Decided after work to change my oil 2k miles early, so I flushed my motor, then used Pennzoil Platinum 5-30, we didn't have Ultra Platinum in stock in any weights other than 0-40 at work so I went with the next best. I also did a fuel injection cleaner service, and tried to replace my fuel filter, but man that sucker was on there! No luck in getting it off.

Some time later, he tried removing the coupling in the engine bay to tee in a fuel pressure gauge, and after working the thing back and forth repeatedly to break it loose, snapped his wrench in half. Toyota really dropped the ball on the long-term impact of whatever they used to seal those threads.

^^^ haha. I had the same problem when I first bought my car. I used vise grips and it worked like a charm. luckily I could still get the wrench on after the vise grips.
anyways I removed about 95% of all the wires that go to the abs including module. From front of car to back. ran into some minor problems so I barely got done from 10 am to 2 am. but that's also cause I had to go to the chiropractor and other errands. i'll take pics tomorrow.

Tried ot get my steering wheel on-center all weekend. No-go. Just a lil off to the right and the next adjustment knocks it out of whack entirely. Should have straignted it out the best I could BEFORE a tire change and alignment. She's due for some coils and new LCAs anyway. I'll just deal until the the spring

I cussed at mine today. Currently taking a break from trying to remove the damn transmission pan so I can put a new filter on it and see if that solves my trans problem before I shell out money to get another transmission.

Car started finally today after almost a week. We were checking voltage to different grounds and connectors on the battery. Then when we were checking the ground connected to the top of the fire wall, it tried to start, then tried again and held it for a bit and it started... Is it even possible to "jump" it, in a sense, like that? Think it may be something with that ground but I can't find anything on that. We'll see.
