I know it doesn't lock up until coolant is hot enough but even when the engine is at operating temperature it doesn't lock up sometimes. Like heres an example I drive about 100kms a day 50kms each way. The highway is about 20kms from my house so by the time I get there the car is as warm as...

Okay well my 89 Cressida with 210 000kms on it has a slight problem with the tranny. It's a 7mge with a A340E automatic transmission. Sometimes it does not lockup the torque converter in overdrive and other times it does it fine. So I'll be spinning an extra like 500rpm at highway speeds and...

Hey everyone I just wanted to know how many inches of drop would it take before the springs to become uncaptive when there is no load on the strut. Meaning that if you lift the vehicle with the wheels hanging how many inches of drop would cause the springs to become loose once the vehicle is...

It doesn't cost much to do. I spent about $40 to do all 4 wheels. But the amount of time I took must of been atleast 12 hours but hey I got a lot of free time anyways so I just did like an hour here and there over a span of 3 or 4 weeks.

Alright well I'm at school right now so I can't do any testing until I get home. I'll try unplugging the sensor and driving the car home to see how it drives but will my temp gauge still be functional?

So to test that voltage I would stick my leads into the plug whiles it's hooked up to the sensor with engine running?

I put a new toyota thermostat when I did the swap and timing is set to 10 degrees before TDC with TE1 and E1 jumped. And that voltage is when I have the engine running and unplug the plug to the sensor and check voltage coming from the plug.

Okay well let me start off by giving you some history on the car. It's an 89 Toyota Cressida with a 7mge mated to an automatic. I swapped the motor about 3 months ago with a motor from Japan because coolant was getting into the oil and I just kept driving not knowing because there was no...
