What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

HKS sock for the win.

 

Did you come up with that idea solely on your own, or did you have to lace someone else in?

 

I would cry if I scratched those. My first rock chip, in my old Advans, gave me a seizure.

 

It was actually surprisingly easy. Fired the truck up and saw the CEL, which was surprising. Truck idled fine, and drove fine, except under harder acceleration, it would 'buck' every few seconds.

I opened the hood and the mouse had left behind a massive nest, which went all the way from deep in the V all the way up to the top of that black engine cover we have.

I pulled out handful after handful of fluff.

We also carry an XTool D8 (a fancy dealership level ECU/OBD2 reader/scanner) and the code pulled up the Bank 1 Knock Sensor failure. My wife had previous 'mouse eating wires' problem several years earlier when she was in school.

But yeah, you have to pull the MAF, Plastic Air Surge Tank, the secondary injection system, the aluminum intake manifold, and the primary fuel rails just to get to a $35 dollar wiring harness. It took ~6 hours to swap the harness.

 

Coming along…

 

Do you have the C rated or E?

 

What Dobinsons set up did you go with? 314 coils? I've been looking into going with the IMS kit. Definitely post some pics when you get it back together.

 

Finally had warmer weather and between the spring rain to install my pnp harness from @daveeasa so the back lights would work on my DD SS3 pro fog lights with my factory L.E.D. headlights and DRLs.. Thanks again @daveeasa . Pics coming soon.

 

I went with 314 coils with IMS and leaf kit

 

No the nice wheels were fucked.

I ordered a new set that night to try to make me feel better.

Thems are some mad troubleshooting skills there brother. Well done!

 

Clearly you’re new here - Welcome to “What Have You Done…..”

 

At least you got it figured out.

 

Yeah, nbd overall. Fix and move on. I’ll be done with it tomorrow and at least a fluid change is coming from the swap.

 

Finally, bought battery analizer, it feels much better not to be a guessing "it's good or dies soon". Here is my 5 years old OEM battery.
will monitor at least once a month. Peace of mind.

 

that wiener is cold

 

could you drive it home?

 

nice boxes
