Replying to: crankshaft (Sep 12, 2005 4:58 pm) Good advice except for the O2 sensor temp. According to my info it uses a heated sensor.

Replying to: krossover (Sep 12, 2005 6:31 pm) "-Is it true that if you can't rotate the rotor manually when the distrutor is out, it is damaged and needs replacement with an entirely new one?" The distributor housing has 2 bushings which support the shaft. There should be virtually no resistance to the shaft turning whith the distributor off the engine.

Replying to: mazda626atx (Sep 12, 2005 9:20 am) Any cracks or other damage in the air intake system after the MAF will allow unmetered air to enter the engine, causing a lean condition and pretty much all the symptoms you describe. A leak in the air filter housing won't do it, but brings up another possibility. Most MAF's use a heated wire, with the ECM monitoring the current through it. As airflow increases, there's more cooling effect on the hot wire and decreased current flow through it. If unfiltered air has been pulled through, check for a dust bunny on the MAF hot wire. Will insulate it and cause your symptoms. Can usually be cleaned by a blast of aerosol air intake cleaner after removing the MAF sensor. Don't get too Rambo with it, the wire's pretty thin.

#2029 of 4963 TOYOTA PRERUNNER LOSING POWER by joshtoy Sep 13, 2005 (5:22 am)
I have a 1998 Tacoma Pre-runner 4Cyl. Sluggish between 55-60 MPH, struggles on slight inclines. Just over 70,000 miles. Toyota of Augusta said $4500 for a new engine head. HELP!!! It runs better with a half tank or more of gas. Runs real bad with less than a 1/4 tank. HELP! Replies to this message: alcan (Sep 13, 2005 7:11 am)

Replying to: alcan (Sep 13, 2005 3:19 am) I dont think you will remember my post. Its been sooo long and an ongoing process, but after I installed the tranny cooler which the mechanic disconnected and moved the radiator to do, the CEL started coming on at much lower engine rpms and temperature. Thats probably what caused the air filter box to open a crack, the pulling on the intake housing. I had blown it clean with Aerosol pre installing tranny cooler. Now I think I will either try aerosol on it again , carb cleaner,or just buy a new Bosch for $106 online.Do you have any experience with the carb cleaner? If you think its not a good idea , (wire is very thin I have seen it) ,do you think the Bosch will be ok not being OEM? I have to lug it to Greece and want to be sure about it . Mazda has reman only. Bosch has new ones Thx Alcan for your quick reply and time PGP
#2032 of 4963 Intermittent brake light problem by cornellpinoy Sep 13, 2005 (6:24 pm)
On a '94 Olds Cutlass Supreme, the rear taillamps do not always illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed. However, the center brake light ALWAYS illuminates when the brake pedal is pressed. The taillamps illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed only if you play with the hazard switch. The bulbs in the taillamps are good. The turn signals and hazard flashers operate correctly. Any ideas?
#2033 of 4963 Windsheild wiper fluid nozzel clogged by fgmyed Sep 13, 2005 (7:59 pm)
We have 1996 BMZ Z3 and 1999 Infiniti I 30 and both cars windshield wiper fluid sprays do not work. When we try to turn it on we can hear the pump working and both reservoirs are full. My guess is lines are clogged. My question is how do you clean the lines? Thank you. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 14, 2005 6:52 am)
