should only be about 160 bucks...

 

Im thinking about it, when you mean worth my time...what does that mean ?

 

Why do you need to solder wires???

 

Free Beer!!!!!!!

 

ill pay for some beer, i dont kid about beer. a man who kids about beer makes enemies very easily. and i need to solder wires cuz the P.O decided to cut the injector lines to put in some ebay 'performance chip' and then found out he cut the wrong ones, so put it on the IAC sensor. which he just spliced the fuel injector cords, didnt solder them. (hence why theres still a chip with a switch in the glovebox. i dont notice much except that my gas mileage drops from around 19 to 10mpg. why i havent used it at all except to see 'hey whats this do???' lol) i tried to fix them back in february, and seemed to fix it for awhile. id still like to make 100% sure thats the issueand scuba, what do you think your time is worth? some beer? maybe lunch?

 

lol, Id help for free if you can make it victorville, I heven have a garage with a rolling cabinet jam packed with tools.


I dont have the days off, but I do work from home, and after 5pm, its free reign.

In fact, i had a similiar issue on my truck, had to replace ALL the connectors under my hood, and redo the harness... came out ultra sweet, fireproof, and water proof!

You might have found your problem there, solder those leads back up nicely, and see if it solves your problem. While your at it, make sure he didn't pull one of the plugs off the injectors or something dumb. Wait, just thought about it, but pull the spark plugs one at a time and when you get to the plug that doesn't effect anything, you found your cylinder.

 

oh man buddy you know im down to help heck i owe you one from when you helped me but yeah i dont think ill make it there if i even try lol my hg is blown but yeah you know if i were closer man i would in a heart beat!!!! wish i still was in cali lol

 

yeah i know man, thanks
and to everyone, thanks for your advice, on wed in the morning i will do everything suggested here. if i had more than one day off, then i would drive out to victorville, im sure it would make it... lol. but alas i only have one day off... dammit i want my truck back im getting addicted to the expedition! lol. thanks again everyone. and, one question, to solder the injector cables, do i have to remove the upper intake?

 

ya know... temecula/elsinore is about 1/3 the way to victorville from spring valley/la mesa/el cajon.
...

 

yeah, and thats still.. what... 2 hours? lol

 

hah, maybe one hour away.
Im honestly thinking 5 bucks for gas..and im a lightweight...so not much beer..

are we just going to solder some wires together...?

Im guessing you have a soldering iron..or do i need to lift the pops' for the day..?

 

i got a weller soldering gun. i think thats all we need to do... hence why i want someone more experienced than i am in this field.. i SUCK at diagnostics... LOL.

 

I can solder fairly well, my dad used to do it for a living, and he taught me...
So I can do as much as possible to trouble shoot and then do what i can with soldering...
You have my number, just let me know

 

will do thanks

 

will do thanks?
hmmm.. will do work too?


and I was kinda looking forward to a martha stewart party for men.

 

hah, lol member he said he couldnt drive it over 35...
Lol, that would be sweet though, all 3 of us gettin stuff done within 25 feet

 

actually, i had to drive it to 711 this morning, and though its still misfiring, it will keep to the speed limit. and meant 'will do work too'. so i guess if i hgave to ill drive up to elsinore....

 

Dude! If you end up needing professional help, I seriously recommend “The Truck Shop” 8650 Miramar rd, 858-967-2141. in my opinion James really knows what he’s doing on Toyotas and he’s honest. Good luck!
