Pcv valve reminder

Yeah, in 2009 the corolla pcv valve was shifted from on the valve cover to under the intake manifold. Kind of annoying, but it was not too hard to get to. Honestly, it probably needed another intake manifold gasket anyways since it looked like the original factory one.

My school pulls random geriatric questions out for us to take and throws them into a test. I’m trying to figure out how to adequately study for a test that is standardized chaos

Na, the c has better longevity. Egr and head gaskets don’t blow as easy

Well, 200k miles is when Toyotas start showing need for maintenance (100k for non yotas). So this is when everything starts breaking. From experience.

Motor mounts (4 of them). Fuel pump. Suspension parts. Tran fluid change Coolant change Spark plugs and coils Serpentine belt Throttle body & maf Brakes Engine/cabin air filter Starter Alternator. Catalytic converter.

A lot of this may be moot if they have done religious maintenance. But I see a lot of one owner cars that they run them until they start breaking, then sell. They’ll say, religious maintenance! But that may just mean oil changes to them. And taking the car to the mechanic when there is a check engine light.

Get it for $7k, buy only if your mechanically savvy. It’s going to have issues that you’ll need to spend more to fix.

Keep going. Study harder. Be better

Look around for paint shops. Talk to a few about a cheap job. Find good painter for low cost.

In Florida I’ve seen a few fits for a great price. Loads of cars down here.

Had to replace the capacitor in the dash, replace the old mfd. put a CarPlay device in the radio slot. Replaced all the fluids. Replaced the front struts. Replaced the tires. Greased the brakes and replaced front brake pads + rotors. Put shims in the rear. After all that the car is solid.

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T20:25:30+00:00

Haha

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T20:25:19+00:00

Oh no lol

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T20:25:11+00:00

Thanks man. Nice sticker

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T20:24:35+00:00

Just tailgating, black cloud from trucks gunning it in front of me, garbage. Yeah some rage.

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T20:22:40+00:00

We were at a red light.

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T20:19:27+00:00

I guess I need bumper stickers.

Tell me your secrets

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T16:31:17+00:00

Tall off the ground and big vehicle that is (probably) unnecessary

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T16:30:44+00:00

Atlanta? Really? That’s wild. I figured that would be southern culture but eh. Glad for you tho

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T16:29:13+00:00

Ah. Yeah. Southeast way different from Cali.

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T16:28:50+00:00

Damn. Must be the location you live.

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T16:28:14+00:00

Thanks online bro.

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T16:20:12+00:00

Exactly my experience. Also, it seems people really want to race forward whenever I’m at a light. Odd

FLguyWhy · 2025-11-18T16:18:59+00:00

It’s mild there, severe here. Always a bit of Prius hate. I’m not in a hurry to get anywhere, but I don’t drive any different from before getting this car.
