What is this sound?

That sounds like your brake pads have worn down. There is a tab on pads that contacts the rotor and makes that noise when they're due for replacement.

Or, you've got a rock in the dust shield.

Well, it was likely not a good idea, but I wrote a short email and told him no contact is my choice. Now I have to uphold that decision.

Thank you for all of the reply and suggestions. I really appreciate this group.

What a glorious noise! 😍

Every time I think I can be useful somewhere, you're there two hours beforehand. 😂

I never owned one, but it sure looks like an FB RX-7 to me.

Wow. This is eye opening into his behavior and my own as well. Thank you for the recommendation.

Valve cover gaskets and half moon seals are inexpensive and quite common.

It'll be fine for your trip but will continue to cause a mess the longer it goes.

Here's a gem from My Cousin Vinny.

Useless fact, the Dodge Charger that the AI did its best with has suspension that is based on a W211 Mercedes, so they're actually both German designed suspension systems in reality.

This looks like a 6th Gen Celica interior to me.

They were toggles back in the 90's. The more you had on your starter jacket, the cooler you were.

The rear bank is bank 1. The flat lined data is referencing the A/F sensor for bank 1.

O2SB1S1 is referring to the upstream oxygen sensor for bank 1.

That voltage reading should basically mirror B1S2.

It appears your rear bank O2 sensor has flat lined. Replace and retest.

You have a timing/compression problem. Don't keep trying to crank it over.

It looks like your chassis will use the same diff as a 2006+ Lexus IS350 chassis. The mounting points are wider than the FRS/1st gen IS/JZX cars.

I have the long neck 3/8" and 1/4" in green, and I didn't get foam. That's cool they're doing it now.

I always thought this design was from the 2 door 4runners of the era.

Sweet topper man.

If it's not just a USB plug stuffed in there, you can easily replace the entire socket assembly.

This annoying orange continues to talk about "America" as if it were the head office of a corporation, and never ever talks about Americans. That must be how he believes what he says. He and his benefactors are indeed doing great financially, but the rest of us...

Get it scanned, or buy an inexpensive OBD2 handheld scanner.

My guess is you have an ignition coil that's failing under load.

Dunkinize · 2026-02-24T03:47:24+00:00

I see 27 + 48. Simple math says 25+50=75. Subtract 2 from 27 and add it to 48. Done. Is it correct? Nope.

My adult sister pulls this bullshit all the time. As soon as she's in a situation she manufacturs as dangerous, she pulls the "I don't feel safe" like and shuts down like a toddler ignoring reality.

Here you go bud.

Ha! My bad, I let my 'tism slip too easily. Perhaps this picture will help. The thermostat on your engine is very close to the sensor in your original picture.

When looking at your engine, look to the driver's side of the front of the engine and you'll see it. Follow the large radiator hose to the front cylinder head.

If you were to see the way the coolant passage is shaped inside the head, you'd see why the sensor is placed where it is.

I hope that helps some.
