General Maintenance and some minor "mods" - Toyota Yaris Forums

I haven't had the engine stall or trip a CEL since I fixed it last week. I guess I may have not connected the MAF correctly when I clipped with wire connectors back together. The coolant has seemed to stabilize as it is right in between the low and full in the overflow reservoir when cold. If I open my rad cap you can see coolant in there as well.

I used the DIY posted in the DIY section on this forum. I checked the catch yesterday and there is about half a CC of oil in there after about 1000km of driving. I cleaned the PCV valve and did an oil change about a week before installing the oil catch.

On a side note I have seemed to notice a spike in better fuel mileage since I open up my air box. It could also be due to my oil change, however I change my oil every 8000km and it is barely dirty when I do change it and I've always run synthetic.
