    Huh...dunno how that relates to any of the maintenance work you did...odd. Might be a coincidence but hard to believe that's the case.

    How's your idle today? If it was simply due to removing and cleaning the TB it should be getting back to normal.

    Yeah I’m betting it’s coincidence. Idle is getting better. In park it’s around 1500

    I ordered some from LCE's website direct, cheaper than paying 75 bucks per line at Wheelers. If they're good enough for @1997tacomav6 's truck then they're good enough for me!

    I'm gonna order a set too and likely give away the rear as I already have a rear line. I'm interested to see how they perform.

    I didn't notice until after I ordered, but the ones I got look like braided stainless steel, and 1997tacomaV6's looked sheathed in rubber. Hope I got the right thing!

    most steel lines have a coating on them. Some don't though. Its just a protective thing, won't matter if you don't have it it. My rear line doesn't have it. Just the braided steel.

    Nope, I thought so too but that is what RA automatically did. It says you need to order two but will let you order just one if you want to. Plus look at the price, no way 4 lines is $37

    Just be happy you aren't required to use premium like some of us...and live where it's north of $4/gallon right now.

    $25/tank? Didn't that end around the time second gens were introduced? That'd be less than $1.50/gal.

    PNW, CA, and HI excluded obviosuly. Low prices in those regions don't even get down to the high prices here in AZ haha

    Saw regular dip just below $2 a few years ago for a short while here at the cheap stations. But yeah I haven't seen gas go for a buck fiddy since I started driving 16 years ago.
