My sister hated stickshifts, got pissed at my Dad when he bought her a stickshift Samurai. Ever since she's had that Samurai, every car she has owned since is a stickshift. Realized how fun it is.

Replace the upstream O2 sensor, go from there.

My S has been beautiful to me as of about two months ownership. If it does this a third time, I'd invoke Lemon Law and have them put you in another LE Eco.

One of the incentives for the manual was so that I wouldn't wake up to find my 2014 S gone and my girlfriend's 2010 LE in its place, LOL! Taught her to drive a stick when she was first learning but it was a lot to take in for her. Now that she has been driving for a while, probably get some...

Personally, if you really wanted the S, I woulda bought it from the get go. Easier :-)

Ford did it with the Fiesta and the Focus, Volkswagen with theirs, hell even Hyundai.

Yup, Russian-Armenian. A Corolla isn't a race car, but I would still turbo one just to make Civic Si and Focus ST owners weep. Toyota should have considered a 180 hp engine in the S. Leave the L, LE, LE Eco for fuel economy conscious and make the S what it begs to be.

If all of that checks out, last possible thing is scale build-up in the cooling system. Gonna need to flush it.

You don't trip relays open. They're sealed units. If they are bad, you replace them. You need a multimeter. Disconnect your negative battery post and start resistance checking your wires and terminal connections, then hook the battery back up and test voltage accordingly, but chances are...

Not much out there for '94. Sorry man. You'll have to go with an 80s or 00s.

Cold Air Intake and Exhaust won't give you that much power. You're probably more in the neighborhood of 135, tops. Your bottleneck is in the heads. Valve timing and valve diameter (as well as port and polish) will take more kindly to a less restrictive intake and exhaust system. The stock...

I wish you had a Bluetooth OBD-II Scanner with the Torque App Installed. That will actually tell you the misfire count on each cylinder. Now since the code is happening on all four cylinders ... my best guess is either all connections are corroded or loose, or, most likely, you may have a...

No, but you do have to remove the heads to replace the valve stem seals because the valve springs and valve itself need to be removed to get to them (usually are made of brass or nylon and lock onto the valve itself). It's kinda your call on if you want to do all of the work to replace them or...

I had a 2008 Base. I loved it. Beat the piss out of it for 75,000 and I never had anything go wrong with it (and when I say beat the piss out of it, I'm not kidding. I constantly heel-toe-downshifted in the car, it saw redline at least five times a day, and had to upgrade to EBC brakes...

I figured it out. When I powershift I go to neutral before the clutch is fully disengaged. That is causing the thump, but as the brass wears in it seems to be fading away.

You'd have to know what you are doing. It isn't like programming a computer or cell phone. Java is universal but there would be commands that are specific to the stereo and chances are, they may be a little cryptic on purpose to prevent tampering. Messing up even a line of code can brick it, and...

Yeah I hear that. Why I traded the Matrix in.

Call Tire Rack.

Yeah, you gotta have luggage space. I like how big the trunk in the Corolla is, plus the rear seats. I'm 6' even and 215 pounds. I fit in the back seat just fine with plenty of legroom.

What was wrong with the Soul?
