1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I missed this,

I’m gonna rip my seats and center console put tomorrow and hopefully take a shampooerer/ vacume to the carpet and maybe seats. Try and mop up all the dust.

Over the last 9 months I’ve slowly collected a whole tree of pine needles and wood chips, it’s not fine.

 

Air Tools 4 Lyfe.

I bought this cheapo $20 parts washer off this guy on Craigslist. I met him at a BART station, we went to his car and he also had a 1st Gen Tacoma. It was a nice '98 Limited with only 80k I believe. I gave him his $20 and was about to be on my way, when I asked him if he had any other tools for sale. Ends up he was moving away and selling all his tools.

And that's the story of how I got a 60 Gallon Industrial Campell-Hausfeld Air Compressor, Delta Drill Press, and Sandblasting Cabinet altogether for about $400.

That air compressor was MASSIVE - it went about 3 feet above the roofline of the cab. It took five people to load it.

 

@BartMaster1234

Well fuck me, they did get rid of it. Gonna get one of these to fill in some dead spots anyway. Well see how it does I suppose

 

The Kirkland socket set, right? Yeah I was really bummed about it. You get a lot of tools for $80.

 

This has got to be the most spot on post of the week! Can't stop laughing...because it's true!

 

The looks I got from people when I was driving on the interstate taking that thing home. Was a fun and terrifying experience altogether.

 

Yeah, the DeWalt seems like it has all the same stuff at least. So I guess we'll see

$15 off today

 

Everything you have mentioned checks out normal. Normal starts when cold and warm, even after letting it sit for a few minutes. I am only having this problem when the ambient temperature is excessively hot, around 100+. This is why I suspect a sensor and not vapor lock. I have driven the thing in 110+ degree heat, before the problem started, and have not had issues.

I can only purchase the IAT and TPS with an entire throttle body, which is $1000 at the dealership (I can't return it after purchase). I really don't have that money to spend, especially since I have not accurately diagnosed it. I have had a Toyota mechanic turn me down on the repair because even he doesn't know what the issue is.

I am stumped but open to all ideas.

Thanks for your response!

 

Why not just take one from a junk yeard to try. Would be cheaper

 

Can you even find these in junk yards? I can't. They are as bad as Jeep CJ's as far as making it to junk yards in my area. Pretty much non-existent.

 

Idk @BartMaster1234 goes to junk yards more then Anyone else here

 

Have you put what year and motor you have in the description? Lots of people can keep an eye out for you.

 

California does have the best self serve junkyards. In North Dakota nothing like that really exists. If it did it would be a pile of picked over Grand Ams and Grand Prix since those are like the BMW 3 series and M3 of the state that were sold in Camry/Accord numbers here.

I'm not joking when I say that somewhere in North Dakota a teenager has not a lambo picture on his wall, but a picture of a Grand Am that he pulls his pud over every night. Car culture here is fucking dead.

 

UUUGH, fucking coolant line burst on the cruiser on my way home. FFS can I get a god damn break?!

 

Bummer, was gonna like that post, but that seems way inappropriate.

 

Time to sell it to me for cheap

 

I'll give it to you for a grand less than I got it for, wheres my 16k?

 

Right next to the 16k I imagine that i have so i can buy parts for my tacoma

 

Well it looks like it's only the hardest hose to get to, shouldn't be that bad right?

 

Nah i heard thats the easy one
