Re: Sudden loss of coolant...and power steering...and grill!
Thanks for the offer Petros....I may take you up on that if I can't find anything locally in a reasonable amount of time. Any chance you've also got spare corner marker lights? Would have to be mail/shipped though - unfortunately not really practical for me to drive to WA, I'm on the island so it wo...

Sudden loss of coolant...and power steering...and grill!
My (previously) handsome Tercel had a low-speed collision with the back of a full-size truck a few days ago, the trailer hitch hit the fan straight on and pushed it through the radiator. You can even see the indents of the 4 fan blades. Still runs okay, luckily I was only about 10 minutes from home ...

Need a radiator Vancouver Island
Anyone on Vancouver Island got a spare radiator suitable for a 1986 3A 2WD hatchback? Had a minor run-in with a trailer hitch on a large truck this morning and busted up my grill and radiator.

Re: Heat production better than expected
My current Tercel (86 hatchback) has the best heater of any car I've ever owned - I'd challenge any 2016 car to a passenger cabin cookoff. After 3 minutes of driving, it's like having a hair dryer blasting at you from each vent.

Seller did post about 7 other vehicles for sale on this site at the same time, which to me says this car might not necessarily have been his focus with maintenance.

Re: Engine idles fine, but bogs/hesitates at low RPMs?
There's no tach so I'm just guessing by ear, but perhaps between 1100 and 1300? No problem idling low when I turn the screw down, but then it almost stalled everytime I touched the gas, so turned it back up again so that it merely sputters again going through that range. And again no hestitation or ...

Re: Engine idles fine, but bogs/hesitates at low RPMs?
Okay thanks I'll try that....it already idles a bit high for my liking, I'd prefer not to turn it any higher.

Engine idles fine, but bogs/hesitates at low RPMs?
Hi, Unfortunately not a 4WD, but I've found this board has some of the best general information on the 3A engine and was hoping a member might be able to give me some ideas of what to look at. I have a 1986 Tercel hatchback, automatic trans.....starts fine, idles smoothly....If I put the trans in &q...

Re: 87 for sale Nanaimo, BC $700
Hey, Just signed up in order to pass on some info to other members...I went to look at this car last night. Silver body, black hood & black front panels. Has a ghostbusters sticker on the back window - and that sticks out to me because I swear I have seen a photo of this car before on here, or m...
