Re: Distributor vacuum advance diaphragm adventures

Good luck finding a "good" one- I've got plenty of bad ones.

Re: 1988 Tercel DX Sedan 4D for sale (needs engine)

Just a FYI- this car is an "88 4wd wagon with an automatic trans and what appears to be 138K on the odometer. Can't believe you're not gonna fix the engine! If only it wasn't on the other side of the country from me... ( I'm in Baltimore, MD.)

Re: I Need A Rear Diff

Not on our cars- all you gotta do is pull the axle shafts, disconnect the driveshaft, and remove the 8-10 bolts (or nuts- I can't remember which) and the whole "pumpkin" comes out. All the shims, crush washers, etc. remain un disturbed in said "pumpkin." Easy-peasy- just like an ...

Re: 85 wagon, not running, $450 near Salem, Oregon

I got the twin to this car about a year ago- only mine was free and only had 82K on the clock. Car sat for 12 years and would completely clog a new fuel filter after driving 15-20 miles. Replaced the rotten fuel tank ( thanks Rock Auto), and it's been fine since.

Re: Rear pinion seal and bearing?

I've replaced a few rear pinion seals (never a bearing.) I get the driveshaft out of the way, mark EVERYTHING by the flange (flange, nut, and pinion shaft) count the number of turns it takes to remove the nut, pop out the old seal and install the new one. Then put the flange back in the same positio...

Re: Rear axle, drivers side. '84

Just an FYI- I'm pretty sure the right and left rear axle shafts are the same.

Re: Troubleshooting Non-Functioning Instrument Lights

Or just connect the dimmer wires together, thereby bypassing the dimmer and the lights should be full bright.

Have you checked the rheostat control for the bulbs? Do the illumination bulbs for the heater controls work?

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

Just had a look at some old engine parts I've got in my garage- there's a bolt (with a 14mm head) on the back of the camshaft that holds the distributor drive gear (which also is the excentric for the fuel pump lever) to the camshaft. Could that bolt be loose? Probably a long shot, but worth a try. ...

Re: Oh boy, valve knock? Video inside

First of all, how much oil did you have to add to bring it up to the "full" mark on the dipstick? Have you tried removing the pump again and starting the engine to see if the noise goes away? Oil leak could be coming from between the fuel pump and cylinder head.

Good luck.

Re: Seats from other Toyotas?

I assume the '86 auto was FWD? If so, the rear seats are definitely different.
