So what? ^^^

Some transmissions had speced for Dexron/Mercon by the manufacturer. And later changed over to 10W30 synthetic. So I guess that isn't totally out of question.

The 50 series in the past was a 3 chamber as opposed to a 2 chamber. The baffles quiet it down. The HKS sport exhaust for the 7MGE is a baffled muffler also.

That is the 4 stroke engine, aka a cheap hooker. Yes, old mechanic joke.

Air/fuel ratio, spark timing, and compression is the combustion triangle if you didn't know. It isn't air, fuel, and spark.

It isn't your responsibility to buy an EWD for your car if you plan to fix it yourself?

The ECU doesn't throw any voltage to the oxygen sensor. Unless you mean the heater, and that has no bearing on the signal. Well, the heater makes the signal come on faster. A quick look in the factory EWD will show you what is battery voltage, and what come from the ECU through a fixed...

That only leaves one portion of the combustion triangle...of which many things can affect it. Like a hole in all 6 pistons.

You have a starter bolt on the passenger side?

A wrench fits just fine.

I have a set of mics, cylinder bore gage, slide caliper and dial indicator. And I get paid to do what you are asking about. You know just enough to get yourself in trouble. See ya.

So what if the wires are not the same color. The EWD pinout shows exactly where G1, G2, and Ne are. Just make sure you get the EWD for your year, even though there are very little changes most years.

:biglaugh: In some people's minds, probably as much as ECU failures.

Ignore everything he said.

First, it isn't a very common problem. You wouldn't know if it is or isn't ,as you don't do this for a living. If you did, you wouldn't have said something so boneheaded in the latter part. If you can jump start the car, you have a discharged battery. Being discharged is not an indicator if...

I guess you completely missed it. Your(machinist) job is to mic, not these owners. That is if you do automotive machining. I guess Toyota engineers are amateurs. Spell check is for amateurs ..

No you aren't. .. That is a long way from offensive. Believe me, I will let you know what I think. Who is machining anything? You own a lathe for this? Plastigage tells you if need a new crank, if you can't tell visually. Which often, you can do right away.

Yes. With the match marks lined up. And cylinder one on TDC.

edit: I was wrong. I have a picture of it.

When you pull a cap and inspect it, you are usually doing it for a reason. But plastigage tells you much faster if the customer needs to buy a crank or have it machined. You don't like it, tell the engineers to remove it from the factory repair manual. And I know about bearing crush, so don't...
