Toyota Paseo

try doing a block test its possible you might have a blown cylinder head gasket

Its not a requirement but you have to ask yourself " How soon do I want to tear this engine down again ". Change it while it is apart and save some headaches later.

"Paseo" is one of Donoso's most superbly crafted stories and probably the one most frequently acclaimed by critics. Here the author employs the techniques of the first-person narration and the embedded narrative as he juxtaposes the perspective of a young boy with that of an adult narrator. Reduced to its core, "Paseo", is the story if an adult as he remembers and tries to comprehend the circumstances that surround the turning point in his childhood: the disappearance of his Aunt Matilde. Before that momentous event but after the death of the boy's mother, his Aunt Matilde and two bachelor uncles had come to live with him and his father so there would be a woman to care for him. Their home life was characterized by physical comforts and reassuring routines, epitomized in the ritualistic billiard game each evening. Although the family acknowledged the existence of the world outside the confines of their "perfect" home, a world evoked by distant foghorns and lights but always perceived through the filter of a window, that "other" world never infringed upon theirs, where the fortuitous and the unexpected had no place. In fact, heaven is imagined as an exact replica of their house (78/212). In the family's carefully delimited world, screened from the outside by windows, walls, and fences (both physically and psychological), misfortunes such as hunger, cold, discomfort, poverty, or weakness were perceived only as "mere errors in a world that out to be-no, had to be-perfect" (76/210); the emphasis is Donoso's). The self-correcting gesture is significant. More important their "perfect" house is imaged in relation to a book: "narrow and vertical as a book slipped in between the thick shapes of the new buildings" (75/208). However, it was a closed book-"that deep house which, like a book, revealed only its narrow spin to the street" (76/209); it never opened itself up to the threat of the exterior, and it hid as much as it revealed, not unlike "the thick [library] door [that] screened the meaning of their voices" (73/205). The perfection of this prelapsarian structure was apparently broken by the appearance of a small white dog. To the boy, the dog heralded the beginning of the disintegration and chaos: first Matilde stopped playing billiards with the brothers, then she forgot the shooting order, later she laughed (perhaps for the first time), and finally she walked the dog each evening. Those "walks," excursions beyond the confines of their neat, ordered, bookish house into the outside world, eventually led to the final, title "Paseo" and Maltilde's "disappearance." Although her disappearance is incomprehensible to the narrator, he does define it as the end of the secure, neatly ordered, ritualistic life he had known up to that point: "I went to bed terrified that this would be the end And I wasn't wrong" (94/230). He was terrified because, as he noted in the preceding sentence, he had realized that his aunt has her whole life before her and was capable of anything. Surely that included turning her back on the established order, opting not to continue caring for the males (narrator, father, and uncles), and leaving them to perpetuate their own structure and order. While there can be no question that they do reinstitute that order, they accomplish it in part by imposing a self-serving blindness and refusing to "see" anything that might threaten it. This blindness and the narrative correcting factor that signals it are apparent throughout the story. For example, although the narrator posits his aunt's disappearance as a major threat to, indeed as the termination of, the status quo, he subsequently negates that concept and assures the reader (or himself), "Life went on in our house as if Aunt Matilde were still living with us" (94/230) his confidence quickly falters, however, and in the next statement he corrects himself by noting that the brothers began to meet regularly behind the closed doors of the library. One of the recurrent elements of the text is this self-correcting tendency that leaves the reader dangling over a void of ignorance paralleling that of the narrator. In fact, the story might be read as the dramatization of order reestablished by means of the act of narration. Nonetheless, Matilde's disappearance is never labeled as such, for it can be encompassed by none of the terms with which the narrator is familiar. In the story's title it is euphemistically designated by the unthreatening term "Paseo," and within the text he simply concedes that she "never came back" (94/230). By not naming the event, the narrator silences it (and blinds himself to it) much as the brothers do, in both cases in order to avoid "the useless terror of having to accept that the streets of a city can swallow a human being, annul it, leave it without life or death, suspended in a dimension more threatening than any dimension with a name" (73-74/206)-threatening precisely because it does not have a name.

Your catalytic converter may need to be replaced. Your CEL may be lit. Get your ECU scanned for trouble codes. The EGR may cause high "HC". This usually stands for hydrocarbons. If your engine has high mileage, burning oil contributes to increased levels of hydrocarbons on the emission test.

