    2000 Corolla 1.4VVTI Misfiring When Cold

    Check the spark plug wires for wear, if you have a distributor, check the cap and rotor or wear. Anothet thing might be a broken idle air control solenoid, but it would have to have a large break in it to cause that condition. Don't replace anything without checking it first and verifying that...

    It should be free when you switch to synthetic blinker fluid. Also, our engines are chain driven. You're golden there.

    2003 Type S - No Compression

    1. How did the cam lobes look? Are they in spec? 2. Any broken valve stems, guides, or springs? The problem is in the valvetrain somewhere and not in the chamber or the pistons. Almost sounds like the valves are sticking badly. Is there sludge?

    LED Lights

    I got my dome light from Diode Dynamics and the rest from Super Bright LEDs. I have done everything except the turn signals in my 2014 and am in the process of doing my girl's 2010.

    Instrument Cluster Lights

    They are soldered LEDs. No bulbs to replace. You can do it yourself with a soldering iron. Several YouTube videos show how.

    Which Car Did You Come From?

    Corollas outsell Mustangs by quite a bit. I still see a few fox bodies running around here ('79 - '93). Fords have been holding value better over the years. GM and others? Not so much.

    A/C Not Cold Enough

    Check for debris on the condensor. Leaves and crud plugging the fins will cause the condensor to not fully do the job and the air won't get as cold. You might need to check the system pressure as well but 2008 is somewhat new to have a leak (usually they last 12 years before leaks start).

    Radio Light

    When the ignition is in START, the radio will always be off. This is what I'm thinking based on your statements that: 1. Lights work in ON until the headlights come on. 2. Lights work in ACC, regardless of headlight switch position. Correct? I second going to an electrician. Without being...

    Just Got My Third S!

    The Hello Kitty ... I mean ... Hellcat is great for a straight line, but it weighs too much to be any good around corners. If the Challenger wasn't such a pig, I'd be tempted to get one. It is a gorgeous car though.

    Alternative To SRI

    Distance the air travels isn't relevant before the mass air flow sensor. What adds power is ported intake manifolds and polished heads. What improves throttle response is the distance between the throttle valve and the intake valves.
