Reusing the timing tensioner after replacing the pulley (how to) - 6G Celicas Forums

As I said, it was likely oil build up in the PCV and intake system from the failed PCV valve.

Was the smoke suddenly bad or did it gradually become worse? You could just have the intake all loaded up with oil from the PCV issue pushing oil into the intake through the breather tube. Pull the th...

The horn is grounded to the body through the bracket and bolt which is why it only has one wire, if that ground is bad it won't honk. You need to get a good clean bare metal contact between the horn a...

1996 ST Daily Driver Left Front Strut leaking - 6G Celicas Forums

Pair of KYB struts, pair of top mounts, you'll be good. Though on a 96 I'd suggest the rears also, they'll be aged and worn like the fronts even if they're not leaking yet. It'll ride like a new car a...

I've seen faulty coolant temp sensors cause some bad idle problems with several Toyota models. The older setup has no check built in and takes the ECT sensor's reading as the gospel truth, even if IAT...

Tape is great but if it's possible always have one or two mechanical fasteners as well just in case.

Rear drum or rear disc? If drum are the shoes adjusted correctly and are the wheel cylinders working? They tend to get stiff with age and you end up working the front brakes much harder than normal.

If it's a new belt it's wise to re-adjust after some miles anyway, they stretch some when new.

Metric 8.8 is the same strength as standard grade 5, so you want metric grade 10.something or better bolts.
