Good 'ol Sunoco. I haven't seen that stuff since I left the east coast years ago. When I was there they had a whole bunch of grades. 190 to 260 or something like that on each pump. You set the little dial on the pump to get what you wanted.

Lol....

You could be Moral Orel and take the car to any shop that does AC work and they'll recover the refrigerant, probably for free. Or you could just vent it and have a neighbor report you to the EPA. After you go to court and pay the fine (or get released from prison) you get the neighbor to split...

Geezer pretty much has it right. Do you think that say, Shell or Chervon puts a load of gas into the pipeline and waits for the same stuff to come out the other end? Or that in most cases the gasoline goes from the refinery directly into a tanker and is driven to your local service station...

Ok, fair nuff. Since you backed koulee up I thought I'd better hedge my bets since I haven't seen many of the later Soups. I agree the heater should be used, both for quicker warrm up and to prevent the "falling out" of closed loop that sometimes occurs at idle.

Mine has a three wire. 4 wires were introduced to provide a proper ground return for the O2 signal. Early Supras used a 3 wire sensor and a bonding wire from the head to the firewall. The ground reference had to go through all the gaskests and corrosion on the exhaust manifold. 4 wire is the...

Dawn works best. Polish remover is acetone.

4 wire eh? Must be only on the later cars.

Yeah, the 5 watters aren't cheap. Overkill for a dome light. Those are Oz prices too. We can do cheaper here. I get 'em for around $10, less for the 1 or 3 watt versions. Any color you want.

Lol, I'm not the best at remembering them off the top of my head. It's ok bud. I told ya, we're all dummies but don't let the public find out. And since I've just been privately accused of selling used motors for a living I must be a real idiot. edit...OK, I cleaned that explanation up. Damn, I...

The TTS receives a ground from two places: 1) From the TTS and 2) from the ECU (STJ) when temps are very, very low. The ECU uses the coolant temp sensor to control it in that case. It just stretches the time out a bit beyond what the TTS is normally capable of. Otherwise the CSI is powered by...

Ok, that was poorly worded. The ECU does have a connection to the TTS but it controls the CSI and not the TTS. It will not effect emissions. However if the CSI is mechanically leaking fuel the engine may run rich.

The TTS turns on the CSI when closed (cold coolant temp). The ECU also has control of the CSI. The TTS is not connected to the ECU in anyway, it gets power from the starter. And it's not a sensor, it's a switch that works on both time and temperature. Search for a better description of how it...

Lol, no...I don't have a semiconductor fab in my garage. Luxeons are made by Lumileds Corp. You can by them several places. They're definitely not your father's LEDs. Used in the curent crop of high end flashlights. I expect to see them used in multiples as headlamps in a few years. If it were...

Lol, ain't that the truth. No, I have better things to do with my time than try and enlighten a kid who was 8 or 9 years old when this was all planned or a redneck 30 something who seems to feel the highlight of his life thus far was being a grunt in the lowest branch of service the country...

Good post there guy. Very factual and accurate. Nice setup on the car too.

It's an SAE Tech Paper. As I stated in another post it describes research that proves changing your oil too often (about 3k miles and under) does more harm than good.

No need to be sorry Josh. The car is mainly electrical. If you're going to work on it you need to invest in a good digital mulitmeter (along with a TSRM) and learn how to use it. It always amuses me how some guys will spend tons of coin on stupid stuff for the car yet cheap out on what they need...

Just FYI: Code 52 will not set as soon as a KS fault is detected. Certain things must happen first. Driving on the highway for a bit of time will do it.
