A horrible trend...  fuel economy DOWN 6% in the last 15 years...  when
will people realize they don't need all that steel around them (and the
300HP motor to move it to their liking)?
"And the paper said that major improvements in engine technology over

96 Corolla wagon. Auto. Under accelaration in 1st gear, revs build up, box
shifts to second and then shift oscillates from 2nd to 1st. Does not
happen if accelaration is moderate. and ideas on problem and fix
appreciated.

I found out that my check engine light was coming on because of a P0302
(cylinder misfire) problem.  So I have to change the spark plugs and
wires. My car has 229K miles on it. Do I need to get the platinum plugs or
just go with the regular?

I’ve got a 2000 Tundra and whenever I’ve been driving around 60 or
above, whenever I go to slow down, the whole car starts shaking like
I’m driving over those little speed bumps. Any thoughts?

Someone on a Camry site asked about the quality of different oil filters. I
thought that it would benefit all to see these studies.
These studies will amaze you.....

Has anyone modified electric windows on a ’05 Toyota Corolla or
similar model that could help me out with hooking the electric windows
up to the battery so the windows can be rolled up and down w/o the
key?

I recently bought a 96 Rav 4, 80k miles from the original owner. The
timing belt has never been changed. I have changed a timing belt and
water pump and seals on a Honda Civic, Mazda truck and a Ford Ranger. That's
the extent of my experience.

Since the Echo got hit back in June, the gear box makes a sound similar to
the safety brake, when you move it forward.  Those sh.t-heads at "Courtesy
Toyota" claimed to have fixed it, but not surprisingly, they didn't.
Any thoughts?

I have an '85 truck with a recently rebuilt engine. The problem is, the
truck won't start unless I pour a little gas into the carb. What might
be the cause of this? It didn't do this before I rebuilt the engine.
                       thanks,

a tube will probably allow you to disassemble and reassemble your
entire car, oh, 4 or 5 times.
If you plan on selling your car when you're done with it, buy some and USE
it!

My 96 Toyota Corona (AT211) has an automatic setting for the headlights, can
anyone tell me how to adjust this.
All I can find in my drivers handbook is that it is possible and to take it
to a Toyota service agent.

does it matter to which one?
