    Stock thermo temp?

    I should've been more specific with the question (no increased capacity for example) but since I see it's Porter we're dealing with I've since decided to skip the lengthy explanation. Not the least of which is why, if the system was running at 180 (or even 195), does it need to be pressurized at...

    How does running a colder thermostat make for a cooling running engine?

    Nick: I have several TCCS books. The one I was referencing is the Toyota TCCS Technical Training Manual. I didn't feel I was hogging the information. It's why the original post was in such detail ;) I might pick at a copy of Road and Track on occassion in the barber shop or dentist but I have...

    That Shaeff guy is pretty sharp ;). Yes Joel, what he said. That way I didn't have to mount a new switch. It's the old "hide in plain sight" thing. It's all custom and was done 18 years ago. I was a bit paranoid when I first bought the car as I was living in downtown Los Angeles at the time...

    I'm familiar with the term. In fact...nah ;) But OK, as long as The Skipper isn't involved ;)

    "The first thing I'll do when I get back home is bake an apple pie, milk the cow, and feed the chickens". Lol, how can you say no to that? I've made my decision. I mean, just look at her ;) http://tinyurl.com/3acdn

    [[[STOLEN]]]] EUGENE, OR: MY SUPRA. 1988, Blue, HID, 7 Spoke Wheels, 3" Exh.

    Old thread I know but I was wondering how they got past the factory alarm starter kill? And any aftermarket alarm worth it's salt has one. Anyway, here's how I deal with theft (and car jacking) assuming they get past the alarm. First, any time the car is started it triggers a timer that...

    Fan clutch

    You can always refill yours. There's even a Toyo p/n for the fluid. Or you can tune it using the different weights of silicone oil available at any hobby shop. Or just open yours up and lock it. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me though. What's your goal?

    Lol... He's not kidding Grim. A quick review of his posts proves it ;)

    WHat exactly causes fuel cut?

    Talk about off topic ;). You mean funny ha ha or funny odd? Funny as is humor would be смешной. Say "smeh-shnoy". Funny as in odd would be страннй which (in Cyrillic) looks and is pronounced very much like...

    WHat exactly causes fuel cut?

    Well he didn't seem to understand me the first time so I felt it appropriate, although badly written. My Russian isn't all that great. I can read and speak fairly well but writing is harder. The grammar alone makes me crazy. The wife is always after me to learn more because of all the time we...

    I see now. A failure in communication is all it was. Upon reading the post again it seems you were talking more about diagnostic actions than normal actions. It seems you were implying that a fault in the knock sensor circuit would only set a code and illuminate the MIL without any correction...

    What it's really time to do is buy a TSRM ;)

    How do you keep your electrical plugs in good order?

    It's good stuff Grim. Used by the military to salvage aircraft and avionics that've gone down at sea. I've seen it do some amazing things on corroded aluminum. Corrosion X is good too. The two guys who invented ACF 50 had a falling out so one went and started Corrosion X. They're both pretty...

    How do you keep your electrical plugs in good order?

    Google it. Available from any aircraft supply soucre. Chief Aircraft, Aircraft Spruce, anywhere. Or got to your local airport's pilot supply shop. About $14 for a 12 oz spray or around $100/ liter in liquid form. Not cheap but worth every penny. A small spray can will last for years.

    Lol, you mean like that guy on Gilligan's Island? (Showing my age there I guess). I'm just trying to pay back all those who took the time to teach me. Speaking of Gilligan's that brings up a question I've struggled with for years and never have been able to answer: Ginger or Mary Ann? ;)

    How do you keep your electrical plugs in good order?

    Some of the stuff is already gold but if you're willing to change connectors you can buy lots of gold flashed new ones. Allied or Newark Electronics stocks all that stuff. AMP CPC is a good choice for car work. As for oxidation we can again turn to the aerospace sector for the best stuff...

    broken speedometer

    I seldom come over to this forum but I'm obliged to point out the speed sensor in your instrument cluster is used by the ecu for many things besides cruise control. It's driven by the speedo cable so no matter what you do try and keep that part working.
