    2000 Corolla - Will Not Start

    DO NOT MESS WITH THE CAM TIMING! Do what Kevin said first. What you are describing screams of poor cam timing.

    Is it the Struts?

    Make sure the brand is a known brand name before getting amything from eBay. Best way to tell of that is the noise is to push down on the front of the car and see if you hear it. If it is the struts, it will make the noise when you push down on the car and let it bounce. The strut dust boots...

    2010 Corolla - How Do I Disengage the Auto Light Feature?

    Think only the dealer can do it, short of unplugging the sensor (and depending on the logic, might force the lights to stay on at all times).

    2010 Corolla - How to Remove a Drum Wheel Stud

    Several times I've worked on a car and just had that feeling to stop and approach it another way, LOL! ESPECIALLY when I am working on someone else's car. Last thing I want is to break somebody else's ride.

    2010 Corolla - How to Remove a Drum Wheel Stud

    Get a bunch of washers to put over the stud, that will let you get it on all the way. You can't tighten it anymore because you are out of thread.

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Wow, the trunk of the black car is bad. Probably looks 10x worse in person.

    '97 Corolla - Help Winter is Coming.

    Check the plugs, the PCV valve, the engine air filter, and I'd replace the Upstream HO2S since chances are, it is stock.

    2008 CE Automatic Transmission

    Describe what you mean by loose. Is there slop in twisting? Looseness if pulling to and pushing away from you? Looseness as in sliding in and out?

    The Video of The Day Thread

    Starting the engine will actually suffocate a flame ... but only when the flame is from the carburetor and not the entire engine ... LOL! What's worse is that he panicked and turned on the fuel pump AFTER THE FIRE!

    Cam Bearing Shells

    My girl has the noise during cold start (and only when it is 55° F or below outside). I guess that one is a starter noise, where-as there is a similar noise but it happens on every cold start-up irrelevant of the temperature, and I hear it gets bad to the point where it rattles constantly when...

    Brake light fuse should be in interior fuse box.

    1999 Corolla - Leak in The Exhuast Manifold Gasket Cause One Cylinder to Misfire?

    Wait ... I misread exhaust for intake ... no. An exhaust leak typically won't cause a misfire.

    2000 Corolla - Oil in Spark Plug Tube

    Dry it off, see if it returns, go from there.

    Either the CV Joints Are Crap or I Am Doing it Wrong

    Hopefully you have better luck this time around. Sucks getting dud parts. Been there, done that.

    Where Can I Order Spark Plugs for 2ZZGE?

    Not sure who will ship it to the Philippines. Maybe Summit Racing or NGK themselves?

    Cam Bearing Shells

    Yeah, take a picture if you can, that would be awesome. Just out of curiosity, why did the cam need to be replaced?

    2010 Corolla - How to Remove a Drum Wheel Stud

    Here is a great video of a hub puller in action. I prefer these ones because they do not require putting pressure on the bearing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhNxBfIprro

    2010 Corolla - How to Remove a Drum Wheel Stud

    Nevermind ... forget that. He was beating the crap out of that hub because he was replacing it anyway (Toyota rust issues are ridiculous for this stuff). If it isn't coming out with a hammer, you have one of two options. 1) Buy or rent a hub puller to remove the hub (which is what he should...