I'll assume your talking about the timing belt so here goes. There are 2 timing marks you need to line up. First, before you remove the timing covers, there is a 0 degree mark on the lower cover. Jack up the RF wheel. Set your car on a jack stand. Don't rely on your jack while doing any repair under a car!!! Use the bracket for your stiffener bar or a frame rail. Use an impact wrench with (21mm socket) or 1/2" socket wrench with short extension. Remove the wheel and use it as a seat. For this particular job, it helps. Get a 10mm deep socket and 1/4 or 3/8 socket wrench. Remove the splash shield. There are 2 washer-nuts close to the wheel and 3 bolts near the radiator. Once removed, you should be able to see the crankshaft pulley and the bolt in the center of it. I would recommend using an impact wrench to remove the bolt. If you don't have one, your best bet is to put your car in gear and put a long extension on a 1/2" socket wrench to get it off. You'll need a 19mm socket for the bolt. Before you remove the bolt, look at the lower timing cover. You will see a "0" and a "10" degree mark on the cover. Put your 19mm socket on the bolt and rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the "0" mark is in line with the notch on the crank pulley. To find the notch, look at the edge of the pulley nearest to the timing cover. This is what drives the belt for your water pump and alternator. Once you have the notch lined up, get your 10mm socket and wrench. Now you need to remove the upper timing cover. There 4 bolts that hold it on. Remove those and remove the cover. Now you will see the camshaft pulley. Since you have a 5E-FE, you need to look for the timing mark "5E". Now here is the hard part. Rigth below the 5E-FE mark there is a small hole in the camshaft pulley. If the 5E mark is on top of the pulley, you need to look through the hole. To time the motor, you need to line up a punch mark in the valve cover. To see this mark, shine a light behind the pulley and look through the hole. If the punch mark is lined up with the hole under the 5E mark, your motor is timed properly. If you see the "4E" mark, take your socket wrench and rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees and check again. The 5E mark should be on the top of the pulley. If you need more help, post on my message board.

no,paseo is not a computer....

The fuel filter is located on the firewall, directly in front of the driver seat, sitting right behind the engine. If its still stock, its usually black, and will have a hose at the top and bottom of the filter. Simply disconnect the hoses going to it with a pair of pliers to squeeze the connectors, and twist them upwards a bit to have the hose loosen from it.

You will find the key code on the drivers door lock cylinder. Must remove the whole lock cylinder to read the code. You will find the key code on the drivers door lock cylinder. Must remove the whole lock cylinder to read the code. Go to the dealership and give them the VIN number. They will be able to make a new key right there based on the VIN.

There should be a pull tab at the bottom in the middle of the seats. But most of the corollas dont have fold down seats in the back for some reason.

Your owners manual will tell you what fluid to use. Also look on the dipstick, or call a Toyota dealer. Make sure you do it right. Overfilling an A/T can do serious damage. You check the automatic transmission fluid when the engine is running and preferably warmed up. The "cold" and "hot" listed on the dipstick are to tell you where the fluid level should come to on the dip stick when the transmission fluid is: Cold: You just started the engine and the engine has not been run in the last 3 or more hours. Hot: The engine has been run for 20 minutes or more. Make sure you get the right transmission fluid (check manual or ask auto parts store employee) You need to add any additional transmission fluid to the tranny through the dip stick tube. A funnel with a flexible spout is the best to minimize spilling tranny fluid all over the engine. Overfilling the transmission will cause the seals to start leaking and also possibly ruin the internal parts of the transmission.

Yes, almost all 4 cylinder engines are interfering engines, a friend of mine (mechanic for 35 years) told me anything with a timing belt is interfering, and anything with a chain is not

93 paseo does use R-12.

At the library. If your local library does not have the manuals describing the Paseo on their shelf, tell the librarian what you need. They should be able to locate the library closest to you that has what you are looking for. I use the manuals at my library quite often for work I need done on my 1992 Paseo. The manuals provide expanded views of the parts, schematics of the electrical systems, and many very concise procedures for repairs. They include what you have to remove to get to the parts needing repair and if there is something counter-intuitive that you need to look out for. I was able to make my aging starter (234,000 miles) run again by simply replacing the brushes because the library manuals explained that the brushes in the 92 Paseo starter were designed to be replaced. I will often take a look at the manual before I take my Paseo to the mechanic so I have at least a rough idea what he is going to be doing and how long it should take (yes, the free library manuals often include diagnostic help). One thing though about library auto repair manuals--they will NEVER let you take them home, so take plenty of change with you to feed to the copier.

