  1. well, check engine light with a 32 code is still blinking at me but now my mileage has gone from 31 to 33!!!! i would think if the 02 sensor was bad the car would run rich, right? shall i not worry about it then or find someone with the electrical test stuff to test it? also, have noticed a little bit of pinging...am running 87 octance....just the regular stuff...
  2. well, finally found the time(no work, sent home early )....to check this brake light problem, and yep, found on the right brake light bulb that the big element only was coming on with the lights on..also found out that there is an aftermarket bulb holder with wiring there...hmm, switch wires maybe? swapped red with green and voila!! everything be fine..thanx again to all that posted heres the deal..right rear tailight brake light is brighter with the lights on then the left one...when you press the brake, the left ones gets brighter like it should and the right one stays the same...all lights in the rear are on, nothing is burned out including the 3rd stoplight...i thought one light would get brighter if another one was burned out but not this time... thoughts??
  3. okay, since it looks like i wont be scoring any pug alloys any time soon, i guess i will use my 13" tires to replace the bald ones i am currently running, so, recommendations please..... 1. set of toyo zradial 705 snow radials, all four fully studded...300 miles on them 2. set of toyo observe snow tires, no studs...about 75% tread left... what should i use until i can score some pugs? these will probably be run of course without the benefit of snow
  4. was this at the pap in lynnwood today? what car? i was there this morning
  5. off road maybe but we get a fair amount of rain here(well, we use to anyway ), and studs suck in the rain.....
  6. was wondering if the gl's are prewired for the options that the gl10's have..specifically the trip computer...would like to have that on my gl and i can get the trip computer from a gl10 but dont know if the wiring is there to plug into and if all the other geegaws are there also...for instance, the outside temp sensor, where is that located on the gl10? alan
  7. was wondering if you can destud studded tires? got a set of four, brand new toyo's for FREEEE!! thanx craigslist! and all four have studs...and was curious if i could do this or have it done at a reasonable cost.. thanx
  8. dont have any kind of electrical test stuff at all...no warranty as far as i know..
  9. no, not an old code...light came on during the trip back from tacoma...got home and plug the green connectors together, light went off, unplugged them, light came back on with a 32 code...
  10. its an 89 spi wgn....and i just replaced the o2 sensor a couple of months ago with a bosch so it would pass emissions....car is getting good mileage, around 31 mpg so its not running rich yet has some stumbling and hesitation though at accleration and going up hills...see previous post about this problem
  11. well, since i cant afford a new o2 sensor and havent found any in the yards yet and i dont have the electrical test equipment to test the one that is apparently bad, i will have to let this problem go for awhile...is there any harm in this?
  12. hmm, guess i could do that couldnt i 1989 spi wgn, 5sp d/r 205k
  13. hi all driving home today from the tacoma pap, filled up with gas and about halfway back the check engine light came on...pulled over and checked the code and it was a 32...now, i just changed the o2 sensor about two months ago in order to pass emissions...could it be bad again already? its a bosch o2...car runs fine...around 27-32 mpg...a little bit of hesitation or stumble when accelerating or going up hills and a little bit of a rough idle...new plugs/wires/rotor/cap...fuel filter....any ideas????
