a new wiring harness is a good idea if your current harness is in bad shape. but what you can do is wire in a new 4pin connector that you can find at a local autoparts store. i bought one used for a trailer hitch. -pete

i bet its the cps wiring. do what katu said and have someone wiggle the cps connector while you try to start the car. -pete

V3 here too. i love it. i agree with black. it seemed really long when i first installed it because i was used to the sogi shortshift mod. but after driving with it i realized why its so highly recommended. shifts so smooth and no more vibrations while cruising (had that problem on the sogi...

when i had to replace my door, the window class came with that nasty factory tint. i scraped most of it off with a razor and class cleaner, but it still has residue left on it. i tried almost everything. what worked best for me was one of those portable dry cleaning steamers you use on your...

i had the same problem... i thought the cable was just stretched out. i got tired of opening the trunk and pulling the cable manually. what i did was just put a zip tie around the cable between the sleeve and the end of the cable. fixed the problem. sorry cant describe it better -pete

my ballasts keep burning out. the hi/lo motor works fine

so is there a raindate scheduled?

yes... its a good idea to leave the o2 connected so you can get a good base tune dialed in. you want to satisfy the ecu before you go and remove the o2 sensor. with the o2 connected and before you mess with any fuel settings on the pro, adjust the fuel pressure until you can get the vf signal...

very true

so, we need a definite plan.... even tho its gonna rain. anyone else rolling through?

well the first time pulled my own engine, a lot of those bolts were original and were never removed. some were stripped and some were already rounded off by the previous owner. its just good to be prepared. i replaced almost all the original bolts with new grade 8 fasteners or new from toyota...

did you change the water pump? small chance this may be your problem... but i changed the water pump on my girlfriends es300, never checked the part number. turns out the guy at the parts store got me the wrong water pump (for a v8 lexus). it flows alot more than it should. her car barely got...

carbon fiber CFX lip. I love mine. Only put it on for special occasions. Its too low to the ground on my car and i cant pull in to most driveways. But i imagine most lips would give me the same problem -pete
