    2003 Corolla S - How Can I Improve

    I dunno if they share a block or not. I don't think it would be as simple as a head swap and a new PCM.

    2004 Corolla Rough Idle When Warm

    Grab a bottle of water and start spraying around vacuum lines when the engine is warmed up and running rough. Check around the EGR circuit and those hoses. If the idle improves when you spray an area then goes back to running rough, you found your leak. I would say to check your spark plugs...

    Improved LED Reverse Lights and LED Tail/Brake Lights

    Scott, I believe so. Better visibility, less amperage draw which helps the alternator, they last a lot longer than halogen bulbs and you also have instant luminescence, which is a good thing especially for brake lights.

    2004 Corolla Rough Idle When Warm

    DIAGNOSE!!! Don't just replace stuff! Is it still doing it even with the gaskets resealed?

    2004 Corolla - Steering Wheel Lock

    The steering lock won't activate while you are driving (in theory anyway), I would look for signs of it sticking or something lose. I'm surprised it even let you turn the engine over like that. Bizarre...

    2ZR-FE Turbo Kit

    You'd have to get the engineering department if possible.

    Blutooth Problem

    I upgraded my HTC DROID DNA to an HTC One M8, and the functionality actually improved. Does your phone need a sofrware update?

    Improved LED Reverse Lights and LED Tail/Brake Lights

    They will work, as the strobing is done with the chip the LEDs are connected to. Read the description though, the strobing is done with an on-off-on cycle and it says it was designed for emergency vehicles, so it sounds like a fast strobe.

    2001 Corolla Rough Idle/Stalling

    A lot of older mechanics struggle to fix computer controlled cars. Troubleshooting skills is mandatory with them.

    2000 Corolla VE Maintenance

    Not sure if that is the upstream for your car. Would need to get the part number from an auto store or from rockauto.com If that is the right part, it's a good price for Denso (which is OEM) As far as the YouTube link, it says the video is missing...

    Improved LED Reverse Lights and LED Tail/Brake Lights

    Won't need anything for the reverse lights. The strobing function will only work on those when you go from reverse-neutral-reverse quickly. I'd never use the strobing (and it could be irritating to other drivers and possibly illegal), but it is up to you.

    2012 Corolla LE -Looking for Feedback on Steering

    It is a touch on the sensitive side, but you will get used to it with time.

    2012 Corolla LE -Looking for Feedback on Steering

    I have a 2014 with the EPS, and my girlfriend has a 2010 with the EPS. Took a little getting used to (different feel from power steering) but I don't notice the difference anymore and am used to it.

    2009 Corolla - AUX to USB

    I had a 3400 series receiver in my Matrix, loved it, and the fact that I could get the buttons to match the rest of the interior.

    Overhead Sound Like Rice in a Cardboard Box

    Well past the warranty period for the bumper-to-bumper. Ummmm ... I've never heard of that happening, but it sounds like that is what it is. It won't cause an issue with the car, but I'd definitely be tempted to take a look by pulling some trim off. Any chance when you are letting the visor...

    2007 Corolla LE

    Looks good! And that is odd it isn't letting you edit. Maybe there is a time limit for editing a post?

    O2 Sensor Defouler Question?

    Liberal, LMAO! Spoken like a true cheater. Glad you're driving your rigged car. My car is so awesome, it works the way it is supposed to work!

    2004 Corolla Rough Idle When Warm

    Sounds like a vacuum leak on the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) circuit. That only opens up when the engine is warm. IAC wasn't the issue. IAC increases idle when the engine is cold, when the A/C Compressor clutch is active, or when steering the car while parked, but it does not effect the...

    2001 Corolla Rough Idle/Stalling

    Sounds like the catalytic converter is plugged. What happens is the engine slowly builds up pressure there, you lose vacuum, then stall. 1. Find another mechanic. This current one is a complete idiot. 2. Have new mechanic hook up a vacuum gauge to the intake manifold and check the vacuum...
