The project is a 1993 jeep cherokee xj 2dr 5spd. I picked it up for 200 bucks and plan on fixing it and selling for a profit. There isn't much wrong with it outside of the rust and door hinges. As i entered and made my way to the jeep section of the yard the the honda toyota nissan suv and light truck section was on the way. Behold six, count them six new to me yotas on the yard. With most of them untouched i inspected each one and all were 3vze's some beat up some taken care of and others looked new. There was one in particular that had new front tie rods and adjustment sleeves so to work i went and had them in my box after a few minutes of wrenching. Shortly after that i went to the jeep section and picked up a few parts for the heap xj. I was at this yard a few days earlier and managed to find an 85 supra afm not knowing it wouldn't work for my 22re without swapping the guts. So i made my way over to the toyota cars section and went over the 85 that was still there to see if anything was usable but no not so much. As i worked around the section of old car parts looking for a cressada or celica there it was an 82 supra! The afm was still there and in the box it went. I made my way to the front to check out and pay for my goodies and the total was at 27 dollars! Supra afm, tie rods and sleeves, jeep gas cap and other jeep interior parts, 27 dollars! I left quickly as though i was robbing a bank. On the way home i stopped by the local advance auto parts store to pick up parts to install my new afm. When i got home it took a matter one hour to clean adapt and install the supra afm. I took it for a test drive and confirmed what most have stated on the forum. It has a better throttle response and a little more growl on the intake. It might have a little more horse power but i doubt anything huge. Am i happy with the outcome?, yes! Would i have spent more than i did to get the supra afm knowing what i know now?, yes but not much more, and keep in mind they only charged me 16 dollars for the afm. It's not a huge improvement but enough to merit 30 or 40 bucks. I just got lucky i guess. ]]> mightymouse http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/mightymouse/517-junkyard-score.html http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/white_goodman/516-1987-toyoto-pickup-charge-brake-light-stay.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:47:19 GMT Both lights stay on and my battery dies every couple of days, the alt is new and so is the battery, what should i do?

A good car if you were willing to work on one of the most complicated engines out there. But I had no idea what I was doing with that vehicle.

I had plans to move back to my hometown of Fresno, when that pontiac, which had taken many s along the way, took a rather large, $1200 dollar the day I was supposed to move. So. Here I am. No car. No money. No Job. I need to move still.

I sold the pontiac for 700 dollars....I feel I let it go very cheap. But whatever. I got it out of my hair.

That was the day I acquired my father-in-laws 1988 Toyota 4x4. 22RE. It took a day to figure out just how we were going to tow it out of the place it had been parked in, and after some frustration it was speedily pulled out, whipped around a corner, and let free to roll down the driveway to where it sits now. I still had that 700 dollars in my pocket and I have to say...it was burning a hole.

I spent about 300 dollars getting all the tune up stuff I needed. Spark Plugs, Spark Wires, Rotor, Cap, Socket wrench, spark plug socket, coveralls, a battery and a Haynes manual. My saving grace by the way.

I had no idea what a rotor even WAS at this point in time. Nor did I realize taking the spark plugs out was no big deal.

All that stuff replaced later, I cranked the engine but it wouldn't start. it tried. Oh how it tried but it could never get going. So a friend of mine sprayed some starter fluid in there and it started just like that! Before it died a second later.

The fuel pump needs to be replaced, he said. So I went to disconnect all the hoses from the fuel pump bracket, and I flippin broke one! :mad2: The Main Fuel Line no less!

So that puts me where I'm at now. Fuel tank dropped, new bracket and pump installed, And one stuck piece of hose that won't get the hell off my truck so I can move on. I believe I'm going to be replacing the hardline running from bracket, to fuel filter. It looks easy enough, but with my luck so far...I'll probably break something else, so wish me luck, yeah?

I'd say all in all, not bad for someone who literally did not know what, or where a distributor cap was when he started out. ]]> A_CavanaughWebb http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/a_cavanaughwebb/515-i-guess-i-ll-make-half-assed-build-blog.html http://www.yotatech.com/blogs/vital22re/514-so-i-ve-got-3-3-4-swaps-under-my-belt-now.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:23:27 GMT yep, i finish and have been enjoying my swap in my 92 pickup.
