inaccurate trip meter
My current Tercel is a Frankenstein of transmission-to-the-cluster parts. The diff is from an '87, the trans is from an '83 (which shouldn't make a difference but is still worth noting since the speedo gear is in there), the speedo cable is from an '83, and the cluster is from an '83. I have seen ot...

Re: It starts but doesn't idle or stay running
Have you checked for vacuum leaks, and gone over the various carb settings to make sure they're correct?

Re: Sputters or dies after running a while.
If pouring gas down the carb when it stalls doesn't help, it's not stalling due to fuel starvation. Might be due to flooding which I mentioned could be due to running it with the wrong fuel pressure for that carb.

Re: Larry's 49 Chevy gets a 500 hp LS3
Holy smokes, that's really nice Larry. Did you find a local company to do the upholstery or did you have to order and ship stuff?
Don't worry about the pictures, they are all right side up when I clicked on them.

Re: Shifter bushings
That's interesting, good to know you found something that worked.
Did you check with Toyota for the shifter bushing? I think that's where I got mine last time. That was a long time ago now though, maybe 10 years or so.

Re: Parts to save from an 89 coupe
Unfortunately, there is no overlap between the third generation Tercel coupes and the second generation wagons so probably not going to be much interest in those parts here.

Re: Sputters or dies after running a while.
I don't believe the higher fuel pressure would cause damage to the carb, I think it would just cause it to flood or run rich at times. I never ran into that though so I can't say for sure though.

Re: Sputters or dies after running a while.
I agree with Mark. To answer the Weber/fuel pump/fuel pressure regulator questions, yes the Weber uses the stock fuel pump but it does require a FPR because the stock pump puts out a pressure of 5-6 psi and the weber likes 2-3 psi, IIRC. Mogordo if that's something you're going to look into you shou...

Welcome back! What was your user name here before? I'm not sure if you can post videos here -- for photos, you scroll down below the text field, click 'attachments,' click 'add files' and do that, then click 'place inline' to put them in your post. But I don't know if that works for videos, I think ...

Re: '83 3A hoses question
Welcome to the forum, desertrat. I love the user name, btw. Great imagery. That rear hose on the valve cover goes to the HIC (hot idle compensation) which does two things. It controls the air-fuel mixture, and also directs vacuum to a flap that controls whether the air intake is sucking warm or cold...

Re: my old nemesis: another gummed up distributor
I never gave this much thought before I saw this post. I think I'll pull the rotor off and take a peek behind the grease stopper. As long as you can rotate the rotor counter clockwise a little bit and it snaps back to position, it's ok. And unfortunately even once you remove the grease stopper and ...

Re: my old nemesis: another gummed up distributor
David, it is considered normal maintenance to re-grease the mechanical advance as part of a tune up procedure. if it is kept moving freely with penetrating oil, and an occasional clean and grease refresh, it should never get stuck like yours. I believe this is in the FSM as part of a regular servic...

failed brake caliper piston seal
About a year ago I replaced all the brake stuff on my current Tercel. I can't remember if the car came with new calipers or I bought them myself but anyway, they were new or remanufactured. I put them on and all seemed fine. Then recently I was driving to work when the brake light came on and stayed...

my old nemesis: another gummed up distributor
For the third time in my life, I have run into a stuck mechanical advance on a Tercel distributor. This one was working fine when I did a bunch of work on the car about a year ago (I have always checked for spring-loaded advance on them since my first experience with this) but over time I started no...
