If anyone has an oil filter cooler assembly pulled from a 5sfe let me know.

-Dave

I think I've figured it out. Found a crack on the inner seal to the oil filter cooler bolt and the cooler housing itself. I think the engine is losing pressure through the crack. Hopefully copper sealant will do the trick but if not looks like I'll need to replace the whole assembly...Dang...

-Dave

New thermostat and the problem is still here wow. It actually got a little worse since it tries to stall even in warmer temperature now (just not as bad as in cold temperature). My next move, test and/or replace

Oxygen sensor
ECM
Intake air temp sensor

If none of those things work, I just might pull this engine out and go office space on its @$$

-Dave

I was afraid it might be the thermostat. Just ordered a new one and I'll switch out whenever it gets in and report back. Thanks guys.

-Dave

Hmm I'll try that and see what happens. Thanks

Hey guys, I got a 1994 Celica GT 2.2L with an idle issue. I know this issue has probably been beat to heck but I can't seem to get a straight forward answer. I'm looking for someone who's gone through the same issue and hopefully can advise with their fix. So here's the situation.

During the cold-ish (say 30 Degrees and up) days, the engine will start up but immediately drop to an low idle and ALMOST stall. It'll continue to idle rough for about 5-10 seconds then it'll run normally. On really cold days (say under 30 degrees), the engine will stall. On these days I would have to hold the throttle to approximately 2000rpm for about 10 seconds and the engine will run normally. It ONLY does it on cold days and ONLY on the first start of the day. Once the engine has run a bit, it doesn't matter if I leave it (in the same cold temperature) for hours, it'll start up normally (as long as the start is within the same day).

Here are the things I've already done.

1. Changed coolant temperature sensor
2. Cleaned throttle body
3. Checked for vacuum leaks (none were found)
4. Checked MAP sensor (reads at correct voltage per pressure)
5. Changed valve cover gasket including re-sealing half-moon
6. Changed spark plugs
7. Changed spark plug wires
8. Checked EGR Valve (Opened correctly at 10psi vacuum)

So basically I'm pretty much stumped. Here are the things that I haven't tried but pretty sure isn't the issue.

1. Fuel injectors
2. Cylinder compression leak

Reason: The car recently passed emissions with flying colors. No excessive burning or signs of blow-by were detected during the emission, suggesting fuel isn't passing past the piston rings. I get average 25-26mpg, bang on where I should be, suggesting combustion ratio (Air/Fuel Ratio) isn't offset. No signs of power loss, even taking off from the cold start (after the engine idles normally).

There are two other symptoms with the car that may or may not be related.

1. Once a day, when the car comes to a stop (at the red light for example), the engine will "jerk" once with idle dipping very slightly for fraction of a section. Looks like minor knock to me. Weird thing is that this "knock" happens after significant time passes from the cold start but the time difference is random. Sometimes it'll do it 15 minutes after it set off in the morning or after hours of driving. Further more, it ONLY does it ONCE a day. Not sure if its related.

2. The coolant temperature gauge in the car reads a little..."funny". Not sure if its supposed to do this so let me know if what I'm going through is normal. On higher temperature days (50 degrees or more) the gauge will read normally (needle is pointing slightly lower than the middle). However, on colder day (depending on how cold it is) the gauge will read low as almost C, even after I've driven 6 hours non-stop. Granted I was traveling to New Hampshire and the outside temperature was 25 degrees with me traveling through it at 70-75 mph, gauge reading close to C just doesn't seem normal. Weird.

Anyway, I've been yakking too long. Thanks for reading and let me know if anyone has any thoughts.

How much are you looking for?

-Dave

I will as soon as I can.

Really? where did you get your H1 harness?

-Dave

Upon further research I see the real predicament now. The problem is, yes you are correct, no such thing as H1 to 9006 adaptor. To be clear, I have no intention of using a HID kit. The question is, H1 harness has a single power wire coming out from the bulb clip. The base of the clip/bulb assembly is, I think, the negative ground itself. However 9006 has both power and ground wire. Its easy enough to solder the power wires but what the heck do I do with the negative wire from the 9006?

Great! Thanks for the info.

-Dave

Where can I get the plug and play harness?

-Dave



Oops I guess this was the wrong forum hehe

But great info non-the-less. Thanks. Trying to see if there is a pre-made 9006-H1 harness I can buy so I don't have to cut wires. If not I suppose surgery time.

-Dave

Done some research on these but couldn't find the info I was looking for so I'm asking the community for help.

1. To my understanding the USDM low beam bulbs do not fit the projectors (9006 to H4? I think?) so as far as wiring goes do I just take the old wiring off and just resolder to the new ones or do I need a resistor or something in between to get the current down?

2. Does the high beam bulbs the same between USDM and projectors?

Thanks

-Dave

Very very nice! Love how that came out. Thanks

Let me know if anyone has an indicator lever (left side) with fog light switch (plastic ring-switch around the lever). Thanks

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply.

I absolutely love the Euro lip look on the prefacelift bumper. However, since it is almost impossible, it seems, to actually get a Euro OEM lip, I'm thinking about going another way. If I was to buy a JDM SS-III front bumper does it just fit right on to the prefacelift front? Thanks

-Dave

Just got my shirt and looks awesome! Great seller!

Getting both positive and negative feedback from various other forums. But the way I see it the price is hard to beat. I see no problem taking part in this buy.
