cool, as long as it is "sensor friendly".

bump- c'mon, somebody? :cries:

I got a stock radio/cd player to swap out my non cd stock radio. Connectors are different & fsm shows a separate amplifier. Has anyone done this swap out? Is there any connectors out there that can make this work?

Do a search. :chairshot:

I did mine a short while back. Engine was cold & very little (less than an ounce) actually came out. But plugging the line as mentioned above should eliminate much of a "mess".

Agree with above. Also check for corrosion in the socket & clean up contacts if needed.

dual element bulbs? 1 element in bulb for brakes, one for turn signals. Pull out bulb & ck elements with a meter OR take it to yer local parts house & they'll test it fer ya. ;)

The rear stabilizer (sway) bar bushings. There are 2 of them. If yer gonna do it, do the 2 end links too. B) What is an "endlink"? They are a dogbone shaped piece about 4" long with ball joints on either end. One end to the end of the sway bar & the other end to the strut. I did the test mentioned in the FSM for testing torque on the end link joints and all of them were loose & worn out. Tight, smooth & quiet now!

The local toyota stealership said I had to get em @ Lexus. $23 for 2 rubber bushings! Ah well, at least it's fixed!

oh yea, replaced the sway bar end links & bushings. Got the end links (both) off ebay cheaper than one priced high @ stealership. Had to get the bushings @ stealership though. 45 minutes, drive test & no more noise!

After doing above, you may want to check compression on that bank when the engine is hot & again when its cold. A friend of mine had a misfire code & it ended up being a crack in the head between the valves.

Did you try the winzip.com utility download to decompress the fsm download? You will need Adobe Acrobat to then read the uncomressed FSM's.

I had the same problem when I downloaded it too. Go to winzip.com & download the newest version. It's free & it will work on the files.

my hood does the lame thing per say. There is slack or tolerance in the hitch. Try adjusting it if you can. If it rattles is it metal to metal. I would lube up the latch with spray grease and maybe check to see if you have rubber bumbers on the hood area. Oh, Welcome to LOC! I think mburnicas is on to something. Check if the rubber bumpers on either side of the underhood area are 1) still there and 2) if they are mounted on a stud that is adjustable. If so' adjust them up so they better support the hood (force from underneath the hood "up") while still keeping the alignment with the rest of the body. Between adjusting those & the stationary hitch hopefully it'll tighten things up! Hope that helps & welcome!!!
