Hey guys I'm thinking about getting new front brakes for my car. Which brake pads do you guys recommend? I was thinking about getting these...

Scott, The car is running great! It now has been two days and no misfires! I again checked today with my scan tool app and guess what? No DTC pending! I don't believe it. Could it have been the spark plugs all along? It sure seems that way, ever since I installed the factory recommend dual...

I agree. However these particular spark plugs have the dual ground electrode configuration. The NGK website warns against gapping multi-ground plugs. Since they are the OEM spark plugs for my car they were pre gapped at factory. I did give them a good visual inspection and they checked out fine...

Hey Scott to answer your question. I just checked pending codes using my obd2 scan tool app. No pending codes are stored. I will give it a couple of days before I admit defeat to the elusive P0303.

Scott, As per your request please see below image of the spark plugs I recently removed. After review please let me what you think. Thanks! http://oi59.tinypic.com/2d91mi9.jpg

Guys, Check this out. I found a sticker on the side of my engine that reads. "Use Twin Ground Electrodes Plugs" There is even a illustration that has a big X over the picture of a traditional plug. Interesting...did you guys know about this? I am glad I swapped the spark plugs with the one...

Ugg..too late I have already installed them. I bought these since they are what the corolla came with from factory. I thought it would be best to stick to that. I saved the old ones they look to be in good condition. If my car doesnt like these I will swap with old one. Thanks, Shawn

Scott, I went ahead and purchased the: http://m.advanceautoparts.com/mt/shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/ngk-nickel-spark-plug-bkr5ekb-11-3967/19650155-P?un_jtt_v_fullReviews=true These are the ones that came factory installed. These look very different than the ones I have now. This spark plug...

Scott, The spark plugs that are in there now are the NGK BKR5EGP. Here is what I don't understand. On the NGK website they list these spark plugs to be pre gapped @ 0.044. http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/part_finder/car_truck_suv/results.asp?engineid=31268 However when I checked the gabs for...

Scott I believe they are NGK. Do you know the model or part number for the correct spark plugs recommend for my 1999 Corolla CE?

Thanks Scott. Tomorrow during day light I will remove the spark plug again and take a picture so you can review. How awesome would it be if this was the issue! I am not getting excited just hopeful. :D

As most you know I have been relentlessly trying to troubleshoot a P0303 (cylinder #3 misfire). Today I removed the spark plug from cylinder #3 and noticed the mental ring was stuck to the thread and wasn't flush with spark plug like the others (see image below). I was able to loosen the mental...

I am curious when you clear a check engine light (CEL) by using a scan tool is it equivalent to when you clear the code by disconnecting the battery? I believe when you clear the code by disconnecting the battery the PCM/ECM will need to re-learn and store into adaptive memory your engines...

Yes Scott, these has been most helpful. Thanks!

Thanks Scott, these videos are informative and educational. I am learning quite a bit here and its exciting!

Thanks Donabed. After I posted this question I did a little more research and was lucky enough to stumble on a video disscusing this very topic and the kicker the video explaination is demostrated on a Toyota Corolla same make and model year as mine! Here it is in case anyone else is looking for...

Knhormon16, Were you able to get to the bottom of this?

Hello All, Does anyone know what the resistance should be for a ignition wire on a 99 corolla? I would like to check each of the four ignition wire with an ohmmeter. If you happen to know could you please advise. Thank you. Shawn

Thanks John. I did just that. I replaced the old one even though I could hear a little rattle when I shook the valve. I took a picture of the old PCV valve see first image below. To me it looked a little clogged with heavy oil residue. Additionally the rubber grommet broke off when I was...

I am thinking about changing the PCV valve. From what I see it sits on top of the engine close to driver side. I dont believe I need a tool to remove. It looks to me if I disconnect the hose it should pop right out? This is an inexpensive maintenance item and I have no idea if it was ever...
