That's interesting your car doesn't have a charcoal canister to capture fuel vapors from the gas tank. I removed the charcoal canister on a previous car and noticed a strong gasoline smell from the pipe that used to go to the canister. Eventually re-installed it because I couldn't stand the gas ...

Easy way to check the AAP is suck on the hose that goes to it. If you get gas in your mouth, it's busted. Or you can use a vacuum gauge if you're not fond of the taste of gas.

TVSV's are occasionally available new on Alibaba, ebay, etc but for the most part you will have to find a used one. Should ...

I wasn't able to watch the videos last night but just did now and I agree with Paul. The cycling shown in the video is likely due to a vacuum leak, and the missing vacuum lines also point to a vacuum leak.

Also agreed re: the carb and emissions systems are designed to all work together so when you ...

There are so many possibilities with such an array of inconsistent symptoms like that. Did you have a carb kit and replace all the parts that came in it? Could be a vacuum leak, could be a leaking AAP diaphragm, might not be related to the carb at all, especcially since the carb was working (mostly ...

My first guess is you still have air in the lines and need to bleed all four brakes more. My second guess is your brake booster has a hole in it. Suck on the hose that goes to it and confirm that it holds vacuum like it's supposed to. If it doesn't hold vacuum you need to replace it.

Just a note, I moved fadebraham's post (and the subsequent posts) about their temp issues to a new thread here to keep things organized:

The #1 thing is to check the gear oil level in the transmission. If it's low, it will kill the transmission in short order so make sure to address any trans leaks as they come up. These transmissions are specific to this generation of Tercel with very few replacement parts available for it so it's ...

The OP hasn't logged into this site since 2019, and the last time Chris talked to him in 2022 there had been no progress on it.

Canadian Tire used to sell universal versions of those. I liked them because they made sense (the rubber wears out but the metal frame of the wiper rarely needs to be replaced) and were way cheaper. They stopped selling them a while back unfortunately but I guess I could look online for them. The ...

I'm not sure how to move your posts so I'll just answer them here but yeah, in the future you can start a new thread in the appropriate section of the forum.

If your car is 2wd it's most likely also a DLX trim level, and I have found the temp gauges in the DLX's to tend to read a bit higher than in ...

Hi Fadebraham, welcome to the forum. Yes, while the forum is specifically for 4wd tercels there is a lot of overlap with the other 2nd gen tercels which are the 2wd wagons and the hatchbacks.

If you follow the wires you will see they go to the choke and fuel cut off solenoids. You need that for the carb to work properly. You can do a search on here for how to check the choke and solenoids because if they malfunction they can cause issues.

What are you talking about? The green plug, the fitting with nothing connected to it, or the wire that is spliced into another wire with a scotch connector?

Welcome to the forum! Do you have a pic of the thing you're talking about? This is what the thermostatic vacuum switching valve (aka TVSV) looks like on North American Tercels.

But it screws into the coolant outlet at the front of the engine and has 5 vacuum hoses attached to it ...

I have only used aftermarket flexible brake hoses, never had issues with any of them. I don't know what brands they were because I wasn't picky but I'd be comfortable getting anything that wasn't the cheapest thing I could find on Rock Auto.
