    Poorly Implemented Safety Features in Today's Smarter Vehicles

    Slightly different item. I was watching a mechanic video and he was doing an oil change on a Prius. He warned the viewers that the key should be taken out of range of the vehicle. He has had Prius engines automatically restart while the vehicle was in the air and after he had drained the oil.

    Need replacement driveshaft

    Go to a driveshaft specialist. 20 years ago when the u-joint on my XR4Ti got notchy I had a driveshaft shop weld new joints onto the shaft. Shaft was similar to the LS. GUIBO (rubber isolator) near the transmission, shaft, u-joint with staked bearing caps, center bearing, slip shaft and...

    Balljoint Failure

    I installed a new knuckle (can't remember the brand). The lower bolt would not hold torque. Every six months or so the steering wheel would start getting off center and I'd have to retorque the lower bolt. I finally replaced the nut and used locktite. A month or so later the steering wheel...

    Alternator questions

    While either will work but the manual does use the one way pulley design due to the quick change in RPM when shifting. Using the automatic alternator will increase vibration and shorten belt life. The local electrical shop swapped out the automatic pulley for the manual pulley when I replaced...

    Windshield Washer Problem

    Joegr - on mine (2000 V6 MT) the low fluid level light stopped working awhile ago. Since then the washer works but the wipers do not come on when the washer is used. I turn the wipers on manually after having the washer spray on the windshield. So its possible for the washers to work without...

    Brake Fluid Flush

    Brake Fluid DOT 4 is better when new, DOT 3 MAY BE better when old (its wet boiling point drops less than DOT 4). Either is fine for normal use.

    No crank

    Just a quick question. I have a no crank problem with my 2000 LS V6 MT. I get nothing, no clicks no dimming lights. The PATS is functioning correctly, slow flash before inserting the key, stays on for 3-4 seconds when I try cranking. I swapped out the relay and got same result. I checked...

    Cooling issue - not the norm trust me :)

    Does your hydraulic fan increase speed when the AC is turned on? If not your solenoid control valve is stuck. Replace it, or you can try running some sea-foam transmission cleaner (Hydra Trans Tune) in the fan hydraulic system to see if that allows the fan to run on high. Or you can convert...

    Another Good Bye

    Right now my LS has a check engine light (secondary air) on and is out of inspection. I know the fix for the light. Once I have the car legal I will place it up for sale. It has made several trips to VT (500 miles round trip) this winter, the last being April 1st. The sale will be my 2000...

    My full-on heating problem (Advice needed)

    Before replacing the DCCV, I would disconnect the electric plug from the DCCV, replace the fuse and see if it blows with the car running. While you likely have a bad DCCV you could have a short in the wiring going to the DVVC that is blowing the fuse.
