Toyota Cressida

This could also be caused by a clogged PCV system which is common on these cars especially the 7mge. Pull the oil fill cap with the engine running. If you have a lot of pressure comming out you probably have what is called "blowby". If you have much blowby it will push oil out of anyplace that doesn't have a positive seal, that could include the distributor shaft. If you have that much blowby, the rings are worn and the only option is to rebuild or replace the engnine.

I need to repair the gear shift cable in side a 2000 toyota corolla. How do you get in side the gear shift box to repair the cable end?

Code 14 means "no IGF signal to the ECM for 4 consecutive IGT signals" which means there is a communication problem between the ECM and distributor...

No, its fuel injected engine

I had this problem with my ford escort wagon, i needed to bring it in to have it replaced. If i remember correctly there are springs and magnets inside that get wore out, and tend to make it skip, or hum. This could also lead to what i call Speedometer Slip, which is when the speedometer drifts up and down, not giving an accurate reading. e.g. I would be doing roughly 30mph, and it would say i was doing 70mph, and it would constantly change. I would look at prices to get a replacement cluster, if this is out of your price range, maybe you can google some local repair shops, or junkyards that could potentially have some spares laying around. -Eddie

This is the service manual for 2004 model, but the center console should be the same. Had this problem for a long time, and this finally helped me to remove it. Finding the parts for it is another story though...

1. loosen lugnuts on wheel

2. jack car up.

3. loosen lugnuts the rest of the way and remove the wheel

4. remove two screws from brake caliper (they're located on the inside of the caliper, pointing toward the center of the car)

5. remove caliper (don't disconnect brake line). Use a wire to hang it from the strut or rest it on the strut. Do not let it hang by the brake line.

5. The brake pads are now exposed. Remove (gently!) and watch for the little metal pieces they're attached to. Don't lose them if they come off the car. You'll need them.

Your brake pads are now out. Compare the thickness of the old one to the new one. The old one is much thinner. Because of this, the piston which pushes the pads onto the rotors has to extend further out of the caliper.

6. Use a clamp to force the piston back into the caliper or else the new pads won't fit. I use a piece of wood between clamp and piston to even out the force and to protect the piston from damage. You might want to use something softer. YMMV.

7. Insert new brake pads, remembering to put back any metal clips that fell out during step 4.

8. Put caliper back on over brake pads. If it doesn't fit, you need to re-clamp the piston further into the caliper. See step 5.

9. Screw the two screws back into the caliper.

10. Replace wheel.

11. Replace lugnuts. Tighten as much as you can. Hold the wheel still.

12. Lower car from jack.

13. Tighten lugnuts more.

14. Relax, congratulate yourself, and have a beer.

I'd also check the coil.

The 1989 Toyota Cressida is equipped with one oxygen sensor located in the exhaust system. This sensor helps monitor the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases to optimize fuel efficiency and emissions. It's important to note that some modifications or different engine configurations might alter this setup, but the standard configuration includes just one oxygen sensor.

To change the timing belt on a 1986 Toyota Corolla, start by disconnecting the battery and removing the engine cover. Next, align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft gears to ensure proper timing. Remove the old timing belt by loosening the tensioner and sliding off the belt. Install the new timing belt, ensuring it's aligned with the timing marks, then reassemble everything and reconnect the battery. Always consult a repair manual for specific torque specifications and detailed steps.

To remove the alternator from a 1986 Toyota Cressida, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock. Then, remove the drive belt by loosening the tensioner and sliding the belt off the alternator pulley. Next, disconnect the electrical connections from the alternator and remove the mounting bolts securing it in place. Finally, pull the alternator out of the engine bay.

To reset the alarm on a Toyota Cressida, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine. Then, press the alarm reset button, usually located on the dashboard or near the steering column, or unlock the driver's door with the key. If the alarm is still active, disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the system before reconnecting it. After resetting, try starting the car again.
