    Help needed: OEM stereo wiring, just about hooked up!

    So, if I understand correctly, the original radio connectors on the car have been cutoff? If so, you need to make sure that those loose wires aren't going back to the stock amp under the passenger seat. If they are, then you have a few different paths you can follow to make this work.

    Help needed: OEM stereo wiring, just about hooked up!

    I have a 2000 tundra radio connected to the stock 90 external amp in mine. There are a bunch of different connectors between the HU and amp depending on the year, but they actually only vary in the number of grounds up to around 2003 or so. Looking at yours I suspect that is the 92-99...

    Rod Knock?

    If it goes away when you disconnect the sparkplug lead on the affected cylinder then it's rod knock. Valve problems will not be sensitive to removing spark. 7M cam journals always look bad due to a soft coating of mystery babbit like material. The cam caps should be mirror smooth though.

    4" gem?

    I bought those ebay Boston speakers. They are 4.5in, so they have the correct flange to fit the rear factory boxes, but the shielded magnets are too big to fit. I have yet to remove the shield, but that may shrink things enough to fit. Although they are "new", they are old stock from circa...

    Quick questions about the headlights.

    I would start with something like a 400ohm 1W resistor. JJ is correct, this thing is basically a heater across 12V with the low beams powered up, so need to pay attention to the power rating of the resistor. JJs bulb idea is might be preferred though, since power resistors are something of a...

    Quick questions about the headlights.

    I looked up the wiring diagram in the 90 TSRM and it does not show pin 20 of the combo switch being grounded for headlights. I think we can chock that up to a typo in the 90 TEWD. Poodles, if you replace the high beam indicator with an LED, then you could use a relatively small shunt...

    Quick questions about the headlights.

    That is correct. It is also why installing HIDs causes your indicator light to no longer work as the low-resistance low-beam filament is gone. I get a chuckle out of the title of this thread... I guess the questions were quick but not the answers!

    Bypass Hose

    I see. The stock clamps are preferred in this location. Worm clamps work better though for the the other elbow hose at the back of the engine where there's no room to get pliers in.

    Bypass Hose

    Buy these and its a snap to change. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=33202 The other hose between the firewall and the head is a different story though!!

    Quick questions about the headlights.

    From the online TEWD, it seems that 14 is used to trigger the lamp relay and raise the lamps based on the flash feature that only grounds pins 14/12 and leaves 20 untouched. The extra pin 20 seems to be used to control how the lamps are retracted in conjunction with 14/12. When I pulled...

    okay, no PPS. Must be a mechanical problem.

    Quick questions about the headlights.

    Doward, what are the relay terminal numbers you are probing when you measure 10V (they are marked 1 3 4 5 in the TEWD)? I suspect that you are seeing the effect of looking into the high resistance off-state collector. It would be on the same order as your meter resistance. Based on all the...

    Are you talking about the hose that attaches to this pipe? This photo shows the heatshield.

    Starting Problem 87 Turbo Targa

    Someone asked if you had any codes set and I never saw an answer. A bad CPS will set a code 12 after 2 seconds of cranking for example. A code 14 is probable if you have major ignition issues, and so on!

    What year? If it has PPS there are some more options for trouble.
