No it wasn't at all. It was a reference in general, as many people here have thrown up their hands regarding the orange peel issue and quit and that bothers me. No hatchet was ever involved. :thumbsup: Just because something is common doesn't in any way make it, "okay". I don't give a flying...

Shawn - If your cousin is unable to help you swap the ignition coils, you have no choice but to take it to a professional for diagnosis and repair. Firestone auto centers offer a credit card you can apply for that will help you finance the diagnosis and repair of your Corolla. The card has no...

Shawn - One more thing I forgot to mention is that when you swap the ignition coils, you will need to unplug the electric connector to each coil and they are made from plastic, which after 15 years is almost certainly going to be very brittle and likely to snap. So be very, very cautious when...

That's what I thought. We have some folks that are saying that orange peel in these cars is, "normal", and nothing to complain about.

Did you know that there are sounds in space? Fascinating. :thumbsup: NASA Space Sounds

Welcome to the Corolla Forum! :thumbsup::clap::):thumbup::thumbup1::balloon: :rockon: Lowering a vehicle lowers its center of gravity, which reduces body sway in turns, which improves handling. :thumbsup: Yes, coil springs can be cut using a cutting torch and done properly. No, the car will...

In all the years I've been driving and all the vehicles I have driven, I have never once had this radio static problem happen when the rear window defroster is turned on. Something is wrong and it's not acceptable to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for a brand new car and have a problem...

Try that going uphill though. The engine needs to have a large load on it for the pinging/detonation noise to occur. On a straight and level road, that might not be enough load to cause the pinging/detonation even punching the gas. Try a tank of Premium fuel and see if the pinging noise goes...

Shawn, I have to say, that labor rate is pretty darned steep. Maybe that is the going rate a dealership charges in your area. In my area it's about $80 - $90 per hour. If you have equipment that will allow you to diagnose misfires and which cylinder they are occurring in and you can get your...

Welcome to the Corolla Forum! :thumbsup::clap::):thumbup::thumbup1::balloon: :rockon: I've kept my car pretty much stock. I've made some improvements for fuel economy, which include AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, AMSOIL synthetic transmission fluid, AMSOIL P.i. fuel additive, NGK Iridium spark...

Drive your car until it's almost empty, then add an entire bottle of P.i. followed by refilling the gas tank to full again. Retreat every 4,000 miles to keep the combustion chambers, valves and fuel injector tips clean and operating at peak efficiency. I sent you a P.M. with pricing and how I...
