You need the advance curves to campare to measurement you have taken with your timing light. As I have expalined the dizzy position sets the idle timing, revs advanced the centifugal timing and vacuum deals with load conditions. Do you have a make and part number for this dizzy and have you spoken with Toyota. Regards Peter

You bet. Not only can you find your destination but they give you ample warning of the 'Greed sCamera' locations that your not going to know about. Avoid just one invoice from the 'Greed sCamera Pratnership' and it's paid for itself.

When inspecting my ABS system, I found the probable cause of the ABS light on and trac warning light flashing to be a cracked reluctor wheel on the left front. It will spin loose on the axle thus setting off the warning. When the vehicle is stopped and off and started again, the lights will not come on until I get up to about 15 mph at which point, the reluctor wheel begins to slip thus setting off the alarm. The brakes operate normally but if an icy road should turn up and I need the ABS system to function properly, I will probably be in trouble.. I can't seem to find a new reluctor wheel as Ford evidently doesn't manufacture them any longer. My best choice seems to be to replace the entire half axle as a new axle comes with a new reluctor wheel. Any one else ever have this problem? Read more
I am in the USA but the recall should apply any where. I am going to call my ford dealer about it today. Thank you for the information.
my xenons have been flickering recently so I swapped the bulbs and the same side is still flickering so I bought a new ballast.
Replaced the ballast and it didn't work. I put the old ballast back and now the xenon doesn't work at all. I did try the new ballast on the other side (which works fine) and the it didn't work and xenon still working with the old ballast.... Read more
