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

why did you remove that for valve cover gasket?

 

Tried this and it’s still telling me I have one pending code. Not sure why I can’t get it to go away

 

So I could get the camshaft plug "1118862010 engine, camshaft & timing, plug All Models" out and replace it.

 

Hey do u guys think it be a good or bad idea to run different control arms? I'm purchasing lower TC control arms but i'm currently running JBA upper control arms with fox shocks also buying king bump stops

 

Had an ‘87...loved that truck.

 

Wait, is it a pending code or a not ready system. The drive cycle isn't dependent on how many times you start it, it is dependent on testing conditions, typically each system has a certain set of conditions to be met like speed and duration.

 

TC doesn't make lower control arms for our trucks...

 

They are awesome. One day I’ll restore mine and put a ls motor in it.

 

Where's a good place online to buy metric bolts in small quantities? Fastenal wanted $5 a bolt for some diff bolts - if the factory bolts weren't torx head I'd pay way less and get them. The bolts ol truly to replace are the ones that connect the tube to the clamshell.

 

McMaster Carr, but usually I'll go to a Grainger or ACE as they both have good hardware selections in store. You may have a Tacoma Screw near you and they're also good

 

Looks like they do (now?), as part of a full LT kit... I hadn't seen these before now...

Those have been around for a long time, I think he meant stock size. In which case solo is all that exists so far.

 

No one said anything about stock size or LT, just "TC LCAs." Clearly, more clarification is needed.

 

I thought it was implied because people don't typically mix and match LT parts as their geometry is proprietary.

 

Had the same issue with mine. Forget what code I had that was pending but ended up replacing the 02 sensors. Drove 60miles and passed first try.

 

The System is not ready is what the smog shops have told me. On my snacgauge it will say pending code of po136 but it hasn’t thrown an engine code in over 400 miles.

 

ORW solid.

 

I just replaced both o2 sensors last month. That’s where I’m lost because everything is pretty much new even some vacuum lines and it’s still not ready.

 

You likely have two issues, one is your system is on watch for another occurrence of your O2 malfunctioning (high or low or possibly slow response) which will stop it from setting the O2 system as ready which will stop you from smogging. I would start diagnosing your O2 sensor circuit issue, it is the one after the cat.

 

he has JBA uppers. Those are stock width.
