    Shifted to 'P' at 10 mph

    As supercharged said use your parking brake otherwise when you do need it it won't work because the cable rusted solid in its protective sleeve, or it will work but when you release it your brakes will still be locked.

    poor acceleration from rest/stop

    Air, fuel, spark, the 3 things an engine needs. As someone said, check the air filter. Takes like 30 seconds to check, change it if you don't remember when you changed it last, they're cheap. Spark, pull the spark plugs to see if they're gummed up or worn down. Possibly a bad ignition coil...

    Head Lamp and radiator fan won't turn off

    Since both items are on I would rule out the fan control module and the DRL (daytime running light) module being a problem. Sounds like a bad ignition switch. In my car if I turn the key ever so slightly forward and hold it in between Off and ACC my fan will turn on and nothing else will but...

    2010 aftermarket wheel

    It's 15x6.5, 16x7 and 17x7.5 I bought my aftermarket rims from Carid, I didn't need a spacer since they're made for the specific vehicle you ordered for. The ones I picked were $104. I stayed with 15in instead of going larger because I didn't want the additional road contact for less fuel...

    how much is a air compressor for a toyota corolla 2009

    A Bing search shows $115 - $349. You'll also need to recharge system, so you're looking at part, labor and recharge. Before you choose to buy the part you'll have to go around to shops to see if they'll install a part you bought, most shops won't but some will but you'll have NO warranty with...

    Auxiliary Port or USB Port for best Audio?

    Playing from a USB stick sounds way better to me since it's the direct file to unit. Using the AUX port the file is being played by a separate device, gets an equalizer applied, amplified, ran through a stereo cable(AUX), unit receives it, applies a equalizer, amplifies it, then sends signal to...

    How about android head unit?

    Usually you buy a $10-$15 adapter harness for your car which you solder/butt connector to the aftermarket stereo wires(matching color to color) and that just plugs into your car's harness, so no wires are cut it's just plug and play.

    2010 Corolla Sport

    For handling get the "TRD Sway Bar" and the "TRD Strut Brace", they're OEM parts and you can order them directly from Toyota or a dealership. I believe that stock sway bar is 20mm and the TRD is 27mm thick. I was doing research and came across multiple people saying they help a lot. I ordered...

    What is this ? What does yours look like ?

    Sorry I have no conclusive answer. That looks like the left side of the trunk. I have a 2010 and I have half as many wires ALL in a nice tightly wrapped harness, no plugs or anything like that. All my wires are green or cream color except there's 1 red and a white with a black stripe wire that...

    A set of factory tires cost me half price

    SUMITOMO STT28U - TOURING LS (195/65R15 T) $58.92 best tires I've ever had. Use them from Spring to Fall and then I use snow tires in the winter. The worst tires I have ever had were Fuzion. I've had them on a 95 and 98 Taurus and they also came with my 2010 Corolla. Fuzion tires are complete...

    09 2ZR-FE engine swap?

    I have to agree with ZeCorolla, go with a Turbo Kit. Whatever you do don't get one from ebay, there's just no way you're going to get quality from a $600 full kit. Some of my friends at a dyno shop go by this rule of thumb 5psi you should see ~33% more power, 10psi ~66% more power and 15psi...

    Airbag Light on after car flooded?

    I know that in a 2010 the passenger airbag sensor is in the seat which turns the airbag on when it senses weight and turns off when there's no weight. It's possible that you have "standing" water in a wire connection (plug) which is causing a short, may require a few days in dry warm weather...
