I think this guy is dreaming. Maybe $800.

well that's too bad. Looks like he has lots of vehicles and he might get rid of it after he does the fixes.

I may have to make a trip down to Calgary and take a look at this car. I

I had a 85 terc written off. They let my keep the car and paid me out $2500 for the car. I thought it was worth more but they had sent an appraiser out. Initially they wanted to give me something ridiculous like $500. I needed to prove that my car was worth more so I had to find tercels in the are t...

I had replaced both bearings in the spring because there was some road noise and play when the tire was wiggled. I took my car in the get one tire balance today and they told me I needed a new bearing on on my driver side and a inner tie rod end on the front passenger side. Considering how recently ...

I had pulled my distributor out when I had to replace my transmission. That was a the start of the year and I hadn't had any problems with the ignition till now. I can say I was never able to get the timing right again after the distributor was put back in. I tried inserting the distributor into dif...

That sounds very similar to the issue I have. I completely replaced the starter on my car and it seemed to start no problem and now it's back to doing the same thing.

I didn't think it was ignorant terminology. I certainly don't feel like I'm ignorant when it comes to mechanics, that being said I am no professional either. My understanding of the term "turning over" is that it is synonymous with cranking. I think you are taking it a little too far when ...

When I turn the key to make the car start it only makes a "tink" sound. Not multiple times just one tink. It does not crank (canadian jargon "turn over") or start.

Thanks Petros. I do know how to start a tercel in cold weather. I've had this car for a couple winters now. It's not the battery. It's something after the battery. It's the ignition switch or starter. Has to be one of those I will pull out my plugs and see what condition they are in as well.

It's a manual transmission. 1985. 141,000 km. I'll try those things you said tonight.

I think I know what the problem is but I wanted to draw on people's wisdom here before I go by parts. Here's the deal. A couple weeks ago my car won't start. I after turning the key the car did not turn over. So I imediately tried turning the key again and it fired up. Over the last couple weeks it'...

Sorry trip got cancelled. Work is too busy right now. I usually vacation in the Kootenays down by Nelson. Love the area.

Looks like I'll be on the island between August 27 and 29.

Apparently it's an automatic tranny with about 200,000 kms on it. Definately out to lunch.
