Hello there, sorry to hear about this. The P0101 code comes up when the MAF sensor is getting a reading outside of the normal parameter the car was designed with. As the MAF in this application only measures temperature and air flow, the air flow is the only suspect with either too much (hole somewhere) or too little (restriction somewhere). For this, the best case is to follow the air path with a critical eye for detail. start by removing the air filter to ensure it is clean and the air box is not full of debris. Next, remove the articulated tube that goes from the air box to the throttle body/plate, check very closely for cracks or tears as you articulate it back and forth. Use a flashlight to look inside the tube and see if there is any debris. If there are any hoses attached the articulated tube also check them for cracks, tears or other damage. Then, use a flashlight to look at the throttle body/plate to see how dirty it is and if it is dirty, clean it the best you can with electronics cleaner. I can't recollect, but I don't think the car will run well with the articulated tube removed, but if you use a healthy amount of electronics cleaner and a clean rag you should be able to clean it up mostly, but use caution not to stab or get threads into the throttle body/plate. Best of luck!

@@andrew_ball Will try it out , thank you!

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

Thanks, I'm glad it helped!

Thanks for watching, hopefully it helps!

Hi, thanks for watching and I appreciate your passion. I try my best to make my videos for younger folks who may have information or financial barriers as I remember soliciting any information I could in a pre-internet world and scraping together any money I could to get my projects done decades ago. Generally I like to use a car side harness if the car may one day be a collector car, the OEM wiring is worryingly short or if I feel like assembling the harness on the bench. Hopefully this video helps demystify simple radio installs for folks who want to give it a shot in their 20 year old Corolla, but it certainly should not be the default instructions for future Pebble Beach concours candidates!

Yikes, that is an actual problem. Hopefully you have a local auto wrecker that can sell you a functioning used one.

My pleasure, thank you for watching!

Hello, the 98 Corolla is designed for a single DIN (1-DIN) radio and the KMM-BT270U looks like it is a single DIN and should fit fine. Best wishes!

Congratulations, not only do you have functioning brakes lights but also a hearty helping of accomplishment! Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helped. Best wishes.

Fantastic, I'm so glad it helped! Wishing you awesome music in both traffic and fun road trips!

Hello, sorry I missed this question. The car should be off with the battery disconnected as there is a risk of shorting out the radio's +12V constant power wire while wiring it up. Best wishes and good luck!

Hello, sorry to hear about this. I gave it some thought and neglected to reply. I can only think of two possibilities, the first one is that the ball end that fits into the tailgate handle may not have engaged fully as I noticed that they can be really tight and my second thought is that the cable routing itself may alter the pulling strength of the cable end, so I hate to suggest it as it sounds silly, but perhaps jiggling the cable or trying an alternate routing may help. Sorry I can't be of more help, but getting an assistant to operate the door while you sit in the back with the access panel off may show the issue as well. Best of luck!

I guess it started halfway. Oopps

You had me scratching my head as I worried I missed some important steps! Best wishes!@@davidlafranchise4782

Hello, my apologies as I have not done this before, but I wonder if you could remove the clockspring from the steering column which has the airbag cable sticking out of it. Removing the clockspring disc may cause the airbag light to come on, but I am not sure. Best of luck!

You are right about that! I have always been a cleaning hands with Comet and gasoline kinda guy, but that will likely catch up with me...

Thanks, you are too kind!

That is fantastic! Best wishes and thanks for watching.

Hello there, sorry I missed your question here. The plastic block is necessary as the spring and diaphragm both seat into it and the plastic block should have a hole at the bottom to allow the diaphragm to "breathe" as it strokes back and forth. If fuel is dripping out of the hole I would suspect that the diaphragm has a hole or tear in it. If your plastic block has cracked or been lost it is possible to get an OEM replacement from the dealer, but I have seen entire petcock assemblies for sale on Amazon and Ebay, but they are likely somewhat generic. Best wishes and good luck!

I'm happy it helped! I'm surprised Toyota made a bulb replacement this tricky, but I guess they have their reasons.

My pleasure, thanks for watching! Hello Brazil from Amazon to Rio!

I live in the Pantanal. come and meet one day.

Hi, you are correct, it seemed that the stock rear shocks were very basic with no way to adjust them.

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

Hi, sorry I missed your question here. The mangled bracket seemed to work out okay with no long term issues. Thanks for watching!

I get 550km a tank on my 1998 with 415k km on it

Hello, sorry I didn't see this sooner. The cable routing is a bit fussy and it may need to be moved a little to find the sweet spot. I found that my latch worked pretty good right away, but it wasn't perfect, so I jiggled the cable a little and it worked much better. You could try lubing the cable by dripping a few drops cable oil down the inside of the cable jacket if it still binds a little. Best of luck!

Con todo gusto!

I'm happy it helps, thanks for watching!

That is fantastic, good show! Thank you for watching and I'm glad it worked out well. Best wishes!

Hello, sorry to hear that the time has come to replace the MAF sensor. I have full confidence the Toyota part will work, but not the same confidence with others. Denso is the original manufacturer of the part and the Denso MAF sensor is available from places like Rockauto for a pretty reasonable price and they should be able to deliver fairly quickly. Best of luck!

Hello, thanks for watching! I couldn't find the name of the clips, but if you have a dealer close by, the parts counters has always been good about printing out the exploded assembly diagrams and we work together to determine the parts I'm after. If you don't have access to a local dealer a Google search for a parts diagram may help determine the name. Best wishes!

@Andrew Ball thanks so much for the info, I'll check more into it (:

You are very welcome, thanks for watching and happy trails!

My pleasure, I know you have dozens of classic Corolla radio installation videos to choose from and I'm delighted you chose mine!

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

Hello Jesse, a jack shouldn't be needed as the springs will take the load of the vehicle. Shocks should be able to be stroked in and out without too much effort, but a fresh shock may take a little weight to compress, so it is best to have it lined up as close as possible before removing its holding strap.

Oh, that Corolla is a great first car, excellent choice! Thanks for watching the video and I hope you have many happy journeys with excellent music to accompany you!
