Camry high rise spoiler
it seems like every few years someone tries to find one of these, but has anyone owned or even seen the high spoiler for the 02-06 camry? I'd love to try and hunt one down, but at this point its looking like an empty trail. -

24 inch Toyota light bar
I was talking to our local Toyota spare parts manager about a Toyota light bar wanting to know some of the specifications. He said they didn’t have any available - these are available for a number of Toyotas But they have never managed to be able to identify any details on the light bar and have nerves been able to get any further information from head office. He said mine wasn’t the first enquiry but they have never had any complaints about them. You would think that this would come with the bar but apparently not so. Has anyone had one fitted and what was their thoughts. -

Throwing a P0047 OBD Code
Today I had a crack at diagnosis, I still have a permanent P0047 code and running in limp mode. I pulled the bigger plug off the turbo vane control stepper motor (3wire closest to camera), and it threw another code (P2564), when I placed it back again that fault code disappeared as expected. I then removed the smaller plug from the same unit (2wire further from camera), and there is no change at all... No extra fault codes and the same code remains so this is where my focus is right now. Logically I can go through the following in my mind; Boost ECU behind the glove box poked, vane operation jammed up, faulty stepper motor unit, or no power to it via the 2wire plug (didn't have a multimeter tonight to check). Questions; Does this stepper unit have a fuse and where is it, have I not considered anything, what would be your next step if you were me? -

Has anyone had issues re-installing intake camshaft 5SFE
G'day Herb, I'll look at the manual this morning when I get a chance - I don't recall seeing any tolerances listed but I just looked where I needed to. I have considered a bent camshaft and at the time of its removal, I was kind of thinking the procedure could bend it. The install procedure seems off to the removal. But as I have said, it was all done correctly, so I technically it should be fine. The engineers who designed it know better - right? (a little bit of sarcasm). Oh and I forgot to mention that it was running and seemed to be fine. I believe the head gasket was original and the engine looked almost untouched. Thanks Darryl -

Has anyone had issues re-installing intake camshaft 5SFE
Hi Darryl, I understand your frustration, it took me 15 months to get my MGB running properly, as one of the main jets was too big. Back to your problem, get some plastigauge, and measure your bearing clearances. Available from Repco. Herb Another, unpleasant, thought is that either your cam is bent and / or the head is warped. -

Has anyone had issues re-installing intake camshaft 5SFE
G'day Herb, Thanks for the suggestion. I wish I could say I haven't thought of that yet. Unfortunately (for me), the bearing caps were the first thing I checked. They are marked I1 thru to I4 with a little arrow to the front of the engine from the factory, and I actually checked this before they were removed originally. It saves a bit of marking etc. and can't be mixed up easily. Also the cams can't be confused as the intake camshaft is the only one that accepts a pulley on these engines. All the bearing caps and surfaces of the cam, that runs in them, look to be in very good condition - no scores or marks. Each time the caps have been torqued (with assembly lube), and found to be tight, the removal sequence in the manual was observed and then each subsequent re-torque, the tightening sequence was followed. I am truly at a loss as it came out of the head reasonably easily. The manual mentions that the clearance tolerances are very fine. I can't put my hands on a set of feeler gauges at the moment, but wouldn't mind betting the thrust portion of the cam at the end bearing block is around 50 to a 100 thousandths of an inch. I have performed the removal/installation ritual around 7 times myself now and it gets monotonous real quick. The last time before I posted, I followed the lead of a guy on Youtube ( who positioned the knockpin at around 0 to 5 degrees ATDC of cam angle, instead of the service manual stated 80 to 115 degrees BTDC of cam angle), still no luck but the camshaft is in a better position for being neutral. I have tried it as the manual and now have tried winging it but it is disturbingly tight each time, and I'm experienced enough to not force it to turn. This is starting to do my head in, as I can't see what is the issue. Sorry for the rant. I really do appreciate any help. Thanks Darryl -

Aircon problem need help
I got a pink slip done the other day and they said it might be some memory lose when it sits for awhile. When it does start up its works like nothing wrong with it. It only stops working on start up when it sits for a while. -

Aircon problem need help
Hi Reece, no I have never had an issue with my Aurion AC but from what i have read it could be a slight leak in the AC system. It can build up enough pressure over time to work then may leak to the point it wont. I would get a good AC man to run a leak test on it to make sure that isn't the issue other than that maybe a faulty relay? it is worth checking into. Let us know how you get on mate. KAA- 1
