GO5 can be had at AutoZone among other places. It's an HOAT long life coolant that combines the best of HOAT and low silicate conventional chemistries. If you do run it after a month pop the thermostat out and look at it. What you see will be what G05 is doing to the inside of your cooling...

Not saying this is the problem but there's actually a reason behind why many Toyotas of that era have fuel sender problems today. It has to do with a slight incompatability between the materials used in the senders and the additives used in fuel during the 80s and 90s. There's a way to clean...

Makes sense to me ;)

Not that coolant color means much these days (it's just dye) but whomever told you that doesn't know anything about coolant chemistry. You won't go wrong with the OEM stuff but I prefer to use G-05. Better than OEM in my educated opinion.

Ha...I wonder the same about many threads. I always use a gun to put wheels on but I have a full set of torque sticks. Never had a problem because the stick I use for whatever car I'm working on has been previously checked against my calibrated wrench. Makes the job go a lot faster...

Supras don't go to Heaven ;) Doesn't suck. Makes the rest worth a bit more. I say crush all but one ;)

Lol, that's cream right there. The idea of putting little wheels on the magnet comes close too ;)

I admire the thickness of your skin. More should have it. Fwiw it wasn't really meant to be at your expense, just that I found it amusing, all things considered. It's not as if you're the only one here that does it, just that I usually bite my tongue.

Yes, the computer stores a code even if the light goes out. On the other hand codes can be stored without turning the light on at all. It's why you should occasionally check for codes, say at every oil change. To make matters worse a few codes are not stored in memory. Confused? You just have to...

I'm just stunned at times is all. Forgetting for a moment the guy has been registered here over 2 years (how long has he owned the car?), has 600 posts, and doesn't know right from left on an engine he's lucky the system was empty of refrigerant. Then there's the simple act of reading the...

Knock does not result in turning on of the MIL, while knock system fault will keep it on even if it's a momentary failure. Take his advice and check your codes.

Lol. God how this place slays me...

It's "advice" Mon. Ask for some and we'll advise you on what to do. If you're lucky. Also "alot" isn't one word and some punctuation would be nice. Funny, last time I was there English was the official language of Jamaica...

It's not fuel cut (the TPS) if it revs freely. Besides, there are several ways to quickly check it. Using code 51 for example. For the curious here's another way: Free rev the engine to 2000 rpm. Drop rpm in steps of 100 while paying attention. It'll be obvious if IDL is working.

Not to thread jack but yeah, VA Code 46.2-862 is a stunner: http://tinyurl.com/2z3fjh http://tinyurl.com/yvdsuv

I'm a believer in learning about something before I do it. Theory and fundamentals first. Makes things go a lot smoother.

Understanding how engines work on the core level is my friend. Mr Y: Ti imeet bolshe terpenia chem ya....

Hows that work?

SAE Technical Paper 2001-01-1073. Note the * for the side-bar at the end. Fwiw... Many times the heat transferred to the lubrication system from combustion, and the kinetic components of an engine, are overlooked until a problem arises during dynamometer or track testing. A study was...

Yes. The sensor outputs 0 to 1 volt so use millivolts or whatever range is closest to that. Read your service manual for more details. Not to be a prick but by dint of reading this you must be connected to the greatest source of information the world has ever known so you could also Google...
