Oh, by the way target has mobil1 15w-50 for cheaper than wal-mart. (almost a 1.00)

Lucas saved the 4G63 in my eclipse. Stopped it from burning oil. Yeah, it foams but that engine is a small four cyl. with no turbo. However, that said, I would never ever ever use it in a 7M.

This reminds me of my friend's 85' celica. He rebuilt the motor (HG, machining, port and polish) but when he got it on the road it had no power. He assumed he set the timing correct, but needed a new TPS. I didn't believe him so I tested his TPS with my meter. Turns out he installed it without...

Update: Pulled the coolant level sensor out of the tank today. The float was heavily covered in dried glycol. After scraping it off, the float became lighter - but not enough to float. The core seems to be made of a solid, porous iron inpregnated substance so i couldn't drain it. Sick of...

Thank you! But here is what really bugging me - Is the sensor designed to be removed easily? If I try and pull it out will I break it?

More backyard engineering for my toyota... : )

True. I certainly considered that - but I want everything to work. Maybe I could glue a foam ring to it?

jonathan1: NOT a wiring issue - I can make the light go on and off by moving the ring up and down if the ring doesn't float then how does the sensor work?

Ever since I got my supra the coolant level (bird cage) light has been on. Today I finally pulled out the reservior and cleaned the damn thing. I can actually see thru it now! Anyway, I tested the level sensor with an ohmmeter and it reads normal. (open circuit when up, ~4-5 ohms when down). The...

Was the engine under load when this happened?

I recently bought a 7m that had the same problem. Poor starting dead cold. Turns out it was the spark plug gap, about .15-.19 too big! I don't know who gapped the plugs, but they didn't know what the hell they were doing. I regapped them and she starts right up now. I want to replace them with...
