    ECU, Deceleration, and You!

    Then why did you post? Dan has it right except ignition is not killed and the cut off and resumption speeds are not fixed. They're higher when the coolant temp is low or the AC on. Without going into detail the relevant signals used in the cut off calculation are IDL, engine speed (NE)...

    Constantly have air in my cooling system

    For coolant to be sent to the tank the radiator must start out full enough so there is no room for expansion. If that's the case then as the system cools it *must* draw coolant back in unless there is a leak or the cap is faulty. If the system were airtight the upper radiator hose would...

    Air conditioner electrical troubleshooting ?

    ^ What he said. To answer your other question the clutch should engage KOEO. You can check the CC panel and wiring (at least the wiring to the ECU) by looking for a code 51 when in diag mode. Keep your foot away from the gas pedal when doing it...

    Does the fuse block go bad?

    I suppose it's possible but I'd check everything upstream first. If it comes down to that here's the internals of J/B Number 1: http://tinyurl.com/3vaej3

    oil pan bolts?

    Well, for a start you wrote the number wrong up top. If that's the number you used you might want to try again with 90119-08334.

    Charcoal Canister?

    The function of the Fuel Evaporative Emission System is covered in the TSRM. As with all EVAP systems it's job it to capture HC vapor for later combustion. It does this by using charcoal, which has an enormous surface area relative to it's size. If it matters any the charcoal is derived from...

    Charcoal Canister?

    Nor has mine. One reason is I service aircraft and apply the same methods, materials, and techniques on the car. Makes it pretty much bullet-proof. That said I carry Halon 1301 in all my vehicles. Call it insurance ;)

    Mothers I'd love ... no wait;) Malfunction Indicator Lamp...the correct name for what many people call the check engine light.

    Fuel Injector/Coil pack lines

    The coil pack primary wires run to the igniter. The igniter wires run to the ECU through the engine harness. The injector ground sides run to the ECU through the engine harness. The positive side runs to the resistor pack on the left fender and then to the ignition switch. It's all in the...

    easy question

    You call that easy? What "part" on the coil? Is it missing or bad? If bad how do you know for certain? I'm asking these questions because I can point you to a website that will show what parts on the car are common to other Toyota models.

    wont start, please help

    ^ My idea would be to listen to that guy. Btw what you're seeing with the timing light is normal and code 11 is unlikely to be a ground problem.

    Charcoal Canister?

    Tis true. Fires are nearly without exception the result of bad maintenance or sloppy work done by people who haven't a clue how to do things right. This is even more the case when it comes to electrical fires.

    Car starts, but rough idle and white smoke

    In the words of the late Arthur Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" ;) Those old enough to have dealt with carburetors and centrifugal/vacuum advance distributors will remember how two things were required when setting ignition timing: 1) Idle speed...
