You're a legend! Ive been having issues with my bike and beleive it could be the carburettor and watching your video makes me so much more confident in having a look at it
Do you have a video about installing a whole steering wheel with cruise control from another corolla. I dont have the whole for CC so i think i have to get a whole steering wheel replaced
You failed to lubricate the other (front) edge of the window frame. Although it is a short piece of frame compared to the other (back) side, it still get's dirty and sticky and needs to be lubricated. I'm surprised you missed that.
I bought new sensor from toyota dealer, i got 2013 toyota with over 200k, it still stalls when i start engine shakes, only when i push gas pedal hard it runs normal, still code P101, Any ideas?
Hello there, sorry to hear about this. The P0101 code comes up when the MAF sensor is getting a reading outside of the normal parameter the car was designed with. As the MAF in this application only measures temperature and air flow, the air flow is the only suspect with either too much (hole somewhere) or too little (restriction somewhere). For this, the best case is to follow the air path with a critical eye for detail. start by removing the air filter to ensure it is clean and the air box is not full of debris. Next, remove the articulated tube that goes from the air box to the throttle body/plate, check very closely for cracks or tears as you articulate it back and forth. Use a flashlight to look inside the tube and see if there is any debris. If there are any hoses attached the articulated tube also check them for cracks, tears or other damage. Then, use a flashlight to look at the throttle body/plate to see how dirty it is and if it is dirty, clean it the best you can with electronics cleaner. I can't recollect, but I don't think the car will run well with the articulated tube removed, but if you use a healthy amount of electronics cleaner and a clean rag you should be able to clean it up mostly, but use caution not to stab or get threads into the throttle body/plate. Best of luck!
I have an 03 silver base mustang just ordered new back struts they were blown out big time.this video helped me out big time.thank you very much for making this video. It helped me out and it got right to the point. 👍🙂
Hi, thanks for watching and I appreciate your passion. I try my best to make my videos for younger folks who may have information or financial barriers as I remember soliciting any information I could in a pre-internet world and scraping together any money I could to get my projects done decades ago. Generally I like to use a car side harness if the car may one day be a collector car, the OEM wiring is worryingly short or if I feel like assembling the harness on the bench. Hopefully this video helps demystify simple radio installs for folks who want to give it a shot in their 20 year old Corolla, but it certainly should not be the default instructions for future Pebble Beach concours candidates!
Congratulations, not only do you have functioning brakes lights but also a hearty helping of accomplishment! Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helped. Best wishes.
Hello, sorry I missed this question. The car should be off with the battery disconnected as there is a risk of shorting out the radio's +12V constant power wire while wiring it up. Best wishes and good luck!
DO NOT EVER CUT YOUR FACTORY WIRING HARNESS rookie mistake. they sell adapters for all aftermarket radios at Walmart and at most speaker shops and there not usually more than $17 - $25. The adapters make the color codes match the radio color codes so you can just match colors because the factory colors don’t always match. Only cut the factory wiring harness as a very last resort because it can ruin a car if you do this and make them harder to sell later. If you go to any speaker shop and tell them you cut the factory harness they will freak out bad.

Hello, sorry to hear about this. I gave it some thought and neglected to reply. I can only think of two possibilities, the first one is that the ball end that fits into the tailgate handle may not have engaged fully as I noticed that they can be really tight and my second thought is that the cable routing itself may alter the pulling strength of the cable end, so I hate to suggest it as it sounds silly, but perhaps jiggling the cable or trying an alternate routing may help. Sorry I can't be of more help, but getting an assistant to operate the door while you sit in the back with the access panel off may show the issue as well. Best of luck!
Hello, my apologies as I have not done this before, but I wonder if you could remove the clockspring from the steering column which has the airbag cable sticking out of it. Removing the clockspring disc may cause the airbag light to come on, but I am not sure. Best of luck!
Is that plastic block necessary? My plastic gasket between the rubber pieces of the diaphragm has a hole in it and fuel squirts out of there all the time. I can’t seem to find that plastic block anywhere though, as all these petcock kits only come with the rubber diaphragm. Would you know where to source one for a kz550? And again, is it even necessary?
Hello there, sorry I missed your question here. The plastic block is necessary as the spring and diaphragm both seat into it and the plastic block should have a hole at the bottom to allow the diaphragm to "breathe" as it strokes back and forth. If fuel is dripping out of the hole I would suspect that the diaphragm has a hole or tear in it. If your plastic block has cracked or been lost it is possible to get an OEM replacement from the dealer, but I have seen entire petcock assemblies for sale on Amazon and Ebay, but they are likely somewhat generic. Best wishes and good luck!
Hi. I have 2000 mod corolla. Are the color codes correct on the diagram you attached? Was on the website you presented, cruchfield or something, but I didn't find a decoder there, can you recommend a website where I go the specific color codes on the stereo wires for my car?
Hello, sorry I didn't see this sooner. The cable routing is a bit fussy and it may need to be moved a little to find the sweet spot. I found that my latch worked pretty good right away, but it wasn't perfect, so I jiggled the cable a little and it worked much better. You could try lubing the cable by dripping a few drops cable oil down the inside of the cable jacket if it still binds a little. Best of luck!
Hello, sorry to hear that the time has come to replace the MAF sensor. I have full confidence the Toyota part will work, but not the same confidence with others. Denso is the original manufacturer of the part and the Denso MAF sensor is available from places like Rockauto for a pretty reasonable price and they should be able to deliver fairly quickly. Best of luck!
Great videos! 👍 would you happen to know what the little white clips are called? They're the ones on the light assembly that you pinch together so the assembly unclips from the vehicle.
Hello, thanks for watching! I couldn't find the name of the clips, but if you have a dealer close by, the parts counters has always been good about printing out the exploded assembly diagrams and we work together to determine the parts I'm after. If you don't have access to a local dealer a Google search for a parts diagram may help determine the name. Best wishes!
Please DO NOT CUT THE DAMN CAR HARNESS GO BUY A $5 DOLLAR AFTER MARKET RADIO TO OEM PLUG FOR EVERY CAR DO NOT CUT EVERY PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER WILL CHARGE 2 ARMS AND 2 LEGS TO FIX YOUR MISTAKE!!!! PLEASE BUY HARNESS DO NOT CUT OEM
Hello Jesse, a jack shouldn't be needed as the springs will take the load of the vehicle. Shocks should be able to be stroked in and out without too much effort, but a fresh shock may take a little weight to compress, so it is best to have it lined up as close as possible before removing its holding strap.
Oh, that Corolla is a great first car, excellent choice! Thanks for watching the video and I hope you have many happy journeys with excellent music to accompany you!
