QuismO

ahhh i see... hehe thanks. man i called the local autozone and they don't have any OBDii scanners to give out right now. called the stealership just to get an idea on how much it is to pull codes...$169!!!!!!!!!!!!! $61 just to reset the light...WTH. a local garage gave me a $40 price for pulling codes. $100 +/- $10 for an o2 sensor at the parts stores around here...sound right?

FTW? hehe sorry i have no idea what that means. so you think it's the O2 sensor eh? i'm gonna try and get some codes pulled ASAP before trying to reset the light. BTW, my Q's a '97

ok i found a few links on the web on this subject... Link 1 Link 2 Link 1 says that i can disconnect the battery for 24 hours to clear the code. Link 2 says that sometimes this can cause more problems, especially for smog related issues.... WTH, i might call a stealership to see how much it is to clear the light.

I want to know how to turn this light off, it just turned on during my drive to lunch. I know i don't have anything wrong with the engine, fluids have changed, belts, t-belt, plugs, filters, everything within the last 5k miles. Does anybody know how? tried searching, as well as the service manual, can't really find it.

seriously, i don't think that there could be another tool/extension that could do the job better for plug #6. the bend angles on the hand lever are made perfectly so that it clears the engine, and everything else in that area.

i busted my antenna mast last season in the snow as i tried to turn on the stereo to listen to the traffic/conditions report only to find that my antenna was frozen in place...so the little teeth got stripped off of the nylon belt thing. i'm gonna go the ebay route, i don't even want to try to get a quote from the dealer. i saw a listing for $12.95 +$5 for shipping. hopefully your old antenna from the garage will have a snug fit.

i was running bosch's until venge hinted that i try NGK's...i will never turn back. i immediately saw an increase in gas mileage...+1 mpg...that'll add up in money saved!

lucky bastard! LOL

i second that opinion. a capacitor being discharged on average 3000 times/minute at whatever wattage needed to create a spark at the plug would need to be pretty heavy duty...and probably wouldn't be able to fit INSIDE a wire housing...it'd probably run a lot more pricey to get a small capacitor that really did work.

i believe that the Q HID's are a little taller than the halogen housings

Really??!!! goodness...must've been either a huge hassle, or mighty expensive to bring it to the states. or maybe the seller is just a greedy bastard =P

you might have to do some cutting to make the new center console/armrest flush with your floor/carpet. a good secure mount might also be quite a challenge and require some fabbing. but hell, if you have the tools and the parts from the junkyard...go for it! post pics too, i'd love to see how it turns out. if you want, i can measure the width/length of the center console area to give you an idea of how it'd fit.

i hope i get 300k+ miles out of my baby =D

i wonder if that's true too. i always switched between the two on my celica...she went on to 130k, which is when i sold it, no problems whatsoever.

yea i agree. when quick vibration only occurs at highway speeds, i'd definitely think of unbalanced wheels from the get go. i had to have my wheels rebalanced after i got my new tires last month as well.

SM is currently the highest standard as it meets 2005 manufacturer's warranties. from lowest to highest, it goes SA SB SC SD SE SF SG SH SH* SJ* SL* SM* where the "*" means that the oil manufacturer was given a license 'cause their oils meet certain standards (you'll see a gold/yellow star-shaped symbol on the bottle). so according to the above requirements, since you need SG, you can use SG and anything higher (SH, SH*, SJ, SL, or SM) EDIT: BTW slick, i'm with you on the restore thing, it does give you a noticeable change. i feel more of a kick from a dead stop, and when going up inclines on highways, i don't need to force the tranny to go into a lower gear as much as i did before. 'cause on this one uphill stretch of I-80, if i kept it in 4th gear (auto tranny) and gas it to the point right before it downshifts, i'd slow down little by little. Now, if i keep it in 4th, i'll actually gain speed little by little.

so uhmm...what is it SUPPOSED to look like?

lol...maybe he goes fishing for stripers...i know i do...love it

i gotta see this!

you're killing my joy!!!! =P

at least you have a clock!!! mine's on the radio lol

mine's reversed

i'm actually gonna give this "restore" thing a shot. after 152k+ miles, i might as well.

actually hold on....scratch the thought about my cousin's 98. i think i just opened the hatch door, rather than just the window when i got something from his truck the other weekend.

I don't know bud. mine doesn't, nor does my cousin's 98. that's pretty weird.
