I didn't buy the Corolla my mom did. 2009 Corolla S. And it has been my nightmare since about 2011. I'm not saying its a bad car but it has been treated Very Very rough. I have had to learn a lot about the car and try to figure out how to fix about everything on it. I must say that I am...

http://workshop-manuals.com/toyota/ This site helps me alot. Lots of information. A little hard to get thru but like i said alot of informaiton.

Does anyone know what the Right Hand dash ID# means? The ECU I am going to buy says its compatible with my car but they say to check the id and make sure. The numbers match exactly from my ECU to the Used ECU. Is there an id I should look for other than the one on the ECU? TOYOTA COROLLA...

My moms 2009 Corolla S 2zr-fe engine. Should the fuel pump always run a little when you first turn on the key? I have no voltage to the pump motor. I pulled the pump and the motor runs. Does anyone know where to start troubleshooting the electrical for this? I have no drawings for this and...

Will they tell you where it was made? when i tried to buy a window for the door they asked me where it was made and i didn't know and they gave the wrong window.

At this point i do believe i have a bad pcm. I checked the wires back to the connector and they are good. I checked the pins for the air intake sensor and have 4.9 volts to ground on both all the time when the car is running. Today i decided to put the e2g wire to chassis ground. With the...

I did make my own connectors with some db connectors like what would be used in a computer comm. port connection. They are small square ones and fit perfect. They have heat shrink around them to keep them from touching. I have not soldered them on because i am still working on buying the...

I need some more guidance with this maf sensor testing. I have a new maf sensor and still getting the codes for the maf and air temp. Should i be able to see 12v across two pins. Like from b+ to e2g. Or just 12v from b+ to ground. No continuity from e2g to ground. Is this my problem?

I sure will!

Wow! That's exactly what I have been looking for! I am so glad I joined this forum and asked for help. I'm not exactly a mechanic. I like to do my own work on all my cars but I do electronics for a living. In my field i have access to every drawing, print, schematic that I would ever need...

Do you guys have any ideas on how to wire that mass air flow meter back up. Three of the wires are pretty self explanatory. Pink (THA), Brown\white (ETHA), and purple (VG). But there are two black wires. When i turn the key one wire has 12v. I am guessing that would be pin 3 (b+). The...

I did go to the dealership for this part. I figured This one is pretty important as far as safety goes to have the right part ($80 hose). I just cant figure out why he cut it. The connector on the end of the hose has a tab on either side that you push with your fingers and doesn't even...

I'm having trouble finding the correct fuel line part. My dad cut the fuel line in the engine compartment to see if fuel was getting to the engine lol. Don't ask me why because i don't know. It is the fuel line that connects to the metal line from the tank to the metal line on the engine. It...

i found the proper maf sensor online waiting for the part. replaced fuel pump (original problem) not popping the main fuse anymore. car starts but still has 102 and 113 codes for maf. Now have to replace (still looking) the fuel tube sub assy. in engine compartment. this was also cut in half...

Thanks for the post! I realy want to put the correct parts on the car but unfortunately im not having much luck finding them. I have checked all the auto parts stores in my town and no one has the connector. The auto parts junkyards keep showing me a connector that does not fit either. Im...
