In trunk the felt below the speakers is removable by a couple of friction buttons. Take them out and then unscrew the speakers and disconnect the wires.

Look in the owners manual. Probably about 5 quarts with filter change. Put four in and check dip stick after running the engine.Ask a dealer or a parts house.

Assuming you're in the U.S. (other countries may have different attachment schemes) face the plate. Notice there are two bolts or screws at the top holding the plate to the car. Unscrew the bolts. Remove the plate. Reverse procedure to attach new plate. Done.

Removing the battery would pretty much do the trick without damage to the car.

There are about half-a-dozen Solara models for that year. Some have four-cylinder engines, some are six cylinder. Some have manual transmissions while others are automatic. They all get different EPA mileage numbers. Those numbers range from a high of 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway for the 4 cylinder manual transmission car to 17 mpg city, 24 mpg for the six-cylinder automatic transmission convertible.

If you're looking for numbers for a different model they're all posted at fueleconomy.gov.

While not specific to your car, most are the same. Just pull up on the front of the seat. Catches will be released on each side then you can pull forward and the entire seat can be removed. No nuts, no bolts, no fuss. The backrest is usually different and may involve removing some bolts. When in doubt, you can purchase a Haynes or Clymer manual for your car (about $25 but worth it) or download the entire factory service manual from Toyota (about $10 and a super bargain).

Recall information is always available on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.

For the Y2k Solara there have been two recalls, both for exterior lighting issues. Both were instituted in 2006 so should have been taken care of long ago. If you're not sure, visit your Toyota dealer. The VIN number can be entered into the shop computer and all work done on the car (by a Toyota dealer) will be listed.

Just press the Trac Control switch on your dash. It toggles traction control on/off. The location of the switch is shown in your owner's manual.

The "best tire" for any driver depends a lot on that driver. What are you looking for, very long life in the tire or great traction? Do you need an all weather tire or a quiet running tire? What's your budget? You could mount some super bargain tires and get down the road just fine or you could spend $150 each for a performance tire.

Suggestion: Go to tirerack.com and enter the information they request (you'll be asked some of the questions above). That site will help you zero in on the correct tire for your needs. With those choices (and prices) in hand you can shop locally for the same tires. Remember, Tirerack prices don't include mounting/balancing so it's unlikely a local shop will match the price.

Can't help you with the color but take a look inside the fuse box cover. You'll find a diagram showing the location and amperage of each fuse along with its purpose.

Check your owner's manual. The Iridium tipped plugs used in most late model engines don't need changing for 100 thousand miles. That's a good thing since (on the V-6 anyway) the rear plugs are a little tough to reach.

If yours is the V-6 here's something to consider. The cam drive belt is scheduled for a change at 90 thousand miles. Since so many items are removed for that service anyway it makes sense to change the plugs and water pump at that point.

Most of the time it is caused by a hole in the heater core, do you smell a sweet smell? The sweet smell would be the antifreeze.

I am not entirely sure. However i recommend using the computers at a store that sells battery or looking it up in your owners manual. I do know however that the battery on my 2001 has 700 cold cranking amps and it is what is recommended. I could find the exact model number and size of that battery later.

I'd suggest reposting your question with more detail. It's difficult to determine whether your engine has seized due to lack of oil, whether your alarm system has locked out the starter, something in between or none of the above. Maybe you can't get the hood open?

this is actually a very simple task. remove the bolts that hold the terminals on. slide them off and clean them with a wire brush. remove the nut that holds the metal bar that holds the battery in place. replace the battery. replace the nut, tighten it. replace the terminals and tighten them.

The 1999 Toyota does not have rear struts. The automobile has rear shocks. Remove the retaining bolts from each end of the shock. Reverse the process to install the new shock.

When it's dirty.

The replacement schedule listed in the owner's manual mandates replacement every 30,000 miles and only visual checks every 5000 miles or six months whichever comes first. Replacement can vary greatly though depending on driving conditions. In dusty environments, replacement might be necessary far sooner than 30,000 miles.

The replacement time is the same for your cabin air filter. Replacement instructions for that are in your owner's manual.

That light is indicating a fault in the airbag system. Check the code the computer is trying to send you (borrow an ODB II code reader from a local auto supply store) then make the necessary repair. Until the system is fixed the light will stay on and the airbag system will be inoperative, a potentially deadly condition.

Engines rarely "blow out" these days but they can, and do, wear out. At what mileage that happens depends almost entirely on you, the owner. If you follow the maintenance schedule recommended by Toyota it isn't uncommon to see engines last 200,000 miles and more. Consider if you have the V6 in your Solara the first spark plug change isn't even scheduled until 100,000 miles. So, change the oil and filters regularly, follow the schedule for timing belt replacement if your engine requires one and relax. Your engine is going to last a long long time. Cheers,
