Re: Idling too long?
My first guess is thermodynamics and fuel vapor lock. When the car isn’t moving with air flowing over the engine and radiator, heat builds in the engine bay and causes liquid gasoline to become vaporized. Especially modern ethanol blended gasolines. However, this doesn’t explain why the engine idle...

e-brake
Anyone else’s emergency brake indicator light stuck on? I know it’s a dumb thing to be concerned about, but here we are, together, loving that feeling of getting closer to our tercel, one repair at a time.
Is there someone who’s found where the the sensor is stuck?

Re: fuel issue?
it was sitting for a little less than three months. i drove it around for about a week and then did a few hundred miles in two days before the issue started.
not sure if/how it’s connected but imo the more info the better on this forum

fuel issue?
‘86 w/ weber carb not getting fuel pulled the filter and emptied it, put it back on and turned it over a few times, filter fills back up but it still won’t consistently send fuel past the pump. so it’s the pump (?), but i’m reluctant to put it on that since it’s a mechanical pump. it seems like they...
