    I need to pull the 7M

    There was a great writeup on pulling the engine... more of a check list perhaps. I'll see if I can find it... just don't remember anything specific to the title.

    Dual outlet vs. single outlet... which is quieter and which has a cleaner sound?

    The title says it all. I'm looking for a new muffler, I think I may pickup a Borla. The part I'm not sure about is whether a dual tip (I'd prefer the exhaust to look pretty much stock) is any quieter or if the sound is any cleaner. I'd like to hear from those of you who've had the chance to...

    3" exhaust on a stock NA Pic/video

    Give us some more details too... are you running with a resonator? How about a cat? Looking forward to the vid.

    Car stalls sometimes.

    ROFL! Must've been the heroin. :icon_razz Given the way my head works sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised if you told me Firestone and a crossed circuit swapped the tire company out for some unknown steak house! :nuts:

    Why wouldn't they release it to you?

    build your own set of plug wire's?

    I just ordered the parts to make my own plug wires from www.performancecenter.com. I ordered Taylor's Spiro-Core Pro, distributor boots w/contacts and a package of 50 straight plug connectors. I'll be reusing the boots from the dirt cheap wire set I've got on right now as I couldn't find...

    I lost my keys... damn... Now what?

    Sorry bud, trust me I know plenty of locksmiths (myself included, up until few years ago). There's a BIG fuckin' difference between using a key with averaged cuts on locks that are worn beyond spec and a master key. I've used both, I know the differences in how the keys are cut, how the...

    Car stalls sometimes.

    You're working at a garage now? Where? When we met up weren't you working at a restaurant? Working at a garage could be downright sweet... provided, as you mentioned, it ever gets slow enough to get some of your own work done. The ISC is what the front throttle body coolant hose connects to.

    Hit a curb

    So when you rotate the rotor does it wobble at all? Also check your alignment bolts, all of them. They may be hand tight, but there's a massive difference between trying to push on the arm by and versus the weight of a shifting vehicle on them.

    I lost my keys... damn... Now what?

    I'm sure there's a limit. The problem is that quite often the majority of employees have no idea what it really is. It's all rather academic though. Reign's lock set doesn't match anyway and he'd like it to. in which case you can either buy a complete new set from Toyota (I don't believe...

    Car stalls sometimes.

    Too bad our days off don't match and you live on the opposite side of town from me... I'm going to be using my father's garage tomorrow to do a little work and I could help you get your problem diagnosed pretty quick.

    I lost my keys... damn... Now what?

    I think you missed the parts where Toyota doesn't keep VIN records of key codes for more than XX years (I've heard a couple different numbers, but it's around 15). At any rate I'd much rather rebuild my lock cylinders anyway to prevent someone else's key from working in my car.

    Car stalls sometimes.

    ^^^ There are details in the TSRM. It's mounted on the intake surge tank, has a harness with 4 wires connecting to it and has a hose (not vacuum line) running from the forward part of the TB to it. Test it per the TSRM and pull it and clean out any crap that may be clogging it, the hose that...

    Codes 25 and 26

    Probably... I'm surprised. There are very few situations were you can run a 7M without an O2 sensor. I assume you don't have any piggybacks installed?

    Check your TPS and ISC.

    Anyone have a 3" exhasut on a NA?

    Anything's better than the stock baffled resonator and muffler combination. Except for straight 2.5" pipe..... my car is WAY too LOUD! I hate it! 3" isn't bad unless you're using a restrictive type noise reduction system... the exhaust cools and slows before it can exit the system. If you're...

    Codes 25 and 26

    Have you checked all the usual suspects? O2 sensor, spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil? The next couple things would be fuel pressure regulator and damper. The next two things I would check are the TPS and AFM.

    I lost my keys... damn... Now what?

    Well the first thing you could so is if you know there's not going to be anything else in the glovebox, unscrew the two lower hinges and get the box hanging... shake it around a little and see if you hear keys.... it'll work better if there's more than on key on the ring of course. If you can...

    Performance software

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can't (easily or cheaply) connect a computer to our ECU... The only practical way of changing sensor signals and responses with the stock ECU is with a piggyback system such as the MAFT Pro. Otherwise you're looking at a full standalone system which replaces...
