Toyota Tercel

From what I've gathered googleing and talking to co-workers, (im about to try this afternoon to replace mine). Follow the hoses from the radiator, one will go to the water pump, the other will go to the engine/thermostat. Once the thermostat is located, there is a houses over it that needs to be removed to get at the thermostat. I have also read you should drain all the coolant out before starting, one or two people I've talked to said you can leave the coolant in so preceed at your own risk. (im going to try and drain mine)

Remove the housing cover, remember how the thermostat is orientated in the engine for later installation, replace the thermostat putting the new one in the same way the old one came out. Replace housing and hoses, refill the coolant, run the engine and heater to bleed out any air. Once the engine cools down, check the coolant level again.

Hope that helps.

You have to remove the hole corner lamp so you can get to the bulb in the back, you just need a srew driver

Check fuel delivery pressure

Should be:

at idle 13-20 psi

with ignition on and motor off 23-31 psi

Yes, I am told that is how you know where to connect the wires.

Generally when your flubbing your duggan, you should put some oil in that mawfuc*er.

you can't i konw this sounds dum but you can't there is a spot on ths side of you trans that you can put fluid in to take this out to put more in you have to use a 1/2 in drive soket it is just a little bolt that hase a squre head that is the squar head is in not out

because it doesn't exist - neither Haynes nor Chilton made one for the 5th gen. tercels - why? I don't know. Maybe the 1987-1994 Haynes or the 1984-1994 Chilton are good enough to use on models 1995-1999 - or maybe they were just to cheap to bother - I wish I knew because I am in the same boat - and I tried google, etc - I also tried Haynes & Chilton directly - nothing. There is always the Toyota factory service manual, if you can find one - it's more expensive but better quality - maybe that you can find on ebay.

Yes you do. Just remove the grease cap, cotter pin, nut retainer, and nut, and the drum will slide easily off the axle.

If you are in one of the northern states I would use 5W-30. I use 10W-40 in mine and I live in the Mid-Atlantic

I'll tell you, I am doing one right now and, trust me, you don't want to even start this! The oil pump is connected to the front crank seal housing so you must remove the oil pan to get the front housing off. If you have a four wheel drive wagon like mine, don't even bother because it is a 16 hour job. And there are no guarantees that you will be able even to disconnect motor mounts, disconnect support brackets for trans axle jack up motor without damaging exhaust, and then have the clearance to get to the oil pan bolts to remove the oil pan in order to access/remove front seal housing. It's a big pain and I had no idea what I was getting myself into and I've been a mechanic of 15 years.

the torque for the cam shaft are 9lbs/foot

Start at the n/cyl and push the clutch pedal down ONE TIME nd loosten the line going to the slave cyl. Close the line and let your foot off of the pedal and pres it down ONCE more and keep it up until there is no air comming out. Then go to the slave cyl and do the same until no air is present. Make sure the m'cyl doesn't run out of fluid. ALSO PUMPING THE PEDAL CAUSES THE AIR TO MIX IN THE FLUID.

try M-VACUUM DIAGRAMS search at yahoo.com under Toyota tercel vacuum. 91 to 94 are same

Warm engine. Jack passenger front from behind front wheel just enough to slide oil catch pan underneath .Be sure to slide jackstand underneath also (PLEASE).Oil pan is towards passenger side almost inline with tire it takes a 14mm wrench.Drain oil( Be careful its hot) and locate filter on front of engine just underneath exhaust manifold towards passerger side.You need to purchase or borrow a filter wrench that slides onto top of filter and uses a 3/8 ratchet with 1 in. extension ( A must).Replace filter reinstall oil drain plug.I had to make a gasket out of a piece if oil bottle to slide over drain plug to completely stop any leaks from drain plug.Remove jackstand and lower car,remove oilfiller cap on top of engine and fill with 3qts.of oil if engine is a 5EFE replace cap and start engine for a couple of minutes,shut engine off and check oil level on dipstick an underneath for leaks.I recommend if you are going to do this yourself go to a Toyota dealer and purchase a oil filter wrench , filter and oil.

A '93 Tercel will take very close to four quarts of oil. Now I am not 100% sure but i think that the tranny will hold close to four quarts of gear oil.

It could be dirty fuel injectors.

exhaust and intake. that is a rule of thumb for most cars though. the better they can breathe, the better off they are. other then that tercel's were never designed to be performance vehicles anyway. there are many ways to add horsepower though. personaly the 3e is in my opinion a waste of time. i did a 4efte swap into a 91 and was very pleased with the finsihed product. i would do an engine swap with one that has alot more support for things like this. the 3e isn't going to give you much of that.

There is a knob you twist beside your steering wheel close to your drivers side door twist it then the dash lights will brighten up this is what you have to do in my 1996 tercel so i would think it would be almost the same in a 95 tercel good luck lol

Disconnect battery. Remove air filter assembly. Remove brace from intake manifold to engine block next to starter. Remove the two wires from the starter. Remoye the two bolts holding the starter. One at the bottom the other at the top from the transmission side. The reason for removing the air filter assy.

The placement of the voltage regulator depends on the year of the Tercel. Some are mounted on the fender or firewall, most are an integral part of the alternator and cannot be replaced separately.

No, you only need to loosen your alternator belt, disconnect/unbolt the alternator and if you need more room which still wont be much, unbolt the passenger side mount after supporting it with a wood block on a jack and lower it a bit very slowly though. Wear gloves or watch your knuckles its a tight area.

It may need a heater core.

never done a tercel before, but generally the back lights and brake lights are reached by going into the trunk or hatcback. you may have to pull back some lining to reach the lights
