    Did it yesterday, Could only locate one 510 resistor. Figured out the other one had come loose completely. Put it back in place and resoldered. Works now, Thanks!

    Here's a dumb question:

    I assume you shortened your bed... what do you do with the frame that's sticking out the back now?

    Just changed all 6 spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body and maf. Took out old TB gasket and put in the TRD "O" gasket.

    It's amazing what you can learn from these forums! I had never messed with a car before in my life, until I found this forum.
