The fuel empty indicator in a Toyota Paseo might not be working for a couple of different reasons. First, the fuse for the fuel gauge might be blown, in which case you just need to replace it. It is also possible that the float inside the gas tank is faulty and needs servicing.
Simply done and in a matter of minutes once you get the grasp.
open the hood, and behind each headlight assembly there is a black plasit/rubber covered piece there. Simply twist it counter clockwise and itll come lose. Then its common since.
BUT REMEMBER, try to never touch the actual glass to the bulb itself, the oil on your fingers can eventually cause premature outage of the bulb. So try to not touch it, if you do, simply wipe it off with a smooth cloth.
The reservoir is located on the drivers side inside wheel well. You'll have to pull back plastic casing and there are 3 or 4 bolts holding it on. disconnect wires and tube then remove bolts replace reservoir then reconnect wires and tube. It's hard reaching top bolt but it can be done. I replaced mine after accident on drivers side. also got reservoir from a online sight alot cheaper then auto stores. dvr2195@aol.com
Check the temp sensor. The control is not turning on the fan when engine temp requires it, so the most common cause is the sensor.
Sits on the firewall on the driver side right behind the engine. Its about midway down, but easily visible. It will have 2 hoses connected to it, one on top and one on the bottom.
It will usually have some things in the way, making it a little difficult to get the hands and tools to it.
My '93 Paseo recent refused to start. Battery was good, starter turns, but won't start. Found sparkplugs had no spark; finally traced it to AM2 fuse, which blew. Replaced it with new fuse, it also blew when I tried to start the car. AM2 fuse is for Ignition -- googling this problem showed the common cause was a condenser ("radio frequency interference condenser" as per advance auto) inside the distributor shorts out and blows this fuse. Sure enough, when I took the condenser out the Paseo started!
I've decided not to replace the condenser, as it's only to prevent static on the radio (there's none with it out anyway). The only thing I would've done different was I should've just cut the brown wire coming from the condenser, and left the condenser screwed into the distributor. Because I took the condenser out, there is now a small hole to the side of the distributor where water can come in. I might just seal it with epoxy, cause the condenser is a pain to screw back in.
Amazing how such a small part can prevent your car from starting (and more significantly, if it happens while you're driving, it could cause an accident as your car could abruptly lose all power).
the best deal you can get is if you buy the radiator on eBay it will cost you between $50 -$60 and then take it to a technician to change it , also it is very easy to replace it , you can do it yourself

4" in the front doors and 6.5" in the rear parcel tray. You're best off getting spacers made and replacing the front speakers with 6" - they fit, just make sure they aren't too deep.
(Consistant 32-35 mpg.This is not trip milage,it is to work and back) CORRECT but I have regularly reached over 40mpg on freeway driving!
The fluid is probably old and an improvement can often be seen after complete replacement with fresh fluid. Also there is an adjustment on the pedal assy under the dash. These often wear and get sloppy (in the bush mainly) and a little extra travel here can improve the situation. Be sure to support the fork/pin connection to the pedal with a shifter to undo the lock 10mm nut on the master cylinder shaft.
When you have loosened this lock nut you can take up some of the slack by rotating the shaft. Don't tighten it too much, some slack is necessary about 4-6mm. Replacing the bushes which hinge the pedal as well as the cleave pin? will also tighten the slop.
The brake system is important to keep maintained. A diagram for the brake lines in a 1992 Paseo can be found in the cars manual for maintenance.
The filler plug is on the front of the transaxel housing. It's the largest bolt there.
access it from under the car. It's right behind the elbow in the lower radiator hose. You'll need an adjustable wrench or a 30mm socket.
Be sure not to over-tighten it when you're putting it back into the transaxel housing.
It's actually fairly simple on this vehicle. The trim plate around the radio simply snaps off. Remove the plug on the back of the defroster button. There are four bolts holding the metal basket in place that contains the radio. (That's the only word I could come up with...) Once you remove the basket, the radio is held in by four screws. You will need a new wiring harness, but you can buy that at wal-mart. You do not need any kind of mounting bracket, though. The original basket is perfect size for DIN size radio. As far as wiring the radio and the harness adapter together, the colors usually match up, but refer to the documentation with the harness and with the stereo. It's not rocket science. 8 wires in that harness cluster are for the four speakers, and the rest are Power, Ground, dimmer, remote turn on, and power antenna. That's probably about it. I would crimp those little fittings on there to connect them to the harness, or you could use wire nuts, or simply electrical tape, but whatever you use, just make sure you do it well so you don't have to do it over again later. Hope this helps.

Simple answer, yes. Simply move the flywheel, clutch disk, and pressure plate from the old engine to the new one.
