UPDATE:
Installed the catch can. She runs a lot better BUT oil is blowing out the top of catch can. Should I really be looking into an engine rebuild now?

i bought that one too, have yet to install it since I replaced my engine with a fresh 4ac and have no blow by now. it just goes between the valve cover and the air filter, the side that is supposed to flow out from the valve cover.

Yeah, I think the install will resolve most issues I'm having ...

I'm planning on buying this one off ebay, I guess.

Alright, so she's been driving a lot better. Not dieing at lights anymore & doing better around turns.
Did come home & did a quick look-over. The air filter is soaked in oil & I can smell burning oil. That has now confirmed by guess. Blowby & idled too low.
Anyone have a diagram or pic of how you ...

The large vac line is connected. I always make sure when putting it back on, that it's connected

Fuel consumption wise, I shall check the vac lines again. and go from there.

Thanks a bunch for the quick replies ...

Factory replacement. Got it online from the carb exchange located in Cali. The sent it to me so I could compare the two then sent mine to them to get the core charge back.
I was thinking the idle adjust too. Every mechanic I've come across has something different to say. Another reason why I do most ...

Actually, I was thinking of a different part. Yes, I have replaced the TVSV valve recently.

I did a little while ago. I have a full time job and don't really have much time to work on it anymore so I took it to my mechanic & he tweaked everything. Said my idle was wayyyy off & he adjusted the valves & pistons. To me, the idle is too low now.

Haven't checked the TVSV valve.

Hey! New to this group. Figured someone on here could lend some helpful tips. (:
I drive an 86 Tercel DLX 3AC 1.6L.

Car is idling rough, stalling on turns/accelerating & dieing at stop lights. Sucking gas like no tomorrow. Blowing a fair amount of oil into air intake mani.
