pasadena_commut replied to the thread Interesting dc/dc issue.
The inverter is capable of providing a lot of current at 12V. I don't recall the exact number, but it was something like 90A. That's...

Sounds like somewhere between 120F and 140F. I don't recall if Techstream can read the temperature on this coolant or not.

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Corolla fuel tank swap! It does work!.
What is the problem with using a Gen 3 Prius tank for this sort of conversion? It will still need all the modifications to fake out...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Interesting dc/dc issue.
Doesn't the inverter scale back and then turn itself off just the same way if the inverter fails? Safety circuitry built into the...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Interesting dc/dc issue.
No codes, really? Fire up techstream (or equivalent) and see what sorts of currents it is handling. There is a small possibility that...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread actuator replacement.
There are no identifying marks on the tubes or the ports on the actuator? Do you have a helper? If one person taps lightly on the...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread actuator replacement.
If the actuator is good and it doesn't work when transplanted into another car that suggests the problem is there. Perhaps the brake...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Engine air filter.
You would think, right? But last time I looked it was actually cheaper at a dealer than any place local where I could drop in and buy...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread 12 v Battery Drain.
That was just an example for the current state of that battery. Another way to think about this is, if the battery new had N Ah, and 4...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread 12 v Battery Drain.
The testers were both the type that use frequency tests on the battery to estimate its properties. They don't actually load the battery...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread 12 v Battery Drain.
The battery I recently replaced had around 10 Ah of capacity left (measured at close to 25C). The electronic battery testers (mine and...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread 12 v Battery Drain.
Does it though? It can tell you that the battery can deliver 40A (or whatever the load is set to, 40A would be plenty for modeling a...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread Gen 2 Prius hatch back will not open.
It is in a very unhelpful location. You need to remove the hatch "floor" and the big tray that sits under it to access it. This is a...

pasadena_commut replied to the thread 12 v Battery Drain.
The load testers referred to in the preceding three posts are for CCA or some other measure of peak current (in amps), they do not...
