Watch out for everything. Many of these cars are owned/abused/sold by people who screw up nearly everything they touch on them. And they do this while constantly whining about previous owners. It slays me no end...

I dunno...parts store people are known for their excessive intelligence ;) I should have just posted a link and the Four Seasons number like I've done in the past. See how the first one has holes on both sides? Just flip it over for mounting and swap the actuator. The inlet/outlet are a bit...

Doh! Yes, I'm talking about the first one with the bracket. That's what I used. Checking of my records shows it's for an early to late 90's Geo and *not* the 89 I stated. So some good came out of this after all ;)

Say what? On the supra when the lever is down the valve is closed and flow is almost stopped (it's designed to always flow a little). Keep in mind "down" to me means towards the ground ;)

Huh. I remember there's holes on both sides of the valve so it can mount either way to accommodate the throw and the lever just screwed on. It's been a long time though. Prism and Corolla are the same car, Alex...

Welcome Dave. Have fun with it. Ian: Lol. Reminds me of the big "Landing Gear Asshole" labels I use :)

I think the switch only closes at the end point. Better to remote the indicating type because it shows incremental loading. Either way I'm sure one of the flock can solve your problem. If they don't let me know and I will...

Not fast, lucky ;) And before any of you ask there's a hole drilled down the center of that bolt. Duh.

Yeah, it measures the delta P between ambient and the area behind the filter. Works with any kind of filter. Since a filter's efficiency increases as it loads changing it early is dumb. http://www.filterminder.com/ They also come in panel mount for people like IJ ;) As Jay said you can...

Was going through some old pics of the car and found this one showing my Filter Minder install. Don't think I ever put it up here so...

90's. The only work involved is toss the bracket it comes with and swap actuators. That's all I had to do on the one I had at least...

Geo Prism/Corolla valve. $45 new. I also replaced the factory screw clamps with CT band clamps. Never had a problem again. Had 10 years on it when the car left me...

Sigh. Another chump who thinks he knows more than the world's largest automaker. You know, this constant pulling out of the head bolt card gets old. Almost as old as an experienced engineer having to butt heads with dimwits on a forum made up mostly of kids and hack artists who barely qualify as...

Yes, the HOAT is long-life. It'd be a waste to change it annually. Just to clear up any confusion the "custom made" stuff is the HOAT, the inorganic comes in the black jug, and mallot is a little town in Pakistan ;)

DEX-VI (the latest) is backwards compatible with previous formulations. For the Texaco coolant of the three chemistries available you should use either the HOAT or the inorganic. My choice would be the HOAT...

Functionality, reliability, and good design has a beauty all its own ;)

As Jay pointed out the consensus thus far appears overwhelming. I know in 22 years of driving my car never overheated with stock parts. Not once. You may need to refill the clutch though. It's probably dry. Or just replace it. And the fan wouldn't be hideous if you got rid of that glass hood...

What's enough? A common myth is more is better but in reality too much is bad. There's a lot of other things involved with e-fans most people have no clue about. Suffice to say an engine that doesn't overheat is *not* an indication of a correctly engineered e-fan install. Not even close...

We know what you're talking about. There's two parts, a fan and a fan clutch. The fan clutch is a viscous coupling that drives the fan at different speeds based on the temperature of air coming through the radiator. You should keep them...
