Toyota Tercel

Ok, on the pass side, bottom of carb you should see a hole or plug inserted into hole just above the egr valve. If plugged, drill it out to get access to idle air mixture screw. With car off start by turning in all the way, then back out 3 1/4 turns. start car and adjust back/forth till you get the highest idle. Then set idle speed screw (check under hood label)...repeat the entire process again. HOWEVER, if you've done nothing to the vehicle and the idle has gone south, I would pull the EGR valve off first. I'll bet it's jam packed full of carbon deposits. Clean it, re-install and check idle before messing with carb. If you have a hand vacumme (for bleeding brakes), apply vacumme to the egr after cleaning it. If vehicle doesn't die, the EGR is bad. Good luck...

I'm thinking that anything that is polarity sensitive might have been damaged, including the engine control unit. The voltage regulator and alternator diodes may have been blown.

Mounted on top and inside the fuel tank.

First if u you can get engine to run long enough, get a spray bottle with water and apply light mist around coils and wires. At night time you should see small electrical sparks around area if there is bad part, also see if engine stalls or gets worse, if not, shut off engine and check wiring harness connections. If that doesn't help, remove coils in top on engine, one coil supplies spark for 2 adjacent cylinders, check for cracks in coils, bad wires or loose connectors, maybe even breaks in spark plug wires. Check for water or rust down on spark plug holes. Likely your just over due for changing the spark plugs, always use new plugs from your Toyota dealer. I that doesn't cure problem, try putting some fuel line antifreeze in next time you fuel up, also try a different supplier. Can also check air filter to see if its plugged. also can replace fuel filter, basic maintence goes a long way. Not scare you but by now if the problem isn't cured there may be an injector or internal engine problem, bring it to your favoite mechanic to check it out...

a Toyota tercel has 4 motor mounts and 2 for the transmission theses motor mounts make your car unstable and they are easily broken

the fan is under the glovebox. if you look under there you'll see a circular black plastic base with 3 tabs that the screws go through to secure it to the heater assy. it has a plug in it. remove the plug and put a test light between the 2 wires. turn the key to the on position(engine not running), and turn the fan on. the light should come on in all 3 or 4 fan positions. if it does remove the fan by taking out the 3 screws and replace it. if the light wont come on in any position, you probably have a blown heater fuse or a bad switch. if the light only comes on in the high position(in this case the blower would also have worked on high i suspect) the blower resistor is bad. its a small plate(1 1/2"x2 1/2") on the heater near the blower held in with 2 screws. just remove the screws and replace it to restore the lower blower settings.

Remove Back seat to gain access to access hole. From there it should all be pretty simple to remove the pump from the tank.
Remove wires from pump remove screws that retain pump. Reverse process to complete after inserting new pump.

there is no gasket, remove the pan by taking out the bolts and prying it off the bottom of the block(it may bend, just straighten it on a 2x4 with a hammer), clean the mating surfaces of ALL sealant, put a 1/8" bead of black rtv all the way around the pan (toward the inside of each bolt hole and where there are no holes centered on the surface) wipe oil off block and carefully reinstall without disturbing the rtv.

tire pressure varies by type, but it is always written on the sidewall of the tire.

try to find out which oxygen sensor it is i believe it has 4 2 on each side. if they are going out it will defitley trigger a check engine light and cause a missfire

you have to buy a special socket for it its way easier. and disconnect the cable usually has clips.

and unscrew the sensor and put new one in its very easy

There is a float. If you're inside the cockpit facing the back seat it's on your left. It's mounted to the fuel pump mount. I had this same problem with my '96 Tercel when I installed a Supra fuel pump. It WAS in fact "sticking". I pulled the assembly out again and made sure the "wire stick" that holds the float wasn't bent, then, i "lubed" it with some good old WD-40 and reinstalled. Turned the car on and BAM works like new. You must be very carefull not to bend the wire holding the float in place because it doesn't get a whole lot of clearance inside the tank and can easily get caught on a wall.

do not do this yourself if you dont have special tools it is too dangerous and aggravating i do everything myself but not this

The fuel pump on a 1983 Toyota Tercel is located inside the fuel tank. It sucks fuel from the tank and pushed to the engine.

Look at the bottom of the engine try to follow the + battery cable

I have a Suzuki Alto Works; I also have the Japanese handbook, it says for all types of F6A its 5-30W as long as the temp isn't below -20DegC the 6V takes 2.9L and the DOHC (12V) takes 3.0L. It doesn't specify what to do if your below -20?!!?!?, put thinner stuff in lol!

hope this helps.

change the head gasket the oil pan and head gasket and check the fan fuse i had the same problem this helped everything.

Light housing twists from inside of trunk for access of bulbs.Toyo joe

Toyota part number 08826-00100 is FIPG which stands for form in place gasket. It's basically fancy caulking type stuff that's used to seal metal components together such as the oil pan to the motor.

Could be in need of a tune up.

Hello, I have a 96 Toyota Tercel that has a starter that is not working. I am having a difficult time finding any answers about the top bolt which holds the starter on the engine. I got every bolt off except for that mysterious top bolt. I have never seen anything quite this difficult before. I will try to answer when I find the solution.

My steering wheel shakes what could this mean?

try getting your car re-aligned.

Where are the timing marks on a 1992 Toyota Paseo 16 efi 1.5 liter engine?

well first of all you locate athe thermostat housing it should be at the end of the top radiator hose on the engine the housing usually is held on by two bolts. remove those bots they should be a 13 or 14 mm socket or wrench remove the housing and expose the thermostat remove the old one and replace it with the new one remember to put it in the same way you took it out. then u clean the hosuing where the old gasket sat get that clean and the space where it sits on the intake manifold after you get that all clean there cant be any old gasket on the housing and intake surfaces finaly you put the gasket in place and bold back down or if you don't have a gasket high temp silicone can be used as a substitute get that all tightened down and you should be ready to go if you have any questions email me at dirtdigg69@yahoo.com i would be more than happy to give more answers

ECU received signal from crankshaft position sensor and deliver asignal to ecu then change the signal to coil then tranfers to spark plug

The capacity for a 1995 Tercel automatic transmission is 2.6 liters. The fluid type recommended is Dexron II or IID oil.
