What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Thanks I’ll try that! Got the propped fitting coming off the blower for the hose to the fpr today also so we will see what happens.

 

That's what I was thinking and what I typically use but didn't think it'd hurt to get an opinion lol. Thanks man

 

Its saying the crank sensor because your engine isn't running and you keep cranking it. Check the coils, check for fuel and look at your timing belt (for out of timing). ohm test your spark plug wires 'to recommended spec' in the fsm.

 

Guess my buddy’s work in getting rid of all this wiring so now I get a few free spools of whatever I want. I didn’t realize they were just tossing it out or I wouldn’t have even asked what gauge I should get lol.

 

Shouldn't need to. Just remove key from ignition and start it again( I think thats what I did). But he/she should look at other things.

This is why I do regular interval maintenance and use oem parts. It really minimizes troubleshooting.

 

Take it all if you can. You'll never know.

 

They’re crazy to toss copper. Take the shit to a scrap yard and make a few bucks at least.

 

I told him to grab what he can especially the 14. My guess is he will get a lot of it.

They let him scrap 1600 lbs of aluminum radiator and keep the money since they were just going to toss it... Kinda crazy how much stuff they toss there.

 

That looks like mtw or thhn wire, its very hard coating and not nice and flexible like good auto. Fyi.

 

It's all good flexible wiring. I've used it before. His dad's worked there for 25 some-odd years designing robots basically. They just tend to not use much of this wiring anymore.

 

Tax write off when the throw it out.. my dad use to get thousands of lbs of copper from work because they would just throw the stuff out

 

BLue lock tight for the LBJ bolts correct?

 

I'll take a look at that then next.

 

Curious what is that unplugged on top of the PS fluid reservoir?

 

That was the Camshaft Position sensor I was checking continuity through the wire to see if there were any breaks.

 

I use red. I don't want any chance of them coming out unknown again.

 

Ah ok I was hoping your problem was not that obvious lol.

 

Wish it was that easy, I'll figure it out, just have to go through the steps.

 

Makes sense, I thought I read blue somewhere, guess I’ll go buy some red tomorrow before I start.

Thank you

 

I didn't use any. Torqued to the proper spec they shouldn't come loose. You'd be fine using blue, red is overkill imo.
