No problem. Be interested in seeing how they came out on your Corolla.

Use Photobucket. I'm getting a Forbidden error as well.

Scott, look at the image on post #3. That looks like a PCM compensating for a bum fuel injector that sleeps on occasion. It is probably falsely triggering the ignition circuit failure codes. Given that there are no codes for fuel injector failures, the PCM is triggering a misfire code. I have...

Correct me if I am wrong ... but the compression rings are supposed to have a tight fit and should only be moving when the piston moves. Oil control ring is a different story.

See what the O2 sensor does first, then go from there. Only do one repair at a time.

Shocks that get filled with compressed air are typically only available on box frame trucks, vans, and SUVs ... they won't be available for unibody cars, especially the Corolla. You'll just have to read reviews of different shock manufacturers and see which one gives the most comfortable ride...

Get me two pictures. One of the beam pattern projecting on a street, and another projecting on a garage door or some other wall.

The LED lamp assembly can be replaced, but you cannot, as far as I know, disassemble and just replace the LED array. The picture will tell me if it is normal or if some of the LEDs are burned out. These lamps use an LED array, so dark spots will signify that some are burned out. But I need a...

Could be a safety Subaru put in? Or it is just poor programming. And yeah, I buy only manuals anyway so it would never be an issue for me.

The new Subaru WRX STi is releasing with a CVT, so it looks possible for a CVT to handle power; however, Car and Driver blasted it for noticeable delay to downshift going to wide open throttle.

Agreed. Other companies have used CVT with no issues, and I'm certain Toyota tested them thoroughly.

You can take a picture of it and post a Photobucket link here, but I'm certain it is normal.

The LED lamps are a sealed unit and cannot be replaced with halogen. Honestly, I have no idea why you'd willingly go back. Halogens have minimal light output and that yellow color.

They are great cars. I have a Super White S Plus 6MT

Dry test was on Page 4 Scott.

This year may use iridium or platinum electrodes, which are never gapped. As far as everything else goes ... ???

Obviously, a tune-up if you haven't done so in a while. After that, I would check the ignition system. Check the plug wires and resistance check the ignition coil. A vacuum leak would cause issues all across the board. Issues that surface in the upper RPM range tend to fall on ignition...

Yeah, rings in #2 and #4 are toast. There is a defect with these engines where the piston rings will wear prematurely and cause excessive oil consumption. Either you'll have to save up for another car, or rebuilt the motor that is in it now. Both options will cost you less in the long run as...

He replaced the spark plugs already. Using a multimeter on the coils would be good, but he said that he already shuffled the ones he had around with no change. I suppose the next step would be to check the condition of the fuel injectors. Other than that I am out of ideas. Very odd.

Only issue I had with my girlfriend's Corolla is an airbag light came on for three days after she drove through deep water. Hasn't been an issue since. Well, that and the start-up noise that I need to take it to the dealer for.
