Re: California vs Not California 3AC exhaust systems
The federal emissions model exhaust comes in several parts: the flanged extention pipe that connects to the cat, the muffler, and a tailpipe. Cheapest I found for that was close to 200$... Should be seeing the proper (albeit cut) pipe on my front porch in a day or two. It'll be nice to have a quiet ...

Re: California vs Not California 3AC exhaust systems
That is exactly the answer I was hoping to get. I had pulled an exhaust off a junker '83 Tercel and guess what: the exhaust pipe was about 3" too short and the cat had an air intake on it.
I'll call Mac Monday and have 'em ship me the system made for the california model. The only downside is that ...

California vs Not California 3AC exhaust systems
I need to replace the exhaust system on my '88 SR5. The hood sticker says it is the california emissions model and that takes a different system from the cat back than the non-california model... Does anyone know what those differences are? I've got both setups available for a little over $100 ...

Re: Click sound when starting (no ignition)
Sounds like you need to load test your battery... the fact that the "jumper" car idle speed drops when you connect your car via jumper cables tells me that you're drawing a lot of power from the good battery to make up for your not good battery. Get it tested.

Re: Has anyone replaced a Blower Fan?
I did the blower fan on my '88 years ago. As I recall the motor I got from NAPA didn't fit, but the brushes did so I ended up taking the brushes from the new motor and stuffing them into the old one. Been working great so far... and it is an easy job to do with just a screwdriver IIRC.
