Don't look at me, LOL!

Old thread, but it sounds like the adjuster wasn't set properly.

Spiders? That's it?

Old thread, but timing will always be BTDC, and you are supposed to remove and plug all vacuum lines at the distributor advance while setting the timing at engine idle speed.

If it isn't too late to get your old shoes out of the trash, take the assembly apart, and check to make sure that everything matches between the old and new shoes, specifically where they perch inside the wheel cylinder pistons.

Use Photobucket for the pictures and drop the link here. Attachments rarely work right (and only work for insanely small pictures that would be hard for us to see). I want to say that a perch is bent or that a shoe was not installed properly (or that you may possibly have gotten the wrong...

Also, dude ... you gotta post the codes before we can do anything ... just telling us that you have a CEL means nothing. Get the DTC EVERY TIME!

I wasn't pleased when I found that out and actually was expected to buy my own scanner.

Bad spark plugs that are missing will put unburned fuel in the catalytic converter. That fuel burns off when it hits the precious metals in there, and tricks the downstream HO2S into thinking that the catalytic converter isn't working right. A bad upstream HO2S can cause the same thing if it...

I've seen video of them digging into trees. Coil springs aren't a joke. And an impact gun? For the love of God...

I'm betting the fluid level in the brake master cylinder was right at the mark that would trigger the light.

Blast from the Past!

Yup. Default is 3, and the dealer can change it to 5 or 7 (I do mostly freeway driving, so 7 is perfect for me).

I would go with Easy-rider Pedal Extender ... since they fabricate them to you and aren't a universal knock-off that could fall off. The first one is specifically designed for Mustang clutch pedals and most likely won't work for ours (since there is no rubber pad to remove). I would say to get...

fishy, I give advice on the safest, most efficient way to do it. I used to lift and support cars from the scissor jack locations, then I had a minivan buckle in all 4 areas while it was up in the air getting an oil change. Needless to say, it was the last time I lifted a car there, and I...

Yup. One thing is to never, EVER, let them know that you want the car.

Nope. Sienna is 114.3 mm x 5, Corolla is 100 mm x 5

Engine flush is a joke ... Coolant flush you can do yourself for cheap (if the coolant looks REALLY bad, otherwise a simple drain and fill is fine), with a garden hose and a kit that hooks up to your heater hose. As far as transmission flush goes, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have them...

I third the upstream O2 sensor. They should be replaced every 60k anyway for maximum fuel efficiency.

Also, fishy, in your top picture, I see an awful lot of bends where you have folded the metal in from jacking in that location, so thank you for proving my point. In addition, the rear jack location has a larger surface area and thus each sheet of metal has less force acting upon it, even with...
