likelihood of missing water pump blades/fins?
I installed the current water pump on my car within the last few years but I don't know what brand it is. Never had a problem with running hot since I installed it (the gauge always read from about 1/3-1/2) but I swapped clusters and the current cluster shows the temp 1/2-2/3 on the gauge. At first ...

Re: What year Tercel do I buy.
If one of the CV axles is blown, that will also cause a lack of drive to the front wheels. So I would inspect those before writing off the front diff. If you need an axle, DO NOT buy anything remanufactured. Most of the are junk. Rock Auto has several new axles that are decent, although I think peop...

Re: New owner introduction
Welcome to the forum SM! Where are you located? Looks fairly hot, I'm going to guess California or Arizona? 1. A lot of people here with aftermarket fuel tanks have run into similar issues with filling them. I don't remember anyone having figured out the cause or fixing it but it's worth doing a sea...

Re: What year Tercel do I buy.
If the door tag says it was made in February 1984, it's an 84. I think the starters are the same for all Tercel wagons though, both 2wd and 4wd. The dash gauges and 4wd shifter have nothing to do with the year. The gauge cluster with tachometer came in the SR5 (aka nicer trim package) models, and no...

Re: Cardone CV Axle troubles
I made a point to try all the different brands of new CV axles on Rock Auto over the last few years. Trakmotive seems to be the most popular with the Tercel crowd but I had a massive problem with one due to a faulty c-clip -- it seems like that was an anomaly, most people haven't had problems with T...

Re: Transmission.. Refresh?
When I have transmissions out, I like to replace the CV axle seals, 4wd shifter seal, and rear output shaft seal. You're right, it's much, much easier to do them with the trans out of the car. I also like to remove the shifter (which you will already have done to get the trans out of the car) and ch...

Wtb: rear left mud flap
If anyone has a rear left mud flap, preferably from an 85-88, that they would be willing to sell and ship to me, please let me know. I have the right one, as pictured below. Thanks!

Re: 83 engine vacuum line locations
back to this issue again. today, i noticed there is a very faded diagram on the hood that shows the vacuum lines. Can anyone take a picture of a readable sticker for the vacuum lines on this car? I think 83 and 84 are the same. Does your car have the federal or California emissions package? My cars...

Re: Fuel tank access hole
Rust penetrants are a must of course but they are only part of the solution. You still have to have a really light touch on the wrench/ratchet/screwdriver, and the patience work things back and forth lots to break small, rusty, old nuts and bolts free without stripping the heads or shearing the shaf...

Re: Fuel tank access hole
Take a look at Rockauto under Fuel Line / Hose for the Tercel; the Spectra Premium FG81A fuel tank pickup line assembly is shown for FWD applications. This might work on the wagon after carefully "adjusting" the metal lines below the plate to fit. I think someone here looked into this bef...

Re: Rockauto discount code
If I can't find an up to date Rock Auto code here on the forum I just search for "rock auto discount code" and go to the 'retail me not' site. Those have always worked for me. Here's one I just grabbed from there.