Where is the fuse panel that contains the radio fuse?

10-30

It's a black box behind the "EFI" on the intake manafold.

When changing fuses it is important to have a diagram to help change the right fuse. The fuse box diagram for this car can be found in the owners manual.

No you do not need to replace any plugs at all when replacing wires.

Could be EGR valve sticking open or dirty at an idling condition or hesitates when accelerating.

P185/60R14

There is a small black box under the hood located by the driver side strut tower. The black box (diagnostic box) is only about one inch by 2 inches. If you open the cover to the box you will see a few rows of electrical connectors and on the underside of the "diagnostic box" cover there should be a sticker with a letter and possibly a number that identifys all of those electrical connectors in the box. Take a paper clip and bend it into a "U" shape. Take the paper clip and connect the electrical connector "T1" to "E1" (look at the sticker under the cover). Its possible they may be labeled slightly different, like "Te" or "Te1" or "E". Get a pen and paper and sit in the driver seat of the car. Turn the ignition key to "run" (thats where the dash lights up and the buzzer for ignition and door being open are beeping. DO NOT START ENGINE at this time. You should see the "Service Engine Soon" light start flashing. If not flashing you need to go reconnect the paperclip again. the number of flashes indicates which code it is and what the fault is. For example if you see "flash, flash"....flash, flash, flash" That is code 23. All of the codes will be 2 digits. You should see the same code flash 3 times before the next code is displayed (there may be only one code or lots of them). Then you need to find out what the code means (what the problem is) by either searching online, buying a repair manual for your car and look up the code or call the auto parts store and ask them. You may want to try clearing the codes as described below and if the light doesn't come back on Yipee it's fixed. If you think you have fixed the fault (made the repair) you can reset (clear out the codes) in the computer by removing EFI 15 amp fuse from fuse panel in the engine compartment for 30 seconds. Use the paperclip and jumper the connectors mentioned above, the turn the key to run (NOT START)and if the computer is cleared of all codes the "Service engine soon" light will just do a "flash,flash,flash,flash,flash,flash" with no pause in between. If you get the "flash, flash....flash, flash, flash" then you need to remove EFI 15 amp fuse for a while longer to clear the codes from the computer. Turn off the key and remove the paper clip, Start up the engine and if the light stays out, you have fixed your problem. If the light comes back on you will need to do the paper clip trick again and see what the code is this time. It maybe the same old code(s) or a new code. Good Luck!!

Nah! 1) Remove the air cleaner and housing. 2) You'll see a cable coming from the transmission housing going to the cluster area. You'll notice that there is a circular looking screw about 3 inches from the tranny housing. Unscrew that. 3) From there, simply pull the cable out. JEEZ! ok, Firstly - Unscrew the gauge assembly on the dash (2 screws above the gauges and it should ease out with the hazard switch - which u just unplug) (- i took my steering wheel off to make it easier to get it out -) on the back of the guages there a black cable which just un clips) Secondly - you will have to pass the speedo cable through the firewall - fun is not the term used - i found it easier to unscrew the lower side of the drivers side dash in order to to this Thirdly - the speedo cable screws into the engine at the back right hand side under the air intake, it is a much larger plug that wat was on the back of the dash --- to put the new speedo cable in - do the same in reverse --- GOODLUCK - AND HAPPY CURSING

Manual says to use SAE 75w-90 or SAE 80w-90 gear oil

You cannot. If the issue is that you can't open the door at all (either b/c it's locked and you can't unlock it, or both the inside and outside door handles are inop) try taking the inside door handle off first and then using a pair of pliers to pull or push on the rod or cable. This may fix your problem or at least help you see what the problem really is.

Then if you can get the door open, there is one screw in the door handle (as you probably know by now) and several on the bottom of the panel. Remove the window crank by pushing in on the panel and looking for the metal retainer clip. Pull out that clip and the handle should slip right off. Take the screw out of the mirror adjuster arm. Release all of the screws, get a plastic putty knife or other hard plastic prying tool, and pull out on the bottom. It should "POP" several times with medium force and become looser. Keep pulling very carefully all the way up both sides until you reach the window sill. At this point you will probably need to pull upwards slightly on the panel. The panel should come right off now. Just check for any bars, wires, cables, or other obstructions as you pull gently. TA-DA!!!

This procedure is fine, but you must also remove the small screw just forward of the arm rest. Then pry off the cushion pad from the arm rest and remove the two large screws which fasten the door panel to the door. Then, TA-DA will happen.
