Be afraid. Very afraid.

Sounds like you have more stuff stopping up your radiator again. If not possible sticking thermostat.

If you are unsure of the age of either item I would suggest just replacing both. Good insurance against future problems for less the $20.

Just for a future reference, I use the SST test light for a lot of my power/ground switching tests.

When I got my car it had several rear hatch leak issues. This in turn created havok for everything electrical in the hatch area. Power antenae, tail light failure relay and the tail light sockets were all corroded and mostly inoperable. I got most of the lights operational to a point. With the...

OBD I was the first implemented diagnostic to read trouble codes from the ECM/PCM. It went horribly wrong as each manufaturer implemented it in their on way. OBD II goes further into diaagnostics but also unfies the system. The fedral US EPA, CARB,and the auto manufactures mandated that...

This is why I am trying to figure if some newer J-hook style arms would fit our cars. Hmm....my wifes Camry is sitting outside.....

Nothing to it but doing it!

Wow. That is really bad. Just take your time and label everything as you need to. Best of luck with it.

I would consider it safe to use on a fried MAF.

Wow! Internet FUD at its finest. I am certainly learning about all this but was under the impression that the exhaust A/R would be the deciding factor in using it on our cars.

New spark plug wires? Or new wiring to the battery?

Replace all the rubber hoses and belts. Replace water pump and thermostat. Pray it doesnt have a rod knock. Good luck with it.

Good luck with the wiring. Let us know how it comes out.

What has been perpetuated on this forum about not re-using head bolts is information on torque to yeild (TTY) bolts. The TTY bolts should never be re-used as problems can, and usually do, occur. TTY bolts were an effort by the various manufaturers to cut costs. The bolts are cheaper for them to...

You had (probably still have) another problem going on. Sounds like you still have power feeding to you ignition coil somehow. You dont notice it anymore because you have a good coil wire that doesnt allow the spark to jump and build up again. This could also be a source of your current problem...

They are of no concern as far as wiring your mirrors. It is just a reference letting you know that wire of the circuit is branching out to suply power to something else. Example: You have a set of 5 lights on one circuit all powered by the same fuse. Bulbs are good. Fuse is good. You have a...

All decent theories that could cause the problems you describe. The wires go in a general shortest to longest length. Locate #1 on the cap. Then verify they are all going in firing order. 1 5 3 6 2 4. I am still trying to figure out how bad spark plug wires can discharge a battery though.

The misfire will come back. Until you get the smoke and coolant issue fixed new plugs are a waste. Of course then there is the knock issue you claimed to have.....

If you have time to do it twice, you had plenty of time to do it right the first time.
