This seems like a good deal? Any thoughts on swapping the engine: http://m.ebay.com/itm/130932692447?fits=Make%3AToyota%7CModel%3ACorolla

At this point I have no choice but to drive it as is as long as I can or find a good used engine and swap it. I am just not willing to throw any more money or parts at it. Thanks to the both of you for all your help. I have learned quite a bit from the both of you. I will know what to look for...

Ehh :cry:, the cables are only long enough to fit the cylinder it was designed for. The cables come numbered 1,2,3,4 and do not reach any other cylinders so I can't swap them. If you look closely at the pic below you will see each ignition coil is numbered and the wiring attached to it will only...

Mr.Kopoian Sorry I misspoke/misunderstood. Its a 1999 Toyota Corolla with ignition coil no distributor. I clearly don't know what I am talking about so just to be sure please click on links below to see pictures of my engine setup. Let me know what you recommend after verifying my ignition...

Thanks Scott lots of good information here. Can I swap the #3 coil pack with #4 coil pack myself to see if misfires moves from cylinder #3 to #4? Do I just remove the coil pack from cylinder #3 and insert into cylinder #4 and cylinder #4 insert to cylinder #3? Do I also have to switch the wiring...

I have put 800 miles on the car since I added lucas and engine restore. I will do another oil change soon to get that stuff out and will refill with a good 10w30 synthetic.

Yes John I agree. Thanks.

I hear you and believe you have the right to take the position you have expressed. I feel pretty foolish after researching the information you and others have provided. My mechanic thought it would be a good idea to add 1 quart of heavy duty Lucas oil stabilizer (...

Hey Scott I think you will get a kick out of this.Perhaps "For entertainment purposes only" should be added. Watch "Regular Oil vs Synthetic Oil -EricTheCarGuy" on YouTube Regular Oil vs Synthetic Oil -EricTheCarGuy: http://youtu.be/lshd7WR-a6I

I just came back to this post and look what I started. LoL. Well Scott you clearly sound informed and educated on the subject. I want to express my gratitude to you for educating and expanding the knowledge base of this forum. Additionally thank you for providing information back by independent...

Thanks Scott. I went a head and got the Gates micro v at serpentine belt installed and happy with it. Since you have been very helpful so far let me get your expertise on a different matter. my Corolla has almost a hundred fifty thousand miles on it. I just bought the car 3 months back and I...

Thank you very much for the detailed description and information. I appreciate you taking the time to explain throughly. Quick question, what are your thoughts on the gates brand belt? Would you recommend it? I don't believe it's Chinese made. My mechanic would do it for $90 that includes the...

What does the serpentine belt control on a 99 corolla? The serpentine belt in my car has little cracks in it. Is this normal? And how much can I expect to pay for replacement? If going bad does it affect overall performance? As always thank you guys.

I see on the fuelly.com site people are getting 34 to 40 mpg on their 99 corolla and on my 99 corolla I am only getting 26mpg. The car has had a full tune up tire pressure is to spec so am not sure why my mpg is so low. It's a 4 speed automatic with 148k. Are you guys getting about the same...

Today I had the engine running at idle and took the oil cap off and notice a good amount of air rushing out with a little spray of oil. Is this normal on a 99 corolla 148k on engine? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

Wow so much information. I will let it all detonate in my mind for a bit. I cant believe I fell for a "cure all fix all" in a can. I feel like a complete ass****, having said that I always try to consider the source of information and in this case I feel since lot of you are Amsoil dealer which...

Additionally the engines has had an ongoing misfiring issue p303 and p0300. Can the oil stabilizer and engine restore hurt the engine?

just trying to prolong engine life and get better performanc, gas mileage...smoother running engine excetera

I am using 10w 30 on my 99 corolla with 148000 miles. I have added 1 quart of lucas oil stabilizer and 1 can of engine restore and about 3.5 quart of 10w30. Will this comination make the oil too thick? Any issues adding both lucas oil stabilizer and engine restore together?
