Will try to answer a few questions. Disclaimer - I am not a 1zz Guru LOL :D Hello people, I've been looking all through the forums and still have a few questions that I'd like to get a more definitive answer to. I read that the manual trd ecu will work fine on an auto matrix. I also read that the vi...

Didn't get a chance to pull the part # last night, but guessing it's 170 or 180 degree. Will confirm tonight.

ken99287 wrote:I see a thermostat amongst all the stuff. Is it the trd 160Â°?

Hi Ken, that is a base 1zz factory thermostat. Don't know off hand if it's 160 degree or not. Will see if I can pull a part number and cross reference it when I get home this evening.

How are you supposed to fit a washing machine in there?!?!? Pulley is on... road test in 1 hour (getting a wash). Took less than an hour to change, more like 25 minutes. First start up and a few blips of the throttle revealed what three lightweight pulleys will do, almost instant throttle response....

That thing quiet inside?

Bet that's a nice change. (can't wait til it's my turn)

Thanks. yes, it's pretty quiet. Some reviews claim the exhaust noise a bit much/unrefined at WOT. To me that's a good thing

DiveNut

I'm sort of in that mode - but for different reasons. Bought our '09 Vibe to replace an '03 because the deal was too good to pass up. Really would like something a bit bigger and quieter - like a Rav4, CRV, Mazda CX5. What did you buy? We don't drive that much so mpg is not a deal breaker. I know w...

DiveNut

Hey Fellow Genvibers, After 9 years of flawless service, I finally had to let the Vibe go. She was a great car that never once broke down or failed us, but as the kids have grown, she's just a bit too small for our needs. If we had space I'd keep her until my daughters are old enough to drive, but w...

Too bad you couldn't afford to "park it" or at least hang on to it until the girls are old enough to drive :? This way they'd have a dependable SAFE car to commute in! Good luck with whatever you end up doing and keep visiting us here regularly :) Tell me about it.If I had the room I'd do...

Hi Folks, Looks like I will be selling/trading the Vibe in for a new car by the end of the year. Thinking about pulling & selling some of the add-on items next month if there is any interest. If not, I'll leave her as is. Here's what I am considering: 1. Injen CAI w/2 Cones Filters. Fits 2003-20...

Here's a few Tim aka.houseofbugs, took of my Vibe at a local meet a few years back.

Need to do one for the Ole Vibe, but here's a couple of the Duster.

The first time we fired her up....

After some engine work...

DiveNut

Couldn't ask for a more perfect day. You all have fun and drive safe. There's still an outside shot I may run down with the Duster if my wife can leave work a bit early to cover the soccer game. If so, I'll be the old guy in the obnoxious yellow Duster.

Take care folks,
Pat

DiveNut

Not looking good for me.

My wife's working and the girls have a late soccer game. May try to run down there solo with the Duster. Will track you all down if I can swing it.

Pat

DiveNut

Check the heat shield.

Pat

DiveNut

I went with the Injen CAI... While both types flow (and sound) better than the stock boxes, CAI gives the added benefit of cooler air = bit more power. You really can't go wrong with either.

Pat

DiveNut

Gutting the CAT is what is causing the CEL. Guessing it will continue to re-appear until the CAT is replaced. Some have had success "fooling" the sensors (search will give specifics). I opted to replace the cat rather than screwing around with the sensors etc.

Pat

The Morris show's right off RT47 right? Heard good things about it. If the date works for me, I'd be up for it. Only 35-40 miles from my place so me and the kids would probably take my Duster and have my wife follow me in the Vibe. Let's see.... about 3 gallons round trip Hi-Octane for the Vibe, and...

I have never used the stuff. A well maintained motor really doesn't need that type of product IMO. But like most products, I am sure other folks may swear by it.

I installed the Tru Cool piece in my 2004 Vibe, the kit is very complete...piece of cake to install.

I suggest you not use the plasti...

DiveNut

Loose heat shield?

DiveNut

Just a thought, but sounds like you may not be getting spark. Plug a plug wire off, and see if she's sparking. Also, is it throwing a CEL? If so it may help us narrow it down for you.

Hang in there, you'll sort it out.
