    I had a 97 and tried a 96.

    97 has two ECUs. I had an early one (pre May 97) but the second ones are the boost approved ones.

    Hopefully this works. If not.

    Igor is getting the damn blower.

    oil is fine after adjusting the dip stick. Besides needing a full change probably.

    Not mine, but my fathers, just did the timing belt and water pump for him on his 02. First one its had, 120k miles. Lower idler pulley had quite a bit of play so replaced that with the one from my truck as well as some new hoses. all in all a productive day I'd say. switched to the pink antifreeze too, thing still had the red stuff.

    Sad thing is 2 1/2 years ago he bought it with 67k on it... now that was a clean truck, but now it has replaced his corolla on the 7 day a week 140 mile round trip commute to work. He still trys to keep it clean and keep the road salt off though

    Disabled my ABS. Was a confusing endeavor because the descriptions of how to do it on TW have been relatively vague. Some say pull the little ABS2 fuse, which I do not have or could not find. Others say pull the large 60 AMP fuse that is screwed in from the bottom. Well its kinda not, you need to remove the inner fuse panel from the fuse panel mount. Will do a more complete write up in my build.

    Then built my replacement reservoir from a bottle I got at wal mart. Used the method I think @Squeaky Penguin or @alee891 used. Reused all the rubber grommets and shoved it in.
