Sad thing is that these threads needn't be useless, if people would post the how of the solution instead of simply stating "fixed it, thanks."

That's surprising, you're the first person I've heard report that Seafoam through the vacuum system gummed anything up. I've used it myself in fact, to real effect. Seafoam actually works as a carb/th...

Fuel additives were a bigger thing back when gasoline was not sold with detergent already added into it. Now, they're a lot less likely to be important. Gum and varnish are largely dealt with by the d...

Not really, the charcoal canister is just a filter in a can. Activated charcoal, actually.

Bi-metal vacuum switching valve (BVSV) isn\'t part of the charcoal canister -- if it\'s the one for the evaporation system, it\'s connected to the charcoal canister by a vacuum line but is actually sc...

Ebrake stuck after cable and shoe replacement - 6G Celicas Forums

Sounds like the e-brake was originally assembled incorrectly -- the parts may all have been there and connected as they should, but aligned cockeyed. It should not be necessary to use significant forc...

Oil pan gasket? Not a solid gasket, it's sealed with Toyota black FIPG (form-in-place gasket) -- which is a step up from Permatex and the like.

The O-ring between the hub and the knuckle? Not sure, bought mine by going into the dealer and explaining what I needed. Check toyodiy.com perhaps.
