(Welcome back Baker smile )




Team Toyota +1. 220k miles and only thing to "go wrong" with my Tacoma is that the aluminum heads warp with heat and start to not seat with the Exhaust Manifold, causing leaks. ...that, and I need my starter contacts cleaned.


That said, I LOVE my "new" car. American muscle +1. It just never gets old stomping the pedal and hearing the roar... smile 400+ horses can't be wrong.


Aunty: wanna race? smile

If you switched the ICMs and then had a miss fire on #5 AND #2 then I guess you have two problems. A bad ICM and a burnt valve. If it were just the ICM you shouldn't have had the miss fire on #2 when they were swapped. A compression test will let you know if it's a valve.

Before i would spend any more dough. do a cylinder leak down. you want to make sure you have less then say 10 % leakage. also at the same time if you have more then 10 % you can figure out what is going on by listening for where it is going. also what about a bad injector ? i agree you may have more then one problem. just do not make the mistake and spend a bunch of money on needless parts if the valves or rings are junk.v i would think you could have it diagnosed for about 100 bucks at the dealer. it may save you money in the long run by not buying needless parts.

"Little things." Compare the little things breaking to major things on domestics like intake gaskets (GM 5.3), spark plug threads (Ford 5.4, google spark plug blowout), steering & front brakes (Dodge), cab welds (Dodge), transmissions (Ford plus the rest), front suspension (F-series), electrical gremlins (GM 5.3).
For the record, the one domestic I've owned, an F-150, has been a good truck, minus the ECU shitting the bed and being fixed under warranty. The three Toyotas I've had have been rock solid.
As for the Audi, it's a European car. Expect mucho bucks to get it fixed.

Is it even a "foreign car" anymore?

Toyota spokesman Xavier Dominicis said the company’s cars consistently receive high marks for quality. The automaker employs 36,600 Americans, he said, and about 60 percent of Toyota vehicles sold in the United States were manufactured here.

Aunty,

If you gonna add some boost to the stang, I would suggest a Kenne Bell blowzilla 2.2l. I had one my 03 Cobra, I replaced it with the stock Eaton. Alot better. Or you could Just throw a pair of garret GT28 or 35r Turbos and your stang would be insanely fast.

I am going to do a compression test and see what happens from there.

BLADES!!! BLADES!!! BLADES!!!

I found this on another site. I am soooooo, sooooooo, sorry honey. frown


"Just got my car towed back to my house from Chris's shop. The diagnoses is not good. We tested the ignition system and everything is good there. We then decided to do the compression test. This did not turn out so well. 3 of the 6 cylinders are running 175 for compression. 2 of them were around 155-160 and then cylinder number 3 (the one that was having the most misfires) had a big fat 0. Thats right, a 0. We looked into it further and concluded that I indeed have a blown head gasket and also have fried the piston rings. Woopty Freaken Do."




"Many things can lead to a blown head gasket but water injection coming on a few PSI to early is not going to be one of them unless the extra boost leads to a already weak stock headgasket blowing.

And it appears from what I have found The Audi and VW have a weak stock headgasket prone to Premature Head Gasket Failure. If your going to replace it I would go with a Felpro set. Engine out is always easier than trying to do this stuff with it in. If it was just the headgasket I would leave it in. Your misfires were probably coming from coolant leaking into the combustion chamber. You really won't know if the piston rings are bad until the heads are off. "

At least one of My ICMs are bad due to the misfire jumping from #2 to #5 when switched. I will do a compression test tomorrow evenging. Hopefully everything reads about the same. If I get a ZERO in #2 I will be pissed to say the least.

The old ratings game..

some manufacturers tend to "slighty exaggerate" the ratings to impress those that are easily impressed by numbers. wink

Some manufacturers don't. you figure out which is which and who is who. rofl


I'll put my exaggerated numbers up against those Toyotas, ANYDAY. rofl

Here's some numbers, two Toyotas, 300,000 miles, $55 for a water temperature sensor, and that's all besides routine maintenance. Well that and the fact that Toyota was nice enough to replace my engine at 150,000 miles on a head gasket recall even though it didn't need it. I don't think you'll find another company that will do that for you, or maybe I'm just lucky...
