asp?zone=main&id=303 The #13216 (14") or equivalent style offered by your local 'independant' muffler shop. Like 'V-Force'. The 3 chambers will bring down the sound without hurting performance...
