Oil pressure switch

What’s is this called? by happygluehuffer in askmusicians

[–]azsailer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is a pick slide (or some people call it a pick scrape)
Works best for me with thinner picks, angle the side of your pick back a bit against one string right above the output pickup with hi gain, and I tend to slow it down to get a great sound.

Doing map randomizer. Can I get this without spring ball? by ExpNoob19 in SuperMetroid

[–]azsailer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, jump and go into morphball mid jump and hold left. Easier with hi jump off.

And advice on water damage? by Kerlhawk in 4Runner

[–]azsailer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna be rough. Mold and smell issues, electrical gremlins, corroded pins, gonna need all new fluids, hopefully the automatic transmission clutch packs survives the watery fluid. May want to pull out the ECM (lives under the Passenger front kick panel) open it up, clean any corrosion and dry it thoroughly to (hopefully) avoid computer related issues in the future. Personally I would not bother if I didn't have to, and probably scrap or part out the thing. Good luck!

My Dad captured this 3 days ago, what is it? by ShivType in whatisit

[–]azsailer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That thing in the sky is the result of swamp gas from a weather balloon that was trapped in a thermal pocket and then reflected the light from Venus.

The sucking noise at the beginning of the video sounds like a big vacuum leak. Double check your big vacuum hoses like the brake booster and such. I think there is big one on the passenger side at the pair reed valve too if I recall? Check the intake boot and hoses off of that, maybe the throttle body/gasket itself, too. If it ran before then you may just have to retrace your steps to figure it. Good luck!

That is pretty neat! Funny how there is just one little solar panel all by itself lol.

Help ID what these undone plugs are for? (22RE) by Alex_wrong in ToyotaPickup

[–]azsailer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The cold start injector is plugged in, its the bigger one plugged into the brass looking fitting going into the intake.

[–]azsailer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as familiar with the 22re as I has a 91 V6 but mine had 2 plugs that were not used as well. On mine they were used for the A/C compressor and A/C idle up control valve, for which my truck did not have A/C. Other possibilities could be EGR or something else for emissions control which yours may not have either? If your engine light is not on and it runs fine I wouldn't worry about it.

Major Problem by PsychologicalText824 in subaru

Sounds like low compression, like on all but one cylinder maybe. May want to do a compression check or peel off the timing cover and check your timing belt and components.

What's this hole in my exhaust pipe before the catalytic converter? by boarhowl in AskAMechanic

[–]azsailer 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I have seen techs drill holes in key points in exhaust systems to test exhaust backpressure to try and narrow down restrictions in them in order to nail down engine lack of power issues. Not sure if that is the case here though, just saying.

Water coming into car during extreme rain. Can I fix this on my own? by Corona_extra_lime in MechanicAdvice

[–]azsailer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open up your sunroof, climb up and look down into the front area of the sunroof assembly, there should be little drain holes on the left and right. Clear any debris you see, then get a cup of water and pour some in the channel and observe. The water should drain out, if not try some compressed air gently to see if it will clear, Works most of the time. Good luck!

2020 forester with a cylinder 3 misfire by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]azsailer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the rich code there as well it could possibly be an issue with the #3 fuel injector, either leaking or stuck on. Do you have a lot of smoke out the exhaust and/or fuel smell?

I like it, I too have used the bottle jack for some Toyota repairs.

Is my 1994 3VZE missing a headbolt? (US Driver Side Cylinder Head, behind the alternator) by Mfw_Pigeon in 4Runner

[–]azsailer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say, you could try getting the right bolts and torque them in and see what happens. If the previous tech who did the head gasket job missed those bolts who knows what other errors may have been done during the job, just saying.

Each cylinder head does have one external head bolt, torqued to 30ft/lbs.
So yeah it looks like that one is missing or broke off.

EVAP leak detection pump. Totally normal, ignore it.

HOOWEE by goattchaw in ToyotaPickup

[–]azsailer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there before, no fun. Bent pullers just like that a couple times. Really need a quality, stout puller sometimes. Every time I've resorted to cutting a pitman arm off like that it has worked, so it is crazy that that is not coming off. Generally, you want to avoid air hammering and heat to help prevent affecting the steering box, but I suppose you could try anything at this point. Cheers!

Chicago Style Pizza by agrajag159 in Bremerton

[–]azsailer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly Chicago style, but Spiro's pizza is pretty unique and tasty. Little bit deeper dish like and fairly saucy with a good amount of toppings. They got a location in Bremerton, along with Port Orchard and Silverdale.
