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

May 2, 2019 (3 days before it flooded)
@DVexile

Then sadness and sweating..

 

Nope, got another 2 weeks roughly

 

Redline MT90 is witchcraft. I didn't think a toyota trans could shift so well.

 

Well hit me up on the way through

 

Haha cool. Seems a little excessive and potentially thing to break(fans that is). I've been doing great with the passive cooler.

The thing I need to add really bad is a power steering cooler. This last weekend I had it boiling over and it was only like 95-100° out.

 

@Uphillshunter what did you buy to trigger the fans to turn on?

 

@Speedytech7

A thermostat switch and wiring harness (relay and fuse)

The thermostat switch is set to turn fan on at 180° and shut back off at 165°

Passive wasn't really what I wanted...
A) Because it doesn't really cool much when going less than 10 mph.
B) Because I want to keep the front of my radiator as clear as possible.

 

Finally got around to setting up my short/long term fuel trim readings on my Torque app and tested it out on my way home from work today. From what I understand on what little reading I've done so far on STFT/LTFTs, you want them both to be as close to 0 as possible without exceeding 10 in either direction (positive or negative). Does that sound right?

Just on my short ~7 mile trip home from work, I was seeing my LTFT average out to around 3 or 4. STFT jump all over but stay pretty much between -1 and 4. Is this acceptable?

 

Stripped out the PO’s nightmare alarm system, resoldered the factory harness, found a disconnected vacuum line and disconnected vacuum switch plug, reset my ECU and the truck feels better than ever. No more 17 LTFT at idle

 

tire rotation at DT, had them turn the tires around (white letters out) for a different look
and custom plates (just so I don't get asked again 'what year is that?')
... wanting to get that tow hook under in front colored, not sure which color would be better, perhaps the dark charcoal gray or red?

 

chrome mirrors too?

 

I’ve always had the system disconnected, but today was the day it all got removed. It’s a daunting task at first but if you go slow you realize most of it can really just be cut out. Only had to solder 1 wire.

 

where you planning on mounting it than if not in the front?

 

have no idea what you just said dude

 

Haha no worries, it's a reading you can pull up on an obdII scanner to check fuel delivery based on short term readings and long term (average) readings from the ECU.
If the numbers are off it can help narrow down problems like vacuum leaks, bad fuel pump, injectors, 02 sensors, etc.

Fairly sure my numbers are good just seeing if someone knows better than me.

 

No joke

 

Yup. If MT90 isn't working then it's the clutch or the trans synchros have been killed already by lesser fluids.

 

Ideally you want the 2 numbers to add to around zero. Any number around higher than 10 isn’t ideal.

 

Probably under the bed.

 

or the shifter bushing is bad
