Congrats on the numbers. Wish I could say I was even getting close.

Great to see the car back together and looking good.

It sounds like you are describing an alarm system of some sort. The wiring and connectors you snapped seem to support this as well. When you were removing the black boxes, were there any wires coming from the factory harness to them? It may have even been a wire that was lengthened from the...

^^ +1 !!eleventy!!111oneone^^ I can only imagine the windnoise or other sealing problems with the JCWhitney stuff.

There are very few times when you would need to replace head bolts on a stock N/A build. Replacing them as a precaution is another story. When you pull the bolts out, clean them up with a wire brush and a little carb cleaner or such. Inspect the threads. If you see signs of pitting or...

That is pure scientific opinion. :icon_razz Although some of it may be based in truth. I will have to find out.

The screw in style that is on there are just a pain to install. I have also had issues with the screws backing out in the past.

Just run you a fused 12V line. Alternatively you could tap into an existing circuit that is fused at 7.5A or 20A. J/B stands for Junction Block. I am not sure what the F is on the W-B wire. The other initials are just labels for those particular connectors to determine pinout locations.

I was wondering, since all the MKIII's used wiper arms that require screw on style wiper blades, has anyone tried swapping newwer style arms onto their cars? If so what worked for you? This would give MKIII owners more choices in wiper blade replacement. It would also eliminate the use of an...

I cant wait to hear what the actual failure was. Having to redo a HG job after less than 75 miles has got to blow. (No pun intended.)

As iamshawn has alluded, the snake oils and mystery dust in parts stores are never a good solution to a solid repair. These products were meant as a temporary fix to get you out of a bind not a permanent fix. Replace the hose/heater core now or replace more later. Your choice.

I didnt say it was the greatest idea. Just what Toyota had advised to their techs. Actually it was in response to someone messing a head up with a 2" Roloc disc on a die grinder. Using the Scotch Brite or sandpaper both pose dangers unless proper precautions are followed.

Actually, Toyota recommended that techs use 150-200 grit sandpaper on sanding blocks to prep engine blocks and heads when doing warranty head gasket repairs.

I have read the thread. All of it actually. I even read through your snapping at Joe, which prompted some of my reply. Here is what I have gathered from reading through this. 1) your car is in a bad state of tune. From the description it is running rich. 2) you have thrown parts at it and...

Make sure it is a BHG before you tearing into it. I agree the symtoms are pointing there. Napa part #700-1006 is one of the best tools for diagnosing a BHG. Can also inspect plugs and perform compression test but those arent as conclusive. Best of luck either way.

The best I can suggest is to flush it out really well with air and water. The more you can air it out the better. When I would repair motorcycle tanks I would fill them water. I can only remember one flashing on me that way. I didnt have it even half full of water. Was in a hurry to get it finished.

Black smoke and fouled plugs indicate your running rich. Vacuum and boost leaks will make you run lean. You need to find out why your injectors are letting too much fuel in. It could be a faulty TPS. It could be an injector getting a false signal and staying open. It could be an injector that...

Need to be looking at the injectors more than an O2 sensor. As JJ has already pointed out, it wont cause you to run as rich as you are.

You rebuilt the motor and didnt replace the water pump? I always replace a water pump on a rebuild. Think of it as cheap insurance. Then I think of how loud that pump was squeling before it locked up.

There has been plenty of controversy over this liitle item. Some manufacturers went so far as to integrate it into the starting system. Caused too many customer service issues. Could be a nice tool but can also be another point for a leak.
