  • Now that the 1987 Toyota Time Machine MR2 Pocket Rocket STARTS AND RUNS perfectly, the owner wants the CRUISE CONTROL to work for the 6-hour highway drive back home.
    He's picking up the car in 2 HOURS, so time is of the essence!
    Can we get the Cruise Control to work by the deadline?
    Unfortunately the Tiny Toyota has MORE SURPRISES up its sleeve...
    IVAN'S PICO WAVEFORMS:

    Enjoy!
    Oh, **HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!!**

    The customer was very fortunate to have you restore his car. The discount was not bonus for him! Your lovely wife is a huge bonus for you! I love your videos not because I am very interested in car repair but because I love to observe master craftsmanship at the highest level. Thank you so much.🙏

    After watching Ivan's last two car repair marathons, this tells me if you buy an older car that has sit for a long time outdoors and has regular visits from rodents, you'd better be prepaired to inspect/repair every single electrical and mechanical system on the entire vehicle. Well done Ivan!

    It's easy to say it's impractical to keep a car like this running, but it gets a lot harder to say when you're out driving it in a "spirited fashion"! Full respect to the customer for driving this car like it's meant to, and it sounds like they have the right attitude towards the "surprises" that inevitably pop up driving a nearly 40 year old car.

    I’ve seen those rubber pads disintegrate on a 99 Pathfinder for both the brake light switch and the cruise control cancel switch. Dorman sells a kit with the rubber grommets, otherwise they’re available for a lot more at the dealer.

    • @hcox1111
      @hcox1111 7 месяцев назад +3

      I would have glued a steel washer onto the rubber grommet and that would have solved the problem for good for about a nickel.

    • @catnip4885
      @catnip4885 7 месяцев назад

      Alternatively, swap for the pad for the other one on the clutch depressed switch as this had a larger diameter and is probably not as worn.

    I have enjoyed your series of 2023 holiday specials. Been watching your videos for most of 2023 and I really like your logical, methodical (and often tenacious) approach to troubleshooting. Our '07 Tundra started skipping over 2nd gear last month, and the transmission shop we took it to simply changed the fluid & filter and said it was working fine...despite the list of DTC's and solenoid resistance values I provided. Another shop and a dealership both wanted to replace the whole transmission. Inspired by your videos, I upgraded from a decade-old OBDII code reader to a bidirectional scan tool to confirm my preliminary diagnosis. I loaded my parts canon with a new shift solenoid and the mighty Tundra is back in action. Thank you, Ivan and I look forward to more of your "Adventures in Troubleshooting" in the coming year! ;-)

    This is definitely another fun one to watch Ivan, my humble respect goes out to you. As a side note, with those OBD1 Toyota systems (TCCS) there is usually a means of checking fuel trim stat based on a terminal in the same dlc connector. Its been dacades now since i last looked at one of those but i think the terminal is 'VF or VF1) and it is a voltage value that swings above and below a specific value where 2.5v represents stichiometric or normal, above 2.5v represents lean and below 2.5v represents rich. The full signal voltage representing extreme rich through to extreme lean ranges from 0v to 5v respectively. Its a primitive but kool little system. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL,.... from the caribbean 🇯🇲

This MR2 i have one in my drive way which belongs to my son and your diagnosis is so helpful in finding out things that I may need to check if my son has the time in the summer.

    I know 2024 will be another interesting year of diagnoses and repairs! Glad you are willing to work on the older stuff. I like older stuff, but with one exception, all the older stuff I've worked on was carbureted. Funny story: I helped a friend with a 1996 Dodge Dakota. The codes from the blinking "check engine" light indicated a problem with the throttle position sensor, but my friend was too frugal to buy one (I almost bought one for him, and should have). Somehow, he discovered that it functioned better with the sensor unplugged, and drove it that way for several years!

    Those early modules are probably simple enough where you could turn that into a EE tech school project. Might need someone to help with PID control. Heck, I wouldn't even mind trying it to learn some new stuff. I bet you could make a new cruise control from an Arduino and some other stuff around it.

    I really like the first gen fuel injected stuff. I think it is very educational since you end up getting into how the different modules and sensors actually work, less of just a black box input/output kind of thing. Really appreciate you taking on these challenges. I brought a 89 GMC S-15 with an Iron Duke with TBI back from the grave. I learned so much with that engine. When I got it it had two stuck valves, vacuum leaks, etc. But I had it purring when I sold it to someone so I could work on a different vehicle.
