Thank you everyone for your advice. This forum is incredible! I'm pretty sure my water pump is leaking so I'm going to try changing that out. Does anyone know the difficulty level for that job?

I find that the t4wd will cool better with the original plastic splash guard in place below the rad & engine.

Really? That's awesome-- I always figured it'd be better to have it off. I'll have to go throw the guard back on before summer.


Chad-- Like everyone else has been saying, your car ...

I have an 85' SR5 and I love it, it's a champ! But the temperature gets hot fairly easily. The rpm runs at about 3500 when I get up to highway speed (70 mph). It doesn't take too long for this to bring my temperature up and risk overheating the engine. When I asked a mechanic about this, he told me ...

Excellent, I'll give that a shot when our snow melts. Thanks for the detailed instructions

thank you everyone. petros: i'm in denver

I know this is a silly question. But can someone please tell me where the carburetor is located exactly in my 85 Tercel SR5? It occasionally starts rough and usually diesels out. I have been told that it could be the fuel cut solenoid valves. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thank you.
